but what doth this doeth with the video game
>>738802828This is video game related. Back in 2009 to 2013 Moot would let us have at least one non-vidya related thread that was active because this was the most popular board and everyone who was cool came here and we could chat about manga, porn, food, 4chan news, movies and racist shit.If you think about it all daily life things are vidya related because they occur to /v/ goers and it effects our expensive pass time. Which is playing vidya. Vidya is about many things like being able to afford food. Maybe GTA VI will have economics in it. Skyrim had a little of that.
>>738803630If you can't afford to feed yourself you can't afford vidya.
>>738802323I can make a delicious homemade pizza for less than $2 worth of ingredients, and it lasts me 2 meals so that's less than $1 per serving. Why would I ever buy fastfood pizza?

>>738802323One slice really is 1k cal?
>>738804776I bought a Mario Lunchables the other day. I have no shame and I love to consoooom.
>>738804387Real. Depends on where you live obviously, and I'm not talking about buying the ingredients from scratch, but the cost portion-wise. Flour is cheap, yeast is cheap, tomato paste is cheap, pepperonis are cheap. The Mozzarella cheese is the most expensive ingredient, making up over half the cost. Aside from that the various seasonings for the tomato sauce aren't even worth calculating, maybe a few cents total if you're already stocked up on them. Other cheap toppings like onion, green pepper, olive slices, jalapeno slices etc are nice too. Any other meats like chicken and sausage will bring the price up though.
>>738804419>made it impossible for Millennials to buy a house or retireIt's absolutely possible for milennials or even zoomers to retire, but they must be tought basic financial literacy and about future planning/controlling instant gratifcation from their parents.

>>738805321Sysco has a lot of these places by the balls contract-wise. And yeah their prices have fucking exploded even for basic unprepped stuff. At least I steal food from work so I can afford whatever vidya I want.
>>738805741>80g chocolate bar now costs as much as 2x100g used toi stopped buying snacks because the prices just feel insulting, and i actually lost some fat thanks to that
>>738802482>stop eating outThe fuck? Do you want me to die?
>>738803695Do you have a stone oven? If not then your pizza is ass
>>738804354Idk I can see it. Pizza ingredients are dirt cheap, that’s why it costs $20 for a decent meal at McDonald’s for one person unless you leverage deals out the ass in the app but you can get a large five topping pizza for $10. From my local store:A pound of pizza dough is $2.60 (which is enough for two pizzas according to Google)https://www.heb.com/product-detail/10389013A 14 ounce can of pizza sauce is $1.28 (which is enough for two pizzas)https://www.heb.com/product-detail/15767040A bag of pizza cheese is $2.92 (enough for one pizza)https://www.heb.com/product-detail/14840038So a 12 inch cheese pizza costs $4.86 if you buy all of the ingredients prepackaged. I’m certain you can find cheaper cheese than that, I just picked the first result for pizza cheese, same deal with the pizza sauce. And I know you can make dough yourself for cheaper than that because it’s just flour and salt and water, you could probably make the pizza sauce for cheaper from scratch yourself too but I don’t feel like looking up all the ingredients. My point is he’s really not that far off.
>>738802323>Can't afford foodEat peas and rice. Rice just because google says you can live off peas if you have rice.They're very cheap and easy to make.Get a microwave, a rice cooker and an air fryer.Making your own chips/fries and cooking them in an air fryer works fairly well. Along with peri peri sauce.Peas in the microwave for 6 minutes. Less with a powerful microwave.Potatoes can also be steamed in a microwave if you put several in a glass bowl, a little bit of water, and a plate on top. Then mash them with a masher after 20 minutes. Margarine.Pour rice into a rice cooker. Add water, enough so there is a knuckle/finger tip between the rice and the surface of the water. Leave on and let it turn itself off.Mayo goes very well with peas and even rice. I use Hellmann's vegan mayo. You can buy it at a third of the cost it would be in shops from Amazon in 2.4 litre jugs.Salt and pepper too of course.Eating peas WILL make you lose fat. Fast. In a year you WILL lose 30kg of fat without doing much. Not noticing it either. No stretch marks. Running on a treadmill while playing games, browsing and watching movies will help too. Muscle. Try to eat protein powder, but it's hard to make taste good. A blender and banana works.Getting money is almost impossible. It is very hard to get a job unless you are educated filth. Or some scum with a resume.But good food doesn't cost much. The stuff you should eat is cheap. You can still spend a lot on it. But yeah. Rice and peas. Rice and peas for a year would probably cost as much as fast food for a week. Rice can go fuck itself in my opinion. Fuck the energy from it. And you can get more protein from protein powder. Ignore what google says about you not being able to live off it. And live off it if you're fat. Lose fat. Get fit. Try and get farm work, that's probably the easiest to get. Then building labouring. Then try and do what you want while making money from it.No idea. Money generally cost your soul.

>>738805142Not mentioning the jalapenos you should be putting in the sauce?
I live in a big city and the local family owned place I like going to has reasonable prices still. Must be a skill issue for OP

>>738806790diameter?
>>738806895$18 for a meal combo is still ridiculous.$12 is the max I will pay.
>out of context xitter engagement bait
>>738802323I look for massively discounted games to buy. A lot of people are in more debt than they could pay off in 100 years, though, so I'm doing better than average in that sense.
>>738802323Don't buy overpriced garbage. Not sure why this is so hard for the average poorfag to figure out. Turns out that most of them are poor because they are too stupid to not be.
>>738806790my choice local spot is like $30 for a large and i still go there because their pizza is fucking amazingthere is nothing special about it, no gimmicks to justify it being overpriced, they aren't trying to be high-end or anything, they just make everything fresh and are super consistentthat price is with add-ons, i always prefer extra cheese and that means they have to bake it longer so the rest of the toppings get a bit of crust to them which i also prefermeanwhile if you show up too early to a chain pizza spot you get to personally witness the wagie take your pizza out of the freezer and put it into an oveni do not understand how places like that stay in business, being super minmaxed for throughput by cheating with frozen pre-made bullshit and being bland and horrible, when local spots just consistently blow them the fuck out in quality.
>>73880720512'10.99 for that size is fine with me. There is another local place that is not quite as good but still good called Zappy's that has a 9.50 pepperoni 14. It's like an upscale Little Caesar's
>>738807405I used to like Papa John's decently enough but at their current prices no way Jose. I'd rather just get a Red Baron and pop it in the oven at this point.
>>738802323sigh... i might have to get a job soon
>>738802652The chicken bakes and frozen yogurts at Costco are also really good, and a good value. It's $4.99 for one of those bakes and it's easily a whole meal by itself.
>>738802323What's the logic in making things like food and gas expensive as fuck so no one can afford it? That means you will stop getting customers which means no sales which means your fucking business will fail as wellNone of this makes sense

>>738808146>>738807831It's basically like going to movie theater and paying $10 for a fucking soda. Only morons do that
>>738802323I used to manage my money meticulously and considered the value proposition or need of everything I bought, all the way up to buying a house (with mortgage payments >50% of my income at the time). My car was fully paid off at that point. Now housing is a fixed cost, regardless of how much everything else raises so I can indulge in hobbies or (relative) luxury goods at will without concerning myself with their cost. The benefit of my wage increases continually outpace the other cost increases like food and gas.
>>738802323>average person>averagesee, that's your answer
>>738802875It's insane how he literally has done everything for Israel and is now openly saying he doesn't care about the average American now.The whole seizure of Venezuela's oil was just to give a massive supply to Israel in preparation for the Iran war.
So you're all gonna vote against Trump in the election this time, right? Since everything is so expensive now and no ine can afford to even live these days. It's not like you'd be stupid enough to vote for him again for "moral" reasons or whatever, right? You're not gonna shoot yourselves in the foot again just so you can feel superior to smug libs who may or may not be bot accounts anyway, correct?
>>738808146an amusement park
>>738802715same issue as doritos. Their nachos stopped selling, like 70% less customers. It was 7 dollars for a bag of doritas with half the bag filled with air. Same shit with restaurants.

>>738807778I get a % cash back from the purchases made with my membership, which more than cover the initial buy in cost.

offtopic thread mods help!
>>738809396Suck my mod5
>>738807778Costco doesnt require a membership to walk in and buy the pizza or hotdogs.The membership alone is worth it to save on the gas prices, especially how they are now. If you normally buy food in bulk and have a decent sized freezer you can get a lot of mileage for an equal amount of expense compared to a regular grocer.
>>738802875we know, we saw what you did to Charlie Kirknot even killing every chud on the planet will allow you to be both a real woman and a stunbrave tranny at the same time, though, so even if we lose we still win

>>738809317>say retarded shit>get owned>try to move goalpostsyou lost, get fuckedlol!
>>738809584people act gay and retarded over pizza online and have since DARPA first rolled it out. I'd eat that.

>>738809217It's a discount on things I was buying anyway, on top of the generally lower prices I pay by volume at Costco. The point is that the membership is effectively free if you get the top tier one. That said, you can share the membership with someone "in your household" and reap the benefit of their purchases as well. That part is free money.
All the restaurants in my town, regardless of cuisine, got bought out by indians and now all the food quality has gone to shit but they still had the audacity to up the prices. It's really sad to see, there's this cute little bar on the corner of an intersection 2 minutes from my place. They used to make outstanding bar pizza. I ordered it once after they were bought out, and what I got looked like pic related. Never again.
>>738808362>Your food isnt so good that i'm dropping 20 dollars on a pizza slice, or 70 dollars on a 2 pizzas and a fry.Pretty much this, the food is unhealthy, greasy and filled to the brim with salt. The point of it was that it was cheap as shit and convenient because you didn't have to cook yourself. Somehow they forgot that paying 20 bucks for garbage slop is fucking retarded.
>>738807778The $80 membership is paid off by the much lower prices of 'everything' in the store, not just the food.
Because many gamers for some reason are MAGA and the cost of gas and food is the Ghost of Biden's fault or something.
I always wanted to try the Spago crème fraîch and salmon pizza. It's probably cheaper than Dominos now>>738809976I just don't go to any place I see staffed by jeets. I get my curry from Thai places now, staffed by Asians. I like it better than Indian curry.
>>738808325>Surely I can vote myself out of israeli techno-fuedalism!!!
>>738806357Always one of these guys in the replies. Yes, obviously a stone oven is optimal but the poster is not talking about making the perfect end all be all pizza. You can easily make a decent pie at home that is better than 90% of restaurants and every single pizza chain, and you can do it for cheap. You can cook a perfectly acceptable pizza in a regular convection oven without buying san marzano tomatoeshttps://youtu.be/vKppwbiqNK4?Here's even a recipe that just needs dough, sauce, and cheese.
>>738808636>>738808341>>738808229Oh, ok. It's highway robbery but I at least understand the prices now.
>>738806425No deal, retard. I need chicken and beef in my diet. Fuck fast food though. I just buy and cook my own stuff.
>>738802631Nta but you can insulate yourself to some extent. The mortgage payment for my 3000 sq ft house is only $950, so I have breathing room when gas and food gets more expensive. The flip side is I live in a town of 50K in a flyover state. I like it here and think it’s a fair tradeoff for financial freedom and not being too affected by cost of living spikes. Not everyone feels the same or else it would be more crowded here.
>>738810147yeah, /v/ is just mentally retarded for the most part. You don't buy food at an amusement park unless you went there knowing you were going to fork out the clams. Been that way since as long as I can remember.

>>738807405>frozen chain pizzaAs a former wagecuck at multiple locations, I can vouch this isn’t the case at Little Caesars. The pizza and crazy bread dough is always made fresh in store daily. Flour, water, yeast and vegetable oil. The cheesy bread dough comes in frozen and premade, but we could make it out of crazy bread dough too when we ran out of the premades.

>>738802715There's just no appeal to it anymore.When i was a kid fast food was always the cheap, tasty, but unhealthy option, which was available with unrivaled convenience.Now it's expensive, not very good, and still unhealthy. And you can doordash anything without even leaving your room. So it just has no niche.If you're going to pay extra by eating out you might as well order traditional slop from a restaurant rather than literal sludge.Also, ozempic.
I used to go to a pizza place for lunch at work. They also made burgers, and they had a specialty burger with pizza toppings with mozzarella cheese, grilled onions, green peppers, and I forget the white sauce if it was alfredo or simply mayo. It was so good bros.

>>738804372Yeah. I did a quick sum of what I've spent on games, including consoles and it was over 20 grand AUD.All of that could instead have been a couple of PCs. And just pirating.The deal of the moment is to get a PC, store it somewhere. And use moonlight to play it remotely. On your phone. Using a controller too. Or touchscreen.Then you aren't bound by a place. And can sleep on a camping cot in the bush. Travel with a backpack. Still have a good PC virtually on your phone. A little lag but not much. Still need a good phone though.Can do the same with a console.Have a solar charger and you're free. Then just have to worry about food because you can't carry a fridge.>>738804505Try not deserving to be bombed.

>>738810104I grew san marzano tomatoes at home and made sauce from scratch. It's not worth. Neither are the ones in a can, genuine san marzano or the "san marzano style" ones, it makes next to no difference. Pretty much any plum tomato will work the same. Just get whatever's cheapest, what matters most is cooking it long enough and adding garlic.Garlic is also super easy to grow and will come up basically anywhere.Food doesn't have to be expensive, people are just trained to believe everything they buy must be ready to eat. The labor premium alone of doordashing a cold soggy pizza costs more than just making the fucking pizza.We are a civilization mostly fed by grain and I bet most people ITT have ever made their own dough, not even grinding the flour just using store bought flour to make dough. It's so easy children can do it and nobody bothers. They'd rather eat store bought cardboard that's 50% corn syrup by volume but costs more.

>>738802323I got two frozen pizzas at WinnDixie for 10 dollars last week. With the money you save by just not eating out like a retard you can easily save enough money to buy the occasional 30 dollar vidya game.

>>738811351>ozempicThis falls under the category of "you will live to see manmade horrors beyond your comprehension" for me.I remember before Ozempic, there was a similar drug that worked by killing your appetite. It was a synthesized version a chemical found in pregnant horse piss. It wasn't literally horse piss, but at that time everyone who took it was mocked for injecting themselves with pregnant horse piss and rightly so. Ozempic is the same shit, it was synthesized from GIla Monster Venom. You are injecting yourself with a synthetic version of a chemical found in literal poison to kill your appetite.It just reeks of absolute decadence and it's indictive of cultural decay. Rather than simply changing their eating habits and going for a walk everyone once in a while, people are injecting themselves in the gut with a poison that kills their appetite and don't see any issue with that. They'd rather pay a pharmaceutical company (or force me to pay for it through taxes with socialized medicine), lift up their shirt and stab themselves in the gut every day and starve themselves because they've killed their appetite than simply eat less and exercise more. They haven't solved their problem, they've just traded it for a different one. It's like quitting heroine by smoking crack.

>>738805142>Do you not already have the ingredients, LOL? Just be already stocked up on everything bro and it doesn't even count in price, heh! I also conveniently didn't include gas/electricity for 30mins-1hour, cleaning and other shit!This is why I despise cookingfags. This and also the highly deceptive and dishonest claims like:>Super fast and easy lazy recipe in just 15 minutes when you juuuuust can't be bothered cooking at all!When in reality it's more like an hour or more because of shit like going to the grocery store to find and pick out the ingredients, get that shit home, wash it, prep it, prepare and clean the dishes before/after, wait for shit to get heated up, do a million other movements, etc. You fuckers deserve the rope.

>>738813901I look at it the other way around. The crack addicts are no longer on crack. They are on something else but it's not making them fat, smelly, diabetic people who use up healthcare resources for everyone else. Instead it's making them healthier. Doesn't really matter how it works. So they can shoot up as much poison as they want in my eyes. The amount they pay for horse piss shots ends up being less than the cost of being obese anyway.

Ozempic is probably good because even if all you need to lose weight is the willpower for diet and exercise, which is better than ozempic, people are still fat as fuck. If you can take 1 health damage from ozempic instead of 3 health damage from morbid obesity, you just saved millions of people from morbid obesity and that in turn frees up resources for everyone in society, including non-ozempigs.

If every gen, regardless of race and economic background just turned on the baby boomers to completely remove them from economic and cultural power, shit would instantly improve for us.Will that happen? Sadly no since baby boomers are exceptionally good at divide and conquer. Expect to see that from (you)'s here.>>738815725This, places like Amusement Parks and Airports where your choices are limited will see prices double what they normally are. That said, we're still getting hosed compared to what they were a bit back. I.E. the prices of McDonalds food today, was what it cost to get it at an airport back then.God knows how much they cost at the airport now, I haven't flown in ages.>>738815719>>738815598>>738814363Getting back to Vidya. Unless you see the AI bubble crash, is there any feesable way for RAM and parts to come down to reasonable levels again? It's boggling my find how much AI slop is eating up all the resources that video games prices are getting price increases after launch.
>>738811782Can anyone explain why this guy is a meme
>>738802323About six years ago I stopped going out to eat and started cooking everything. I meal prep my kids and wife's lunches. I make our dinners. Breakfasts are usually something quick and fast like a granola bar or fruit. We go out to dinner maybe twice a year for our anniversary or a birthday. I'm still spending $2000+ a month on food for a family of five. Like, meat is so expensive. Everything is expensive. We are solidly upper middle class and we have to jump through hoops just for this. I have no idea how people who make a quarter of what we do even survive. It's also a complete slap in the face how I live now compared to when I was a kid. Every week my, comparatively more poor, parents would take my brother and I out to dinner on Friday and on the way home we'd rent a movie and video game. That alone would cost $10k a year now just for the dinners. Inflation has turned what used to be a standard middle class lifestyle into a luxury for the rich.
>>738811363You’d be right on the money, even at the height of the great depression Hoover still got that much of the vote while promising to do jack shit to fix the economy.
>>738811973This is true. People were always talking about cheap things were during Uncle Joe's long and glorious tenure.
>>738802323>How are you guys affording to game when the average person cant even afford food or gas anymore?i bought my PS5 and built my PC before i was broke. Ive been unemployed for like a year but i actually start a new job in a few days. Since i have a pc i pirate games on there when they dont have denuvo which saves a lot of money otherwise ill wait till something is on sale
By playing total overhaul mods of games that came out 20 years ago, silly.
>>738816261>Unless you see the AI bubble crash, is there any feesable way for RAM and parts to come down to reasonable levels again?If AI crashes then there will still be a bajillion data centers full of gorillion niggabytes of RAM. Microsoft, Apple and Google will pivot to providing rentable compute where they control everything you're allowed to run on their computers. Nobody will be able to afford a local machine. If you've got a decent rig now, you better pray it doesn't break down because in 10 years there won't be any more replacements.
>>738802715I refuse to believe anyone actually likes that ungodly sweet Papa John's pizza. In all my time eating shitty frozen pizza, to the restaurant slop, to the good shit, I've never had to throw away a pizza after one bite. Surely Papa John's isn't nearly as popular as places like Pizza Hut/Dominoes/Lil Caesars. That being said, Pizza Hut is way too expensive now. It's just unreasonable especially when Pizza Hut has shifted more towards ordering and that extra price on already absurd prices is just not worth it in the slightest. Feels like the quality is whatever for them, their WingStreet collab is probably the best (tasting) part of Pizza Huts at this point, and that's just the Dominoes playbook. And Dominoes is another story, straight up kids lunch pizza lol.Popeyes has severely reduced in quality. Near me multiple joints just taste like dog ass, I kept trying a few times but it's just gotten to the point that it's no longer worth it even for shitty fast food. Price increases don't help, but really it's just the employees don't care, and the ingredients and barely even quality anymore.On a massive scale we've already been ripped off by fast food/restaurant prices for over a decade. People probably exacerbated their wallet issues by ordering online all the fucking time, and now that the economy is taking another COVID tier shit and we haven't gotten actual nation wide wage increases in forever, no one is prepared for this shit. It's the slow death of America that's been happening in plain sight, and every time there's some sort of disaster the economy can't hold itself together because we're technically already deep in the shit. Top American companies are the only things holding us afloat, but in reality none of their money or services alleviate the issues happening to the common people. And all of the government grows more and more incompetent and focused on their own personal financial benefits.
>>738816408i live in a downwardly mobile blue collar town of about 30k. meat at safeway costs twice as much as every other grocery store in the area and the safeway meat department is always busy. $5/lb for pork shoulder there, $1.90/lb where i shop.this post probably isn't useful to you, i've just been wondering how many of the beat-down guys and trailer park families i see shopping there pay those prices and think it's just normal now.
>>738816261RAM prices increased because of micron et al reallocating capacity for enterprise customers (datacenters, cloud, all upstream of "AI")Basically the prices won't come down again unless available capacity for consumers rises relative to demand. Only way that happens is if making consumer RAM becomes more profitable than making enterprise RAM which seems unlikely. Either the demand for enterprise RAM would have to collapse (tech bubble popping) or lag behind supply such that it's oversaturated (unlikely since the entire industry is perpetually hardware-limited)

>>738802323I pirate most of my games along with having a moderate sum of inheritance money, I don't really waste much money on things i don't need however there's no way i'm giving up my quality eats just because the price went up a bit.
>>738816408i live in a country way more expensive than u and i spend 400€ on food per month living alone and that's 20-30% above the nation average. the only way you get that high is because you go to the meat counter too often and spend too much on drinks. for me its the latter and drinks are like 40% of my food budget
>>738816739do americans not have these like random immigrant pizzerias like in yurop? the prices are okay so far, probably because the marinara sauce has some sort of dissolved murder victim inside.
>>738816834They'll just be banned. Already happens in the US with vehicles, you can't buy a cheap and superior chinese EV simply because the government says no. Rationale will probably be "security", they won't even have to write new legislation or anything. Huawei is a potential player in that space and they're already banned all over the place.
>>738816809I'm pretty sure they want you to have kids soon. What happened was:>hiring women and paying them less to make more $>glass ceiling shattered, women now paid the same>import immigrants that will work for cheap instead>ai happens*you are here>ai replaces immigrantsThere will be no need for immigrants soon so they'll try to get population up the old fashion way, if less people are working then they can stay home and raise a bunch of kids for the elites to diddle.
>>738816834Dunno if I want suicidal chink RAM in the machine that stores my favorite porn.
>>738802323I buy pork and chicken for cheap then spend the rest on noodles, beans, pasta, eggs, cottage cheese, rice, and veggies. I've been getting creative with combining all of them in different meals and rotating them. I almost always almost run out of food every month after spending $300 on food. I flat out stopped buying big releases and pirate everything. I said fuck it and started playing my modded DSi XL more often since most new games suck ass these days.
>>738812823>pic rel.>healthierfucking americans man
>>738816934That's where people have been turning to. They're equally as expensive in some places, though generally slightly more affordable. You would assume better quality, but I'm in some shit hole Italian immigrant town surrounded by like 30 Italian and Chinese restaurants and only maybe three joints serve a good pizza, and only one of them is really fucking good all the time, the other two are inconsistent I guess since they probably change out cooks. At least the really good place is the most affordable.
>>738816934NTA but in much of the country all they have are chain pizzerias. It's truly dire, they think Papa John's and Pizza Hut are what pizza is. In the greater NYC area meanwhile there's a random italian guy's pizzeria on every corner, standards are high and the prices are kept low because they're all competing so hard. In a sense they are immigrant pizzerias, just 2-3 generations removed from the actual immigrants who came 100+ years ago. You'll even find clusters of them in Florida because of Italian immigrants to NY having their descendants migrate once again, but between states instead of countries

>>738816408> I have no idea how people who make a quarter of what we do even survive.Just some tips from a cheap ass Jew, in case you aren't aware of them. Meat, you can buy it by the bundle directly from butchers and it works out to way cheaper, if you buy it closer to the expiry date it's also cheaper, just freeze it right away so it doesn't matter. You have to have a big freezer to buy half a cow, but it works out in the long run. Flyers are great, every store has them and you should be shopping them exclusively. Bulk sections are where it's at. Dollar stores are excellent for pretty much everything as long as you don't care that it's not brand name hot sauce. Oatmeal is your friend. Soups, pastas and rice are a staple and you can nutritionally enrich them with cheap additives. I'm not saying inflation isn't a problem and that greed isn't killing us all slowly, just letting you know some ways to save money on groceries if you haven't found them yet.
>>738817078its more like immigrants working with AI will replace every entrylvl job that interfaces with tech in any capacity so uhh like 90% of jobs that need a degree but yeah
>>7388064865 slices of pizza also give more enjoyment than a full priced video game
>>738816739Spending money on shitty fast food is a waste of god damn money. Those jews really believe their food is worth a premium when you can use the money to buy groceries and make the same shit for a third of the price. The only people who still eat over priced fast food these days deserve to get ripped off for being lazy fucks.

>>738817267EU already has a soft ban on Huawei and ZTE, it's not much of a leap to go from "high-risk vendors" to "too high-risk, banned"
>>738816761>>738816898I usually shop at three different stores so I can get the best deals week to week. And yes I do buy a lot of meat, because my sons are growing and active in sports. Meat, eggs, and milk are the three best foods for growing boys. Brain development, muscle growth, skeletal growth. I'm not going to let my kids grow up the be weak, retarded manlets just to save some money; like, they're the top priority over everything else, it's just stupid how expensive it is.
>>738817331it will most likely be nepobabies with those jobs. when you need 15 to 25 people on staff it's a lot different than needing thousands of people. if you want to bribe some politician, you hire their kid and pay them $500,000 to use chatgpt.

>>738818503It's a culture shock to anyone who isn't a zoomer as well. It wasn't like this merely 6 years ago, nobody got anything delivered besides pizza and takeout was usually just fast food or chinese. COVID changed everything. Nobody cares about saving a little money on food because there's nothing to save for. We all know now that if and when SHTF again prices and shortages are going ballistic again anyway, so might as well spend now. This is why gambling is booming too, nobody gives a shit if they have money in the long-term future because there is no long-term future for our money, it's all getting inflated away regardless

>>738818387Yep, eat less exercise more. It's 100% effective. Scientifically proven. It really just starts with walking once a day, it's more to get you into the habit of getting your ass off the couch. After that it flows pretty naturally to being more mobile and active in general, but you have to walk before you can run. I believe in you anon. Start with a 20 minute walk every day, next you'll be doing it for 2 hours, after that you'll be walking up and down stairs, walking around town, you might even take it to the next level and get a personal trainer at a gym who can help you with nutrition. Godspeed.

>>738813847man i dont get it, all of the "default" cheap meats above shit like mechanically pulled chicken and meat pate have doubled or tripled in price since covid...but only if you're buying the most popular brandspam is like 3 times the cost of wal mart "spiced meat in a can"who's buying all the spam? it's still ultra-cheap questionable shit regardless of the name attached
>>738821727presently less than comfortable, pretty bad visible on the horizon. so far 2009 was worse but i don't think that's going to hold.
>>738811878Objectively speaking some politicians are worst.
>>738821490>Amerishart coping that his country isn't a kike puppet lol
>>738821727grim, but it's better than Britain and their green sludge and old spam meat
>>738821727i think even the most delusional are getting cold feet now
>>738821727same shit different dayThe internet always wants everything to sound like a big cataclysmic happening because it grabs eyeballs, but it's notThe US has been declining since at least 2009 and the decline continues, slowly, and may not end for another fifty or a hundred or two hundred years, because historically that's how these things goGas prices are actually getting a little higher now though. Not close to great recession levels but yeah.If you're under 30 then this is what life has always been like pretty much so it's just normal. All the freakouts are from old people who can still remember the 20th century.
>>738821727Eh, depends on a lot of factors. I generally spend around 4k a month but, after taxes, that leaves me about 40k a year in savings. Not going anywhere quick but I have enough to not need to worry about anything.
>>738821727america has pretty much blown its brains out with a rusty gold-plated shotgun
>>738821945>didn't say i was wrong about browns taking over EUlmao the brownie thinks i care about /pol/ shit, im calling EU a shit hole just like france but they're more like shitty dog water to be honest
>>738821727Its just a strange growing period. All of our time-honored hundred year old brands suddenly suck dicks, but the thing is they are all getting btfo by local chains that have been coasting for 50 years and then suddenly boomed to regional expansion during covid. Basically as an economy and culture we are in the process of molting our old dead brands and growing fresh new ones.
>>738822071using a pinky toe to do the triggering
>>738821727slightly worse than a few years ago, but also heavily exaggerated by people that never really had to pay attention to prices beforeit's mostly beef and processed corposlop that's gotten particularly expensive, staple starches and most produce cost about what they did before
>>738822040>I generally spend around 4k a monthdo you have 10 kids and 5 dogs and 8 cars or something or just a peak consoomer?
>>738821727Not nearly as bad as 4chan pretends it is. According to this place we've been in a recession for a year now which isn't true at all.
>>738822154No I just live in New York. I spend very little because video games are a nothing hobby and isolation also means I'm not eating out often.
Is this in California?I can walk to the Marcos near me and get a whole pizza for that price.
>>738822084lol
>>738822274oh, for some reason i thought you meant 4k on food + wants
>>738821727Prices have been rising since Covid but thirdies and euros seem to think it's only been happening since 2025.
>>738802323>dining out for food that costs 2-3x as much as eating basically the same thing from a grocery store>complaining about being able to afford foodLOL
>>738822338No as in 4k leaves my account on average every month. ~$300-400 of that is consumerism and the rest is cost of living / other obligations.
>>738822264>t. retarded migger
>>738821727all the doomposting on social media would make you think we're two weeks from civil war. the truth is things are just more expensive and normies are literally incapable of scaling back retarded impulse expenses (welfare queens not included)
>>738821727Better than the rest of the world but it's still hard
>>738822443There are certain requirements for an economy to be in recession and the US does not meet them no matter how much you want it to be true.
>>738821727I have a "good" job in a low income area (retail management, my taxable income last year was ~$80k). Not really facing hardships, but I also can't afford to improve my life. I'm able to save for the future, but can't actually afford to live how I could have with this job a decade ago.I live in a trailer, can't afford a house. They move quickly and for cash, with new nearby developments at $350k+.Realistically, my best bet is to find a job somewhere with better prospects, but its hard to leave family behind.
>>738822457>>738822480>>738822264>le actually nothing is happening, its just in your head!
>>738822457----direction of time increasing---->----direction of enshitification increasing---->it's kinda like how no one knows why the big bang started in such a low entropy stateexcept here it's just end-stage globalism and capitalismfucking neoliberals ruining evrything
>>738802323I make 80k and live with my parents
>>738822530>be fed and administration>change the requirements for a recession>this somehow will prevent a recessionmiggers everybody
>>738822564every metric (not the government ones ofc) indicates things are not as bad as everyone would like to believe. certainly better off than the rest of the world
>>738822564With all the stupid shit people are buying every day at insane prices, yeah, many parts of the US are fine.The real 'issue' is that the population is so large that even if many, many people are doing well, others are doing very, very poorly. Which again, is true of ever part of the world, it just scales with overall population.
>>738822634Most economists hate this administration, they'd be talking about it nonstop it there was one regardless of anything the fed does. Your desires do not equal reality.
>>738822564Nothing is happening. You just want it to be happening so you can live out your larp fantasies, when in reality you'll be the first to die whenever anythiing bad happens.
>>738822530>wage increases don't match official inflation rate>inflation rate doesn't reflect reality of the value of the dollar>cost of living rapidly outpaced wages, and just keeps going upSure, when you make the rules and say what the rate of inflation is, you can make it all look fine on paper. The actual citizens have to live in reality.
>Monster now cost 2,50€+ a can and rising
>>738822819I think you're confused about what a recession actually is.
>>738822819this. at the end of the day, receipts speak louder than anything else.
I have land to sell.
>>738822564nobody said nothing is happening, they said it's wildly exaggeratedwhich is objectively true, I'll start sweating over the cost of groceries when rice or potatoes cost more than $0.62/lbin the meantime I'll gladly laugh at the tards who think they're too good to eat beans or lentils instead of a steak
>>738822886Ok. Explain it then, as I either misunderstand what it means, or its a nonsense official government stance based on irrelevant numbers they make up.Please, explain both what it is, and why it matters.
>>738822819If inflation outpacing wages is enough to be in recession then we've been in one for at least five years.
>>738822674>>738822705>>738822795>>738822803>fake and gay numbers meant to prop up a speculative economy since reagan>Were also supposed to believe the same administration that fired the labor stats official because he showed trump numbers he didn't like, is some sort of bastion of truth for the heartbeat of the economy>Well actually, Everything is fine chud! stop noticing!
>>738805580how big is your freezer, and why would you freeze them when the whole point is that you buy them perfectly cooked and ready?
>>738822329>EU tard thinks he's exempt from the BIG JEW
>>738823006>tfw can only afford to go out to eat three times a week and spend $1000 a month on stupid shit online while spending $30 a day on lunch aaa help me niggerman
>>738807184what do jews eat? are there secret jewish grocery stores?
>>738822634>HEs such a raped dog he has to use the MLmao @ you>>738823080Never said everything is fine, clearly its not, but to say this falls entirely on the orange man's feet is disingenous. The 6 trillion dollar 2021 save america act over coof is what this ball rolling.But you don't care you just wanna REEEEEEEEE about trump, no worries tho, I'm sure the communist blue people will fix it.
>>738823080I don't rely on statistics I just live in the US where everyone is buying stupid shit constantly with all the money they have. I'm literally noticing while you're trying to throw politics at me.
>>738823060That is, indeed, the direction this have been going for a while. Non-essential spending is down because people can't afford the rapidly increasing cost of entertainment relative to their available wealth. Profits are up because costs have been passed on and multiplied to the consumer at every level, which has restricted discretionary spending.
>>738823021Recession is a period of declining economic activity on multiple fronts. You're solely considering price increases without looking at anything else. Price increases could eventually be the trigger for an actual recession, but that so part hasn't happened yet.
>>738823234>I just live in the USdoubt it favella monkey>>738823226>but to say this falls entirely on the orange man's feet is disingenousHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
>>738802552this I just got habachi steak dinner with more fried rice than I can even eat in a single sitting for 8.99 at a food truck. My mortgage rate on my 5 acre property is only 200usd a month per 15 years by the way.
>>738823427>it's impossible that you live in the US everyone living here must be poor!You're right Anon, all those video games sales in the US are fake as well as all the other stuff being bought by people living here.
>>738823281The (real) value of the dollar has dramatically decreased. The actual, purchase power has fallen far below what official inflation rates suggest. The economy HAS declined, despite reporting record profits, because its all paper increases.ID sales are up in my district ~1-2%, but revenue is up 10-20%. Wage spending is also down. This looks good on paper, but not when you consider that the adult population is up more than the 1-2% here, and that we've had multiple stores in the area shut down recently, we should be seeing a larger ID sale increase that just isn't happening. I work retail. This is all anecdotal and specific to my area, but this isn't an isolated trend.
>>738823427>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAh its a mindbroken TDS riddled GCJ troon. Here I thought you wanted to have a serious conversation.
>>738823479>My mortgage rate on my 5 acre property is only 200usd a monthwhere'd you buy, arkansas?
>>738823754Yes indeed.
Things will get better :)
>>738821727Check back with us after the mid term elections in November, but even that's not a lock because the republicans have rigged things to the point they can just openly declare they don't give a shit about the average America's financial struggles and we need to free up a billion dollars to build the epstien ballroom.Either way there's going to be a massive consumer debt crisis because people still need food and gas to live, and the price gouging is 100% intentional since White House's economic adviser has publicly said credit card spending is through the roof and credit card companies and banks are ecstatic over that.

I have a job.
>>738823743Donounce the talmud now, MIGAgger.
>>738823754>>738823814Don't move here by the way, the niggers are already catching onto this and you won't be able to get a foothold into the local economy. If you're remote work though or just autismbux then come be my neighbor.
>>738822853i remember buying the 24x500ml packs for 34€+5€ shipping couple years back, they were cheap enough to buy in bulk and nowdays i only buy the cheapest of store brand energy drinks and even they are up maybe 50% from 2020.shit's fucked dawg.
