Couldn’t hear the TV over my crunchy snacks
This is my daily. I am harder of hearing than my wife so I have to turn the TV up, but then it is disrupting her sleep.
So then I sometimes use headphones, but sometimes the odd quietness of the room at that point causes her to wake up.
🤷♂️
My 65" oled tv is pretty laggy, and there’s supposed to be an Optimize section in the menu, but there isn’t, and the firmware is up to date.
I guess being unable to lose weight?
It is ridiculous how privileged it is in the context of human history to actually struggle with too much calories.
My wife is technically obese. She’s not bedridden fat like you see on TV, just nicely rounded. She complains about wanting to lose weight and finding it hard.
I suffered pretty serious poverty before meeting her and turning my life round, and also the brexit-covid combo basically emptied our supermarket shelves and scared the shit out of us all.
My mouth agrees with her that we should both do more to lose weight, but my mind says “bitch finish that sandwich let’s get a bit more famine resistance in us.”
I think this is also a big part of the issue.
Many countries are only recently in the phase of over consumption, meaning that parents and grandparents are often teaching kids early on to not waste food in a extremely unhealthy manner once you are in the context of over consumption.
For some people their parents grew up in a time where wasting the last few bites of a meal, or letting food go bad, or not eating food that in front of you would actually be bad. Like, if you didn’t eat the last few bites you are wasting a valuable resource that you might not get the privilege of eating tomorrow.
But for example in many parts of the US right now, you are much better off learning to throw food away than to learn to force feed yourself.
It is a shame that the world is like that, but the reality is that for many people today, being okay with throwing away food is an actually important part of staying healthy.
I got a Rx for zepbound and lost a bunch of weight.
A couple of weeks ago, my favorite coffeeshop was closed. And, to make matters worse, my backup coffeeshop was closed. I was very lucky that my second backup was open. Otherwise, I would have been forced to go to the fucking Starbucks.
I’d rather eat a spoonful of dry instant coffee than set foot into this establishment.
I live in a nice village, my company were going litter picking volunteering which I really wanted to do but after day 1 (found a few items) it was just going for a walk with an empty bag.
I considered dropping lower the night before my son had to do a litter pick for a beavers badge
I dated a girl who’s family never kept leftovers from meals even thanksgiving dinner they would throw out anything not eaten after dinner.
Wtf leftovers are like half the fun
Thanksgiving sandwiches are amazing.
I’ve been to a fancy restaurant before. We were given dirty looks for leaving with a bag of leftovers.
Would they at least make less food to avoid the leftovers!!! 😢
Nope they were very wasteful. And they all thought they were so much better than anyone else.
bet they white and Christian.
White yes, but Mormon.
Even worse
Extra worst! As another example her dad who is no longer alive was close friends with that Bundy family from southern Nevada that had that stand off with the government.
I know nothing about mormonism except for surface-level info and memes, but I would have assumed they’d be more frugal types.
Yes they run the gamut of how they live their lives. I know some in the Mormon community who are very frugal and save and what not. And there are many people i have known in the Mormon community who act like they are Hollywood celebrities and are just wasteful with everything. Always buying a new car or truck, selling and moving into bigger houses, buying expensive name brands clothes etc.
Wow. To me, Thanksgiving leftovers > the actual meal.
This hurts my soul.
The motorcycle I bought to zip around and have fun on is broken, so I have to drive my car instead while I wait for the part to arrive.
F
The firstest world problem ever: Bored horny teen boys memed us into fascism through social media manipulation and no one is willing to face facts about it
and no one is willing to face facts about it
What do you mean by this? I think a lot of people can see that things aren’t right with many teen boys.
Yes but they stop at that instead of seeing them as the cultural mine canary they are, and the proof of it is still the fact no one is doing anything about it
And you are proof yourself not realizing that the teenage boys during Gamergate are about to hit their 30s soon and they didn’t stop being easily swayed misogynistic tools
And their indoctrinating a whole new generation through tate and rogan and the like
While everyone seems to just tut tut and say 'wow teen bois amirite
You really have no fucking clue how bad or deep this problem is and it’s so well known that Chinese aristocrats wrote about it a thousand years ago, they called it ‘The Bare Brances problem’, and it resulted in numerous bandit uprisings resulting in entire villages getting raped and pillaged
And it all started with socially disenfranchised young men who had no future
Just like now
You really, really don’t know how bad it’s going to get. I’ve spent the last year prepping a remote cabin because our family has survived two dictators and they passed down their tips
If you aren’t doing something to secure your family’s safety now, it is likely too late unless you are wealthy enough to drop and go at a moments notice.
Yes but they stop at that instead of seeing them as the cultural mine canary they are, and the proof of it is still the fact no one is doing anything about it
and what do you expect me to do about it? I’m a 52 year old fat dude, and I’m not going to jerk off a bunch of horny simps.
I’m pretty sure from your post history that you wouldn’t bother to do anything even if you could.
you huwrt my feewings senpai!
and the proof of it is still the fact no one is doing anything about it
I don’t think that’s accurate, there are many truths people acknowledge without taking any action to improve things.
And you are proof yourself not realizing that the teenage boys during Gamergate are about to hit their 30s soon and they didn’t stop being easily swayed misogynistic tools
Oh we’re just making things up now? Okay buddy
What interest do you have in so eagerly denying the obvious? I’m pretty sure if I check your post history I’ll find some interesting things
Oh god I took a look at your comment history and it reads like a bot. You made like 100 posts in the last 24 hours and they’re all practically the same thing.
Did teenage boys drive us to fascism, or are the canary? The canary can’t be the cause of the disaster.
Did you ever think that it’s loud judgemental people like you which open the door to rightwing charlatans to sell a bag full of pleasant lies to teens?If you’re a real human, you’re insufferable 👋
that’s so cool dude
I bought the wrong dual arm monitor stand, and couldn’t refund it.
The ice maker stopped working and When I make Sodastream I pour it over ice so I wouldn’t make Sodastream soda and was “forced” to drink the Cokes in the fridge. It took 2 days before the ice machine was fixed.
Get those little pressure lines on your fingers carrying bags of groceries into the house.
Woah, look at Money Bags over here.
When I lived with my grandparents for a while I had to use the bathroom without heated floors whenever the maid was cleaning the other one. My current bathroom straight up doesn’t have heating.

I am currently at a party of around 50 people sitting alone because I only know 1 person who is off talking to others, feeling super awkward. Does that count?
My friend is a multi-multi-multi-millionaire. Her father started a retail giant in my country. She has her own pool building with (i think it’s called) a free span roof. It is big enough to contain 6 copies of the house I used to own, exterior, roof, chimney and all. She spends more money per month heating the building and pool (which has not been used in 3 years) and paying maintenance and upkeep, than most people pay on their mortgage per year. She complained that the cost of natural gas went up 1.2%. She was spitting mad, tearing up the bill, balling it up and throwing it down in a huff. She also has a 30 car single span roof garage with row after row of industrial racking which contains mostly packrat stuff. She keeps that “Quonset” as she calls it, a balmy 20C all year through our -25C winters. And also complains about that cost.
I mean, if I was that wasteful and then got the bill I’d cry too
So in your mind she wasn’t aware of what she was paying to heat it until it went up 1%
Or at least didn’t think about how much she was using
You don’t realize she pays her bill every month?
Like, how hard is this to figure out
Someone that rich and disconnected clearly doesn’trealizes. Might not even be paying her own bills
I now have a motorized desk at work and unlike the one we have at home, you cannot single-tap the memory setting and just watch it adjust. I need to hold it until my desired height is reached.
Pretty sure the ones at my work (only by the higher-ups and the people responsible for ordering stuff) don’t have presets. So since my desk was just outside my boss’ boss’ door, whenever he was out I would pop in and move his desk halfway up. That way, every single time he walked in to use his desk, he’d had to move it whether he wanted to stand or sit.
I didn’t dislike him or anything. I (and every person I told to do it when they went into his office) just thought it was funny.
The thing is, the desk in the office does have presets. You still have to hold the button until it stops at the saved height.
I’m sorry you have to live this way
I’m trying to hang in there.
Can you still call that living
Savagery.
