That’s pretty sick actually

Still gets security updates. All the software I need to run on it runs on it.

My email, desktop, and calendar all still sync with my newer desktop. I can still play StarCraft. I can join zoom meetings while running Roll 20. I can even run Premiere and do video editing… to a point.

I guess if you need the latest and greatest then you might have a point, but I don’t.

This whole thread is bitching about software bloat and Apple does that to stop the software bloat on older machines, but noooo that’s planned obsolescence. 🙄

Weren’t you just complaining about software bloat?

And the apple haters will keep making this exact same comment on every post using their 3rd laptop in ten years while I’m still using my 2014 MacBook daily with no issues.

Be more original.

We could just give up on the idea that natural gas is “clean.”

Producing hydrogen from natural gas still releases carbon in to the air.

So much porn

No

I don’t actually care. I just commented to just the balls of all the people always saying the same thing on iPhone threads.

Downvote away folks!

Should I mention that I’ve been able to do this on an iPhone for a long time already?

I mean, it would make it easier to understand who we’re voting for.

Right right. OK let me amend: I wish I was a deluded narcissist born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

Man, I wish I was a deluded narcissist. Life sounds pretty good for them.

Yeah that’s pretty much what I’m saying. The elites are doing better than ever while we struggle.

My situation isn’t going to be all that helpful for you.

My take-home has actually dropped by about $60,000/year, but that’s because I went back to school during that 8 years for a career change after hitting a dead end.

Now, I work far fewer hours than I did in the old career as I’m still working my way up in the new one. Hourly though, I make about 25% more in the new career than the old.

Now I’m single with no kids, so going back to school was an option for me. It won’t be an option for everyone.

I’ll chime in here.

So… I buy the cheapest bologna I can buy for my work lunches.

I switched to the cheapest brand I could in 2016 when I consciously made the decision that I don’t care if my lunch is good as long as I have sustenance to get me through the day.

The bologna I used to buy for $1.25/pack in 2016 is now $3.29 at the same store.

My wages have gone up, but they have not more than doubled since 2016 like the price of bologna has. I think this is a good metric for comparison because we truly do live in a bologna economy.

A side note: expecting strangers to give you exact numbers about their wages on the internet is pretty ridiculous.
