By what definition of middle class are you considering $250,000 to be middle class? That's greater than the 90th percentile income.
This has to be a joke. Reminds me of getting a handful of nugs from my dealer in high school, pre-legalization, because he ran out of bags. Or a cigarette wrapper that was burnt shut to hold a dime bag.
Weird how actual slavery was "no big deal" but paying taxes is the worst thing ever because it's tantamount to slavery and theft.
Yep, I bought a Brother laser printer for $120 a few years ago. I don't use it super often, but it's been reliable and easy to use whenever I need it. I've never had to replace the toner. It just works.

Incredible. What's the context for when this was offered as advice?
There are five lights!
Yup. My childhood best friend reached out after learning that I was getting divorced a few years back. He lived out of state but was in town visiting family, so we got dinner. It was good to catch up. I ended up being one of his groomsmen and we still talk/game together, although distance still prevents us from meeting IRL too often.
I knew about this but it's never made sense to me. If I was a billionaire I'd never drive myself anywhere, particularly not if I was going to be intoxicated.
IDK, I don't feel like I had to say that much to get in with my alt. I just wrote about how I liked having some more heavily moderated spaces to discuss sensitive topics. I even mentioned that I planned to maintain an alt to access less moderated spaces, just that I also intended to respect the culture and the vibe of Beehaw when interacting there.
I've also worked in state government. I am both surprised and not surprised to hear this.
