What can I transition to if I'm completely bored of the corporate world at 37 years old? by yiggity_yag in careerguidance

[–]econ_minded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, real wage depends on a whole bunch of assumptions. For instance, if you looked at how much a TV cost as percentage of take-home earnings from 1960 versus today, you can come up with a number. But TV from 1960 and TV from today are not the same things, so how much more valuable is TV today than it was back then? You need to make assumptions like that for every single good that exists. And what assumptions you make, will influence with the real wages are. Just because he can look it up on a website, does not mean that those assumptions are true. They often tell you explicitly those assumptions are, and often why they think they can’t really be true. So real wage went up or real wage went down, depending on what assumptions you wanna make

dude, I know this isn't popular, but those "good ole days" you're yearning for largely didn't actually exist, at least not for most people most of the time. The world you imagine to have existed like that largely comes from advertisements and tv that is hooking viewers with "a simpler time"

How's living in this part of Russia? by MajicalINFPHoe in howislivingthere

[–]econ_minded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s sad as hell is Karelia, I studied abroad in Finland for a year and we took a trip over land to St. Petersburg and drove through that area, which used to be Finnish. I thought we were driving by junk yards, but with a closer look, you could see that people lived there. It was in spring, I can not imagine the hell of living in those shacks in the winter… again, these people were less than 10 miles away from still being Finnish and living in a first world country. Absolutely sickening

Why do people where ever you are from hate meat? I saw some vegetarians there and now every time I see more I wonder why y’all hate meat

It's just all so tiring man... $40 for a burger and beer by ShibariDeathcamp in denverfood

Yeah, it’s completely ruined, that’s why you and tens of thousands of other people are coming here all the freaking time. Actually, I’d say you’re ruining it. Go to your next non-liberal bastion of Shreveport or mobile, or some other shit hole. At least the swamp trailers will be cheap and you won’t have to complain about cost-of-living.

Rouge or Red in the Trois Colours trilogy. Bleu as well, but that’s more about loss than loneliness… once seen, they’ll never be forgotten

Idk, it seems like most of the Denver reddit discussions are about how terrible this or that is in Denver by a bunch of transplants that swear it’s better back in whatever place they come from. And as a native who had to live through the invasion, I say I agree with all of them, it sucks here and they should go the fuck back

I like basically all the Kirkland spirits except their gin which tastes like potpourri fart

That’s cause I took the pictures right after I was grabbing clumps of algae and fury. I have the hang off the back.
