@SkyNews 82 years you say...? Weird I was told we are living through the hottest temps to ever exist literally ever in the entire history of the world on a daily basis.

BREAKING: The all-time May record temperature of 32.8C has been matched for the first time in 82 years #liveblog-body" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">news.sky.com/story/weather-…

Joe Rogan says there are 2 different possibilities for Fox News to now be openly reporting on the 4 different aliens types encounters by the US Government The first option is, it’s nonsense and they are being fed nonsense by the government The second option is its disclosure “Are they slow trickling this out to us to get regular folks like boomers, get them accustomed to this idea of there are entities out there? What if they're just acclimating you to the reality of our world? And what if the truth is, there's people around you that are aliens and you don't even know it?” The thing is both of these possibilities could be true The US Government had entire departments that fed the public fake UFO and alien misinformation. It’s gone on for decades The second option could also be true. US government does disclosure in steps to get the public used to ideas before revealing the full truth The 4 different alien types they disclosed have all been part of leaks. So it’s very possible they could be confirming the leaks were true

@TheJoeySwoll I have put it off for over a year. My politeness only goes so far. And I don’t need that stress.

This is just being mean and the exact reason why people are afraid to go to the gym! 😡

@TwitchSupport @djclancy999 I didnt have a big channel. But average around 20-25. Im stopped streaming on twitch because of crap like this. Oh, and the special treatment of "some" streamers. Best decision i've made.

What can you do if you’re being maliciously botted? @djclancy999 announced a new feature that allows you to cap your visible viewcount! We know streamers don’t like their CCV data being falsified, and capping prevents bad actors from getting the results they want:

@CynicalPublius and* picked

Millennial here. Black Eyed peas that we went an picked, with cornbread was a staple when I was a kid. Literally grew up surrounded by junk cars. (small junk yard) As I got older I realized how broke we were. My new school shoes came from Saturday morning yard sales. NO food stamps or social assistance. And you know what, looking back I learned a lot growing up in poverty. Now, I dont spend more than I make, no matter the amount(less than 50kyr now). I go get food when I want it, and dont have it delivered. I drive a car I paid for in cash. Basic insurance. No personalized tag. I dont buy designer clothes. I dont have 30 streaming services. I have a few but within the budget. I also know I live in a cheap state. I know its different for everyone. But the one consistent thing everyone could do, spend less on all the extras, yes that includes your phone bill and internet, than you make. Not financial advice.

In the 80s my furniture was from Goodwill, I fixed my 1972 Chrysler with parts from the junkyard, ramen was my primary food source and I recall having Wonder Bread toast with mustard for dinner because that's all I could afford. Gen Z has created an America that never existed.

WTF....... What Years.. The last 20 years aint it chief. And I really dont understand people who refuse any self reflection. You may not be able to afford the home you want by cutting lunch cost. But why spend the money you could be saving? Its almost like some people just want to be broke. Stop spending money you dont have. Beans and rice, sandwiches, rice and ground beef, potatoes and ground beef, chicken and rice, pasta salad with black beans or chicken. None of that is expensive and all good options to mix it up for the week.

@TarHeeled67 @ShamashAran for nearly 20 years a single minimum-wage worker could comfortably afford a mortgage on an average house You people are more comfortable blaming others when the obvious is staring you in your face.

~$3.50

Sure you can choose to pay 30 bucks for lunch, that doesnt mean you have to. Same thing with people complaining they "can't afford to live" when they are driving around in a 50k car they couldnt afford to start with. Because you can doesnt mean you should. Stop spending money you dont have. Its really not hard. And Im a millennial before any of you morons come at me with "boomer".

Does he not realize that’s how much lunch costs now?

@Wendys care to chime in on the $28 lunch? If I remember correctly, you can get a biggie bag up sized to large for like 8 bucks...... Eating something and eating something you cant afford arent the same. Also, prices are likely different in big cities. Ill take Wendys over 5 guys any day.

Kevin O’Leary says Gen Z is financially cooked when people making $70K a year are spending $28 on lunch

I dont want to sound rude or anything, Im genuinely curious. Why havent the swaths of socialist in the US just formed companies where all workers own an equal portion? Generate the capital needed to start it, set up the business, and make it successful. It seems like its perfectly legal to do. It would honestly be good for real free trade market. Challenge the industry with competition.

No I work in retail where I can quite literally see how much money I’m making the company. I’ll do anywhere between $600 and $2000 in a 5hr shift while only making $71. It’s more radicalizing to see the dramatic extent at which your surplus labor is being extracted

@jglover1199 @thematrixb0t If they raise the cap, the uber rich get more back at retirement.... This is SS tax, not income tax being discussed.

This entire discussion is just gum flapping from people who believe that these statistics are meaningful. Everyone understands how the system works, if they want to raise the cap to pay into social security, write a bill and put it forward. Talking about it is a performative waste of time.

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes Murray: And the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2% Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

If you remove the cap, the millionaires and billionaires will get a substantial amount more at retirement...... Further putting the burden on our government to pay them very large sums of money that the government doesn't have because they are bad with money. SS tax is also not income tax.

@thematrixb0t I'm not a pro tax guy but this never made sense to me. However, the order of priority for the government should be: 1) Root out all waste and corruption in SS 2) Prosecute all perps to the fullest extent 3) Make all earning levels pay the 6.2% SS tax 4) Reassess periodically

Jesus this is getting old. We honestly need to have some sort of IQ test for not only voting but for running for office. If you make 184k, you pay 12.4% If you make 200k, you pay 12.4% up to that 184k mark. Then whatever % after that. So a millionaire is paying the same 12.4% on the 184k then a smaller % after. Think of Social Security is an "individual account". Meaning you get back what you pay in. Im not sure why it matters what millionaires pay. A millionaire paying a higher % of SOCIAL SECURITY TAX isnt going to go to your pockets. The reason there is something like 60k pages of tax code is so we fight over it and never get to the basic level of understanding of US taxes. It should be: A: Flat Tax (ie. 10% for everyone, businesses included, with no write offs, no work arounds. B: Consumption Tax, meaning the more you buy, or more expensive items you buy the more the government gets. This isn't hard and taxes as we know them are indeed theft. I should add, I think all forms of "income" taxation are theft by the way.

@ElektronDeForza @TheJeffPutnam If you agreed to it, then it’s on you. It’s you going back on the agreement not them.

@DeuceMS @TheJeffPutnam nah, Fuck that. the basement won't flee during the night, he can finish it on the next day. unless something is literally on fire it can be finished on the next day. OP mismanagement isn't the kid fault

It’s odd to me to come across so many young people (17-25) who fail to understand that responsibilities don’t just disappear because you’re angry to think something isn’t fair. Had a 19 year old kid start at my job two days ago and today he was fired. Why? Because of a last minute change order on a job required him to stay at a customers house later than he expected. “But I made plans.” No one gives a flying fuck. Shut the fuck up, man up, and do your job without whining like a little bitch. But no, instead of doing his job, he threw a mini tantrum and then called his girlfriend to drive 45 minutes across town to come pick him up. It’s fucking pathetic.

What movie death hit you the hardest? I’ll start: It was supposed to be an exhibition!

109 Actual work hours. Lunch and dinner hours not included. When we were out of town working, 60 in 5 days was standard. Normally traveled at least once a month. That was 20 plus years ago. Changed jobs to work one where on festival weekends, I’d average about 38 hours on Friday and Saturday. Not including shop days leading up to it. Glad I don’t any of that anymore.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever worked more than 60 hours in a week?

@zakuzho @Topboy_Bionic @GoldBellClips I dont think an expensive car makes someone better. I dont make enough to buy something like that. And I dont see point into going into debt for a set of wheels to get me from one place to the next. Im not that calm of a person. Hope this sums it all up for you.

@DeuceMS @Topboy_Bionic @GoldBellClips So you’re talking from personal experience? 🤣🤣🤣

I'm amazed at his calmness, that car is worth more than $300k

@Innedit1 @GoldBellClips From the amount of likes my post got, seems a lot of people understand the reason. Just wish more people would use that on a day to day basis.

@DeuceMS @GoldBellClips Wow this is so deep I can’t imagine a person understanding this. You must have a really high IQ
