It wasn't "brain washing"! They believed in naziism just like magas do. Stop denying their agency. They picked it. You all picked it.

$4500 was in my head because that was the projected mortgage+taxes+fees for a 2BR apartment in brooklyn I saw the other day.

There are some apartments in NYC that are that expensive to rent. Average here is $3,650, but that's skewed by a lot of stupid expensive places. Median is a little lower.

Other parts of the country can be much cheaper, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

You are also missing private retirement funds

Good call.

(and if car dependent 100/month seems very low for transit costs)

That's a good point. I rely on mass transit, which is much cheaper.

Don’t blame the tool, blame the user 😁

I compare it to snapshot tests a lot. They're similarly constrained by "good if used wisely" but most people don't do that. It's easier to use them extensively. That's just how people are. They do the easy thing

I believe that really depends on where you live. Also did you mean net or gross?

Some napkin math I did now, if your gross is 100k....

After tax 75k

• housing 2500
• food: 250
• Internet 100
• phone: 40
• health: 200
• transit: 100
• utilities: 200

Edit: I fucked up and did 4500 for housing not 2500. Cheaper housing gives a lot more room!

~~That leaves you with like $860/mo for fun or any other thing.~~

Of course that's a lot of assumptions that can change it. But I'd say 200k gross is the start of "don't have to think too hard about money"

Good. Great, even. Fuck these rich asshole climate criminals.

This physically hurt my stomach

Paying more money for better results doesn't fit into the world view of many business decision makers.

How do you feel about people who refuse to use ride-share like Uber because it's exploiting labor? I don't want to give them any money because fuck them, but some of my friends say the drivers need money so refusing to use it is only hurting them.

Do you use either of them on android? The syncing between android and desktop is nice in vanilla Firefox

Firefox has been fine. I've thought about switching to one of the cooler forks but I haven't gotten off my ass yet.

They won't.

Many of them are stupid. Many are poorly informed.

But many of them are operating with stupid axioms. They would rather suffer and die personally if it meant those people got it worse.

If you offered free health care, guns, and hamburgers to everyone but it meant that black people got it too, a lot of Americans would say no

The Confederacy should have been burned to the ground, its leaders and supporters hanged and their bodies left to rot in the sun.

I used to have a stupidly large beard. One time a pack of girls was walking by in Manhattan, dressed like they were going to a club or something. After we passed each other, one of them said something like "I want a man with a big ol beard like that! Rwar!"

I choose to believe it was about me and that made me happy.

On the other hand, one time I was in an elevator and it stopped on a lower floor before the lobby. Door opened and a woman looked at me and the mega beard. She turned around and took the stairs.
