now in new flavors!

  • high interest mortgage
  • medical debt
  • childcare costs
  • cost-of-living increases

If you work really hard, maybe you can fly 90 of your best rich buds to your wedding to a plastic bimbo in Venice too!

God, I hate the taste of that drink

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 13 points 1 day ago

It should be illegal if you ask me, at least past a certain amount

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

I'd like to be the one preparing that drink for once. Do nothing and get paid sounds great.

yeah, ain't no way I'm working for 30 years. I don't know what I'll do but it's not working.

Save up your money and then move to a low CoL country that’s friendly to foreigners.

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

Oh yeah, I don't plan to spend my savings on 2k rent a month

[–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 14 hours ago

I hope your country provides good social support and/or that your bets and investments come good

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

~~30~~ yeah try 50, muchacho. or do you live somewhere sane or something?

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, hard pass on that. I think I'd retire early and then jump off a bridge once the funds run out.

[–] ChidiAnagonye@infosec.pub 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I don't even know how you'd find a bridge that actually guarantee death. I mean, I could (hypothetically) shoot up a police station and death by cop is more guaranteed death isn't it. Way better than just yeeting myself off a bridge. Pigs gotta pay lmao.

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 3 points 17 hours ago

holy damn that's based. I want on whatever watchlist they put you on

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 1 points 16 hours ago

I mean I didn't want to go too deep into that end just yet, let's pretend like it's as easy as jumping off a bridge.

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 4 points 23 hours ago

that's about where I'm at now. take a wild guess why American capitalists are so hung up about increasing birth rates and cutting our health care

Escape is possible.

You could spend those thirty years italicizing things.

Good luck to you

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You triggered my trap card: Oppositional defiance! Not only does that not energize me, it makes me angry and stubborn!

do humans necessarily need to be autistic to reject the bad state of affairs capitalism has put us into?

thats kinda sad. yall need to rely on just 1% of the population on having the perception to solve that shit for you?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

But 9 out of 10 Lemmy armchair experts agree everyone is autistic and a lil' bit gay.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 22 hours ago

also tankie nerds

[–] JohneryCreatives@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

I drink this everyday, but now I feel even more tired and broke

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

FUD keeps me going.
