Can we skip the ones where he was just a sperm donor with no intention to be a father?

At least those ones don’t have a “father” and it was intentional from before conception…

There was definitely a point in my career where I was making 50k CAD/year and it was a bigger change than my previous job when I went from 40k to 45k. I’m in a HCOL area.

I was able to rent my own small 1 bedroom apartment (price has more than doubled since then 🤮), go on small little trips locally, finish paying off me debt, buy a few nice things, and actually save money.

Over the years my salary increased a lot as I retrained as a software developer, and sure, the money is nice and I can buy more nice things and save more, but the big change was at 50k when it finally felt comfortable.

If it was 50k then though, given rent increases and other cost of living increases, I’m not sure you’d get that same experience until 70-75k now though.

I know it’s a typo… but an Ora Mastadon sounds really fucking cool too!

I got ya. This is all it says about her on that article

The actress stars in a buzzy new ad for Emirates Airlines where she wakes up from an awful dream of flying on a plane without luxury amenities, but in reality flying gives her nightmares. The nervous passenger leans on a preflight ritual to make sure any type of in-flight meltdown is avoided.

“If I walk onto an airplane, I always have to go on with my right foot first and tap the outside of the plane. I have always done it. For luck,” she says. “Someone told me to do it, and I don’t remember when that was. But it’s kind of stuck.”
