Yeah this does prove a failing point for the fediverse that is an important part of larger adoption. This still mostly exists in large part by communal effort even if the community doesn't appreciate it or recognize it

Those are just reasonable people and I have never met one that has been rich that way through frugality alone and anywhere near the level of wealth of those that aim to show it off even if the frugal person's bank account is far more in the green than the consumerist.

Martini glasses:

Art deco French cocktail ware from the 1920s designed to be dumb but bold and it's ease of breaking showed a wealth during a terrible time.

Wealthy people love to break their stuff almost on purpose to make sure it stays special and then regular people buy into it

Yeah there is no point in eating, you will just shit it out later so best to not bother at all.

Think this will upset The Turd enough to actually get police reform?

Oh yeah there are. I just went a Jewish funeral in America and the sentiment of those attending do not match what we would prefer. Very much pro-Israel.

Funny enough it was the older man they didn't want to invite because he was an A-hole racist and Trump supporter (apparently not anymore) who spent the whole time "bringing down the mood" by talking about how bad things have gotten.

Lots of people want their chance at being American™ before the country collapses into a different culture

This feels like ByteDance going out of their way to paint the outgoing president and party as truly awful and give the victory to Trump in a week

And now if you open the app it blocks you and thanks incoming Trump for saving it in the near future.

Holy shit insert your own conspiracy here.

So weird. Is YouTube trying to make their own world wide something that isn't a web to connect people?

Cause that link worked for me.

I just want to point out that the attempt to compare medical costs in a direct comparison in US dollars isn't exactly easy as it does ignore purchasing power and base wages.

The point would probably be better made with hours of labor at a base pay to pay off treatment which I do think American healthcare would probably still lose quite handedly.
