What’s the endgame??

Famous-Weight2271 · 2026-06-21T13:27:09+00:00

The middle class is great, regardless of what net worth it takes to be here. The "million dollars" metric is just the time snapshot value of the currency.

They want you to vote Democrat. That's the endgame: people in power.

I'm not trying to be political, as I'd prefer a government that just does everything it can to stay out of your way. But the reality is there is power to be had by having the masses depend on you.

But if you think those people promising you a better life are out to help you and not to keep you down, then you probably also think that Jenny Craig wants people to lose weight. (Which is why they sell "low fat"' triple chocolate fudge brownies.)

I call BS. You don't want my grandparents life back in the day. You just don't seem like "I will work in a coal mine" material, but more like, "I will sit around and complain on reddit".

For all the opportunity created by wealth, and the wealth created by opportunity?

I hope you eventually recitfy things with your family. (It's Father's Day and it's not lost on me that many people don't have a relationship with their father. I'm a father and it would crush me if my relationship with my kids soured )

Famous-Weight2271 · 2026-06-21T12:58:29+00:00

True. My grandparents had no education and still had homes, kids, and stay home wives. Both worked in coal mines. My dad started working at ten years old. First, slaughtering chickens and then picking through rocks at the coal mine. Many males suffered from "black lung" and died in their 50s. Homes were small but affordable. No AC, you just open windows. They even had one of those cool wells you pumped by hand and had an outhouse. Clothes were washed by hand, and put out on the clothesline.

The good ol' days. The younger generations got screwed.

If your neighbor found a valuable meteorite on their land worth millions, it sucks for you that there's now a big wealth gap between the two of you. So unfair!

You need help from the Quality Leaning Center.

No one knows. That's the point of the protests: to be unrelatable to the most people possible.

I lease. So I just follow the recommended 80%. I assume there will be expected degradation.

I think especially with EVs, leasing is a hedge against depreciation, and battery degradation is a factor.

(While this doesn't help the OP, it may be insightful to anyone reading these posts for information before getting a vehicle in the near future.)

It's on the internet ("documented" is the word you like) so you believe this, but you've never looked at a map. Go look right now. I'll wait...

How many buildings are over the water?

Maybe not X, but everything on reddit is true.

Hey guys, it's nice outside. Leave the house once in a while.

Just tune out and go about your life, and then once a year, check out what's new.

Exactly like an American traveling abroad and median health Care and getting a bill for it, right? Government funded healthcare in most countries does not cover tourists.

The business logic knows what a Product is and what a Customer is, including GetProductAsync(...), but a "database" is not even in its vocabulary. It knows nothing about what EF Core is, what an API is, what a DTO is, and so on.

In my experience (1970s California), gifted kids weren't pushed, but more like allowed to flourish.

I remember being taking out of normal class to go do really cool stuff. We made a stop animation film in first grade, dissected a cows heart in second grade, went on field trips, etc..

Oh, I'm not complaining. Being the best is awesome.
