There is no way to win this game. There is no behavior that will satisfy them.
You are either failing to live within your means, i.e., swearing off all frivolities like some sort of financial anchorite, or you are ruining the economy by not buying things.

This was a good thing to do at midnight on Halloween. No lost sleep, nope, none at all. Thanks @dannyrobins.bsky.social
A really interesting case though, in all seriousness. I'd definitely heard of attached houses sharing activity but a whole street? There have to be more out there...

Gargoyles had a solid fanbase when it was airing. But over thirty years later, its greatest legacy lies in it being proof that if you tell kids stories in a way that respects their ability to comprehend not only plot but sincere emotion, they'll embrace your work forever.
The "Gargoyles" animated series premiered on this day (Oct. 24) in 1994 with "Awakening, Part One!" One of the best and most influential shows of the 1990s, this fan-favorite cartoon offered-up mature and complex characters, incredible casting, and strong story-telling! #Gargoyles

Not having internet for the past couple of days has lead to me hearing more songs by/usually featuring FKA twigs than I ever thought I would.
Just a funny pattern, not a complaint.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.
