  1. Yeah, about that lol I had to leave at 23; they were beyond insane. Wish I could have done it sooner.

  2. Bad idea, tech is a massive bubble right now. It's over-valued by like 90%. It's because these companies are creating an illusion that this software is difficult to produce, when DeepSeek just revealed they can do it for like 2% the price.

  3. Not changed; rather become dysfunctional. I will never understand how people call (not being able to talk to people) a 'generational thing' lol. Sounds like a 'end of human civilization' thing lol.

  4. I've always dreamed abut getting all those free things on an island. Speaking of which, Florida has thousands of islands around the everglades. Free sunshine, free health, free food, and free shelter that you assemble yourself :)

  6. Yeah, yet we haven't been able to modernize the IRS since 1997?

  7. Middle and upper class people will never understand the food-stamps situation unless you've seen it first hand. Foodstamps are essentially big corporations lobbying government for addition profit margins; nothing else. It's an insanely bad incentive too because it promotes unhealthier diets and sedentary lifestyles. A lot of you don't realize that individuals and couples on welfare getting the equivalent of a $20/hr full time job in payments. (Watch people) and observe any major grocer between the 1st and 5th of each month and you will see what I'm talking about. Overweight women rush to the stores in order to pillage hotdogs, sodas, tv dinners, and brand name garbage. It will literally be falling out of their carts when they go to check-out. They are some of the meanest people I have ever encountered. Believe me, they are not suffering and they are not falling on hard times. They are USING the system and taking advantage of the bad incentives.

  8. Same! I threw out the deoderant and shampoo years ago. I just use a home-made bar of soap.

  9. Yep, same! I actually took up a single cup of coffee each day and it actually killed all my urges for tobacco, alcohol, and binge eating. I've lost a lot of weight doing it as well.

  10. Jobs don't get deleted because of expanding technology. They get deleted because a number of companies are gate-keeping the patented software and claiming that it's unique to the survival of the system. Competition drives mass innovation and good wages. Stop letting a handful of companies form an oligarchy and use government against you lol

  11.  @Rudolf215  Take back what? I honestly don't think people have any idea what is going to happen if they topple the existing system. Trading corruption for truth and decentralization will unfortunately create disaster. It's because a large amount of the population has to live in a constant state of psychosis; otherwise they will malfunction and destroy everything. We live in a global world; meaning that the resources, wealth, and power will condense into smaller and smaller hands. It's mathematically inevitable. The only other way is to return to a tribal era where everyone associates with their group and constantly works or fights with others. Either way, the standard of living would plummet and billions would die of natural selection. People don't understand what they're asking for.

  12. Actually, none of these corporations would be able to exist without the Federal Government. Patents, deductions, tax deferments, and of the course the FDA; all to gate-keep their profits and steer away competitors.

  13. It's a result of mass complacency due to inequalities run amuck. Everything is sideways and right is wrong. This is what happens when you create a global economy on the backs of war veterans that allow grand-children to indulge in stupidity. It will all self correct though in a century or less.

  14. People are broke because they're trying to live middle class lives on 100k of student loans. If you have no student debt; life is extremely easy. Regardless of inflation since 2020.

  17.  @kosh9639  Wages are inflationary by nature. If you enforce wages that are not suitable to the market; you ultimately drive up prices and stifle supply chains. What needs to happen is lending laws need to be tightened and demand needs to be curved so that supply can catch up. When debt (demand) outperforms GDP; prices rise and wages stagnate. If the only goal is to raise wages; all you'll do is destroy jobs and raise prices.

  18.  @joec5544g  It's not really supply and demand unfortunately; not in the way most people think. Covid crashed more than half of small businesses nationwide. Now mega-corporations are using the latest algorithms to cheat wages and manipulate prices. It's all about speculation now; even the grocery stores are doing it. All those corporations now have immense sway over wages and prices because all their competitors went out of business. Kroger updated their sale placards; red for card, orange for coupon, blue for bulk. Now they're all red; so customers get cheated at the checkout thinking that things are on sale with the member card.

  19. The country has been going downhill largely since 2008. Don't sweat it, I think it's just a collapse phase; all civilizations have them. I'm actually looking forward to the next civilization; everyone should. Try not to get caught up in doom and gloom. Personally, the next big shift will probably be in 2029 I'd imagine; then again in 2032. It's largely debt based. Pump/dump schemes with monetary police to hold up the weight of the failing system.

  21. It's not the labor exactly, apprenticeships are rough; $25k or less in most states for 4-5 years. That's a lot of time to not be maximizing your earnings. Plus, skilled trades typically max out around $70k unless you go into business for yourself.

  22. I wish it were JUST the processed foods. If you have an artificially scented candle in your house; neurotoxins are flying around in the room and being absorbed thru your lungs and breaching the blood-brain barrier. US items are considerably more dangerous than people think. Chances are that most people have applied at least 100 different carcinogens to their body in a single day. Get rid of your soaps, shampoos, deodorant, candles, everything.

  26. I'm not saying 8 million illegals in 4 years is good, but I assure you (the US was a dumpster before they came here). I imagine most will be going back once they realize how big of a scam this is lol

  30.  @CasanovaPugilist147  Believe it or not; it's estimated that roughly 8-10%% of women between 18 and 40 have an Onlyfans account. If you break it down by accounts, sex by user, and demographics; it's entirely plausible. Not good imo if a significant amount of your population are soon to be single-moms and/or single for life.

  31. It's all natural selection. People can enjoy their lives to whatever avail. However, the people that use the internet effectively, manage wealth well, and have children will carry on. If you're doom scrolling and looking at a screen 8 hours a day; stop now or you'll be apart of the de-evolution phase lol

  32.  @Dinosaursof  I'm not trying to demean your experience, but there are several glaring holes in your statements. Your mortgage went up $250 last year because of equity? That doesn't make any sense. It sounds like you have a 5/1 variable rate loan. Unless you mean your property taxes and insurance are escrowed into mortgage? If that was the case, you'd be making the claim that your insurance and property taxes went up roughly $4200 since 2023? Which means you probably live way above your means or in a very high demand area with high risk (like coastal Florida?) Second, what do you mean by (high risk pregnancy?) My wife and I have gone thru two ectopic pregnancies and a surgery to remove her fallopian tube. None of that require expensive visits to the hospital. Unless there is some kind of rare situation that required you seeing an OBGYN twice a week? What are they doing that warrants such cost or time? You can pay places like Ultrasona $125 to do a full ultrasound and MD review of your pregnancy without going into a hospital. That's how we found out she had a ectopic pregnancy at 6 weeks. The rest was done at the hospital in a day. I assume you meant, your dad lost 'his' house. So he defaulted on the mortgage? How did that happen in a sellers market since 2020 and why did you take on the responsibility of buying him a new home while you're about to be a father yourself? If it was from a disaster or fire; did insurance not cover it? Again, I'm not trying to rude, but your story just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

  34.  @Tailormademan900  In all honest man; it's all about gaining assets and learning skills. Live way below your means and pay cash for land and other assets. If you have no bills; then there's no need to constantly worry about a paycheck. Having the skill of fixing up cars is monumental. I'm pretty good with vehicles, but some scrap-pro bought by wrecked car for $1500; turned it around all by himself. All the internals needed replaced because they were smashed. I just didn't have the time or ambition to deal with it at that point. Go looking for usable vehicles in the local-scrap yard; you'd be surprised.

  36. Yeah, it's actually crazy how much of modern Christmas celebrations were socially-pushed thru corporate marketing. I mean, Santa Claus is red and white because Coca-Cola wanted him to represent their colors in the 1930s.

  38.  @benstandard  Don't blame capitalism; blame the central banks and Keynesian economy. In 1950 we exported 95% of global autos. Now we only export dollars. It's amazing that the US Dollar can purchase as much as it does these days. If GDP takes a nose-dive and debt is cheap; prices rise and wages stagnate.

  39. Yep! Even if the job pays high income; most people will want to kill themselves within a year. The debt is never worth it.

  42. Blame the high schools and colleges. They were literally peddling six figure salaries for most college jobs when I was in school; back in 2012. I remember this girl getting so excited to be an RN because they college promised her a $98,000 salary.

  43. They don't, I'm 31 and it's a blessing. It gave me growth in ways I never thought possible. Being single all your life isn't what people think it is. I hope you find joy in maybe being an uncle or chaperone perhaps :) It's also never too late; you're still young.

  44.  @Latour6182  How is that ridiculous? You can't derive the same metabolic function from every calorie. This has been studied in rats and you get different body weight results with different items of the same caloric value.

  45. It all comes down to currency devaluation. Demographics are crushing people because Social Security and Pensions are asset bubbles that require devaluation to maintain; just wait until the 2030s (it will ramp up bad!) On the wage side, wages don't keep up with inflation because demand is outperforming supply. As long as debt (demand) outperforms the current GDP; wages will stagnate. Don't blame economics, blame the idiots propping up the system with government. None of this would be happening without government creating all of these asset bubbles (student loan bubble as well).

  46.  @itstheiceman11  Who said I wasn't planning for my future or taking action? Seems like unnecessary gaslighting if you ask me. I empathize with younger generations; plain and simple. Not exactly, home rates fluctuate according to the interest rates set by the Federal Reserve and Board of Governors. Home prices go down when there are more sellers than buyers. If you're not enrolled in FERS-FRAE post 2014; you will not receive full compensation until 30 years of service at 1.0-1.1%. You cannot retire on a full pension plan with 20 years of service. I actually really wanted to work for USPS some time ago before I realized their retirement tiers system. The guys that were enrolled before 1987 under FER-8 got those 20 year full retirement pension programs. It's a thing of the past now.

  47.  @user-ue4he3li8b  Hair-cuts were about every 2 months and I cut my nails every month. Plus, I shaved once a week. Now I get a haircut every 5 weeks, cut my nails every two weeks, and shave every 2nd or 3rd day. Plus, I haven't changed my haircuts or routines in the past decade. Also, off topic, but many people are allergic or intolerant to eggs/dairy. Had no idea I was until I cut them out completely. They caused a lot of brain fog, energy disruption, and mood swings. Plus, cut out the industry bread. At home organic baking is alright and doesn't bloat me. It's amazing what will happen once you cut out the chemicals and food intolerances.

  48.  @pabloescobarschanclas  Well, with all due respect; what are you aiming at in life if you think children are a waste of time? This seems like the perspective of a very young person. Eventually your parents die and your friends rotate out of your life stage. Not having parents and kids after 35-40 is not an easy life. Friends only stay attached so long as they have something in common with you. Once they don't; it naturally gets awkward. When you're young, friends seem like an easy commodity; until they aren't.
