My favorite thing about this is how many people in the replies are going “why did I cry at the end of Irish SpongeBob? Why did that happen to me?”

I make more money than either of my parents ever did and it all goes to rent, healthcare, and debt
It's unquestionable that young people today are richer than their 1960s counterparts, but the big difference in precarity. A good job requires living in a metro area with a housing shortage. A child requires an even more expensive home in a functional school district. A college degree requires debt.
These Young Adults Make Good Money. But Life, They Say, Is Unaffordable.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.”
Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

The winning argument for Dem leaders could be "they want to fear monger about trans people and trans healthcare because they don't want to talk about why your life isn't as good as it could be and have no plan to make it better" — except that most Dem politicians also have no plan to make it better.

Woke up and my iphone had updated to the new liquid glass stuff and I gotta say, looking at it normally is not a pleasant or comfortable user experience, but looking at it while groggy and sleepy and trying to figure out what the buttons even say is an especially daunting task. What a shit update!

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
