i live in a city full of people who grew up in 6000 sq ft designer homes.
they think anything that is older than 10 years old is ancient and shitty and trend-follow is like their sole source of self-esteem.
so yeah, they think anything that isn’t grey or white is shitty and gross. and if the aesthetic changes in another 5-10 years they will hate on grey and white.
one lady i dated, had a beautiful condo, that clearly had been redone like less than ten years ago. but it had like 2000s style, with the light wood floors and trim and marble countertop and she went on and on and about how HORRIBLE it was and how she had to tear it all up and make everything grey and white, including the crappy shiplap stuff. i told her it was a horrible idea nad her home was beautiful and she told me I was a stupid piece of shit who lived in a trashheap.
also she whined insistently about how expensive owning a house was… yeah.

you improve society by improving yourself.
I choose to not be one of the 66% of americans that are overweight/obese, I choose have money rather than be in debt, and etc.
Other folks make other choices. Seen many of my friends over the years become fat indebted miserable people, and I then choose to no longer socialize with them.
Nobody forced them to eat shitty food, spend all they money on stupid crap, and then never take responsibility for their choices.
Who exactly forced my friends to make those choices for them? who forced them to say, spend $15,000 traveling per year, rather than saving it in their bank account?

Yeah, US Government Labor data is all lies, clearly.
I bet the US Census is all lies too.
- Comment on Anon orders food 1 day ago:
Weird. I don’t have any issues with my food, being an asshole, or lots of other common problems people have.
because i choose not to participate in the stupid shit other people do that makes their lives miserable.
weird how that works!

no, you’re just being a typical internet person who can’t let go of the bone, and accuses the other poster of doing everything you are doing thinks their personal experience is a universal truth, when the googled facts of the matter directly contradict you.
because it’s all about your ego, in the end. can’t let anyone question you because that would mean you might be incorrect.
- Comment on Anon orders food 2 days ago:
no, i just think it’s funny watching you climb up this flag pole and show your bum.
- Comment on Anon orders food 2 days ago:
i never agreed to any of your rules. weird.
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 2 days ago:
No. Call me mentally ill, but I typically don’t notice or care about any kitchen countertops, in real life, or in movies.
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 2 days ago:
the progress was the 400% increase in the cost of the house over 30 years.
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 2 days ago:
yeah but if you say this to people they just think you’re an asshole, and worse, you’re probably poor.
this is the aspirational standard that dominates American mindset. you also need a grey luxury car to go with it.
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 2 days ago:
I agree.
but we’re both unpopular. popular opinion is that everything should look like hotel.

systematic problems come from the choices of individuals.
- Comment on Anon orders food 2 days ago:
god i love the internet.
person makes 3rd person statement, then you reply with 3rd person statement, and they think you are personally attacking them.
- Comment on Anon orders food 2 days ago:
Injecting your personal feelings about how English should be written into everything you write is way more selfish than capitalizing “I.” right, so why are you doing that then?
- Comment on Anon orders food 2 days ago:
because they are mad at me for what i said, and don’t have a legit reason to be so, so they make up stupid shit about capitalization and writing style.
when you can’t attack the content of what was said, you go after the style.

Basically nobody has 150K in debt form an undergrad degree. They have like 30-40K of debt, which is easy for them to back back over 10 years with when the starting salary is 50-60K and in 10 years they will most likely double that salary.
but keep telling me how everyone should be a mechanic and college is stupid. Please. because anyone who went to college is a dumb loser or something, or i dunno, maybe you are talking about your own poor choices when you were younger? I definitely have met very dumb folks who have 150K in debt from college, who were very mad about it, who also terrible employees and people in general.
A mechanic making over 100K exists, yes, but they are rare, and would be in highly specialized areas and likely late in their careers. There are bicycle mechanics who make over 100K a year, but for every 1 of them, there are about 1000s of them making 30K a year with the top end wage being about 45K after decades of experience. Should I tell folks to go be a bike mechanic because it’s a good career path because like .01% of professional race mechanics make good money? Becuase yeah, they have about a 1/10000 change of that career path, and a 99999/10000 change of working 40 hours a week in some crappy bike shop making 20 bucks an hour for the rest of their life.
Oh my life is the dream life. I get mad other very dumb people tell me that I’m the richest bastard in the world, or that i’m a poor piece of shit. of which there a lot of on lemmy. Instead the boring fact that I’m in the 85th percentile of income and the 90th percentile of asset wealth. I even was a landlord for a few years, which you know, makes me capitalist hyper scum.
But i prefer facts, statistics and reality, to emotional reasoning, which makes folks very mad. but they tend to respond to that stuff wtih ‘u mad bro? lolz i so smart u dumb because anecdote anecdote anecdote’.

vast majority of tech workers have bachelors degrees. vast majority of Bachelors holders come from parents who were bachelors holders.
the myth of the self made tech worker is just that, a myth. very few tech workers don’t hold degrees.
- Comment on Anon is 23 2 days ago:
the average mechanic wage is 50K a year.
that’s not a livable wage unless you live in bumfucksville parts of the USA.
- Comment on Anon is 23 2 days ago:
the vast majority of people who work in tech came from wealthy households, yes.
they don’t believe that, of course. they all think they are poor because their folks only rented a house every two weeks on the beach, and didn’t own a beach front home.
- Comment on Anon orders food 2 days ago:
right, everyone is just helpless victims.
- Comment on Anon orders food 2 days ago:
people love to look down on other people.

what’s peak American is the fact you think you are better than the delivery driver.
- Comment on Anon orders food 2 days ago:
they are lazy and entitled.

- Comment on Anon is 23 2 days ago:
unless it’s like written in the job description, which it almost always is.
but it’s true that many candidates, can’t frickin’ read, or don’t bother to.

easiest way to get a job is to have daddy hire you at his company or call a friend to get you job at theirs.
- Comment on Anon is 23 2 days ago:
i work in IT. it’s so easy, just get a six figure job like me.
it’s not that the vast majority of positions in the field… are part time contract work that pay shit…
