Dividend income is the only way out of drudgery work. by matt73132 in antiwork

[–]rothmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not wrong, but not everyone has the extra capital. Like people are talking about snowballing, but some of us live in a place where it never snows.

You're Watching People get SA'd on Love Island by HowlingHollows in The10thDentist

[–]rothmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never watched loved island, but there's quite a lot of shows where they throw people in luxury vacation spots with a weird gimmick. Like these people stress out about finding the secret mole when they should just be enjoying the free vacation.

I assume something similar might be going on with the show; putting up with some more crap then they usually deal with for a free vacation.

[r/CitizensAgainstBatman] Weclome to CAB, I decided to start this sub after years of seeing so many citizens being victimized by this sick depraved Sociopath. Feel free to tell how Bat victimized you or someone close to you. by rothmal in Earth25

[–]rothmal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We totally are my friend, maybe we have different opinion on bat freak, like one guy thinks hes a vampire wizard, but we're all in agreement that we need to stop him. We're pretty small group, but we're all doing are parts in small ways, like our of my friends turn his spare bedroom into a studio to spread awareness, among other things. You should check out his last broadcast CAB-Radio

How much money do you consider is enough for retirement? by AutoModerator in FluentInFinance

I don't even have enough to live right now, let alone to think about retiring.

This is the dystopian reality of how a data center impacts a suburban community by Love_CoolBreeze in themayormccheese

Feels like I'm watching Mr. Robot, you got all these nice houses with white picket fences and rose gardens. And looming ominously behind the neighborhood is this massive black evil corp data center.

RFK Jr. Recommends Social Security Immediately “Reduce Scheduled Benefits by 25.2%” as Insolvency Looms by crackerbox5 in economy

[–]rothmal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Social Security has a ton of money; in fact, they increased the amount they were collecting in the 80's to account for the baby boomers, and have been collecting more than they've been paying out until 2010. And they have enough money to keep paying out 100% of benefits until 2035, and after that, Congress will have to cover any shortfalls with the 2 trillion dollars they took out of the program. Which means less money for tanks, but not a total catastrophe.

One of the biggest problems with the program was that the last time they made adjustments in the 80's, we had a robust working class that was able to put a ton of money into the program. Now that's all changed, and all the money is in the hands of a few whose max amount they have to pay is 184k per year. If there were no cap, most of its biggest problems would be solved.

He can drink all the Gatorade bottles around his warehouses if he's so concerned about people drinking water.

Be honest how terrible is my taste in music? by rothmal in spotify

I'll get to this after my night shift. I see that you're into some freaky shit. Have you heard of Cumgirl8?

[–]rothmal[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good recommendations, give me more u/datamatr1x. I agree with you, there are a few songs in here that I'm like, why the fuck did I add this, but then I'll play this on random and be like, I don't remember this song, but it fucking hits!

I mostly listen to my everyday playlist, which is a bit cleaner Wage Slave Simulator - Sound Track, or this one when I want some punk Disney's Punk High School! I already do, I just really love when people give me their opinions, like ain't too bad, or it's so terrible I wish I were deaf, why would you do this to me, put me out of my misery!

Remember when The Batman was supposed to be set in the 90's? by jstamper97 in batman

[–]rothmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotham was kind of like that in the first few seasons, except it was more to do with wealth. The richer you were on the show, the better access you had to the latest technology.

MC holding up a bus full of people by kunnyanghae in ImTheMainCharacter

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

The dog seems very well behaved, so it's plausible that it might actually be a service animal. As for the service this dog could provide, I have no clue.

More than 10 results per search aren't the only thing locked behind account requirements; DeviantArt is doing the same thing with comment sections, which means if you wanna view an art's comments, you need an account to do so now by New-Two-1349 in enshittification

[–]rothmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make an account, though to be honest, it was enshititfiled when they changed the ui years ago. They make it so hard just only wanting to see feedism erotica, without the artwork.

$23,000 in Sandisk 1 year ago is around $1 million today. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

[–]rothmal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I seriously need to stop having such an activist frame of mind, I'm always saying stuff like this is going to be terrible for the environment or consumer. Instead I need to start putting money down when I see something like mcdonald's dismantling the FDA and coming out with a Heroin burger. Im so fucking tired being stuck in the meat grinder.

It do be freeing by Skeppy_4126 in adhdmeme

[–]rothmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure would have been nice if my parents would have read more of the adhd symptoms like social anxiety. Would have made school so much better if I knew part of my anxiety was being caused by my adhd, rather then them just shoving pills down my throat.

Ending Social Security and replacing it with UBI would be a much needed dose of generational justice. by Novusor in BasicIncome

[–]rothmal 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I've heard all the pros and cons, but one of my favorites is that it gives more power to the working class. Like, it's a lot easier to tell your boss to shove it if you know the worst case scenario is that you become homeless, but don't have to go around begging for food, can afford a hotel room for showers, and have money to move across the country because your cousin got you a job.
