@TW0HEADEDBEAST My wife started making bread... not because we can't afford it, but because for about a month every loaf we bought tasted stale... it's great, and super easy (according to her)

my boomer father didn't make his own bread my stay at home mother didn't make bread my FUCKING GRANDPARENTS DID NOT FUCKING MAKE BREAD FROM SCRATCH I AM NOT LIVING WORSE THAN MY FUCKING "SURVIVED THE GREAT DEPRESSION" GREAT GRAND PARENTS WHO ALSO DIDN'T MAKE BREAD!

@emmamurabito At that point, I found a listing for a "mother-in-law" house. Literally living in someone's back yard, lol. It was a pretty sweet spot for a bachelor, I thought. Not great, but affordable for me in a new area where I didn't know anyone at all.

@saltepepe that’s the thing though most places aren’t renting for as low as $400 a month nowadays and if they are it’s oftentimes per person (like college students sharing a space as roommates) a lot of rent is like minimum $1,000 and oftentimes without utilities included nowadays

let’s say a gen z person bought two $28 burritos a month. that’s $56 a month and $672 a year, which isn’t even enough to pay a month’s worth of rent at most places nowadays, let alone the cost of a home. cancelling subscriptions, not eating takeout, etc. does not change that much

@NEETzscheIDDQD You think you're entitled to a free meal, so what's the difference?

Boomers think "eat like a gulag inmate" is a solution to the problem of "lunch out costs $28."

@herosnvrdie69 What? Are you working absolutely no overtime? Gtfo

Welders here make 23 dollars an hour on average which take home is only 3,000 dollars a month which is only 36,000 dollars a year they actually take home. Someone who is risking their life and health at work is selfish for wanting some pizza and beer on a Friday night.

@emmamurabito Well... not everything was saved.... I drank a lot of it back then.... A lot. Ah well, I did save some of it :)

@emmamurabito I mean.... my first place was $400/ month + utilities. Got paid every week I lived so cheap I could pay ALL monthly expenses off of one pay check, everything else was saved. Got raises, Bought a house, got married, had a kid. Still living comfortably within my means

@BlameItOnRyen Nah, I don't think I will

I’m so sick of people talking shit about Marathon when they clearly haven’t even played it. The game is legit incredible, get off twitter and play a game for once instead of posting constant engagement bait for a couple of likes and retweets. Grow the fuck up.

@VeryBadLlama Coming from a fat kid, I assume.

before you get too nostalgic for this era you should know that every kid in this footage would have known at least 8 different strategies to encourage you to develop an eating disorder

@SeanMcCarthyCom Sandwich fixings go a long way for $28...

Lunch just costs $28 now. Are they not supposed to eat?

@IMAO_ Being one of the first race swapped characters, I'm not surprised no one cared... also this was during 56k dial-up time, so if someone noticed, who were they going to tell. Third, back to point one, when it never ends and has become a meme at this point, are you surpised?

Interestingly, Xena Warrior Princess had a black Helen of Troy thirty years ago, but race wasn’t a big deal back in the 90s.

@JackCR_Ds @K__Med So when everyone is fired because no one made any money.... like... is that not enough?

@saltepepe @K__Med That begs the question who is the audience. The answer is gaming journalists. This is a game for no one except peoples whos job is to get through games as quick as possible. The purpose of games is enjoyment. This is not a game.

These people don't like games. They aren't "saving" the industry, they're trying to make sure others don't enjoy it.

@YourAnonNews @TrajansGhost That's a wealth tax, not an income tax. And that's a terrible idea. Full stop.

@TrajansGhost So if you're against taxes and public funds, why don't you move to a country that has no taxes? The tax rate in the 50s for millionaires was 92%, that's why everyone was doing so well.

Why would anyone be against this at all? Are you against this??

@xMBGx Steam machine... if I decide to get a console...

The PS6 and Xbox Helix are expected to release Holiday 2027. Based on what we know right now, which one are you more likely to buy? Or will you be skipping next-gen altogether?

@d_h_sanders The existence of the puckle gun and cannons prove this obvious falsehood

It effectively illustrates that you could not commit a mass shooting with technology from the 18th century

@PotatoMcWhiskey Its because they want to ride side by side to block traffic, but can't do single file so that doesn't happen. THAT'S why they are hated

Car drivers when they have to go 25km/hr for a minute or two so as not to kill another person with their giant metal brick on wheels

@A_i Good luck to you guys. It's not for me, but it's for someone

Scores are in. 🎧🔥

@Silkychicken @WeArePlayground You can live without gta too my friend.

@WeArePlayground I've purchased the highest edition of FH since FH 3. I will download the torrent if I find it and I will play it early. if you want to "franchise-wide and hardware bans" me, be my guest. I refund this and never buy FH again. Its not GTA 6. I can live without it.

We are aware of reports that a build of Forza Horizon 6 has been obtained prior to its release and can confirm this is not the result of a pre-load issue. We are taking strict enforcement action against any individuals found accessing this build including franchise-wide and hardware bans. We encourage fans to sit tight for the game’s release on May 19.

@redshirt990 He said "looking up" Doesn't exactly have the same connotation, does it?

White people think George floyd is Jesus Christ to black people

@Internet3njoyer @reduaraMehTllaS @Pirat_Nation

@reduaraMehTllaS @Pirat_Nation not sure what ur talkin about.

The video game industry is lobbying against Stop Killing Games California is considering a new law called AB 1921, also known as the Protect Our Games Act. If passed, the bill would apply to paid digital games sold after January 1, 2027. It requires that if a company shuts down the online services needed to play the game normally, it must give players 60 days' notice and either release a patch so the game can still be played or offer buyers a full refund. The bill does not require companies to keep servers running forever. It simply prevents them from making a game unplayable without warning or a solution for those who already paid for it. The Entertainment Software Association, the main group representing video game companies in the United States, is lobbying against the bill. Their arguments are basically the usual ones: >games are licensed, not owned >online services are complicated >third-party licenses expire >security risks exist >this could be hard or expensive to enforce Supporters of the bill, including the Stop Killing Games campaign, say this is basic customer protection because when you buy a game, it should not suddenly stop working with no remedy. The bill gives companies clear options and applies only to future games. A hearing is scheduled for this Thursday in the California Assembly Appropriations Committee. If you are part of an organization in the United States, especially in California, you can submit a letter of support to the committee. This is an important step for better rights for players who buy digital games.
