  • People hear socialism and immediately think Stalin, that’s one problem. Another problem is thinking having a capitalistic system and socialist services are somehow necesarily mutually exclusive.

    Capitalism works fine in some area’s. Socialism is needed where it won’t. Healthcare is a case in point. Everybody needs it when they need it, so there’s really no reason to leave that shit to any “market” and therefore chance. Investments in public transport, taking care of the livability at the bottom end of the economic ladder are other examples.

    Capitalism is dogshit whenever you have deal with things you just can’t, or morally shouldn’t, attach an ROI to.


  • I get it but I highly doubt most people actually do these expensive lunches daily. This is also not strictly speaking what is the text of the OP, assuming the text is correct he’s questioning people getting a 28 dollar lunch full stop.

    Also, food is 1/3rd of the things that keep you alive and healthy. Food taking up a large part of your money really isn’t that wild. Things like rent taxes and utilities taking up more than half, that is wild, and really the only reason why 28 dollar lunches could be considered questionable on that income.

    The world is also just what it is, incomes have been trailing behind inflation for a long time now. Because of these same people. I’m a cheapskate but I can’t get my groceries under 150~200 a week for just myself and my wife. Not without sacrificing health at least, the only way to get cheaper is taking a deep dive into canned and/or highly processed food, but that just isn’t happening.


  • People that can impulse buy outragiously expensive watches and cars shouldn’t be lecturing the plebs on what to splurge on.

    Especially not food. Food is one of last big joys of life. Any splurge here is entirely valid.

    These people need to stop getting platformed. If you’re in such a position, please just enjoy your privilege in silence and leave us the fuck alone.









  • In simpler terms you need to have an entirely dedicated isolated system to play these games on, at which point the economical option is undoubtedly just to buy the damn game…

    Computers not connected to the internet are almost entirely useless for anything else, and computers that are connected to the internet are inevitably logged into to services, and being logged in to something automatically means there’s personal data on it. If only credentials and authentication cookies.

    Just stay away from this. Get a console of Denuvo freaks you out, or just stay away from these games untill they patch denuvo out, like you should anyway. The only reason they keep using Denuvo is that they aren’t adequately punished for doing so. Gamers are notoriously bad at voting with their wallet.



  • Meanwhile these same cunts spend more time on the golf course and on random yachts than most people do in their own home, also under the guise of “(net)working” obviously, while at the same time mandating a full return to office for the grunts.

    Flexibility is a two way street. You want me to be invested in the work in the company, stop posting linkedin stories and find ways to make exactly that actually enticing.




  • I wish this ban was in effect when my stupid cunt of an adolescent brain thought starting smoking would be a good idea.

    And also this freedom to increase your chances of lung cancer for litterally no reason at all doesn’t only affect the smoker, but everybody in the general area of said smoker. What about their freedom to breathe clean air.

    The world changes, handle it. Older generations took away younger generation’s freedom to have a perspective on any kind of affordable housing.

    I don’t think taking away their freedom to make an objectively dumb and pointless choice for their health and finances moves the needle on the scale of problems we are facing.
