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.

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.

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).

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.

Indeed.

Awful news but great execution.

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