Don't knock people who need a niche product just cause a lot of rich fucks also use it. I mean there's other options, double base etc. I'd be extremely surprised if the squillion quid a tub stuff from the nob shop is genuinely the only or even best option. Like even the normal supermarket "upmarket" poo poo is absurdly expensive.

Sports provide a way for people to be active, a central pillar for communities to form around and share experiences, and a moment of relief from the crushing grind of the workday, you useless whinging rear end in a top hat. Christ I don't even like sports that much and I can see the positive benefits they can bring.

Ok, that sounds a lot better. Just as long as we have a bunch of decently paid people as opposed to one loving Cristiano Ronaldo cheating on his taxes and raping people and all the owners enabling him.

I like French-Algerian philosopher and goalkeeper Albert Camus' take on it. Everything is loving meaningless, we are all involved in a grind to the grave, and nothing matters *record scratch* except the things that we give meaning to and say matter, individually and as groups, and sport provides a lens through which we can view that.Camus posted:Everybody who cares about sport has an interest in drawing the line between acceptable customs and immoral practices.

Mate gently caress offfffff you typically need to be earning double the UK median wage to qualify for a mortgage at that level. Have you not seen the loving banana meme? Or did you think it only applies to your coworkers? Bonus round: Have a think about what the mortgage calculator offers you when you put in the minimum wage that you want to enforce on others.

I don't live in the UK, I live in the Netherlands, hence I I posted that link about the average new house price being 400k, which is above my savings and the mortgage I can get. And maybe we should have a minimum wage that allows everyone to live well. What I don't support is that society should reward managers and arbitrary strongmen for an activity that enriches no one. That goes for most YouTubers as well.

I have looked at houses but most of the ones I can afford are too far from where I work. So the same problem a lot of people have. I'm not saying I'm destitute. Far from it, I agree I am extremely lucky. I'm just puzzled over the fact that at one point people were going "Why the hell haven't you bought a house yet, idiot" and I am explaining the reasons. Edit: I think there also might be a bit of a language problem. When I say "house" I usually mean "place to live", not "detached building of residence". I wouldn't want a house, I'd rather have a flat.
