Retirement math would be pretty dreary if you have to pay rent.
lOl. The worth of my assets and all my accounts is about $13,000 and that includes my 401k and I have been working for more than a decade and rent.
I’m a weirdo but also I know that I’m also completely average for level of fucked.

Dude we have shockingly similar overarching stories but my HR manager firing was for costing the company I work for 10s of thousands of dollars for not having the right visa to work in china and getting stuck in south korea for weeks due to the easter holiday making it so they forgot where they left me until I got ahold of someone again.
My retirement plan is skydiving.

as long as I
Oof, and everyone else too it seems.

That’s fair, me too.

I think they would certainly try if they could pay for the exclusivity.
Just got to bring back Tithes.

- Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 1 day ago:
And yet most of the comments in here are talking about doctors appointments and going out for dinner. I am confusing it but it seems I’m not alone in that.
We are not in the right crowd to organize a strike, which would be better with actual business owners involved, but I understand we should get what we can.
Why is it so bad to take an honest look at what we are trying to accomplish and our methodology? I thought Lemmy liked science and actual data. I’m peer reviewing this so we can adjust the methodology and try to focus better.
I want to succeed I am just not gonna pretend we get there without effort. - Comment on Tesla profit tanked 46% in 2025 | TechCrunch 1 day ago:
Top 10% of people own 90% of stocks 85% of all businesses, and half the real estate.
Yeah, it just became another form of currency to them to make number go up attached to their soul of course.

That is like the exact opposite of the thought you want to have in the shower.
Perfect. - Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 2 days ago:
I think you are ascribing a lot more importance to 10% than economists and capitalists do.
Nearly 60% of of day to day spending is by the top percentage of the wealthiest. I am trying to be a realist here. The bottom 60% of Americans make up about 20% of the spending, 10% participation would be about a 4% change in profit which recent Tariffs have been higher and more impactful.
It is not a good idea to keep purposefully missing while the enemy isn’t wasting their shots. Cause they are landing most of theirs. - Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change.

The problem with a “shot across the bow” is that to the enemy it can just look like you are missing and wasting ammo.

Don’t ask for a Superman. They don’t exist.
We do things as a community and a collective, its the only way it works. - Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 2 days ago:
Yes, and the people that think its a good idea to order something with same day delivery from amazon in a snow storm are probably the same ones that will ignore the call for a strike.
We have to ignore the outliers we can’t get, but we nees to understand that The System at large will ignore our outliers as well. A one day strike that has less impact than a storm physically blocking streets will be seen as an outlier.
Not a dig, but just a fact. - Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 2 days ago:
The winter storm that pushed people inside for 2 days has more impact than a single day purchase blackout.
If a country can shrug of massive storms and fires… I just don’t know what message this is actually supposed to send.
We seem to want instant gratification to work in the real world, we want a lack of suffering and to make it as quick and easy as possible.If you have an addiction you don’t lose it in a day. In Shawshank redemption, Andy Dufresne doesnt get to leave out the front door, he has to crawl through a river of shit to come out clean the other side.
We have a river of shit to wade through, I think we need to come to terms with that. - Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I mean… Does the mom know they are a terminally online shitposter? If they are a 4channer there is a non zero chance they are waiving all those flags unironically.

They just don’t make relatable children’s shows like they used to.

I think they thought this was rust.
I had a nonstick coated pan that looked like this… It was definitely time to throw it away and I keep having to wait for my prince in seasoned aluminum pan comes my way

Funny enough that is how you cure lactose intolerance.
- Comment on If tomato is a fruit then lasagna is a fruit tart. 2 weeks ago:
I think all tarts are pies but not all pies are tarts.
This is one of those fine line semantics that I do actually find interesting as to the cutoff. - Comment on If tomato is a fruit then lasagna is a fruit tart. 2 weeks ago:
Egg wash it. Crispy top
- Comment on If tomato is a fruit then lasagna is a fruit tart. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah crust on top. Its a pie.

This is so fucked, the comments are so fucked and I’m lying down because I laughed to hard.
- Comment on we need more users 2 weeks ago:
note how they ignore the large majority of what you say and hyper-focus exclusively on the talking points that they are trying to convey
Thats like 9 out of 10 debates on Lemmy regardless of community. Everyone thinks they are the exception.
- Comment on we need more users 2 weeks ago:
Yeah even reddit is fucked these days.
By the way note there is not always an easy way to find communities naturally so I would recommend thinking of some key words and searching for communities with them to fill in some niches

Every person that keeps saying it’s good that there is no one here sounds like scrooge in my head going,
“Good, all to decrease the surplus population” - Comment on Good cooking is a form of alchemy with equivalent exchange 2 weeks ago:
Yeah there is some real mercury to gold stuff out there.
I mean in a mercury to less toxic mercury example you can make a really interesting approximation of bone broth for tan tan by mixing chicken bouillon and oatmilk or regular milk and add it to sesame and chili paste and make an incredible soup.
But yeah. Its kinda like everyone’s possible real world magic

May thy liquid to solid transmutation work in your favor.
Also make sure you through some veggies in there sautéd with some spices even if its just onion and garlic.
- Comment on Good cooking is a form of alchemy with equivalent exchange 2 weeks ago:
Oh sure! You can totally mess something up terribly and it can steal parts of your life from you for doing the alchemy wrong. This is sorta aiming at the people that know how to perform at a basic level and up.
But honestly its also kinda alchemy to turn dinner into a charcoal briquette or a biological warfare item.

I wish I could do that but I need a special certificate… So I bring an extra phone that does basically the same.
