I’ve been incredibly broke before and I think it’s different kind of protective. I’m frugally protective at trying to keep something working but that’s a different kind of possesive.

Of course you will care about food when you are starving. And you won’t care about scraps and leftovers when you are not.

But like that was a change of not being afraid to lose something you can rebuy. I’m sure their is plenty of non disposable items that you would have and ideals that you hold onto as truths about yourself. And im sure you don’t viewing housing and transportation as disposable.

Yeah I think they misunderstood what was happening cause they were getting wealthier as they got older.

Honestly, you just become more protective of your stuff and things you consider yours as you get older.

There are plenty of nerds that are super conservative about their fandoms and what is allowed to happen with them and same for all kinds of niches but the idea we would get more conservative with money really assumed we would accumulate more of it and assets. But what people do have is their apps and thoughts and those… Those people will be just as conservative as the boomers are about their money as they get older.

Seconded

Interesting. I think that does seem like a legit way to get stuff that looks like this.

Nope the others aren’t AI generated either. Same weird filter on all of them to make it feel that way. Seriously don’t know why or how they did it.

The sleeping face tied up in twine is iconic

I don’t actually think a single of these photos are AI generated which is insane.

The truck one is one of the only ones that I know is real cause I have seen that photo before.

Don’t know what level of compression they went through to make the photo look like that but it didn’t always.

Absurd fake crunch? Dude the bed is meant to support the weight you aren’t supposed to put a pallet on the bare aluminum frame like that. It’s exactly how it crunches when people put heavy things across the top of their bed like that.
Trucks aren’t magical. They still have limits.

Oh I usually block the ads via a pihole and don’t even bother logging in. Tubi is great

But everyone that agrees with me on one thing must agree with me on all other things or else they are morally wrong and inferior! /s

Yeah but if they double the price and only lose 1/3 of their customers that is a profit. They are aiming for that equilibrium price and honestly more people are willing to pay to never have their entertainment end than we could ever hope for.

So this has been true of YouTube Red since the beginning. It’s one if the reasons I got it. But they use watch time as the way to divide your money out. It actually makes it extremely unfair split for people that make great but short content. It’s also why longer content became more popular around that time and those 24/7 streams run like that.

Also why creators started doing channels of just padded run time content of like building legos and eating things. It’s to secure better and funding.

The current setup is pretty busted and feels like the wheels are coming off again.

I’m thinking same logic as the saw blade collars in wild wild west.

Oh so like those dog collars where they have to put the stakes in the ground to set the boundary zone?

This is phenomenal, best shit I’ve seen all day and now I need a special of just Carl getting transported through all the cartoon network shows.

“I ain’t saying there’s nothing wrong with that. I am down with the Lesbians!”

But uhhh, you keep saying some shit about not being women but hippy dippy light, I am pretty sure that big one is just two midgets stacked on top of each other and the little guy over here keeps saying he is his own mother or some shit."

To bad for you, it’s all just grammatical nonsense!

This exceeding trifling witling, considering ranting criticizing concerning adopting fitting wording being exhibiting transcending learning, was displaying, notwithstanding ridiculing, surpassing boasting swelling reasoning, respecting correcting erring writing, and touching detecting deceiving arguing during debating.

That’s really not on point about if you have an issue just breaking off and making anothered fractured community.

How many times do you do that before it’s just 1 person. Exactly as humans and the internet intended when it joined people together over distances not needed to be traveled?

Everyone gets what they want as long as it’s being alone so you can never wrong?

No I don’t love it here but I compromise because that’s the point. This is where people are.
But sure you got me. I live in a society so how could I be such a hypocrite.

Oh good fractured and king of your own personal hole in the ground.

Exactly the way a social species likes it.
