Almost 1 in 4 millennials and Gen Z-ers say they won't have kids due to finances
  • White, married, make ~$160k/yr combined (pretax). No kids, vasectomy. Climate change and the complete lack of pro-natal infrastructure in our society is why. No nearby family to rely on, and by the time we finish our 8 hour days, neither of us has the energy to prepare a meal and care for a child. I don't really love being alive and I'd have a lot of regret bringing in someone to a worse world and make them deal with that feeling every day

  • Can anyone think of any formerly declared "nonpolitical" influencers/grifters that somehow remained vaguely "nonpolitical" over time, or do they all tend to ride the chud slide?
  • Thinking of some of the counte- strike streamers I follow. They attempt to be non political but fail. WarOwl is a conservative but knows that being a conservative cuts his audience in half, so he stays closeted but leaks things like his Ronald Reagan calendar and sponsored videos he did with the marine corps. Fl0m does a better job avoiding politics and I think he himself is likely a moderate, but he plays on a team with a frothing chud (Cooper) and his brother (freakazoid), so he is in that sphere of influence.

    It ultimately leads to a ratchet effect that left leaning things are "political" but discussing current events with a conservative slant isn't. Literally just a mirror of life in the US

  • Sorry fellow millennials, I hated Goof Troop and A Goofy Movie as a kid.
  • We had the Disney channel on tv, so I watched that probably 50 times. Not because I liked it but because what else was I going to do? Also saw Johnny Tsunami, Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, Smart House, Hocus Pocus. It was bad, but it was content

  • Seven-story building on the Great Highway to house homeless people. Neighbors are pissed
  • I've lived in that neighborhood, right by Other Avenues grocery co-op. the absolute farthest edge of the city, literally abutting the ocean, is an interesting choice of location to put your low income housing. It's almost as if they want these residents to be as far away and out of sight as possible.

  • screeches
  • Edgy humor has a butt to the joke, and/or the joke is made due to someone's misfortune, at their expense. It's inherently problematic in the sense that there's a risk of offense to those who have been victims of similar misfortune. The solution, of course, is to be funny enough that the humor overpowers the offense and/or doesn't focus the humor on being mean to the victims

  • When was the last time you felt like you got your money's worth for an item?

    I'm looking over a new pair of shoes I recently bought. My feet hurt after walking a few miles in them, so I inspected the insole area, and it was the cheapest 5mm foam imaginable with no other structural support. Below that is basically just the rubber sole. This shit cost $100.

    This isn't my first rodeo with overpriced, shitty shoes, so I always have a set of superfeet inserts on standby. Huge improvement, but fuck, why does everything have to be a rip off? Those inserts are $50 for some nicer foam and a simple sliver of molded plastic.

    This brings me to the thread title: When was the last time you felt like you got your money's worth for an item?

    How This Tiny Dutch Restaurant is Keeping Wendy's Out of Europe
    www.thrillist.com How This Tiny Dutch Restaurant is Keeping Wendy's Out of Europe

    It’s fast food’s greatest David and Goliath story. You can’t get a Frosty in Europe, thanks (or no thanks) to this Dutch hole-in-the-wall.

    How This Tiny Dutch Restaurant is Keeping Wendy's Out of Europe

    >This is what Wendy’s looks like in Europe: A hole-in-the-wall chippie run by some brute Dutch sailors with a serious case of stick-it-to-the-man-itis. It’s the reason a certain billion-dollar, red-headed American fast food chain has been kicked off the continent.

    Overall a fun read that I stumbled across while researching access to hot cheetos in Europe.

    I especially liked the bit about angry reviews the Dutch Wendy's received from Treat Enjoyers:

    >“I would like to order a triple in the Netherlands on YOU that is not possible?!? Seriously?!! I appreciate the fact that you use the name of your daughter but also give progress a place, please. I have nothing to do with Wendy's but what you do is selfish. Simple. If you can put out something similar to Wendy's, please go ahead. Until you can put a decent American hamburger on my table, just please sit on the side. Please go find a hobby or something like that.”
