Is this like, taking the power out of the word or something?

You have a point that there's a huge difference in the life of a minimum wage family and a family able to invest 6 figures. Context matters though and I think the point was that they didn't have an overwhelming amount that can force success; we're talking about a financial-secure and supported start that enables pursuit of things that are unlikely to pan out. Still no small luxury, by any means.

even if mathematically their finances are closer to minimum wage earners than to the 0.0000001% of ultra wealthy.

FWIW 0.1% is already 38 million dollars (net worth, US, 2012 data).

E: Speaking of context, you were specifically talking about commonality between the, idk, bottom 1-10%, top 1-10%, and (whatever is ultra-wealthy). So my point may be the one made out-of-context.

Why the torture?

I wonder how light-handed you'll have to be to keep that market, election, and war info accurate.

You're just throwing shit at the wall man. You slap together strawmen in the form of a rhetorical question assigning a obviously weak position to the other commenter, over and over again. Why?

They weren't defending the targeting of civilians in WWII.

They weren't arguing that Hamas is not antisemitic.

They weren't claiming Hamas is brave or pure in spirit.

They don't claim Hamas has justification.

They don't justify acts of destruction and terrorizing Jewish communities.

On and on and on. Do you always operate this way?

I miss forums. Not that they disappeared completely but that used to be the go-to for good info. Still is maybe, cause I've read through a lot of garbage trying to learn about something pretty simple and then hit a forum post that's like "well it depends if it's early- or late-season blight". What? The twenty garden blog posts I studied never mention such a distinction. But there's Jimmy in Mt Carmel Indiana breaking it down.

Shit I'm sorry man. I'm sure you're not that bad. It'll pass.

[-] reptar@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Holy shit.

Even if Covenant Eyes is honest in their (batshit) intentions, all that eavesdropping and compromised devices makes them a juicy target.

I went from routinely missing to never. You absolutely should set that up.

I can relate on the losing awareness aspect. So, I also put them all on my calendar in red (recurring, of course) then switch to green with the title appended w/ "DONE" when I've paid it, or verified auto pay is scheduled.

I agree, but can't figure out why. Maybe because it wasn't wildly adopted?

You ever try to convince your dog(s) that you're a dog too?

Never fucking works

[-] reptar@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

30's are where I realized it's not about losing, say, the physical strength to deadlift and shuffle something maxing your muscles out, it's when doing that carries serious risk of fucking you up.

Or yeah, like you said, jolts to your body giving suck. It helps if you give yourself a second to plan before doing though

It gets worse.

It could get better though ;-)
