It’s extremely difficult to pull off today, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t an appropriate figure. The “wants” and “investment” categories have effectively been wiped out for a large number of people, which isn’t a healthy and sustainable way to live long term.

This is what the entire “living wage” argument is based on. Regular people aren’t making enough money to have a healthy budget. Well, some are just over inflating wants, but that’s not the people I’m talking about.

30% is widely considered to be the most you should pay for a living space in order to live a sustainable lifestyle and retire comfortably. It even says in the article that they consider anyone that has to pay more than that to be “cost burdened”.

It usually breaks down somewhere around 30% on housing, 20% on necessary bills, 30% on wants / unnecessary bills, and 20% on retirement investments / savings.

The fact that nearly half of renters cannot do that is the problem that they are trying to highlight, but it doesn’t offer much of a solution. These people will not be able to retire without public assistance (if they can at all), and will likely run into serious struggles long before then.

Satisfactory isn’t bad either, but factorio wins in my book.

If I translated this correctly, he is transgender and the military withdrew the summons after they found out. Still sucks, but that’s a lot better than conscription.

I mean, I feel for the kid and I hope someone gets him out, but let’s not pretend like the back of his head isn’t the Ukrainian flag though. This kid is either profoundly stupid or was intentionally pushing the boundaries.

I support him if that’s what he was doing, but it’s not hard to see how this happened.

Plus Biden attempted to block any more aid for Israel and the Republicans rammed it through anyway.

It’s currently on a free weekend promotion on steam. You can play it either way.

Well, yea, but we shouldn’t use it for that either.

Google found my day and month of birth in about 3 seconds, and it’s entirely because of this “collect everything” behavior.

Trump has 91 felony allegations across 4 different state and federal cases against him right now. Many of which are directly related to him trying to overthrow our democracy.

Burn him to the ground; I don’t care about his legacy as a president. He was a shitty one anyway and was never actually elected by popular vote.

I would be appalled if he was pardoned, and I’m already rather annoyed at the current state of the prosecution taking this long.

How do you make it to this position and not know how to put on a mask correctly?

Retracted. I was sleepy and apparently pissy this morning. I deserve my downvotes.

That’s… Exactly what I was talking about. Master of the content.

I am fully aware that the windows search hides things that you are actually searching for. Particularly if they are system preference apps, and it always goes to bing first regardless.

Also, I bailed as well. I use windows for work and school, otherwise I’m on linux.

They want you to use the search instead of a functional interface. That’s why they keep making the interface worse.

It lets them spy on you through bing, allows them to fill the results with ads, and lets them hide system applications unless you know exactly how to find them.

It’s also them gearing up towards funneling the entire UX through copilot for largely the same reasons.

The entire goal is to flip the operating system from the slave of the user to the master of the content.

I mean… Yes? I hate this idea and Roku will lose me as a customer over this, but yes they are specifically targeting screensavers. Idle time is ad time to these people.

The grass should be watered already, but depending on the severity and length of your condition you may need to apply supplemental dihydrogen monoxide.

Around here, it’s usually not at a local physical bank. My online high yield savings is currently at 4.5% though; that’s where my emergency funds are.

And religion + racism + fear of the unknown + social echo chambers can all be exploited. Remember that MTG floated a few years ago that space lasers caused California forest fires. Never mind the power requirements and ridiculousness that would require.

I think the woman is dangerous as hell, but I don’t think she’s stupid. I think she uses dumb ideas to mobilize an ignorant base.

No, you don’t. You have to pay a penalty if you pull out earnings early. You can take the money you put in out at any time without penalty.

You are thinking of a traditional IRA, not a Roth IRA.

You can pull money out of your Roth IRA at literally any point. You already paid the taxes on it.

You cannot pull more out than you put in though. If you have and properly use a Roth IRA throughout your whole life, you can live for many many years without ever breaching that cap if you wanted to retire a little earlier. You’re just reducing your potential total.

The whole existence of an abrahamic God is self defeating at its basic premise.

If God is all knowing, all good, and all powerful, then he either designed all of this, including Satan, as some fucked up experiment, or he is not perfect and he messed up somewhere.

There are no other options.
