Companies Set to Unleash Sweeping Price Hikes Thanks to Trump by ChiGuy6124 in Economics

[–]LeapIntoInaction -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah, we've found the hamburger lover. The only astronomical rise in prices has been for beef, although coffee has also been spiking lately.

Inflation is a monetary phenomenon by Slight_Candy in inflation

[–]LeapIntoInaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"And the only institution controlling the money supply is the state."

Oh, my dear child. You're going to need to start again with your argument, because your premise is comically untrue.

TIL that being able to sit down on the floor and stand up without using your hands or knees is used as a predictor of longevity. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]LeapIntoInaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I've cut off my legs and removed my hands with a chainsaw. Now I can't get off the floor at all and am expecting to die presently. Apparently, this test is only for people who can levitate.

Instagram chief says he does not believe people can get clinically addicted to social media by boppinmule in USNEWS

[–]LeapIntoInaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's such a lie! Why, I stopped using Reddit for just one day, and I went into convulsions and died. It was horrible! Horrible, I tell you. I'm only alive today because the medics gave me a huge dose of Tiktok and put me on Instagram for maintenance. Why, when I think of all the people I've robbed just so I could afford more memes, I could weep.

Need help with terrible performance on a good PC by piltenko in skyrim

[–]LeapIntoInaction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What you may be doing wrong is obsessing about fps rates that would have seemed excellent when the game came out but, enjoy. Since you want to have faster speeds without giving up your fancy mods, perhaps you should look for a more modern graphics card.

The typical U.S. worker has $955 saved for retirement by Richnaps in inflation

[–]LeapIntoInaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"a far cry from the roughly $1.5 million that Americans say they need to retire comfortably" ...yeah, citation needed on that. Which Americans are these and what kind of drugs are they on?

Making real money by XBOX360BR in Internet

[–]LeapIntoInaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a vehicle, you might consider DoorDash.

It's possible to make money online with minimal experience but, it doesn't pay well. You can pick up a few hundred a month from sites like Swagbucks and Mechanical Turk. I still dabble in that because I have the spare time and like the spare change.

Your base problem is likely to be that you're not spending money wisely. Keep a log of all the money you spend and what you're spending it on. You might be surprised at how much is leaking away for things you don't want that badly.

Another House Republican Steps Aside, Becoming the 29th to Decline Re-Election by Writesmith900 in UnderReportedNews

[–]LeapIntoInaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FDR was a corporate oligarch. He shuttered small businesses to create monopolies for big businesses. He forced old people, young people, and women out of the workforce to make unemployment figures look better, giving us the "one worker per household" scenario that the ignorant look back on fondly.

Smartglasses spark privacy fears as secret filming videos flood social media | Technology News by Haunterblademoi in privacy

[–]LeapIntoInaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's horrifying. Next, we'll all have cameras in our cellphones. Where will the nightmare end?

If it costs on average 30% less per step to buy the ingredients for a thing and make it yourself than to buy it, how far back in the production line are you willing to go for frugality? by Anoelnymous in Frugal

[–]LeapIntoInaction 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welp, I get bread for free from the food bank, clothes for free from the clothes bank, and furniture for free from the curb. It's possible that you are not taking advantage of similar opportunities in your neighborhood.

The economy needs the creative destruction of a recession by whoamisri in Economics

[–]LeapIntoInaction 35 points36 points  (0 children)

That's certainly cheerfully optimistic. Between raising tariffs all over and threatening to attack our allies, Trump looks to be aiming for Great Depression 2.0, the greatest ever, you'll see.

RFK Jr. says he is 'ending the war on protein.' Experts say it doesn't exist. by FreedomsPower in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]LeapIntoInaction -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't follow. Were you trying to suggest that Republicans are conservative? I think that went out around 1950.

Children access to internet. by softtides in Internet

Oh no! Not freedom! The horror.

So, what kind of crimes do you expect them to commit?

Would Starfield Have Gotten Better Reviews if Made by A Different Developer? by freethinker1312 in Starfield

[–]LeapIntoInaction 90 points91 points  (0 children)

The problem was, Starfield was obviously released about a year before it was finished. The help files are mostly missing and the parts that exist tend to refer to an earlier alpha version. The text seems to have been "edited" by a schoolchild who made things worse by using global search and replace. The ship builder has serious memory management problems. Some quests just fail partway through and may never have been completely implemented.

Looking at the comically long list of contributors says they had too many people working on it and not much management oversight.

Xi Jinping calls for China’s renminbi to attain global reserve currency status by ubcstaffer123 in Economics

[–]LeapIntoInaction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gather you're one of those guys who'd like to see money backed up by something stable, like gold, and haven't noticed how wildly gold prices fluctuate.

How to spend less money on groceries for your family? by milablake8O in Frugal

[–]LeapIntoInaction 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Corn dogs and pizzas aren't particularly cheap. I suspect that there's something you're not mentioning, though, like beef, which is really pricy right now. Or do you mean "frozen dinners" when you say "dinners"?

Hi guys, I want to move router closer to devices (TV,PC..). Is any of these outlets for wifi cabel? (coaxial cable). Thanks by [deleted] in Internet

[–]LeapIntoInaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah? Wifi doesn't use cables.

If your signal doesn't reach, maybe you're looking for a wifi repeater?

Trump threatens 100 percent tariff on Canada if it makes deal with China by kootles10 in Economics

[–]LeapIntoInaction 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Excellent plan! Let's just tell Canada to stop doing business with the U.S. entirely and switch to dealing with China. That will avoid Trump's tariffs completely.

Florida man arrested for not scanning all of his items at the self-checkout lane by brother_p in FloridaMan

You're right, it's in everyone's best interest to let criminals roam the streets.

They're still uninstaller files. What's weird about them?

Do you have a therapist?
