I wish I could use my Trakt account to find an avid critic similar to my tastes. That’d be cool…
Because, yeah, critics usually suck. They will tell you a movie is great, and the vibe can be so shitty sometimes. Like, ruin your whole night levels of depressing or pretentious.
Lol 10-15% of our income? I’m sorry… But who can afford that? We’re getting so fucked right now by greed in this country…
My power bill was $500 last month for a two bedroom apartment. This is because I live in a city with the highest energy rates in the nation, all because the company and our local governments are absolutely lousy with corruption. They have posted obscene record profits for the last half a decade while everyone in the city suffers.
My rent was also 21% higher this year than it was in 2020. My landlord bought this place a decade ago at a bankruptsy auction, but like, fuck me right? Gatta keep those rates up when the rest of the city goes up.
I also haven’t saved money since around 2019, since I went four years with a 0% raise due to the company I work for struggling. We were bought out by another company with tons of money, but they decided we were overpaid, since they live in a cheaper city.
My story is not unique. My story is not special. I hear a similar one from people every week. Retirement is a luxury most post-boomers will never experience, no matter how hard we work.
Probably the new Google search that uses Bard. It’s not public yet, but you can ask for access.
Edit: It’s currently referred to as “generative search”, and you can use it on Android if you sign up for the beta version of the app on the play store.
