Good thing I can avoid all those junk fees and get a better place to stay by going through AirBnB, right guys?.. right?

Dollar General is cancer. Their prices are no better than somewhere like Walmart, the only “good” thing is the convenience, I feel like I can’t drive ten minutes without passing one

🤏🎻

I don’t feel bad for these people

pity Olympics

If 40% of your income every month is being vaporized into nonequitable housing, you’re probably broke. You being taken advantage of even more than most people doesn’t make them “not broke” and that reply makes you frankly come across as a jaded cynic more than anything.

“Okay I cut back on the SODAS and AVACADO TOAST and CONCERT TICKETS(!) and now I’m saving $76/month. Any tips on rent taking up 40% of my income?”

you’re just bad at managing money.

No, this country is bad at paying people.

It’s a shame that even in a place like San Francisco, it’s apparently impossible to enact rent control.

It wasn’t until very recently that SF became synonymous with progressive politics like it is today. For most of the 20th century, it was a highly conservative, “rich people,” city. That kind of embedded wealth doesn’t just go away within a few decades, SF is still pretty conservative at its core.

Put it on credit. That’s what we’re supposed to be doing for the things we can’t afford, right?

I wonder what the impact of weight loss drugs will be once they hit the mainstream. Those things are just normal (but very effective) appetite suppressants. Combine 20+ years of bad PR with a real way for people to curb their very real psychological addictions to fast food and I can actually see a future where we look back on today’s fast food like we do to whatever the fuck the 1970s thought about jell-o

Who said anything about war? It’s far too late to take back the billions of dollars of offensive “aid” we’ve given to Israel, but it’s not too late to give their neighbors (Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, etc.) the tools and training they need to defend themselves.

The US is an Israeli-controlled state. Stopping arms shipments to them isn’t enough, we need to start arming Palestine, Iran, etc. and make right on decades of anti-brown racism and Western imperialism.

Remember, when they said “Never again,” they just meant “Never again shall antisemitism be tolerated.” They do not care at all about ethnic cleansings and outright celebrate the ones that protect this ideology.

Almost every western government feels guilt over the Holocaust that they’ve all bent over to protect the Israeli state against anything that could even be interpreted as possibly, maybe, being antisemitism.

From the American fascists, yes. The US has always cozied up to foreign dictators over legitimate democracies. It’s much easier to exercise your will on a country when you know it’s only being run by a handful of individuals.

Fuck. Sotheby’s.

Selling things that aren’t theirs since 1744.

I agree. Which is why things like this are so much worse

Humiliation ritual. That person is branded forever as being courier for Amazon.

Okay but did you know that they were brown people? Checkmate liberals

Ban corporations from buying single family homes. Full stop, this should have never been allowed to have happened. Eminent domain every rental house and sell at auction to first-time homebuyers only. Then go after the landlords who are charging $2k per month for apartments that are 40 years old and entirely paid off.

Haha woah buddy, you’re asking some sensitive questions there

Beautiful 😍

This isnt a new class war, you’re just describing the same exact class war that’s existed for all of modern history; class isn’t a disciplining of age, gender, race, etc., only wealth. A “wealth gap between millenials” is neither new nor anomalous.

System specs? What GPU are you running right now and what’s your budget for an upgrade? I was able to run my Index at medium settings off my 1080 a couple years ago. Haven’t even touched my headset since upgrading to a 3090 this year though

Reminder that the FDA is the state mechanism to protect the wealth of the pharmaceutical giants. The very few times they (the FDA) actually facilitate improvements in medicine/health are only as a side effect of that mission and are completely incidental.

golden job market

Lmao

This is just capitalism working as intended. The fact that these price increases are being sold as some kind of abnormality is some real neolib brain in action. It isn’t “greedflation,” it’s literally the same capitalism we’ve lived with for centuries.

We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas

This is exactly what they do to social movements that threaten their bottom line.

Social media has put a new spin on keeping up with the Joneses.

Exposure to glorified lifestyles online has left many people, especially young adults, feeling financially inadequate, even if they’re doing relatively well, reports show.

This is a complete mockery of what dysphoria means to people . They know exactly what they’re doing by watering down and purposefully misusing “dysphoria” to mean “oh you’re actually doing great why are you so sad?” It’s sadistic.

Kind of like how dealers give your first few hits for free,fast food companies spent the past two decades getting people addicted to cheap fried foods. Now that the overwhelming majority of people are addicted, they can charge whatever they want.

This doesn’t really seem like OOTL and more like “I need someone to Google this for me.” I usually hate snarky answers like the one I’m writing right now, but come on.

Number of Days Since Wealth was Supposed to Trickle Down

15372

And $250k buys you half a condo in a town where houses were $220k five years ago.

B-but lemmy told me that things were actually great ny every metric and that people’s anxieties is misinformation to get trump back in office

Maybe my parents will die soon and I can take over their mortgage

Glad to see that the MoBo and CPU should pair without fault for the 3090. Truthfully I haven’t refreshed myself on hardware jargon since I built my PC around 2018.

you will need more RAM

That was a complete typo on my part, I meant to put x4 8GB for 32GB total.

PSU was expected, upgrading to a GPU that maxes 350W on its own. Will probably be looking into a 1000W unit on your recommendation, just for future proofing

Pinkerton is good but it’s pretty much just “Weezer does the Pixies.” Listening to Doolittle and Bossanova ruined so many 90s albums for me

“Weezer is a shitty corporate sell-out band” hasn’t been breaking news in like three decades. Their music video for Buddy Holly came on the Windows 95 installation disc for God’s sake

I reserved one when they were first announced, but by the time my unit was ready to purchase, it no longer appealed much to me. I spend maybe 5 hours a month gaming since I graduated from uni, so I suspect it would be sitting right next to my Index, which I also have touched in well over a year. Still, I’m glad to see that so many people are enjoying it

I’m not super big in horror games. I think the genre doesn’t really lend itself to content longer than a few hours and way too many developers think “difficult=scary” which makes horror games pretty frustrating for me. That being said, I played The Iron Lung a few months ago and really enjoyed it. Short, cheap, with a crazy unique setting and game play mechanics. It’s worth a shot if you’ve got a few bucks and an hour or two to kill.
