This is sad to read, but I just wanted to say that I love the graphics in the article. They've presented the information in a nice way.

It's a very pretty confirmation of how fucked I already knew I am.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Indeed.

Awful news but great execution.

I'd like to receive all my bad news this way please.

The main reason I have a car is not for travel.

It's to sleep in if things go pear shaped. Maybe I should say more pear shaped.

Looked like it was already pear shaped, and more cock and ball shaped for the more vulnerable population.

I have a van too, ostensibly for camping, but “just in case” feels more and more possible in my a single income family (just 1 child though thankfully).

I've seen parking spaces in the city going cheaper than studio apartments, I was wondering how they'd feel about buying a space to live in my van there? Spend my day at the gym or library, pop by at night to sleep in the van.
