Why not do that? Because of inflation, you lose money doing that. It’s the last resort of someone who has no other options for saving their money, such as low level drug dealers.

You mean by investing the stock market? Or literal cash under the mattress?

There are millions of people in the U.S. whose wealth comes from the increase in the property value of their family home. This is unearned wealth.

Of course, you’ll have a hard time convincing most people of that last bit. Which is why billionaires are the more popular enemy rather than the middle class.

Too broad. Wealth hoarder describes everyone with a mortgage as well as grandma Sally and her pension plan. Anyone who saves for retirement is a wealth hoarder.

FTFY

There’s a ton of functionality in Photoshop that even pros never use. Every user of Photoshop needs something different from it. Sure, there’s a core of features that everyone uses (and which the Gimp also has) but there’s also countless other niche features that are a crucial part of the workflow for tons of users and they won’t give them up. This is one of the reasons Photoshop is so hard to replace.

It’s also the reason Latex is tough to replace as well. It’s a phenomenon which is not limited to commercial software, that’s for sure.

He probably made a lot more than that on the video. Plus he basically told the world it’s not worth it. Kind of a bad deal overall for the sellers. No wonder they didn’t want him filming inside the cafe!

I prefer to think of the creator of the meme as an American and all the awkwardness and sexual undertones are fully intended!

Ideology is one of those words that has become almost useless due to how many different (and contradictory) definitions people have for it. If you have to define a word for someone (and they already knew that word beforehand) then the word isn’t conveying enough meaning!

Reminds me of Mirror’s Edge. I kind of love the concrete and ambient light, flat colours and shadows look!

Is this at a hotel? Just hang a “do not disturb” tag on the pipe to keep the water running!

More like Chinese chef knives!

That’s what grandma’s house looked like in the 90’s. Exact same way it looked in the 50’s when she and grandpa first moved in!

Pretty funny! But the reason so many people need glasses is because we spend all our time indoors, reading. People in the past were outside working all the time and they didn’t need glasses as a result.

I hate to spoil a good consciousness raising party but it’s still useful to understand why companies do this stuff:

• raising prices leads to more backlash than anything else

• when costs go up, wholesale prices (per unit of product) must go up to match or the product becomes unprofitable

• redesigning the package to fit the smaller amount of product requires very expensive retooling whereas dialing down the amount of product is basically free

You might say “why do they have to be profitable at all?” But then why would they even bother making the product if they weren’t?

My front right burner has only two temperatures: off and hotter than the surface of the sun!!! Therefore it is relegated to boiling water and pasta cooking duties.

Whataboutism

Too samey and zero trees. I would go crazy without trees and grass!

Yeah honestly. The Google ad-based search system created a set of incentives that just destroyed the internet! I miss the days when people created their own fun little quirky websites like Ian’s Shoelace Site. That used to be every site on the internet!

It’s called Plenty of Fish! I thought it was a fishing site?!
