2020 was an anxious blur that broke me. 2021 I took my mental and physical health much more seriously, found a great psychiatrist and began medication, found a much higher paying job at a fully remote company, and am now the fittest I’ve e

No, got the 13 inch M1 Macbook in May and love it. Haven't run into any of the bugs others were seeing on release. It's noticeably heavier than my 2014 Macbook Air, and I'd much rather have the extra portability and plug into

No landlord has been receiving $0 in rent for the last 18 months. Either they accepted rental assistance from the government (covering the full amount of missing rent) or they have declined rental assistance from the government, and have ev

Genuinely curious- why are so many on here upset by this statement?
