I did that for mine too, but after I made a mistake he is now doing it himself. I cannot complain.

@buhtcheeks and what's wrong on that? When you retire, will you have enough money to sustain yourself? All bills? Not everyone had a job that paid enough to generate wealthy pension savings. And those jobs need to be done, too. How much does your cleaner get? Money also devalue over time. So current pensioners get support at the current earnings value. I see it pretty fair, as long as the population is able to sustain itself, with enough people getting fair salaries and taxes or social security are paid adequately to the earnings. Pushing wages of the majority workers down while giving massive tax breaks to the rich is creating a black hole in public finances.

Food poisoning is still a thing, though.

Why is it?

Re GF and presents. Get married, man. Me and my other half keep saying to each other we don't want anything, we buy stuff we want whenever the need comes, all throughout the year. We eventually give each other some present, but we don't exlect anything. And I forbade him from buying me flowers, that is always a mess I need to clear afterwards. No chocolates, I don't enjoy it. No jewellry, I don't wear any except over 25 yo necklace and earrings having a permanent residence in the holes. But I fix my computers and have been buying stuff for them this year. He literally has nothing special to buy to me. And I don't expect anything. The house is full of stuff. Wardrobes full, shoe cabinet full, kitxhen has it all we need and use... and the best holiday is chillin out at home, having the need to go anywhere.

I have heard a Christian complaining how MAGA wants to interact with Dems, but Dems refuse to have anything to do with MAGA. Like political opinion is harmless... well... until your chick is refused a life saving pregnancy termination for some ideological laws... or generally loses control over her own body. This is why sane people refuse to deal with those pro life loonatics who only care about the child in someone else's body but once the child is out (sometimes out of the child's body), it is none of their business and the new mother is in it alone. No child support, no less working hours, no subsidies for childcare... nothing. Hard capitalism and it is the woman (or girl) guilty of having the child. They both can go homeless... none of their worry.

That burger is deprived of moisture, old known fact. It could stay there for further 76 years. Dry crackers will also last forever, max going stale. My regular fizz is half of effervescent tab in 300ml water, sugar free.

@buhtcheeks What if you were disabled and unable to work? At all, ever? Solidarity... is America a Christian nation or what? Feed the poor, clothe the naked. That money is running low thank to Reagan and all his successors. Taxing the wealth and CEOs having 10x the salary, not 4000x of the workers while syphoning money offshore to avoid paying taxes, meant a middle class was able to afford home on just one income and wife staying home with kids.

@Habibi_exe once again: thank Reagan and co. And I doubt Trump is going to help you out. Besides, even your savings aren't secure anymore. Anytime a company can go under and so go your savings or pension funds. Nobody guarantees anything anymore. Enjoy it while you can.

@Habibi_exe was it for me? I am glad you sleep sound trusting the authorities.

@Bugginout79 I like your optimism. Just not everybody has a potential to put aside as much money, either not earning as much, or havin greater expenses (like, you know, having kids, future tax payers), or fell sick and couldn't earn so much for 35 years, or inflation caused by greedy businesses, that ate into your money over time... there are far more people like that than you can imagine. And they also deserve to live, often contributing to society many other means... we don't kick them to the kerb because they haven't been in a well paying jobs all their working lives and they haven't been lucky with plentiful savings for their retirement. After all, we are humans living in a society, that historically thrived when taking care of each other, not applying a jungle like mentality, me, me, me and F them all.

@jessecortez9449 Repeat after me: Social Security. It is not your investment into yourself. It is an investment of the society into itself, on the whole, so people didn't die from hunger or cold (in theory), that they had something to fall on in hard times, that the society remains functional. Have you ever put yourself into their shoes? I guess not, every one of you bitching how you were robbed by the government. We all have one stomach and need one roof over our head. We use services paid by taxes, insurance, other fees of other people from before birth when we haven't earned a dime yet, and alike for the next many years until we get the fist job. We live in an enclosed ecosystem where those earning more contribute more (in theory) and those just getting by, for whatever reason, contribute less. What a bunch of myopic selfish folks around. And they make it to the hig politics and screw everyone else with this mentality.

@Bugginout79 And by put aside I meant exactly the savings, not social security. Guys, I am not surprised America is where it is today with these attitudes. While during the pandemic the govt was flooding the economy with money (so we didn't count more bodies on the road side due to hardship and lay-offs), overall throughout the history profit was the main driver for inflation. By making profit, you literally make up money, especially the banking sector. The 2% inflation is considered a sweet spot, not too much, not too little. Who makes profit if not businesses? State doesn't inherently need to make profit, they need at least balance income with output. Govt will only pump money into the system when there is need, not by default.

Joe Rogan - I wonder which one he think he is... for streaming how we are triggering WW3 by helping Ukraine defending itself... Giving them the American old ammo and equipment is the best investment the US can do for international security right now. They don't need to send a single troop to the frontline. The cheapest war against RuSSia we can imagine. And this idiot will attack the victim of this crime? Let the dictator win and in 5 to 10 year you will need to send the troops to the frontline. Because he has a plan. And patience. By annexing Donbas and Crimea in 2014 he was just testing the waters.

Hearing Americans complaining about inflation...folks, go to RuSSia. Interest rate 21% now, possibly going to 23 or oeven 25 in December... and it will get worse. Stop wasting money on takeaways, lip fillers and manicures, cheap crap from Temu... buy things that last and take control over your eating habits. You might not be able to buy a house anytime soon, but being debt free is a win of its own. I don't remember when I bought a cup of coffee, always making my own, for pennies. Eating out? Not every week, neither every month. Cooking at home or having ready meals for work. The most expensive I fork out for is £3, usually less. Hearing folks bitching that Mac costs them £20... LMAO. Haven't been there for years either, neither when fries were for £1 or something. Junk.

The old lady tapping the parking sign was probably very keen adopting new technology, despite she didn't understand much of it, otherwise she would refuse participating in it. The fast pace of tech advances is too much for ageing brains. And people prefer to stick to familiar things. I stick to AI free tech, leaving Windows and switching to Linux, via using AI, to help me out. But for everyday use I want to be in control of my system, not the AI. I use web mostly via a browser, not apps, better control over it. I walk the street paying attention around me, not looking into the phone all the time. I still read books and play cds, tapes, some vinyls... heading to 50 in a couple years. And I cook, not wasting money on delivery apps and services. I do basic maths and percentages in the shops in my head to make sure I am getting a better deal. Use it or lose it: muscles as well as brain cells.
