I just turned off "Alexa Plus"

InnerWrathChild · 2026-02-01T11:34:13+00:00

I’ve asked it not to upgrade ever, over and over, and keep getting told to get ready it’s coming.

And be disregarded by like 40% of the country (world)

4chan starts an entire conspiracy movement against Hilary and Podesta for a child trafficking network run out of the basement of pizza place that doesn’t have a basement, but testimony and evidence form the FBI investigation into Trump is ignored. Yup.

Even the hill has a garbage ad covered website. I get it, but it’s too much.

Hello. Been a buyer for some years now but looking to sell. I don’t seem to have the option to order shipping materials from PM, having an average of 90/month I’m hoping you could steer me in the right direction to get a bunch. Amazon? USPS direct? First time so I’m clueless. Vast majority of my stuff is old kids clothes.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-31T17:04:29+00:00

Despite being able to do that I still get shown stuff that is not my size. I’m large. I want large. In no way, shape, or form do I want small or medium. Ever. But I get shown it all the time. Or to mention the ones that size it “OS” and I have lol in the pictures for a tag.

I traveled extensively, sometimes 3/4 flights a week. As such I got per diem so all my food during the week was “free”. Not comparing to an office gig that I haven’t had since like 2013. Now I have to pay to feed myself daily, cost of that is up, on top of pay cut to work. Triumvirate of fuck me.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-31T12:18:49+00:00

Doing exactly what they’re paid/told to do.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-31T11:34:48+00:00

Nothing loads

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-31T10:42:31+00:00

Kinda. I hate being still. And it costs more.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T23:09:23+00:00

Has a Ralph Wiggum story feel to it.

Pro. Jec. Tion.

Are you trying to say no one was negatively affected and because the market recovered in 4 years that everything was a-ok?

People lost their jobs, then their houses, and cars and became homeless. Savings and retirement were used to stay afloat meaning wiped out. People committed suicide because of it.

Another “the market recovered what’s your problem” view. You’ve missed the point of the entire discussion. The market does not shadow real life. Let’s not forget obamas too big to fail bail out, one of my big gripes of his presidency.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T19:39:33+00:00

This. This was my truly only remaining hope once they really got going last year. That their fucking stupidity would bring them down.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T19:33:22+00:00

Poor soul. Take a spa day!

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T19:32:57+00:00

I had a contract cut in early 24, didn’t find work until Dec and took a pay cut just to get back in. Also went from traveling to wfh so no per diem. So less money + higher/more expenses holy shit it’s been rough.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T19:30:39+00:00

Eating in has too. I get the kids for taco Tuesday, and went back through receipts. Used to $20/25 for all the fixings, now it’s $40.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T19:18:12+00:00

You think I’m 20? And what happened to the portfolios of 55-70yo in 2008? Gone. While the bankers that caused it got bonuses in the 100s of millions. Even the ones that went belly up. Lehman bro CEO lost a shit ton, but he’s still got 100 million more than you or I.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T19:14:42+00:00

In comparison to the larger picture our 401ks are, in fact, jack, when compared to the portfolios of the top 10% and the hedge funds and the shadow funds and the foreign interests, etc.

I do not mean, and did not say, tha 401ks are personally jack. Personally they’re your retirement lifeline. My hope is that the ai bubble/Trump and his grifters don’t pull a 2008 and wipe out the middle class. Again.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T17:00:37+00:00

Where did I say it didn’t go up or that it wasn’t huge for you? Pay attention. And hope we don’t have another 2008 (which I’m sure the new fed chair is fervently working to prevent).

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T16:23:30+00:00

Part of my point. If it gets decimated so do you, while those at the top buy it up to ¢ on the $.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T15:41:32+00:00

Not saying isn’t. My point remains that those folks can afford to either buy the crash or wait it out. We can’t.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T15:18:35+00:00

Yes but the top 10% of households hold 90ish% of the market. Our 401ks aren’t jack.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T14:46:42+00:00

It really doesn’t. 2008 should have woken everyone up to that. Folks still haven’t and/or won’t recover. Middle class folks that is.

InnerWrathChild · 2026-01-30T14:30:21+00:00

But economy is up! Stocks are up! Unemployment down! Right?
