I hope you also can get out of the rat race when you feel you had enough. :) For me I just got sick of it at 50.

In dollars, about 500.000. So if stocks go up 1%, thats 5000 dollars.

My monthly costs are about half of that. So im thinking it should work out fine. Its a risk of course, but its not a huge risk to take. I think its going to be fine.

Like the previous poster said, there is a whole world out there where this sort of thing is very cheap.

In the west, everything is very expensive simply because people have the money to pay that much for it. We are working our entire lives with temporary relief now and then with overpriced alcohol. It sucks.

Im getting off the 9 to 5 myself this year and living on savings and stock market. Cant waste more of my life at work anymore but im 50 now and worked for 25 years. Im expected to continue working until im 70, but fuck that.

Most of the content here is from twitter, so yeah…

We may not be using twitter but we are discussing content from twitter.

Its a bit depressing actually. There isnt other websites where things happen that would be more interesting to actually talk about…

I think it also has to do with the economy, not just nazi salutes. Its a bad job market, people dont have money, so luxary cars are not going to be attractive.

Also there is hardly any reason to buy a Tesla… Volvo recharge and others are better cars, made by actual car companies with a good reputation for quality.

Fixed a bug in the Meta+V clipboard popup that made it sometimes fail to pre-select the top-most item. (Akseli Lahtinen, link)

This happened all the time for me and was super annoying. I switched to gnome for a while again but nice to see this is fixed.

I saw it on tv news yesterday and I was just so sad that this is what we have now as a president. Switched channels quickly, no point being depressed. But its just sad.

I think we are at the end stage of capitalism and people should live their lives, trying to get out of the matrix if they can.

Ok I understand. There is no way someone connect what you write here with your real identity. Only your instance even sees your ip. And your internet provider I guess.

You shouldnt. Post and be downvoted. As long as you are not intentionally trolling anyone, it shows strength of character to stand up for what you believe.

Its very different from work where you are not free to do what you want, because your entire paycheck is based on going along with the charade. You dont have to do that outside of work. :)

Capitalism is amazing. We can all just chill and have coffee and have amazing lives.

I guess its also our culture where sex is seen as the most important thing in life. So everyone is convinced their entire value consists of how much mating they are doing. Maybe that would be true if we were breeding animals but we are not.

I was not cool. That was a crime that was punished severely.

You dont use your real name on Lemmy so I dont see why your history matters here. I could understand it on linkedin, which is why its a super cringe platform also, but here? I dont see a problem.

I like Lemmy because it can be genuine and real, unless posted on a instance that moderates away opinions the moderators dont agree with.

You can go back and find opinions in my history you wont agree with. But thats because i dont try to look a certain way, and I dont change my opinions to look good to others.

I think everyone should do the same. Be who you are. Reflect on feedback, maybe you are wrong, but if you dont think so, dont change yourself.

Bad sex is not better than no sex… Wtf… :)

Emotionally mature women do calm down. It just depends on the level of trust she has in what you say.

If you are known to her as someone she trusts and listens to, then she will consider if you are right and start to calm down if she thinks you are.

But it depends a bit on age and maturity and life experiences and all sorts of things.

Its like having a junior developer with a world of confidence just change shit and spend hours breaking things and trying to fix them, while we pay big tech for the privilege of watching the chaos.

I asked chat gpt to give me a simple squid proxy config today that blocks everything except https. It confidently gave me one but of course it didnt work. It let through http and despite many attempts to get a working config that did that, it just failed.

So yeah in the end i have to learn squid syntax anyway, which i guess is fine, but I spent hours trying to get a working config because we pay for chat gpt to do exactly that…

Thats hilarious as usual when it comes to Trump. :)

And the tone… I expect… The president for a few months, who has been in jail and is full of lies, expects someone, which he doesnt know by the right name, to comply with arbitrary rules…

What a guy.

That cant be true… What, just holding their arms up for a minute?

I dont tolerate cardio, its really not feeling good and it seems to take forever to get to a place where its supposed to feel good. If it ever does.

But lifting weights is fun. I enjoy that since body looks better and feels stronger. And there, results show clearly in just 2 months or faster.

The suspects – aged 25 to 75 – come from a wide range of backgrounds. They include a priest, a grandfather, a music teacher, a paramedic and others described as “good family men”.

Every. Fucking. Time.

Something about becoming a priest in life must be about trying to fight inner thoughts you dont want to have. Maybe you want to believe that God can help remove thoughts. Its interesting. They are always on lists of pedophiles.
