This is a recession truth nuke
I thought he was talking about things in general, but he meant fast food places specifically.
Well he is a fast food reviewer…I could see how that this screenshot doesn’t show that though.
Fast food can screw off, honestly. It sucks, expensive, shrinkflated, and is a gross reflection of America’s excessive consumerism.
My disappointment is immense, and my day is ruined
*immeasurable
Gahh I knew it didn’t sound right lol
I was gonna say we’re living in the gooner golden age, but payment processors enforcing arbitrary decency standards have regressed us in recent years as content producers self-censor and content platforms censor legal content.
World hunger, global literacy rates, number of people living in extreme poverty, deaths to malaria, investment in renewable energy, the hole in the ozone, homicide rates, etc.
Things going well just don’t get talked about as much.
Most of those things were improved with the help of USAID, with that gone and other countries either not picking up the slack or straight up cutting their funding as well we’re probably looking at the peak for most of those.
Aside from renewables and the ozone layer I expect most things you listed to backslide year after year for the foreseeable future.

My jerk boss got fired yesterday so that’s getting better.
Mine just got covid and won’t be here for a week, it’s a good day today, well for me.
My God, the fingernails.
That’s actually just a thumbnail
my mental health, for once ^^
Well of course! The profits of the Epstein class are always growing, and Felon Musk is a trillionaire. Won’t anybody here think of the rich?
At the risk of jinxing it:
Linux, Tor, and Godot
Possibly housing markets.
Though improvements to TOR are mostly for Android which is about to heavily enshitify since last year’s changes to AOSP and unofficial app policies. Still, I think the number of TOR volunteers enabling the network have grown? Definitely feels faster than before.

Or the number of compromised exit nodes has increased 👀 😬
Would it even matter? The network gets routed between multiple nodes and the site traffic itself is encrypted, so unless a sufficient number of nodes total were comrpomised then tracking who is visiting where would be an effort in futility, no?
The only notable case of a TOR user being tracked down that I can think of was a Silk Road user using his personal email address in malicious activity.
Plus, you can use both VPN and TOR.

Yes, I was being hyperbolic, its probably unlikely enough nodes are compromised

There was another one: https://blog.torproject.org/tor-is-still-safe/
But this was also technically a case of user error
Housing markets isn’t getting worse?
Looks at “Housing Prices Hit All-Time High” news article from a few months ago
The kicker? The only reason there haven’t been more recent articles about it is because every day is a new record high.
Am I dumb or is that not supposed to be normal? With inflation you don’t expect it to go down, you expect it to go up a little bit every day.
“The housing market is doing better” doesn’t mean prices are going down, but rather that it isn’t going up as fast as it used to.
I think the point is that the pricing is much higher than it ought to be, so to get genuinely better the prices either have to go down or you have to have a very long period of them not going up as much as inflation.
This. It’s not just inflation in isolation, but the fact that wages are rising slower than inflation, while cost of housing is rising faster.
Adjust for inflation and you’d see wages dropping, while housing continues to go up. This creates a growing and unsustainable affordability gap.
Obviously this is regionally dependent, but housing supply is set to overtake the growing demand in the next few years.
Heres a random source I googled which cites Mortgage Banker’s Association crying over loss of potential future profits if they accidentally build enough units for housing to become cheap again: SOURCE
It’s a sad day to see review brah down in the dumps
Surprised he’s alive given what he’s ingested.
He might be pickling from within
My van. It got a new horn today. That’s one thing.
Does it go awooga?
Unfortunately not, it sounds kind of like a normal horn but WAY louder. I can’t stop on a dime so if someone cuts me off I need them to know they are in danger haha. But honestly I’d love an awooga horn.
Bididididii, bidididiidiii, Bidididididi
getting worse is getting better
