- Comment on Is there a point to a dedicated ip from Nord VPN? Does it make a difference in like download/torrenting/surfing etc? It always ask me to do one but know nothing about it. 20 hours ago:
It’s useful if you are hosting services (webserver, game server, etc). Otherwise it doesn’t really matter.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 3 days ago:
Maintenance isn’t too difficult or too expensive
Are you joking? Getting quality contractors (or doing it yourself) is quite a bit of work and often quite expensive. It’s exponentially worse if other people are tearing your shit up because they don’t care about other people’s stuff.
You shouldn’t take this as ‘don’t buy your own home’, but I can’t fathom where you thought properly maintaining a home isn’t difficult or expensive. Go lookup prices on how much installing a new roof, AC, kitchen cabinets, or flooring is.
- Comment on Upcoming Changes to XBOX Cloud Gaming [time limits] 6 days ago:
5 hours of gameplay…a month. 10 hours…a month.
What even is this service for?
- Comment on What is the best and worst USA state to live in? And why? 1 week ago:
That’s great that you are happier than Kuwait and Saudi Arabia
Also half of Europe, you seemed to have deliberately missed that point.
- Comment on What is the best and worst USA state to live in? And why? 1 week ago:
Americans assume everyone is as miserable as them or worse
Americans are happier than half of Europeans, and vastly happier than most of the world. Why do you feel the need to make things up? It undermines any point you were making.
- Comment on What is the best and worst USA state to live in? And why? 1 week ago:
Completely unrelated anti-America shit will be brought up all the time and massively upvoted. The America-hate here is exhausting.
- Comment on What is the best and worst USA state to live in? And why? 1 week ago:
it seems like a decent place than many other places in the world
It 100% is. Which is why the US constantly has problems with people immigrating illegally as even that idea is preferable to staying the country they currently are.
- Comment on What is the best and worst USA state to live in? And why? 1 week ago:
Everything very much so depends on your personal preferences, but quite a number of people really like purple states. These states have moderate politics and thus moderate policies. You don’t get the extremes of lots or little assistance, lots or little taxes, lots or little x, y, and z. Obviously every state in the group is different, and even within the state there is large variation.
New Hampshire, Arizona, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Maine, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Minnesota (Note, I have not specifically investigated every one of these states. Researching thousands of laws in dozens of states is quite a lot of work for a comment like this)
- Comment on Behold, "the whole story of Steam's economy in one picture": the top 1% of games earn 84.5% of estimated revenue, and most games barely make anything 2 weeks ago:
It’s also just the fact that some games are better than others. For every Factorio and Hollow Knight, there are a thousand other games that aren’t nearly as good that significantly less people buy.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 3 weeks ago:
You get a pension in retirement (called Social Security), but you need to be of retirement age as well as had a job in the past (you get full benefits if you were employed for at least 10 years).
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 3 weeks ago:
AND they rejected a intergrated multigenerational house hold
If he was living at home, paying a portion of all the bills, and overall carrying his weight, then sure. But, that is not the case, not at all.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 3 weeks ago:
The dude is 38 and never got off his ass. How long are you going to enable this?
His parents are almost certainly 65+ and cannot afford to support themselves and a leech.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 3 weeks ago:
Something tells me they have been trying to get him out for the last decade, and he instead decided to sit on his ass instead.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 3 weeks ago:
We do, there are plenty of programs to help you get a job.
- Comment on How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? 3 weeks ago:
am a developer with a few big projects under my belt
I’ve got quite a bit of experience with Linux and I manage a home server, , but that probably doesn’t differentiate me much
It 100% does if you target small companies. Think 10-30 man shows where an ‘IT department’ is a luxurious dream. In that company you wear many hats and having IT/devops experience as a programmer is a big deal.
- Comment on How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? 3 weeks ago:
You are WAY better off keeping that job than going to college. You know what is more valuable than someone with one year of experience? Someone with five years of experience. Plus, you won’t have a house payment worth of debt on the other end.
- Comment on Netflix to shut down two game studios: Night School and Moonloot 3 weeks ago:
I think the real reason is nobody plays Netflix games. Vast majority of people don’t even know they exist; and those who do often don’t have a device that can run them.
- Comment on Anon follows the rules 3 weeks ago:
Usually those two things are a day apart. The statement has always been: don’t do shit that might get you kids out of wed-lock.
Once you are married, that obviously isn’t an issue.
- Comment on Absolutely 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, fast food used to be fast and cheap, now it is neither. No reason to waste money there, so now 99% of my food comes from the grocery store. So. Much. Cheaper.
- Comment on Absolutely 5 weeks ago:
Burger parts cost ~$2 at the grocery store.
Don’t spend $25 for a burger.
- Comment on Men are generous 5 weeks ago:
That’s not surprising. People may be open to an idea in their head, then in practice realize that long-term, committed relationships don’t mesh with having sex with others.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 1 month ago:
Yeah, switching to PC is a significantly more effective boycott strategy. You can still play games and give Sony $0.
- Comment on Why are Pokemon Showdown Moderators SO against the discussion of "Eating Pokemon"? 1 month ago:
Meanwhile in Palworld, you can butcher your pals with a cleaver and feed them to others.
- Comment on Being poor is expensive 1 month ago:
That’s not true if you have bad enough credit
Lots of banks specifically cater to people with bad credit and banking histories as well. Here is a Forbes article about them with a list.
- Comment on Being poor is expensive 1 month ago:
When you’re too poor to have an account, you have to go to a check cashing place and pay to get paid.
Use that check to open a bank account. Virtually every bank will give you a free account if you deposit your paycheck with them.
- Comment on Being poor is expensive 1 month ago:
Are you saying that someone could actually be so poor that a bank will refuse them from opening a checking account?
Most banks only require a nominal initial deposit (something on the order of $20) in order to open a free account.
If you really don’t have any money other than your paycheck, you can open that bank account…with the check you need to deposit.
- Comment on Does Lemmy have a self-promo page for things like Go Fund Me? 1 month ago:
They do. At the very top of this page, click the heart.
- Comment on Why does dried pasta have an expiration date 1 month ago:
Shelf-stable food is almost permanently good to eat. The dates mean nothing.
Dried food can go bad if it gets wet, regardless of the date.
Canned food can go bad if the packaging is pierced, regardless of the date.
- Comment on Is the Switch 2 a waste of money? 2 months ago:
The cheaper games easily make up for that. Particularly since games that you have owned for decades just work, no repurchase required. Have you seen how expensive Nintendo games are? Even on sale they are extremely expensive.
- Comment on When will the all white home with grey floors trend be over? 2 months ago:
That shit annoys me (as it is real easy to avoid, the covers come off easily). At least swapping out an outlet and outlet cover is an easy and cheap fix if you are the owner. $10, 5-min job per outlet.
