The people getting high at work don't have tondeliver anything op. Oh no my spreadsheet is messed up, the HR email about Arbor Day didn't go out in time, I typed GOTO 11 instead of GOTO 10 because I got high lol wgatever, all fake jobs anyway. Or the other end of things where you smoke up in the parking lot to go stack boxes in the warehouse or arrange the cans of tomato soup, which are real jobs but also, doesn't really matter if you're high

That's a good point, I hadnt considered how easy it is doing drugs at fake computer jobs. Warehouse workers getting high on the job is of course praxis.

bellamy's looking backwards proposes basically this, everyone is paid the same natch but the worse the job is the less hours you have to work to even it out

It's ok, the primary consumer of housing in terms of who buys it is now landlords and other such rent seekers.

Housing also has its own miniature K-shaped recovery where buyers who got lucky and bought in around 2008-2012 (or who already owned their homes and rode out the downturn) now have a stupid amount of equity. A lot of overlap there with rich idiots, but also a decent number of people who were just lucky and in the right place at the right time. Anecdotally, realtors are going loving hard at this group right now. A lot of "sure you either own your home outright or have a negligible housing payment, but have you considered that you can throw away your housing security to double your square footage?"

That’s Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy 16 dude and that picture just shows square games not literally that they were exclusive. Since late ps4 era most square games like FF7 and 16 and foamstars have been PlayStation exclusive .

We've been grocery shopping for my partner's parents since 2020 and they are freakishly consistent in what they want to buy from week to week. We've watched their grocery bill more than double over the last three years even with us making constant substitutions for cheaper brands. It's thousands of dollars extra per year with a shopping list that is insanely bare bones (almost 100% whole foods) by American standards.

I was watching some old footage from 2005 of folks in a grocery store and was struck by the amount of full size carts being pushed around that were completely filled with groceries. idk if it’s just where or when I shop, but I rarely see that nowadays. strange thing to be nostalgic for, things are fine

I see it all the time, but I suspect it's dependent on which store (winco yes Safeway no) and if it's a big family or not. some people don't have a chance to shop more than once a week.
