Supply and demand.

You can always move somewhere else and have hope of one day owning property. Or you can rent forever and have nothing to pass on to your kids.

The choice is yours. I wouldn't wait around for others to solve your problems.

Most people won't do something if they think it's "too hard," even if it will solve their problems.

800/ month car insurance

The fuck? Why is your car insurance so expensive?

600/month electric, water, internet

The fuck? Why are you water and electric bills so high? I live alone, but my water bill is always <$40 and my electric bill is $70-$150 depending on if I'm running the A/C or heater.

Internet for me is only $25/month because I use my phone for Internet and have unlimited data with Visible.

200/month family cell phone service

Switch to Visible, like I said. $25/month per line and you all have unlimited data so you can cut your cable Internet.

50/month streaming and donations to community radio

Complete waste of money. You don't get to do these and then complain you don't have enough.

600/month average repair & maintenance on home and cars

Lol, what? Are you constantly hitting your walls with hammers? Do you do offroading in a sedan? No way you're spending $600 per month on home/car repairs (on average) unless you're driving a Benz or BMW.

That said, thank you for listing out your expenses. It's a way more fruitful discussion when we talk actual numbers instead of vague "I don't have enoughs."

That's because they're just passing a bunch of money around at the top.

All of them live in major cities and don't own property.

I've heard that Japanese anime voice actors are seen on about the same level as we see American anime voice actors.

what are you doing listening to Japanese speaking voices?

I think some anime legitimately sounds better with the Japanese voice acting, but some people take it too far and extrapolate that to mean all anime is better with Japanese voices and any dub is immediately shit. It becomes these weird gate-keeping elitism among losers where you literally can't enjoy 'anime' a certain way or else these people won't think you're 'cool.'

One Punch Man sounds better with the Japanese voices imo. Saitama sounds downright iconic in Japanese, but like a generic wimpy boy in English.

The vast majority of other shows I prefer watching in English. Either the dub is identical in quality to the sub, or the difference is small enough that I don't care since I prefer watching things in my language.

I usually think less of a person when they say subs > dubs cause it's usually an elitist loser.

It's just, if we have the option now to feed these people yet we don't take it, what makes you think having fake meat will change anything? To me, it will just be another thing that's too expensive for them to benefit from because the people providing it are always maximizing profit.

A realistic one to apply to our societies?

Realistically, all the money spent on fake meat research could be spent on providing food for those who are starving.

These people don't get to choose between fake meat or real meat. It's either starve and die or starve and die.

Fake meat is just for the incredibly small pool of affluent individuals who think consuming animals is wrong but maximizing profit is not. Where do they get the money for this anyways in a world where children go without food, water, shelter, electricity, and education? I guess these affluent individuals should have more before those kids.

What do you mean?

They're not out of options. They could surrender, "which is what Israel and most of the Western world wants to happen."

Pretty sure they can switch advertisers and pay everyone less if they really want to stay in business.

Heck, reducing salaries could actually make twitter profitable for once.

I don't think Dave Chappelle is a piece of shit. I think a lot of criticism towards him is exactly what his recent gripes about the alphabet people are about. He made fun of everyone and nobody cared, but when he makes fun of the LGBT then all of a sudden people like you say "he's always been a bad guy."

I just wanna say: nobody should have this much money.

If we're gonna make exception, make it for the doctors and surgeons. Don't make it for the business owners who have people do all their work for them.

It's called "unwavering approval from your peers."

We'd all be pieces of shit if our peers cheered us on for every bad thing we did.

He was fine on rick and morty.

If only there was an alternative to eating meat.

User error. If X is too difficult for you to use, maybe you should try Windows.

Moving to an even more broken option isn't a good solution.

I think it's a little more complicated than that.
