Depends on where you live. I grew up taking Oklahoma City public transit, and you could get mugged for pocket change at some of the bus stops. Now I’m in Washington and my area is pretty safe.

I’d say those are keyboard shortcuts.

I grew up in red state poverty, moved to the west coast, and people up here genuinely do not understand what it’s like to live somewhere that sees travel as a bougie thing. I talk about how my parents couldn’t afford to send me with my class on the senior trip to europe, the first question that gets asked is why I couldn’t get a job and save up, not understanding I was childcare and housekeeping for my family while the adults worked. It’s not just coming up with the travel costs, it’s also coming up with the money to hire out replacements for the services I provided for free.

I’m privileged I could test high enough to get into a school that had a senior trip to europe, the public school barely got normal field trips. It’s not hard to understand why the person in OP would assume exchange students have access to a higher quality of life than them, they can clearly already afford to travel.

Somehow Walmart is leading innovation, launching a butthole logo in '07. Truly ahead of their time.

It depends on what you use your computer for, really. My partner isn’t very tech savvy and doesn’t use their computer for anything more than watching youtube and writing emails, so porting them directly to Ubuntu was super easy.

Hey, gimp is a nice open source image editor, don’t insult it by comparing it to this guy

I haven’t done it in decades, so I don’t know if it’s changed, but there used to be an option called flying standby. You’d buy a ticket without a seat assigned, and you’d just go to the gate and wait to see if a flight went to your destination with an empty seat you could claim. It was cheaper, but no guarantee of getting a flight.
