So what's next with Trump getting felony convictions? This does not play well into the theory of the powers that be letting Trump back into the White House, unless I am missing something. Because I don't see how going with another 4 years of Biden is going to be a great idea with how things are shaking up in the world.

Perhaps those who are in charge are stupid enough to think they can succeed in spite of the bad conditions (such as low recruitment numbers for the military).

@Stahesh >hey GIVE ME A SHOT

Funny, I bet many men her age when she was in her 20s had the same thought towards women like her and were rejected. The guys that "checks all her boxes" are the same guys most other women want, and when men like that have the power of choice, they will go with the best option.

This woman like many other women will have to adjust their expectations if they do not want to be spinsters. Because their odds are not getting any better.

Perhaps you cannot always find the cheaper alternative with all things nor does it always work out for the better. But chances are that you might be spending more money than you need to on factors that are actually not important.

With this in mind, consider what other things you can do to lower your expenses by seeking less expensive alternatives. Is your money being well spent by paying for all the added costs that have little to do with the end product itself?

While eating out is far from frugal, it makes little sense to pay extra for someone from Uber Eats or whatever other service when eating takeout is already expensive enough. Better yet, figure out if you can make the food yourself. Much cheaper.

Giving another shout-out to ALDI. If you have one in your area, you should totally take advantage of the signficantly lower food prices. Who cares about things like name brands and customer service? At the prices they have, I care little that I have to bag my own groceries and return the cart myself to get the quarter back.

With food being a large expense, it helps to find ways to get it as cheap as possible.

@9c2e0a870413773cb915b9c9cd2e1cbd17e53ae2b0a86aba5e5bf0fc13c420d2 @DW2 So where is this movie streaming right now? Oh wait, it's not streaming. So we only have movie theater sales as our measurement, and it is nowhere near good enough considering that the studios make less money on tickets each week and the budget for movie is $168 million.

Do you think streaming is going to make up the difference in the end? I doubt it.

@Aether assuming this is not a fake and gay Reddit story, perhaps those women realized that they did not like working despite decades of propaganda because nature is a lot stronger than a bullshit ideology.

@deprecated_ii "She doesn't like it" is also silly because it is not as if you can't sell the house and move into a new one. Not saying that you should do so only to make a woman happy, but rather that the idea that "she might not like it" is a silly excuse when considering how having your first home makes it easier to transition to a new home since you are more likely to have equity to work with in the event you want/need a different house.

@deprecated_ii Well of course you have to take all those additional classes that are not related to your major! It helps make you well rounded!

Well actually it doesn't. But it does make the budget of the colleges far more well rounded by making students need to spend more years in college than they need to.

Looks like someone made a call to Nikki. Yet another stop pulled to get Trump back in office so that can try to get more young white men to die for Israel.

@WashedOutGundamPilot All a consequence of women chasing only the top percentage of men and refusing to contemplate that they might need to adjust their expectations in what they can get for a long term relationship. And woman are not the victims when they find themselves in "situationships," because they are supposed to practice restraint when it comes to sex. Whenever women are told this, they just complain about oppression.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Perfect example of a woman not understanding the perspective of men. Men who are not a full package are rarely even being able to get up to bat, and this woman is complaining about women striking out. She also has no clue all the work men had to do ahead of time just to have a chance at getting a date. Some men may seem like "naturals," but those are either rare exceptions or have busted their asses enough that they just seem like "naturals."

@Pain66 Well at least one:

>90% top marginal tax rate for the rich

Except none of the rich actually paid that and always got out of it with loopholes built into the system. And most billionaires are not making a standard income like others, making a high income tax for them meaningless anyways.

I will not argue that tipping is a great and perfect system. Though I have noticed many left wingers being against the system for the same reason they hate free markets: meritocracy. They know full well that they will not make it on their merits, so they want a system that automatically rewards them.

"But what about bad tippers?" Well, I am quite willing to bet these same people would disapprove refusing service to those sorts of people when "discrimination" starts taking place.
