Lol this was funny AND educational! Although reading it as comment instead of being stuck in that actual class probably helped.

That was your “quarter-life crisis”. Don’t worry your mid-life crisis is still on its way :D

Correct. IIRC there’s an auto mechanism that will cut all benefits by 23% or something. So you’re mom/dad getting $2,000 a month would now only get about $1,500.

Thank you for posting this. I feel the same way but I’m not sure what to do about it :/ I already try to spend as little as possible. I’ve thought about trying to make a vegetable garden cuz in a way it’s free food but just haven’t :/

I wonder what will happen when they squeeze so hard nobody has anything left? How will they stay in business when nobody has money? Do they think every other company will go out of business but they’ll be fine? What do they think the end game will be?

Just a little fucksy wucksy :3

Why not give people actual hope for the future if that’s the problem?

Damn am i the only one who uses Connect? Lol

Pray they don’t alter it any further

Funny how whenever literal nazis gather and protest cops are nowhere to be found

It was either that or they start charging. They’re gonna piss people of either way but at least it’s still free.

Great ad I saw recently was a Charlie Day Mt Dew commercial. He said one word and a Mt Dew sign dropped over him and he yelled in his Charlie Day voice, “Hey I didn’t even take a drink yet!” And that was the commercial.

Short. Sweet. Funny.

“28% more clicks” Yeah cuz ppl thought they were actual posts not ads lol

Honestly. How do they still have customers?? Are the majority of consumers just accepting this?

Lol talk more shit about things I never said loser

Everyone talks about what the “best” system is but none have adequately solved the human corruption problem. Every system eventually falls due to human corruption imo. The US founders were on to something by trying to break up power and have each group kept I’m check but that too is failing.

Stop trying to fix the symptoms.

Life

After WW2 almost every other developed nation was in ruin. The US was “the only game in town” when it came to production. This caused US labor to be in high demand and priced at a premium compared to places like in Europe or Japan, who were more concerned about rebuilding than exporting goods.

THIS is how a high school dropout could afford a house and a family. Because that high school dropout was basically your only option for labor. As those other countries finished rebuilding a lot manufacturing jobs left and things started to get “back to normal”.

The US was in a unique position but like most things it was just squandered. Now the US is “regressing towards the mean”. This is going to be the new normal because the last 40-50 years was an exception.

I’ve tried to argue a company that made $800k profit this year even tho they made $900k last year is still a profitable business and people unironically argue that company is dying and bad…

If ppl are too dumb to learn this lesson it’s on them. It won’t stop other indie developers from making great games.

Gee I wonder if record high home prices/mortgages has something to do with record high debt payments.
