So what is your name?

Would you describe yourself as more of the old and bitter type or more of an autistic miser?

I bought my freedom. I have certain obligations now, but one day that will happen full time. I have already traveled pretty well but that is the goal.
You say you’re trying to teach me but I already know the lesson. I’m trying to teach you and you’re fighting me.

Yeah, in shitty apartments. I make $110k and I live in a 600 square foot apartment built in 1980. Currently trying to save up $100k for a 20% down payment

Good for you.
I know what your saying. I don’t have a liberal arts undergraduate degree.
Only wish more conservatives would vote.

I don’t really give a shite what you say. You’re childless at 55 years old so you’re thought process isn’t rooted in the reality of the super majority of people and you’re too stupid to understand that.
I wouldn't really rip into anyone else on here when you have 36k post in 9 years. That's fricking incredible. On top of that lameness, you think you are somebody cool which bolsters the delusion in your mind. How the frick would you know how to do anything other than be on here 24/7 ?

I know.
You’re so angry you’re not even listening.
You are a senior engineer. Good for you. You seem to know a lot about me. I’m poor, uneducated, dumb, ear rice and beans, hermit, miserable, etc. But I never said any of those things. Yall are saying those things I guess to prove your point or discredit mine. I never called you dumb, stupid, or uneducated.
