    When I lived with my grandparents for a while I had to use the bathroom without heated floors whenever the maid was cleaning the other one. My current bathroom straight up doesn’t have heating.

    The ice maker stopped working and When I make Sodastream I pour it over ice so I wouldn’t make Sodastream soda and was “forced” to drink the Cokes in the fridge. It took 2 days before the ice machine was fixed.

    My local supermarket keeps the dark beers in the cooler!

    C’mon guys, the darks are brewed to taste best at room temperature… and I want it now.

    My friend is a multi-multi-multi-millionaire. Her father started a retail giant in my country. She has her own pool building with (i think it’s called) a free span roof. It is big enough to contain 6 copies of the house I used to own, exterior, roof, chimney and all. She spends more money per month heating the building and pool (which has not been used in 3 years) and paying maintenance and upkeep, than most people pay on their mortgage per year. She complained that the cost of natural gas went up 1.2%. She was spitting mad, tearing up the bill, balling it up and throwing it down in a huff. She also has a 30 car single span roof garage with row after row of industrial racking which contains mostly packrat stuff. She keeps that “Quonset” as she calls it, a balmy 20C all year through our -25C winters. And also complains about that cost.

    The motorcycle I bought to zip around and have fun on is broken, so I have to drive my car instead while I wait for the part to arrive.

    Get those little pressure lines on your fingers carrying bags of groceries into the house.

      and no one is willing to face facts about it

      What do you mean by this? I think a lot of people can see that things aren’t right with many teen boys.

        Yes but they stop at that instead of seeing them as the cultural mine canary they are, and the proof of it is still the fact no one is doing anything about it

        And you are proof yourself not realizing that the teenage boys during Gamergate are about to hit their 30s soon and they didn’t stop being easily swayed misogynistic tools

        And their indoctrinating a whole new generation through tate and rogan and the like

        While everyone seems to just tut tut and say 'wow teen bois amirite

        You really have no fucking clue how bad or deep this problem is and it’s so well known that Chinese aristocrats wrote about it a thousand years ago, they called it ‘The Bare Brances problem’, and it resulted in numerous bandit uprisings resulting in entire villages getting raped and pillaged

        And it all started with socially disenfranchised young men who had no future

        Just like now

        You really, really don’t know how bad it’s going to get. I’ve spent the last year prepping a remote cabin because our family has survived two dictators and they passed down their tips

        If you aren’t doing something to secure your family’s safety now, it is likely too late unless you are wealthy enough to drop and go at a moments notice.

    I don’t know what’s the most first world problem I’ve experienced, but the most recent was when I tried to use my roasting pan on my relatively new stove today and found that the roasting pan is not induction compatible.

    So I put it in the Goodwill pile and ordered a fancy brand pan to replace it.

    I have a weird relationship with numbers. I like some more than others.

    I don’t like # 9.

    My current phone is a Pixel Pro 9. I’m seriously considering trying to sell it and get the Pixel Pro 10. 🙄
