True, you’re definitely missing out on a lot of bulk items, especially when you’re living in a smaller apartment and don’t even have the space to store 10 pound bags. And you pretty much have to go to the store multiple times a week.

Have you considered renting? Depending on the business model, that could be very cheap if it’s just a couple of hours per week.
Depends on how many people live in your household and what you eat. You can probably spend even less if you’re only cooking for one and most meals are ‘beans and rice’-level.
I’d assume that the hard part is finding an affordable place in a somewhat walkable neighborhood in the US, especially if you don’t want to live in a one-room apartment.
Either way, the $50 are really not the important part. It would still be true if you paid $200 and could save $50 by shopping at cheaper supermarkets that are further away.
Surely, there’s an anon out there with more or less the same life, but 10 years older and proportionally worse health.

Conservative lawmakers in the country are furious.English0·2 days agoYou say all that, but where are your lengthy NAZI-mindset comments about other Israel supporters? You brought it up recently about Israel, so you might not be completely full of shit, but you understand why I’m suspicious about it, right?

But Germany is far from being the only country to support Israel’s genocide. Why, then, is this spezifically a “NAZI” thing when Germany does it? Are the US, UK etc. also supporting it because of the “NAZI” element?
I generally support calling it Nazi shit, but somehow these kinds of comments only seem to come up when it’s about Germany.
rumschlumpel@feddit.orgto Hardware@lemmy.world•Tiny Vinyl is a new pocketable record format for the Spotify ageEnglish41·2 days agoIt’s not really worse than CDs in terms of resource use, and unfortunately major music publishers can’t really be trusted with digital formats. If nothing else, it’s (so far) impossible to put direct copy protection on vinyl records.

rumschlumpel@feddit.orgto Europe@feddit.org•German Chancellor Friedrich Merz decided last week to partially suspend arms deliveries to Israel. Conservative lawmakers in the country are furious.English0·2 days agoIt’s misguided to declare it a “NAZI mindset”. This mindset is common in many if not most countries, regardless of whether they were influenced by German Nazis or not. The only thing thing about this that is specifically Germany-related is the idea that Germany must be allied (one-sidedly) with Israel to atone for the holocaust, regardless of how Israel acts.
The masses aren’t smart enough for that, it’s too easy to distract them with some completely blameless minority group.
I can see how people would be squeezed for their labor in traditional capitalism, but the core idea of this post is that the labor isn’t needed. Debt doesn’t have any worth if the debtor has no goods or labor to trade.
With what money are the unemployed supposed to pay for that?

rumschlumpel@feddit.orgto Europe@feddit.org•Russian spy drones are flying over Germany: The Bundeswehr cannot shoot them downEnglish0·5 days agoApparently the government needs a two-thirds majority to pass this kind of law, which usually means that some part of the opposition needs to vote for a law proposed by the government. The two-thirds majority requirement might be due to WW2, but the real issue is that the then-opposition would literally rather have a foreign country continuously violate our airspace than give one crumb to the other side. I doubt the CDU (then opposition, now government leader) actually had much issue with the content of the law.
Also, for a long time this kind of thing just wasn’t necessary. I doubt the sowjets were regularly flying military jets into West German airspace.
Situationial awareness is still necessary to recognize what kinds of situations are problematic and how to stage a wake-up call. Assuming anon is a teenager, there probably isn’t that much they can do to change their situation entirely.
They also raised them with no situational awareness. Being this kind of dumbass will likely hurt them far more in the long run than being a ‘certified freak’.
tfw you live with your parents, the door isn’t locked (could be dumbness, or parents being shitty about locked doors, as seen by mother entering the room without knocking), your screen is facing the door and you’re drawing extra-spicy porn
anon is an idiot.

That’s only a subscription if you keep the car 24/7, it’s a completely different thing if you only rent for a couple of hours per week. Even renting a car for a day (which might be the shortest amount of time you can rent a car in many places) wouldn’t be a subscription.
