Nah, I meant the banks are the scam. They hold your money in a low interest rate savings account. Then they loan out your savings account (on paper at least) to someone at a higher interest rate and so on. Every bank for the longest time was a big old house of cards that only held up as long as no one moved too much money at once. I get what you are saying about wealthy people wealth acquisition, though.
Gen Z has a basic competence issue apparently because everyone complains about their ability to do everything. Weaponized incompetence or whatever they are calling it. The good news when it comes to being able to cook is that anyone can figure it out for themselves. If you can make instant ramen noodles then you can cook.
I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn to cook get a hold of the Fannie Farmers CookbookFannie Farmer Cookbook find a used copy somewhere because $50 for a book first published in 1869 is friggin ridiculous.
This book is basically a reference book as well as a recipe book. It explains just about everything from measuring to prepping to storing things in your pantry. It is stuffed with recipes for basic things and then a bunch of recipes that build on those basics.
My mom was a lifelong food lover and taught herself to cook because her mom couldn’t. She had a library full of cookbooks from all over the world and through the ages. The only cookbook she gave me when I moved out was the Fannie Farmer Cookbook which is a tome to be sure. She told me it was the only one I would ever really need. Everything else is just recipes.
Gen Z, millennial, Gen X it doesn’t matter who you are it is flat out cheaper to cook your own food. If you are single then soups and casseroles are your buddy. If you make a different one every other day and freeze the rest you will have a constant supply of a variety of meals you can reheat at will so you don’t get burnt out. If you are a couple just about every meal feeds four which is dinner plus leftover lunch for the both of you.
I live in Houston, TX which is one of the most diverse food scenes anywhere with some of best restaurants for every kind of food and I can’t find a steakhouse that consistently makes a better steak than me. The closest I’ve come was from a guy selling steaks at a bar I used to go to 15 years ago. No one makes better pancakes than I do. I’ve never been hesitant to order pancakes when I’m out but I’m always disappointed and feeling ripped off. The difference is staggering. Pancakes are cheeeap and making them better costs next to nothing. The only restaurant food I buy is food I don’t make yet.
Stop giving your money to people who really don’t deserve it. Learn to cook. One thing at a time. Every success leads to more success. The knowledge you gain is for life. You pass some of it on and one day far in the future every human will be a master chef because what else is there to do?
The only actual cash billionaire I can think of is the guy that created and sold Minecraft. That dude has billions in the bank. Or at least he did for a minute or two before I’m sure he invested a ton of it. All the other billionaires just own billions worth of stuff for the most part. Banks don’t even leave money in banks. They invest or loan out all of it and keep the returns. That’s the scam, same as it ever was.
Yeah, I know. 😔I just hate pedophiles a whole extra a lot. You can’t trust government to even deliver the mail on time anymore let alone decide who gets capital punishment. I know. I get the disconnect between wanting some criminals to be tortured and live streamed and forgetting who would be charged with carrying it out. Sorry about that.
Can you make a martyr out of a pedophile? If not, then sure. Pay per view and give the money to the victim. People who rape are the worst people. Worse then murderers. I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who does the worst thing you can do to someone.
It’s were-stir-sure where I’m from. English language is nonsense. Which is why so many English speakers are absolute bonkers. How can anyone be sane when the language they think in is insane?
Same here. I’d be willing to sell it though. It’s beyond maddening to me that they think it has value and then turn around and blatantly steal it. Cut me in and I’ll happily check all the boxes. Spy away if the price is right.
This is a wonderful thing to read. I don’t think other states ought to wait to pass similar legislation.
The operative word there is CAN and not the one you want it to be which would be WILL. There are many many many better ways to get you there.
If you like ducks already then you should not read up on them. Ducks are the worst!
Can they charge you with destruction of property if they don’t know whose property it is? Seems like the way forward is to just keep breaking these things. More of us than them. They want the data. Don’t give it to them.
Isn’t that like, a backwards way of just saying follow the law? Isn’t it already illegal for anyone to interfere with an election? We have got to put mechanisms in place to hold national referendums to remove people from office. Congress clearly can’t be trusted on its own since it can be co-opted. Something triggered from the bottom up if the people think there are shenanigans going on. I think we are coming up on the point of no return when it comes to taking back our power over government. If we don’t do it soon we are going to lose our ability to do it at all.
I feel the same as you but for different reasons. Games with mtx have a different pace and game progression to account for the mtx. If I’m paying full price it’s for the kind of game that is very much not a mtx kind of game. There are certain expectations that game developers keep trying to change for the worse when it comes to what you are getting when you buy a copy of a game. The only way to fight it is to be picky about what you buy.
