Which Cats_R _Us Member is Secretly in Love With You?

Just a random quiz lol~~~

It's a valid answer though. :(

An SSRI every morning, making lists and spreadsheets of things I should be doing but am not every afternoon, and a mouthguard every night seem to do the trick.

It's the extra laziness and hedonism in getting delivery that's the kicker here. Apparently certain high schoolers here and that I have known IRL get Doordash nearly daily while also having a pressing need to get out of their parent's house.

I started it last night and am enjoying it. I am still getting a hang of timing my chores and whatnot though. I may have overplanted.
Also, the game is apparently a sequel to one called, "Where the Goats Are."

"It's also fascinating to me that the negative fallout of war is attributed to Ares. The destruction, loss of life, the violence ... since war itself is deified and has a face, people can simply blame him for the evil things that war does. He IS war. "

This was really interesting to me too. The different gods and goddesses are intentionally stirring up trouble and preventing the end of the war, but it's ok because all the consequences can be blamed on Ares. :)

I am very late to the party, but I really liked the line, "the old man never read their dreams again" to describe the death of Eurydamas' sons. I also thought it was fitting that Pandaras specifically is said to have had his tongue cut off by Diomedes' spear immediately after he was chirping at Diomedes.

Why do you pay delivery instead of packing it if it's literally just Dollar General food? This is getting worse the more I hear about it!

Oooh, I've never tried it with balsamic vinegar. I should try that later this month.

Cabbage is a really cheap vegetable that is delicious when cooked well and does not spoil easily. A really easy way to make cabbage is to just cut it into wedges and roast it.
To do this, line a cookie sheet with foil and put some olive oil on it. This makes clean-up easier and keeps the cabbage from sticking. Then take any loose or damaged outer leaves off the head of a cabbage, cut off the stem, and cut the cabbage into wedges. The number of wedges depends on how big the cabbage is; most cabbages will be cut into 6-8 wedges. Then lay these wedges on the baking pan, drizzle a little olive oil on over them, and sprinkle salt and pepper over it. I like to also add a (very) light drizzle of agave syrup. You could use honey instead or skip the sweetener entirely. At this point you can also add other seasonings like cayenne, but this is not necessary. You want the sweetness of the cooked cabbage to be the main flavor.
Bake the cabbage at around 350 F. until it is cooked and the edges are browned. Then just eat it with a knife and fork as a delicious side dish.

This is just one of many ways to eat cabbage. I prefer cooked cabbage over raw, as it is easier on the stomach that way, and I think it tastes better. You can also cut it up into bite sized pieces and law it on top of stews and pot roasts, stir fry it, use it to make soups like borscht, or put slices of it on the grill.

"All the Things to Fund Before You Even Consider Downloading Doordash" was too long to fit in the title space.

A puzzling trend has been noted among the children lately. Apparently, it is now socially acceptable to Doordash fast food multiple times a week rather than cooking far more nutritious and far cheaper food themselves. This might be tied to the disturbingly common inability to boil rice. In any case, here are a few of the many things to examine before any of you highschoolers should even consider downloading Doordash.

• Are you looking to escape your bumfuck nowhere town? The cost of living elsewhere will likely be higher--even without considering that you might live rent-free now.
• Do you own your own vehicle free and clear? Can you afford to fix your vehicle or find alternative transportation if your it breaks down? How much is your auto insurance?
• Have you been saving for retirement first? Contributing $100/week to a Roth IRA starting when you are 18 will allow you to be a millionaire at 65. Many elderly people are at risk of homelessness because they rely entirely on social security and government benefits which can take years to obtain. I know a veteran who literally had no legs but took years to get moved into an apartment building with an elevator. If he had not had the upper body strength and the will to bring himself up and down the stairs every day, he would have rotted in his apartment.
• Can you afford a medical emergency? Sure, you might be on your parents' insurance now, but can you afford the deductible and copays? What do you do when you age out or they lose insurance? What if you are abroad or otherwise have to go somewhere out-of-network, and it takes time to figure out your insurance benefits. Do you know what kind of coverage you still have? A lot of people end up putting medical debt on a credit card, which then puts them in a financial hole that they may never dig themselves out of.
• Have you considered the cost of housing? You do not want to be forced to move in with an acquaintance or partner because it is the only way to avoid homelessness. If things go wrong and they become intolerable or abusive, you are trapped, and if they do not pay their share of the bills, you will end up homeless anyway. You should make sure you are set up to not be living paycheck to paycheck.
• Are you planning on pursuing higher education? Chances are you will not have any more time to work through college than you do now. Your grades will actually matter, and you may have to take jobs that pay less than you would otherwise like in order to increase future opportunities. You also want to make sure you are still having time to network, make friends, stay fit, and have fun.
• How many months can you live on your current savings if you lost all familial support? Five months of expenses saved up is a common benchmark that people use, but if you have an emergency at the same time, five months will not be enough.
• Poverty is expensive. I have had many tax clients that accepted a $60 bank charge to get their tax preparation fees taken out of their refund, because they could not afford $200. $260 to pay a $200 bill is a terrible deal. Avoid situations where you are constantly kicking your expenses down the road while they continue to grow.
• Cooking your own food is cheap. You can feed yourself for a week for the cost of one Doordashed meal. Learn to cook well, and you'll be able to save your money for things you need (or actually good restaurant food that hasn't been sitting in someone's car for 20 minutes).

This is just the start of a long list of reasons to think carefully before Doordashing food to your school. I am sure other people on the site can add many more. :)
