  • "you owe me for giving birth to you and putting a roof over your head" is pretty far out, if you're raised like this I can assure you it would suit these parents a lot better to skip having kids.

    You owe it to the kid you decided to have to care for it as best you can, Not the other way around.

  • I think them having all this info about you, is a way to get advertisers to pay them more for the targeted ads.

    It's not to help you or the advertisers, but themselves.

    And I assume not a single advertiser has gone up to them with a well grounded: "bruh, dafuq are you doing showing fridge ads to the guy that just bought a fridge from us... that's not what we are paying you for."

  • So is the "nice job Matt" a sarcastic reply to the "Matt hung himself in MY office" mug? Or were they actually hopeful for him doing something good?

  • Me, the way I set up my life...but the economy been fucking around.

    So now I find out I still get none of what I worked, prepared and sacrificed for.

  • I'm a crane operator, if we still got the wages people would get 15 years ago and all the required paperwork it would feel important.

    But now it's just a: "hey guy, go try it out...see how it goes" and if it goes well you get to stay...for the same wage and no official paperwork to prove you're capable and as such no opportunity to do the same at a new employer and maybe build up your wage.

    It's a bit if a run on ramble, but yeah... that's how I feel, after 30 years of trying to save money, increase my skills and wage, not owning a car to save on costs and doing everything on a bicycle up to 40km a day and still not being able to buy a house...I'm ready to throw in the towel

  • I'm European and already figured this out the moment I got on the internet 🤣

  • Ah yes, "it's not taxed higher, just differently which means it's higher". Makes sense.

  • The average european has a good life, but the average person doesn't exist outside of statistics.

    I used to work 84h weeks as a European, overtime is taxed at a higher rate so the take home is lower than a regular working hour. But if you really want something out of life (like buying a house) you have to sacrifice everything if you're just a normal worker.

    Hell i sacrificed it all only to lose it to economic troubles and later again due to covid.

    I'm not doing that again even though all my employers try to get me to work overtime, some even fired me for refusing to work overtime past the contractual 3h per week.

    I somehow ended up making a decent wage at my current job, but i dislike the job so badly it's not even funny anymore.

  • These type of posts give me the feeling people might start standing up for themselves more.

  • Not just a women problem, my own jeans are 32. My workout pants are M, my work pants are size 50.

    Shoes should be standardized, i have pair of converse size 39 and a pair of nike jordan's (possibly fake, not sure got them as a gift from a friend) size 44. I'm usually a 42 or 42,5.

  • That worked very well for me, turns out my job was far too boring and offered no challenges.

    I made the mistake of not succesfully monetizing my workouts, because groceries got so expensive i had to stop my gym membership.

    Have been a vegetable ever since, zero motivation and energy to do shit.

  • There it is, haha.

    Gave me a good chuckle as i'm with you here.

    I have a similar sentiment when it comes to ads, my device, i pay for the internet and the device is inside my home. I'll decide if you get to show me ads.

  • Leave me alone, i'm trying to struggle in silence.

  • I was a silly goose once, expecting people to show up for my birthday...so i ordered 3 cakes.

    We ended up eating all 3 in 2 days with just the two of us.

  • Ads are out of control, they fill my day.

    My home, my rules. Ads are not allowed on the devices i BOUGHT.

    99% of the targeted ads i get tend to be targeted at someone who has a family and makes 3 times my wage, so you're wasting business resources for your own gain and wasting my time by serving them to me.

    So fuck off outta my house.

  • It's been something i've thought about a lot, but at the moment it feels manageable to the point other things get priority.

  • I don't care Netflix. Lower the cost and let me share with my retired father again.

    You advertised to me i was allowed to share and then took it away, fuck you.

  • This seems interesting, i'll read it fully after work if i don't forget.

    Something has me convinced i'm depressed but the only time i ever had the posibility to look for help they sort of just worked me towards the door and cut me off asap.

    But they ended up giving me some sort of anti psychotic medication, which definitely allowed me to get back on my feet at the time. (Shit was dark, i fell in a hole with covid, homelessness and unemployment alltogether with my wife and reached a point where i struggled so much i couldn't even get my ass to a job interview).

    But i still don't know what the cause of my struggles is, only that they've been around as long as i can remember. Some form of psychotic whatever wouldn't surprise me either looking at my mom and what she did. But from what i know (which isn't a lot obviously) it seems more like depression.

  • I did say i was going balls to the wall, right?

    I was actually studying during cardio but not coding, lol

  • Buildapc @lemmy.world

    i had this idea of individually sleeving my cables, but then i found this when i cut off the existing heatshrink.

  • 3DPrinting @lemmy.world

    i just got a 5m trial piece of tri color filament.
