  • She works in IT. Her main tool is Salesforce. Some of the clients she's mentioned are universally known. Volkswagen and IKEA are two I remember.

    I don't know what she does exactly. But, to be fair, she doesn't know what I do either, cause I have a Film & TV degree and our latest argument was about her insisting that I use that degree to "become an influencer, because influencers make money". That conversation would have been hilarious if I wasn't part of it. Like listening to a tween tell you what she wants to be when she grows up...

  • My sister, who earns several times the average income of the city she lives in:

    • constantly complains about taxes. She says she wants to pay, believe it or not, zero taxes, because "what is she getting in return for that money anyway? Nothing"
    • complains about how she "has to" work "four jobs" (she means 4 clients) then she casually drops something like "I saved up enough to buy two apartments. I want to buy and rent and quit my job". She sees herself as someone who HAS TO work multiple jobs for rent and food
    • she constantly complains about how poor people "pay less taxes" than her and absolutely hates anyone who works a low-income job as if they're "dirty" or something. I assume if "no taxes" is her wet dream, then "everyone pays the exact same amount regardless of their income" is something she'd be ok with
    • this is happening in the EU, with free healthcare and all that, so she's getting plenty out of the taxes she pays (or would, if she didn't insist on using overpriced private clinics instead and hell knows what other "rich people" alternatives)

    She's not poor. She's practically a one percenter. She's just upset it's a lot of effort saving up to buy property to turn her favorite hobby of "fucking the poor" into a job by becoming a "professional landlord". I don't need Trump. I have Trump at home.

    Most rich people I've met are disconnected assholes... I'm sure some are cool, and where I'm at they tend to vote liberal (but not progressive), but goddamn I have not a thing to share or discuss with them. Bless'em and may I never wait on them or paint their house or be their nurse or anything like that, cause I'm not putting up with their attitude.

    Sorry if I sound like a dick. Just blowing off steam.

  • I'll take a bite if you wanna

  • Daaaamn, I have never seen anyone get NO upvotes at all on Lemmy

  • Tried that. Got kicked out of the stripclub. Had to have lunch somewhere else.

  • I don't know what downvoting this makes me, but I am that

    To clarify, there is a word that accurately describes how I feel, but I'm too stupid to know it

    EDIT: disillusioned. The word was disillusioned

  • Super important to know where the radio is, cause I'm gonna want to listen to some nice chill songs while I soar through the air towards certain death cause I don't know how to fly a plane but the guy behind me kept kicking my chair so I yelled "If you don't stop kicking my chair, I swear to god, I am turning this plane around!" and he didn't stop so I had to do it to save face.

  • It generated fascist AI memes

  • Oh god please at least give her an adult dog? She's played with enough "puppies", has she not?

  • My 35-year old sister thinks being an influencer is a job I should pursue with my Film & TV degree...

  • Somehow, much like the show itself, this meme refuses to die. A real winner

  • Tsk tsk tsk... That's how he gets ya...

  • I just hope they don't try to cancel the midterms altogether... Or refuse to swear in the new dems...

    I tend to believe they will...

    So... yea...

  • I'm reading these comments and I'm thinking I should call this dude's ex. I can only hope I'm worthy.

  • Uh-oh. The words "billionaire" and "illegal school" in the same sentence can't be good...

  • The power of my cordon sanitaire compels you!

    Oversimplification, but: In Romania, with proportional representation, if AUR (pro-Russia) gets 49%, the remaining 51% can form an alliance to shut them out of government, no matter how many parties.

    In the UK, Reform can get a majority of seats with just over 30% of the vote. In fact, Labour did just that in 2024.
