I'm in my forties making nearly 200k and shit is too expensive

[-] rangber@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Something about stepping on your own group to get ahead, to be one of the boys, feels disgusting.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 15 points 6 hours ago

Define 'real job', Jesse. Does that include sitting on you arse in front of a camera spewing lies to idiots?

[-] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 7 hours ago

I have a "real job" making almost $100k/year and things are still expensive. Should I also be sent to Cuba or Iran for stating the obvious?

[-] YoureHotCupCake@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Well have you considered getting a real job where you put on make up and then sit in a room full of cameras while you just lie for an hour or two a day to a camera? Now that's a real American job.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 13 points 7 hours ago

"yes", fascists, unironically, probably.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Quit being so entitled and thank Daddy Trump for what you do have!

[-] cockmushroom@reddthat.com 6 points 5 hours ago

Bro reads lies from a teleprompter and calls it a real job. Is it comodity fetishism yet when you equate income with reality?

They can’t afford food because they were born with silver spoons in their mouths. K.

It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to make right wing boomers tut with disapproval as their biases are confirmed.

Said the same week as RFK once again floats the idea of institutionalizing the disabled.

These are not off-the-cuff comments. Somewhere behind the veneer of stupidity, more and more members of the current government are pushing the need to imprison or conscript larger and larger swathes of the US population.

Legal slavery

[-] bjorney@lemmy.ca 14 points 9 hours ago

Yeah Gen Z just needs to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and find a 65 year old billionaire to marry

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 31 points 10 hours ago

like there is jobs everywhere and everyone is hiring....

but basically these conservatives are just assholes

Absolutely. And you can pay for a bachelor's degree working a minimum wage job in the summers and you can buy a house and support a wife and kids with an entry-level job.

Or, wait, was that 80 years ago?

Something something avocado toast

[-] Today@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

I saw avocado toast on a menu for $17 the other day! Wtf! Who pays that?!

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I just was at a hotel and the horrible 'Continental' breakfast with powdered eggs was 40 fucking dollars. It was included with my stay, but the food was too disgusting to eat. I don't know why you would pay for it.

[-] GuiltyFrost@pawb.social 1 points 3 hours ago

I think hotels like that are just banking on enough business travelers coming through who can expense any food to their company.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

I was about to correct you, but no, it really has been 80 years. Time is cruel.

[-] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I mean, it wasn't that long ago the the Simpsons represented the bottom of the middle class--a high-school educated father with a stable job (with dental plan) and a house, two cars, two kids, and a SAH wife.

Just a few years earlier Billy Joel was positively bitching "who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?" Like, yeah, that sounds pretty good relative to paying 60% of your income in rent, Anthony.

If you're having trouble finding a job, have you tried just going into the company directly and asking? I'm sure they'd take one look at you and immediately see what an intelligent and capable person you are and hire you right away. /s

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I think you replied to the wrong comment, but yeah, this advice just keeps getting worse every decade.

[-] lukaro@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

Some conservatices can appear decent, but absolutly every last republican is a fucking asshole after too much taco bell.

[-] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago

I don't think any of these assholes have ever had to dumpster dive for groceries before.

[-] decolo@piefed.social 20 points 10 hours ago

Had to? no ... but I am certain that RFK Jr has done it for fun

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 hours ago

Why would he need to dumpster dive when there's an abundance of roadkill to be found on his daily commute?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Not much raccoon penis in dumpsters, is there?

[-] decolo@piefed.social 5 points 9 hours ago

I have to admit I was assuming dumpsters contained maybe more dead animals than was realistic

[-] Triumph@fedia.io 8 points 9 hours ago

Oh, they'll go to war. Just not the one you think.
