Apparently I’m in spooky brain mode cause mine was a crystal ball

Aloha air? 1988? Yeah man that one lives with me on how safe planes really can be considered.

As long as it doesn’t have an auto pilot feature that makes you nosedive to counter a completely mismanaged weight and design flaw.

Oh no. You wanted to enter another country and they wanted to know who you are in case you do something illegal while there?!?! How very 1984.

This is a country that doesn’t even allow you to sell to used electronics stores without a residency card so that you can’t scam them.

This seems like a really dumb gripe to have that you had to enter immigration in a other country. Complaining because you got detained in Singapore or China cause you complained about the government or handed out some VPNs on a USB (I did the delays were fun) is commendable but this seems like yelling at shadows.

Do you ask everyone that question or you decide I know something you don’t?

Its pretty godawful advice.

But it’s advice I do see going around and people taking seriously.

Right but none are what the past thought of. None of these are cars or street legal really in any way.

Also it’s cheating to say no one has died in them if nobody is really flying around them. There have been crashes but like a really limited sample size.

Yeah it’s called a helicopter.

Most of the extremely wealthy use then to avoid traffic and occasionally die in them cause flying is more complicated than SciFi made it seem.

Look at the mansions and companies that all include landing pads. They aren’t just for die hard movies.

Fuck that. That got us here by not fixing any problems and just hiding issues in the beginning of social identity politics.

Focus on “joy” and hope you are rich enough to feel really good about life until it all blows up?

That seems to be the stance of the younger and the wealthier left, and you can see the nightmare self hatred that is already causing if you aren’t.

Eh. By now I’m pretty sure most people just interact with the internet in order to reconfirm their already held beliefs because they expect the algorithm to give them exactly what they want and a few “wrong” things to dunk on easily for bonus points.

They don’t need sources they are already right.

I’ve been incredibly broke before and I think it’s different kind of protective. I’m frugally protective at trying to keep something working but that’s a different kind of possesive.

Of course you will care about food when you are starving. And you won’t care about scraps and leftovers when you are not.

But like that was a change of not being afraid to lose something you can rebuy. I’m sure their is plenty of non disposable items that you would have and ideals that you hold onto as truths about yourself. And im sure you don’t viewing housing and transportation as disposable.

Yeah I think they misunderstood what was happening cause they were getting wealthier as they got older.

Honestly, you just become more protective of your stuff and things you consider yours as you get older.

There are plenty of nerds that are super conservative about their fandoms and what is allowed to happen with them and same for all kinds of niches but the idea we would get more conservative with money really assumed we would accumulate more of it and assets. But what people do have is their apps and thoughts and those… Those people will be just as conservative as the boomers are about their money as they get older.

Oh yeah. I fled the state after my rent went from $1,500 to $2,700 a few years ago, with no work having been put into the shithole that I had to syphon dirty water from the air conditioner by hand to keep it from overflowing.

I can’t even imagine the convoluted thoughts that lead to thinking these places are fair to be priced like that. But you get your loan evaluation on your properties based on how much you charge for rent so suddenly it makes a lot more sense.

In Florida I toured a place that I thought was a house to rent but ended up being one of 7 apartments spread across the house, garage, and guest house. Literally the bathroom was in the kitchen and the hallway just had dry wall separating it in half. The stair well for one of the units was just nailed poorly to the outside of the house and wasn’t covered at all.

Incant imagine what parking would have been like.

Agreed on the hatred towards landlords.

No wonder they changed her to Romani, they got tired of all the questions from The Tribe asking for her mother’s geneology to prove she was Jewish.

I swear Hollywood has an addiction to those big eyed weirdos because they are a kinda pretty that isn’t exactly normal pretty and it makes you remember their face for triggering your uncanny valley reflex.

What are you doing in my room country step bro Germany?

The oil refinery row used to really have a smell.

But Delaware sucks so much.

OK but I think it actually might be interesting to see the difference.

That top tier model got you:

• WiFi
• a hard drive 3x bigger than the standard
• every type of card reader
• full backwards compatibility with previous console games
• bluray and CD player for home entertainment console use

Now granted that last part is true for the cheaper model PS3 too.

For the PS5 pro upgrade you get

• the same amount of RAM
• slightly better performing GPU under theoretical max use cases using updated hardware but not new
• a removed disk drive for less functionality
• 2x times hard drive space when storage costs are at a historical low.

The extra money used to get you more functionality. This refresh seems like more for number fetishists to scrape more dopamine from the bottom of the barrel and get ripped off apple style to dish out more for basic features.

Yes they have charged a lot but this is not exactly a great sign of “see how they have always done this?”

Edit: also wages haven’t dramatically shifted since the PS3 launch so while inflation has ruined purchasing power to make it cost equivalent of $950, work hours needed to work to afford $600 is still the same thus making this new console still quite more costly. Its just you could buy more with same hours of work in the past.

Yeah I guess? Is that your only skillset though cause I do tech work, but I also do a lot cheap large batch cooking, grow my own produce and can provide immediate first aid and medical care, all of which, I think, makes me pretty useful.

Plus a minor hobby in botany specifically poisonous plants makes me somewhat useful for what not to eat.

You are more than just your work.
