  • The funny thing is that you think everyone else is the problem when zero legit offers means its virtually certain your asking price was nonsense.

    People with used obsolete goods often have expectations of value pegged to what they originally paid for it rather than what it’s worth.

    Search your own or similar good on markets to see what other people are paying for similar or better goods.

    Is Amazon selling something for 20 similar to what you paid 50 for 5 years ago? Shipped to your door tomorrow for free? Well then nobody is driving an hour out to your place next Tues to pay you 25.











  • Let me help you with some math and logic. If 52% of people have flown in the past year and 70% of those flights were leisure then 0.52x0.7 = 0.364 or 36.4% flew for leisure in the last year and 63.6% did not.

    Presumably the 2/3 who didn’t fly for vacation also didn’t spend 3000 and change which is hint just what a bank told you it should cost not how much people especially poor people are actually spending. There is a massive disparity between the haves and have nots in America.

    Tldr: they aren’t living paycheck to paycheck because they spent 3000 they are doing so because shit is expensive. People also aren’t poor because they eat too much avocado toast.




  • This is a fairly disconnected statement “ever” includes

    • discount fares

    • regional flights

    • vacations taken as a kid

    • flights paid for in whole or in part by parties with more cash

    • saving money for a long time

    • flights paid for when one had a better financial position or after a windfall

    Generalistically people are poor because they are thousands to tens of dollars per year underneath where they would need to be to be middle class. For instance earning 20,000 per year less than a middle class family x 20 years = $400,000 less Whereas you are wondering how people can possibly be poor because they had $350 once ever. This is like those weird fucks who think people who have smart phones can’t be poor.

    Also worrying about the environmental impact of poor people flying once back in 1995 is … probably moot.




  • I have flatpaks installed but not org.gnome.* note not first gtk app the first that require gnome runtimes. Then once you have a bunch of apps you’ll end up with different versions needing different runtimes which will need constant updates of the same 1G. Given modern connectivity and storage it isn’t that burdensome in truth but neither is the Windows example.

    It’s just humorous to crow over one and ignore the other.
