Ganz ehrlich: Der hofft, dass man die Arbeiter mit versteckten Kosten in diese Branchen kriegt. Irgendwer ist immer gerade so qualifiziert aber auch dumm/verzweifelt genug.

Und Leute, die Schulden aufnehmen, sind bekanntlich gut für die Wirtschaft.

Du, sei vorsichtig, feddit.org nimmt potentielle Verstöße deutschen Rechtes sehr ernst.

Mit "Wen interessierts?" ankommen, keine Minute später sich über den Pushback beschweren. 🤔

"Unbewohnbar wegen überfüllten Briefkasten während der Osterferien" kannste dir nicht ausdenken. Gilt auch nur, wenn man Roma abschieben will; füllst du alle Briefkästen im Kiez mit Papiermüll wird das wohl anders bewertet und die Immobilienpreise bleiben gleich.

For once, we shouldn't assume stupidity when malice is a perfectly valid explanation.

Can't harass activists with the threat of jail time for some chalk drawings, better claim it might not have been chalk.

Link him Bill Wurtz's "history of the entire world I guess" and tell him to skip to 2:08

As long as they use practice safe sex, it really is none of my business.

All these savings aside, you should also know where to save, and for that you need an example of monthly expenses you can compare yourself to. Luckily, government assistance programs do just that when they tell you how to live on their pittance.

Here's the one for Germany, rounded to nice numbers (source), so a fairly wealthy central European country:

• 200€ Food and drink (14%)
• 50€ clothes ( 3.5 %)
• 50€ energy
• 50€ transportation (!)
• 50€ communication
• 50€ leisure and culture
• 30€ furniture and appliances
• 20€ medication
• 50€ other

550€ total flexible costs (40%)

To compare to your bill, you also need to consider the costs the agencies just take on outside of that source I gave. These are the regular expenses that depend on location even more so, but just to have them here:

• 500€ rent, no utilities (source being the maximum the local agency covers in a moderately big city)
• 150€ utilities (guess)
• 200€ health insurance (guess)

850€ total inflexible costs (60%)

Making 1,400€ for one person to live one month in a German city in 2025.

Needless to say, unless you buy multiple AAA games a month, these expenses are dominated by inflexible costs, even more so if you're living in a place with a housing and health insurance crisis. Also note that the value for transportation is clearly too low for car ownership, if you need it for work that monthly expense better be covered by the extra income.

Now you should compare those values to your own expenses and reason why you spend more/less in some areas. And then you should be able to tell where you are living above your means, or if you need a more local comparison. And then you can still figure out how you can save 7% of your expenses by cooking at home.

Keep in mind you pay extra for convenience in many situations. It was said here before, but home cooking is the prime example.

Speaking of which, buy the stuff you use a lot off cheap, buy the expensive stuff only if you use it in small amounts. Example: I'm really into curry, so I use a lot of carrots and potatoes, the cheapest veggies here, but that alone is a bit bland. So i use moderate portions of whatever hearty veggies are in season (sweet potato, zucchini, pumpkin, eggplant). There's also this really good curry paste I like, and I didn't even bother comparing its price since I know I will need to buy a new one in half a year at the earliest.

As a consequence of that rule, skip on meat. Too expensive and too big portions. Even if you still want to celebrate the end of a week/month with it, you really need to learn some veggie recipes for the work week.

I find rice to be the perfect balance between work-intensive potatoes and pricey -in- comparison pasta. So I of course use literal 10s of kilos of it and don't buy the minute rice (again, surcharge for convenience), but from the local Asia mart for cheap.

It really is up to him if he wants to smell like roses or not, it's totally understandable to pass on that.

If only he wasn't such a bitch about expressing that preference though.

There are a lot of reasons why old nuclear was profitable, but nowadays:

• Construction is more expensive
• Regulations are in place (EU perspective)
• There is less of a demand for enriched Uranium

As long as these things don't change, I don't think we'll ever see cheap nuclear power again. They are designed to last decades, so they also just turn a profit decades into the future, and investors don't like that. You can blame energy liberalisation once again.

As knowledge of sleep paralysis spread through the internet, people quickly memed on the concept of having your own demon that watches you sleep. Lot's of impact font memes beginning with "My paralysis demon... " changing this rather horrifying concept into just an imaginary friend or room mate.

The joke here is that Debra's demon would rather spend time with that man, and Debra misjudged how close their "friendship" was. Like the awkward situation of realising one's best friend is best friends with someone else.
