Have you tried just making more money?

Jeez, you poors are just so lazy.

(I really wish this weren’t needed, but I think it is) \s

Lol, would love to hear why on earth this is downvoted - guess we’re in full on reddit mode and just downvoting everything that isn’t exactly what I think lol

Yeah it was odd to read that description being presented as an oddity - that sounds like most households I know. If you have a wife, kids, or roommate and don’t enjoy being holed up in your own room the whole time you play (and those sharing your house don’t just want to watch you game all night) then in house streaming is a huge boon.

I PC game, but most of my gaming is done on the couch, streamed onto my phone. I’ve been very tempted to buy a dedicated streaming device lately to avoid draining my phone battery while playing

Right… and no generation since has ever seen the value of owning property, right? Lol.

Are you under the impression that modern renters are choosing to rent instead of own?

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck making saving for a down payment impossible for over half the country, and with rates being what they are, mortgages are expensive af.

People are renting because it’s the only way to live, not because they think it’s neat. People are getting upset at you not because you’re pointing out that rent is a scam, but because you’re implying it’s the fault of the victims

I'm not saying he's a nobody, but it's not exactly downvote worthy to not know him lol, I'll bet there are plenty of people I'd consider well know that you're not familiar with too 🤷🏼‍♂️

I doubt they even hope the judge will agree, they're just doing it for the sake of his base. It's been his prime defense the whole time - the fact that it's bullshit doesn't matter, because as far as his base is concerned, if Trump said it, it's true

Internet comments aren't interested in logic if they can dunk on a group they don't like lol

Why is this downvoted lol

Is it bad to not know every artist now?

This is 100% it, there's already so much "bad" footage out there that no one is going to change their mind about jan 6 if more comes to light. But they're hoping to find a few clips that make it look good that they can play on a loop on fox News

In what sense is modern China a communist country?

It's insane how normalized it is that the leaders of our country work half the year while pulling in salaries (and I'm just talking about their actual salaries, not the millions they make from shady shit)

Meanwhile most of them would scoff and call you naive if you advocated for a 4 day work week

Thanks for the suggestion, but pass - it'll just make me mad at both of them for no reason. I don't need insight on their ego, I already know they're both narcissistic pieces of shit who think they're saving the world as they burn it down

they have the power and wealth to affect a lot of day to day life regardless if you're ignoring it or not.

This is true, but my opinion of both of them is already rock bottom, so why spend time listening to something that's just going to make me frustrated, while not actually giving me any new info?

How would you know? You don't actually understand the code. It could be making shit up, and you'd never have any idea

Seriously dude, if you run into code you don't understand, take the time to actually understand it, or else you'll never actually improve

One thing to keep in mind is to think about what kind of person actually participates in polls, and how that type of person will tend to lean politically (hint, old retired people)

That being said, fascism has happened continuously all throughout history for a reason. people like it when they think it's on "their side". A lot of conservative voters genuinely think America would be a better place if the democratic party was forcibly eliminated, and so they're not only fine with what Trump is saying, they're enthusiastic about it.

Combine the human tendency for populism with decades of conditioning from outlets like Fox News that conservatives are the only "real Americans" and that the "radical left" is hell bent on destroying their lives, raping babies, and turning their sons into daughters, and you have a large population of voters who genuinely think that democracy is bad if it means "the other side" gets to win.

Many Fascist movements start out with enthusiastic support from at least a large chunk of their population (Hitler was elected), by the time people realize that fascism only ever actually benefits those at the top, it's too late

Was going to comment the same thing - you could even grab some extra keycaps to label em properly

Because when supply chains got fucked up during COVID, they raised their prices for legitimate reasons, and found to their delight that people kept on buying, and In fact, because people were panic shopping, and stuck at home bored, they actually bought more.

So when things calmed down, instead of lowering prices, they continued to rise. because if they didn't, they'd be making less profit than last quarter (which is unacceptable)

Combine that with the wage stagnation that's been going on for decades and a housing shortage and you now have an economy where people can't afford rent, food, or basic goods

I'm terrified for our next junior dev hire if this is common among beginners now lol

Yeah that's how I read it

Wait, what is this about fentanyl having "anti cop effects" - somehow I missed this conspiracy theory lol
