@Uncle_TCUN @nowhesobs @the_satellite23 “I own two properties and have the money to afford 2 kids and put them through college and it’s all because I didn’t spend $28 on lunches. Definitely no other reason at all, only that.”

@nowhesobs @the_satellite23 Funny, because I’m putting my kid through college with no student loans needed. My second child also has a 529 that will cover her. I own two properties including s lake house.
But yea, i’m a peasant because i choose to save where it’s easy and have done so for decades.

Loaf of bread = $5
Peanut butter = $4
Jelly = $4
18 pack of chips = $12
Bag of apples = $5
Total = $30
And you'll have lunch for an entire week or two. $2-4 average per day.
Inflation isn't the problem. Your spending habits are.

Kevin O’Leary says Gen Z is financially cooked when people making $70K a year are spending $28 on lunch
English
@FZoeler @JoelWBerry I love the logic of “why are they wasting $10 on coffee?” instead of the far more reasonable “why is coffee $10 and why does spending that make you broke in a fist world country?” If you can’t afford a little luxury in the “greatest country on earth” then something is wrong.
English
@JoelWBerry Please, you’re trying to reason with morons. The same morons who spend $10/day for coffee and have a $1500 car payment, but it’s the economy 🙄

A little-known hack:
2 slices of Aldi wheat bread: $0.17
3 oz of Aldi deli turkey: $0.86
1 slices Aldi cheddar: $0.15
1 condiment of your choice: $0.02
1 apple: $0.53
1 hard boiled egg: $0.14
5 carrot sticks: $0.17
Cold water from the tap: $0.01
Total: $2.05
You can do this.

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

@Star_rena2 I’m fully aware the “nice guys don’t get laid” thing is nonsense because they’re rarely nice guys, but yall are really doin work to affirm the stereotype of “assholes that treat people poorly get the girl” 😭 pls no

@TrustlessState Guillotines are also good deterrents for corruption
English
Unironically, congress members should be paid 600k-800k a year
Strong financial compensation is a fundamental deterrent for corruption and alternative interests
Rep. Jack Kimble@RepJackKimble
Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

@pinkblankey @_sorrengailll I would like anyone at any level of law to explain how and why this kinda stuff is legal. Adjusting prices based on time of day, where you’re booking from, your BROWSERS CACHE. There’s just no way
English
@_sorrengailll another tip to remember, airlines jack up the prices when it comes to the demographic geolocation area you are using the internet to access an airlines sight. Your cheapest flights should be bought Tuesday, Wednesday, & Saturday early around 3-4am. Clear ur cache✨💅🏼✨

@JessicaNigri “Capitalism breeds innovation!”
The innovation:
English
i'm all for a lil treat here and there to numb the crippling void of existence but it's gotten to a point where this stuff is literally going straight into the trash and into the landfills. you cannot convince me people keep these things longer than a week or so. i'm on my knees begging for it to stop. we have to be more aware than this.

@bryanrbeal Ok but WHY? Because china=bad? What is your reasoning? You act like if we make shitty, inefficient, ineffective AI data centers, we win. Win what? Botching a new technology fastest? Enriching billionaires and tanking the economy quickly? What’s the trophy?
English
@TheNerdlit I mean, yeah, cuz they’re just trying to scavenge and here comes seal team 6 with purples spewing tacticals 😂 which is fine, to be clear, but why on earth try against that?
English
@bigwallace @mcsquared34 Remember when every tech company praised AI as the biggest thing ever, then Microsoft said their new OS update was written predominantly by AI, then they had to do damage control because the entire system failed because AI can’t code? How much do you think they’re paid?
English
@mcsquared34 I'll support it when they stop messing up my order. The latest mistake was Wendy's giving me 2 tenders when I ordered 4. That mistake demonstrates they aren't worth 15$
English
@VohnJARH @rai_gaia @scoutfreak I will defend myself only by saying that I was under the impression this was about a DIFFERENT game because I’d heard the same argument and OP was vague posting. I mostly maintain my argument but I agree that review needs to be taken with a huge slab of salt.
English
@thebeachyball @rai_gaia @scoutfreak The problem is review outlets gas these types of games as masterpieces, and they begin to sale more.
People saw IGN give it a 10/10, then realized it's barely interactive and decisions or failure don't matter, so it's not really even a game.
English
Being a game dev is funny because you can make a passion project, and a crowd that is not your target audience can review bomb your game and doom your studio
English
@OrevaZSN What they mean is “I may have to actually work instead of pretending to do shit in front of a computer all day, going on business-paid lunch outings, and making 100k a year.” Thats what they actually mean
English
@rai_gaia @scoutfreak I think it can still be a passion project with money. Hell, the fact that they DID spend so much with so little ROI kinda proves it was done with passion in mind rather than financial success, right? They made something they wanted to, knowing it had a small audience.
English
But it isn't a passion project is it. It's published by one of the wealthiest families on the planet. It spent likely hundreds of thousands on licensed music. It has press kits with cd players and headphones going to major outlets. If this is a passion project, Call of duty is Indie.
English
@TorstiNisula @Forrestening @K3nB3n By that logic, tariffs are just a slightly diluted version of embargo, and therefore the entire world would be justified in responding to the US act of war, right?
English
@Forrestening @K3nB3n Siege is an act of war. Trade embargo is just a slightly diluted version of siege.

@Blue_Collar_Dog @mikawilson777 @AriaALake @dqveed I like that you completely ignored the part where you need a physical address in order to rent, regardless of cost.

@dsquareddan @BellaBaddie__ Look, you’re partially right. But I’ve watched countless movies on numerous tvs, old and new, and it’s never been as drastic as nearly every major blockbuster from the last 10 years. There’s something going on in the mix, not just consumer audio know-how.
English
@BellaBaddie__ Lemme guess, you don’t have actual home theatre surround speakers and just listen from your built in tv speakers

@JustinAwesomo @dqveed “Hey I think this thing is messed up and we should change it because it hurts a lot of people.”
“Or you can just leave if you don’t like it, idiot. Why would you want to change something for everyone’s betterment when you can just flee and save yourself?”
?

@dqveed Yeah, I've been saying this for years. You hate it here, just fucking leave.

🇺🇸 BEN SHAPIRO: "If you're a young American who can't afford to live here, then maybe you shouldn't live here."
English
@Rampage150 @aemondfilms Yes! I guess it just comes down to whether or not the character would say something like that. I personally don’t hate the choice, but it remains to be seen how the movie will deal with it.
English
@thebeachyball @aemondfilms Okay fair enough.
But other than that, don't the other points I said besides Epic count?
English
have matt damon and christopher nolan even read the source material cause this is not the point at all, Odysseus’ enemies in this journey are NOT the gods???
DiscussingFilm@DiscussingFilm
Matt Damon as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's ‘THE ODYSSEY’. “No one can stand between me and home - not even the Gods.”
English
@Rampage150 @aemondfilms I love Epic but I recommend not using it as an argument for stuff like this because it takes some major creative liberties. Classicists would have a field day with the inaccuracies. It’s an adaptation, just like this movie is.
English
@aemondfilms Look at Epic, then look at who started the Trojan War, and then look at who got pissed off and sent him on a twelve year voyage for poking their sons eye and THEN tell me it's not the Gods
English
@EckhartsLadder This is a solid argument that makes sense in-fiction. It’s not that people can’t care about continuity, it’s that these are made up stories and humans make mistakes, and crazy fans will dig up some minor contradiction and lose their minds. This remedies that cleanly.
English
The amount of people angry at this is absolutely hilarious.
This is exactly what George Lucas, Pablo Hidalgo, and anyone who is not a nerd has said forever.
It's a big interconnected fictional universe told by different voices. Embrace it for what it is.
Star Wars Holocron@sw_holocron
Sam Witwer compares Star Wars canon to “campfire stories.” “Did Ahsoka Tano have blue lightsabers in the Siege of Mandalore, or were they green? Depends on which campfire you heard that story. Did Starkiller yank a Star Destroyer out of the sky, or did he mind trick the pilot? Well, depends on which campfire, who you were around when you heard the story, and who the teller of the story is.” (Source: comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/…)

@Tusharufo2 @Throrf You’re allowed to feel that way. I think that makes you a bad person. If you can’t make the sacrifice to save 10 BILLION lives, I don’t think you actually value life. You’ll die one day. You can do that without choosing to end 10 billion lives.
