It makes zero sense, but of course tankies will be happy to parade it around. The are well after the 50th in GDP per capita PPP, and probably much lower if would look at actual consumption. In total GDP, outside of top 10

Total GDP on PPP basis has to be one of the most idiotic bullshit comparisons I have ever heard. Makes zero sense. Per capita GDP PPP comparison could at least pretend to be meaningful, but of course they would be far behind in that
Yes, and it’s not even just about the age (though of course I think Gen Z has a higher tolerance for intrusive ads and shitty UX, as that’s all they have ever known anywhere) - I know a late thirties guy, who doesn’t understand what my problem is with reddit, as he only ever used the shitty mobile app, so has no comparison with other options.
I have been back occasionally when searching for some specific thing, and sometimes I checked r/all and my former favorite subs. My overall observation:
Overall, reddit is still useful as an occasional information source for checking public opinion/sentiment on specific things, but for me, it’s appeal as a general “time-waster” social media, where I keep scrolling for an hour and leave comments is gone.
She’s buying another house (already signed), so she needs to sell this one - lack of a concrete driveway would tank the price.
We are not the only ones to not understand what the exact scam is, the realtor she is working with also has no idea, never seen anything like this with him or his colleagues. He posted the thing in a national realtor group (that’s how it became news), others also have very few similar examples.
It could be that some guy just wanted a similar driveway, and had it removed and delivered. No idea if that is possible without it being destroyed, but e.g. there were instances of people steeling lawn/grass, so I think anything is possible.
But they don’t want to actually do it, and this way they can pretend to be working on it.
It reads like a start of some dude’s homoerotic fanfic, reminiscing about the famous dudes he used to bang.
It is known
This is very true. I have always dreamed to have a job like I have now, my wife and I make nearly 250k EUR together. Of course taxes take a large part of it, but what is left still doesn’t feel as much as I thought it would. We can live a comfortable life, but if we start thinking about buying a house or having children, the math gets difficult.
It’s hard to complain about this, as I know the realities of most people are vastly different. The key thing is, I feel like we’ve been fed a lie, as we worked crazy hard and progressed well in our careers, yet we still can’t seem to reach the lifestyle that came easy to many a few decades ago (e.g. owning your own house with a garden).
I agree, let’s have peace! Russians should go the fuck home
Bro, hand me some of that copium you’re having, seems like the strong kind!
Tank(ie) you for your valuable comment!
Must be using Kanye’s PR guy
The fact that corporate tax cuts are still on the table in 2023 makes me very sad
I wouldn’t say squat, as a lot of Afghani and Iraqi civilians were killed as a response, and arms companies made a fortune
Tank(ie) you for the detailed explanation!
Great summary, I wish all the WFH fanatics would read and understand this. I really hate how in most online spaces they make it seem like 100% WFH is the answer for everything.
It’s also not just about intention, but about possibility. Russia lacks well-trained soldiers and modern equipment as demonstrated in the war. They can’t magically solve either of those problems.
Good. Now also please give them the needed financial support
