Not so much angry, but fed up of listening to people cry about not being able to afford food while spending more on luxuries then my entire income.
At least that was the case a few years ago. I earn more now. Then again I do remember a guy who was pushing 6 figures complaining about stuff like that once in an audience. The audience quickly turned once they heard how much he was on. So perhaps it could still happen now even though I am on £29k.
£500/month car payments, £80/month phone, £125/month TV/streaming, £250/month takeaways.
Is this really just a treat? You could buy a house with that kind of money. I know real people with monthly expenses like that and justify it as a treat for themselves. Other than takeaways they are all used as endless subscriptions, when the car or phone is at the end of its payment period they get another one.
Years ago when the cost of living became a popular talking point, it started to be something the middle class noticed. I remember seeing people on the news crying that they couldn’t afford food - while earning 4x my income at the time.
Middle class, don’t even know how to be poor properly.
Come over here and I will show you. Don’t trip on the BBQ…
I have no idea who either of these people are
Limewire is why I learnt to use Linux through necessity.
Interesting, never used any of those
I will be taking them here. If you don’t want me to I will consider your request.
Pretty sure calyx doesn’t use google stuff so it should be fine, I presumably don’t have it and don’t want it.
Wtf is play integrity and should I care if I use CalyxOS?
Maybe not directly. 5080 owner upgrades to 6090, 3060 owner buys the cheaper 5080 as a pretty nice upgrade and sells off their 3060.
If you factor in inflation, I can find a 5060 for about 30% more than I got a 1060 for when that was new. You will get far more than a 30% boost in performance.
Does this work on the funny android smart TV versions of vlc? The layout is so different to what I am used to on my PC.
I already cook dinner every day and have to work full time. So this sounds like an improvement to me! The extra time would probably help add more to each meal though.
Wouldn’t take a multimillion job either. £100k would be more than we earn between the 2 of us currently.
Tbh it sounds like a nice filter. People who judge are ones I wouldn’t want to be around.
Are they not saving on cocoa enough already? I can buy solid 70-90% chocolate for less per weight than a Mars bar. They also get to cheap out on all the filling of it being sugar.
Things are great, but I live in the UK where minimum wage is high, food is cheap and I couldn’t afford to learn to drive in my teens/early 20s so I don’t need fuel!
Housing is painful, but at least inflation is reducing the number of hours I need to work to cover my mortgage payments each year. Very approximated, my monthly housing costs each year since I bought would be 105, 95, 87, 81, 78 hours of work to pay for at minimum wage. I would love to see house prices continue to stagnate so that buying a house gets easier with inflation dropping their price relative to wages.
Never had a job where coworkers didn’t know my income.
Y2K also didn’t really result in anything because it was a fixable problem that got acted upon. Most of us would have been in school around that time too.
Also don’t really see the problem with 9/11, surely the vast majority of people wouldn’t have been involved in any way or known anyone who was? Of course its a bigger issue for those that were, but it seems odd to stick it in as a generational experience. I didn’t even hear about it until a day or two later when it happened to be on the news before school.
