How about instead of SHAMING you say something HELPFUL?
Literally every redditors reply to any piece of sound financial management advice.

Erm I'll have you know that I get severe crippling anxiety and CPTSD going to the self checkout at the grocery store. I can't cook because I was never taught in school how to do so. Doordash and Uber eats are a human right, just like my master's in medieval women's poetry from a small private liberal arts school.

The shaming isn't helpful only because there are not nearly enough people doing it. Shaming has to be a collective effort. Shamer solidarity

Whatever brain wave state happens when consoomers is watching tiktok (or reels or shorts or rednote or whatever) I've noticed is highly correlated with pressing "the food button" on their phones. It's like the stimulation of watching "Infuriating & inflammatory workplace drama soap opera acted by entirely one 27 year old wearing six wigs part #1678" with intermittent random nonsense videos (cutting playdoh with scissors while an AI voice reads reddit posts) puts their active thoughts to sleep, and this is when they spend $30 on fricking subway

I like the people talking about education on a show where he explains something is a bad idea and the person responds with "but I want it "
Speaking of Caleb though, I saw an ad on TV with him for Rocket Money.

He's made it to the big leagues. The amount people will spend on education is insane. It's always useless shit too, it's not like an engineering degree or medical licensing, but shit like a masters in creative dance or PhD in late Victorian English literature

I'm a hypocrite, but worse because Capy probably isn't making millions off us, and better because Reddit has been so shit at monetizing (less money for the giga jannies the better), but there's irony that half the thread is about this on social media designed for bite-sized thinking and scrolling. Redditors feel superior for the ability to longpost, but it's still lazy trash brain.

Lmfao yeah they do that. But that's literally what self control and discipline are. You don't need to have the latest apple gadget, the latest McSlop offering, or go to Disney every couple of months. You're not missing out on shit. Spoiled butt children.

I'm torn on this though, especially when it comes to children. Seems like corps have too much of an advantage these days with labs and lasers and computer chips and chemicals, and I can sneer at whatever demographic's self control, but I'm still going to suffer the consequences of a significantly higher number of people being broke, unhealthy, and r-slurred.
Maybe my old genes are activating, but vidya games seem more and more insidious in particular.

Yeah I'd agree with your point on kids. The marketing is still the same as when I was a kid, but you didn't have screens and apps and the like. Back then If you wanted Sonic the hedgehog or Lucky Charms, you had to get mom to take you to the store and buy it. Now videogames are little casinos and you can tell Alexa to order you a bag of lucky charms marshmallows without that gatekeeping. There's certainly a role with parents taking responsibility, but I can't really speak to that. I don't have kids and I can't really judge parenting in this day and age. But if you're a 30 year old manchild who needs his loot boxes and onlyfans or a 30 year old womanchild going to Disney because fomo, I have zero sympathy. That's on you.

He's really been upping the ante with the guests as of late. The Disney Adult lesbos. The booze cruising black girl. The green card marriage with la ogra. He's also been getting a lot of whores.

It gets engagement. These YouTubers are the new reality TV now, so they're following the same footsteps.

Hmmmmmm. Maybe it's true if you're single?
When wife makes dinner for 5, it doesn't take much longer than when you make dinner for yourself, if you're utilizing downtime correctly.
So the cost/time ratio might be better for ordering food if you're single
Assuming the hour or so of meal preparation is turned into a wage

Cooking for a single person can be basically the same as cooking for five. You just divide it into smaller portions—to prepare each day if you like having it fresh, or to reheat if you want to cook once for several days. It shouldn't be any more expensive, indeed less because there will be less waste from knowing exactly what you want.
Besides, your free time doesn't have a wage equivalent unless you were actually going to spend it working instead.

Plus it's an actual skill and it's rewarding to do things yourself. The reason redditors are bitter and poor is because they pay for everything vs doing it themselves. Without the hard work, mental exercise, and satisfaction of learning how to work on your house and car, cook your own food, and bootstrap your hobbies, life is a meaningless pursuit of short term hedonism, and you are reduced to a soulless husk seething in the shadow of those richer than you

It isnt, because cook time isnt waged time as no one pays you to cook. Its girlmath not facts. What I do get out of cooking though is an extra 30 min early leave every day.
Food is also way better than takeout.
