I had to scroll down a lot to find a sensible comment. Apparently having milk in your coffee is a constitutional right..

So you are agreeing with the person you are replying to that non diary is more expensive?

Yeah I thought about the red meat belief, but we are talking chicken here, white meat. Hence why I asked.

Outside the US sure, that was my point.

In the States there's a mass shooting every Tuesday.

Would have worked a charm for this particular article

Cloned cells are fair game to me but not my thing because they are probably bad for you just like a murdered chicken in a sandwich is.

Can you expand on what's bad for you about a chicken in a sandwich? I get it that toubare vegetarian or vegan, I don't need you to explain the ethical reasons, you seem to imply that from a dietary point of view chicken in a sandwich is not healthy?

As a rule of thumb people stop to mass murder other people, without guns. With extremely rare exceptions, we don't have that shit outside of the US and our schools are not shooting ranges.

The other two things you wrote are not reasons, they are a) a slogan that you could put on a 12 years old t shirt and b) something someone who is having a heart attack might say

Youbare mixing things up.

Groceries have gone up, no one is questioning this, we all feel it.

When questioned about what your emergency, unexpected expenses were, that made you dip into money that you had invested, you listed real emergencies (cavities) and stuff that should be in a budget - new shoes.

Read about personal finance. You have money that you spend as part of your budget bills, shoes, rent etc.

if you manage to have any left, you put them against an emergency fund, typical recommendation is you try to build a nest that allows you to leave for six months.

Then if you still manage to have any left, you start investing.

It looks like you did the wrong way, invested money that you actually needed.

Also, if you are redoing your deck and don't have an emergency fund, toubare living on the edge. Shit happens like lose your job and break a leg and you don't have money to pay your mortgage. But at least you have a new deck.

This is basic personal finance, has nothing to do with the price of groceries and you are not poor since you obviously have extra disposable income that you are using wrongly. The other guy isnright BTW you don't need a new bed ffs, if you have money to throw away start building an emergency fund.

But obviously this is lemny and my logic is in the way of the narrative that the greedy corporations are causing everyone to leave one pay check to another. Hence all the downvotes.

Or what saving money means.

I have a 12 years old TV if not older. Turns on instant.

How have consumers got to accept something like this as normal?

Some of the eu regulations, you can't just waive them by accepting an unreasonable EULA.

I have a Linux pc hooked to the TV and it's very convenient to use while lying in the sofa. In fact that's all I use the TV for. And the reason I am interested in this post, as my 12 years old dumb TV will kick the bucket on day it the other.

The pc is my server/nas and runs kodi in a container that outputs to the TV. It has no keyboard nor mouse, but I do have a remote controller that I had lying around from an old android TV box. Basically you turn the TV on and kodi is there waiting with all my movies, series, and iptv to choose from. With a great remote controller that works beautifully with kodi.

The remote is a minix neo a2 I have had for years. Highly recommend it. If it dies I'll do a quick research to see if there is something better this days, but I'd be keen to buy another one straight away.

I'll build a Faraday cage

Look I don't care for lemmy trends and I use Apple laptops as I get them from work.

That said it's hardly a superior ecosystem, and particularly for this specific use. As a million people have said already, kodi on Linux is a pretty good start. Look at libreelec that is an os wrapped around kodi.

This post is weird. I get it prices have sky-rocketed I can see it myself (australia), and I am sure some people are really suffering.

But here it's getting ridiculous, look at me I'm poor i can barely make ends meet after I redid my fucking deck and I bought a new TV.

And if you say something that goes against lemmys narrative (corporations bad) the downwotes start flowing.

Another person in another thread is complaining about the price of grapes. In north America, when it's fucking spring and they are out of season. Tried buying fruit that is in season? Yes it's price has increased but ffs use your brain.

I'm in the southern emisphere and just started eating grapes. Assuming you are in the US, consider looking for produce that is in season. Besides helping with your budget, it contributes to addressa number of other issues around shops and producers trying to focus on growing stuff that doesn't want to grow at a particular time of the year.

New shoes and new clothes should be part of your budget. You shouldn't be blindsided by this.

Everything else, do some reseaech into 'emergency fund'. You need one before you start investing, else yes you'll be dipping into your investments the moment you need some extra cash and you might end up loosing money if the market has gone down when you sell.

I was under the impression that Bolsorano had more support from the armed forces.

And so was he

And we eat them

a whole lot of programmers would have had to go out of their way to be really, really bad at their jobs.

You don't spend much time around them, do you?
