I just bought a deck yesterday. Now you're telling me I can play my Gamecube games on it? Brain melts

It was at one point in time, but it has become non gendered over time.

You are both correct.

That's the neat part, you don't.

Jokes aside, the game is a lot more entertaining if you run to places with the charged jump, sandevistan, and mantis blades

I work in a family owned grocery. They use MSRP for most things. Distributor prices went up, which made store prices go up. Manufacturing prices probably also went up. But the markup that the store gets is about 10% less now (45% to 35%). They are still well off.

Should know but probably doesn't, or wasn't thinking at the time

While I don't relate to your situation entirely, I go through thoughts of suicide or running away occasionally. I have over 100k in debt. I have a Bachelor's degree in game programming and didn't land a job after college, so now I'm working minimum wage cleaning toilets and taking out trash, paying ~900 a month on just loan payments. I also have a $268 car loan payment. Half my income covers loans, if I work full time.

Im also in a lucky position. I don't have rent, but I do pay all the bills, and property tax. I have a car still. I have my own place still. I can still work, and get to and from work. There were several times I almost lost my car. And if I did, I would also lose my job because I don't have reliable transportation.

I consider running away at the same times I consider suicide, because I don't want to die, but I don't want to live in my situation either. I think about going on the road and driving around the country, doing things I've never done before. But I am a gamer through and through, I build games for a career I am trying to get into. I also like sleeping in a bed, not on the ground, or having to inflate and deflate an air mattress (which i did for a while).

Do you want to die, or do you not want to be in your current situation? The decision to commit is a binary one, but there are many more options available by not committing, and you get to experience more you would not have previously. There are things I would have never tried if I didn't make it to my current age. Ending my life at any point previously, and I would have missed out.

I still think about suicide or running away when I'm down, or anxious, or depressed. Most recently from bad days at work. But then I consider my options, and ask if running away or suicide is really a better option than just letting the current situation play out.

Try and find things to do or people that put you in a good place. Even while your world is falling apart, try and have fun, within your means. It will help clear your mind of bad thoughts and feelings.

When I lived in San Francisco, I watched a movie in theater and an SF scene appeared. The audience cheered just from seeing the golden gate Bridge. The geography of the areas around the bridge are what get misrepresented the most, since most media slaps the bridge in the background.
