I have enough in my emergency fund that if I lost my job I’d be ok for about a year.

I’m nearly to my goal, after that I’m going to change my focus to expanding my portfolio.

Still no way I can buy a house though. Need to make about 3x more money for that to happen.

I credit it to having a property owner that’s kept rent cheap and having low overhead, and being frugal borderline cheap.

And music, TV, Movies, Books, thoughts

Betteridge’s law of headlines. Any headline that ends with a question the answer is always no.

Sure I can answer that for you.

A regular guy, and you don’t have to.

I did watch the video. It’s why I asked. Anyone can say they are a consultant, and he doesn’t really mention much to back that claim. He doesn’t say anything novel either.

I’m not trying to be hypercritical, but if someone says that they are a credible source I want to know why.

Who is this guy and why should I care what he says?

Edit: Since no one could answer it. He’s an indie developer and made a few games. Silver Falls, Clasherball, and Animelee. He also says he’s a consultant, based on the video, but I couldn’t find anything of him doing that.

So he’s slightly a step above a regular guy making some video complaining.

There’s literally dozens of us

Macroeconomics 101 would tell you no, prices won’t go down because prices are sticky. Like your salary for example, just because a business is doing poorly your wage won’t go down.

I won’t get into the weeds about it, but if Ukraine was magically restored tomorrow, prices wouldn’t go down but it would help prices from going up faster.

If we see prices go down that’s a bad thing, and we are in for a rough time.

I agree. I typically skip sex scenes in movies. Those scenes very seldom add anything to the story imo.

Unless it makes sense. In “What Women Want” with Mel Gibson, I believe that is a great example of a sex scene adding to the movie. The whole premise is him reading women’s minds, so him having sex with Marisa Tomei and hearing their thoughts while in the act added to the premise.

So when I see a movie that is just like “hey these people are hot and we should film them go at it” is just boring imo.

No one reads the articles man. I won’t lie, I’m guilty of it, but it’s mainly cuz Im lazy and go to the comments hoping someone will give a synopsis.

Never said it didn’t, but reddit is more left leaning than right as a whole.

Lemmy is just straight lefty though. I’m a liberal person so it doesn’t bother me other than it just being a massive circle jerk most of the time.

Look I understood that when I made that comment no one would like it, but it’s just the truth…

I’ve been here since the API garbage from reddit, and use it daily so I feel like I can make an honest assessment of my experience thus far.

I like it, its great. Better than reddit in a lot of ways. If someone is/was a heavy Reddit user I recommend it.

Welcome to Lemmy! If you thought Reddit was left leaning, you’re in for a wild ride!

Also if you’re an American you probably shouldn’t be, because they automatically assume you’re from the Bible belt. They will simultaneously say they don’t care for American politics but then will always be talking about it.

Linux is the best OS just don’t get into it. You better be using firefox. All the niche subs you had on Reddit aren’t here, and you’ll more likely just be blocking communities instead of subbing to anything.

And no one reads the articles, way more than reddit imo

The comments are slightly more interesting though.

It’s not all that bad though, I’m being a little sarcastic, but only a little…

So that’s why my work laptop is down for the count today. I’m even getting that same error as the thumbnail picture

Yeah the last two were done by Taika Waititi, and if you’ve seen any of his other movies its on par with that directing style.

Imo Thor Ragnarok was the best standalone Thor movie, even if they completely changed the character.

The Love and Thunder one just felt like a repeat of Ragnarok in a lot of ways.

I recently decided to rewatch all the Marvel movies, because I’m boring, and after Guardians it took a pretty big turn.

Going from the more gritty drama with some funny one liners ever so once in awhile, to let’s see how many one liners and nonchalant comedy we can put in.

Then after Endgame they ramped that shit up

6 one way, a half dozen the other.

Any battle royale games. They all look so toxic.

Most survival builder games. They’re all the same. Only exception is Project Zomboid, but it has to be with friends.

Soulsborne games. If the game is hard, just to be hard it’s not that fun for myself. I play games to escape the stress from my life. Not add to it.

Horror games. I have enough anxiety about mundane shit as it is, I don’t need a game to give me more.

Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who’s a cop.

Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.

It’s fairly insane that from Romford to Sutton which is only 30 miles, it’s roughly an hour and 45 minutes.

I just went to the Wiltern in downtown LA last night and it’s about the same distance as Romford to Sutton from where I live, and without traffic, it takes 40 minutes, with traffic an hour.

A titanium one is a little much, but the right one can be stimulating for both parties.
