I notice you edited your post to remove the Denver reference.
80% of median is not upper middle class income in the area that this article is about. It sounds like a lot of money, but it is not in those areas. Not all areas are alike. Upper middle class income would be 200k or more.

Turtles do not grow to the size of their tanks, that's a myth similar to the one about goldfish and is unfortunately used to sell or justify keeping animals in environments too small for them. They will all keep growing as normal regardless of if it results in them having no room to even turn around.

By default, when anything is born, starts dying. Some things die sooner, some later. Unless you are a magic jelly fish that lives forever and regenerates its cells. Why magic? Cause we have yet to comprehend how it does that, and until we know, anything that's not explainable is magical by default. 🤣

I mean…. You’d need to be about 60 to regularly use the word “curmudgeon”

Was the team just not there? Or they don’t have a team? I’m confused? State is for teams. Allstate is for individuals

The cost is whatever they could have obtained instead of the subsidized units. Google "community benefits agreement" for examples.

I remember being a kid and having to do the halftime routine alone along with cheering the whole game, it was cold and none of the other girls showed up. I still to this day don’t know how I did it!

Or any other animal, they got African wild dogs and it's really sad. Zoos are sad.

As if 9 figure jackpots aren’t becoming kinda common these days. We just had multiple within the last couple months.

I'm homeless, people need to accept western churches don't help the homeless. Sikh/some eastern religion churches are the exception. Sanctuary is a scam, your collection plate goes right into the collectors pocket.

You'd have to win a 9 figure jackpot, even in the Outer Sunset land is in the multi million dollars per acre.

Roommates. Don't own a car. Be reasonable about your expenses.

This is exactly how it was in my high school. The cheerleading coach was a tyrant and expected that, if you were a cheerleader, you wouldn't be in any other extracurricular activities or demanding electives like band or show choir. You couldn't join Student Council or National Honor Society. (Our pom-pon squad, which was a different thing, encouraged well-rounded participants and had to turn away auditioning girls every year.)
She disregarded safety protocols and wouldn't let a friend of mine call her parents when she hit her head. We thought it was retaliation because the girl had auditioned for a school play. Did I mention the woman's brother was a longtime school board member?
In a school of around 1,000 kids, the only senior cheerleaders left by my graduating class were her niece and a greatly disliked girl who always thought being a cheerleader would elevate her social status. It didn't.
Things have changed in the intervening years, but cheerleading was not a popular extracurricular choice at my school 20 years ago.

Being so paralyzed by cold that it doesn't eat for months may be why it's small. Or the body eating itself to stay alive.
