I’m sure some middle class people can afford to go to burning man. But you’re being wilfully ignorant if you think burning man isn’t catered to the rich. It’s almost purely a status symbol event. It’s definitely where people go to show off their lavish wealth and take pictures for Instagram. I’m pretty sure if they took a survey 80%+ would be wealthy people.

I’m middle class, and I’m spending a couple hundred dollars on my holiday this week, I almost can’t fathom spending thousands living in a tent in a desert.

But you’re right, the middle class has been eroded. What was considered middle class in 1970 would be rich today. That’s just because most people are worse off financially.

If you’re spending upwards of $1000 on a few days you’re probably rich.

Bit late to the party, but either Mortal Engines, the Young James Bond series, or Michelle Paver’s Chroncal’s of Ancient Darkness. They were all very engaging and transformative to a young me.

I probably remember parts of Young James bond the best, there’s parts about leeches that really stuck with me. I can still remember Mortal Engines as a whole in great detail, the concept and descriptions of the city chases are fantastic.

It’s probably a case where Russia could attack Poland’s forces in Belarus but attacking Polish soil would involve article 5.

Most of it is contained to Reddit related communities, just block them if you don’t want to see the downfall of Reddit in real time.

I’ll be a bit scared doing that, with all the instances I’ve been thinking how easy it will be to have malware links. How is shi.t.justwo.rks or whatever less random than a malicious link?

Time wasting sites like YouTube or TikTok have been blocked in schools for as long as I can remember.

I’m more addicted to my phone, it’s just lemmy is what’s easiest to continuously scroll through at this point.

Nope.

You don’t need to port forward or anything for Plex to work outside your network, right? That’s the whole point of Plex. All my friends can access my server wherever.

Nah but it’s been so long I have no clue what any of them taste like at this point, they can’t be that different.

Small doesn’t automatically mean better, it’s about the cooking process, speed, and cuisine. There are far better types of food I’d go for.

More talking about eating it regularly, I just don’t get it. If I’m at a service station in the middle of nowhere, sure I’ll eat a McDonald’s. But in a city, with hundreds of better options, I don’t get why anyone would choose it over better takeaways.

All I’m saying is I don’t get it, I haven’t eaten enough to know the differences in any of their food. You could put every frie(fry?) And every burger from every FF chain and I wouldn’t be able to identify a single one.

Same, but at least it’s delicious.

Tbf I only have about 5 of these FF places in my country.

Maybe in food related matters but in life, no.

There are just so many better options for takeaways. Fast food is like bottom of the barrel, if I absolutely have to kinda food.

Do people eat enough fast food to have a favourite? I’ve probably eaten fries from a fast food place under 10-15 times in my life.

Yes, but more so because of my tinitus. It fucking sucks, I can’t really focus on reading books because the silence is deafening.

Yup, at that point my social anxiety of smelling bad in public is stronger than my depression.

Oh well that’s a good start, still not an app and I’m not gonna browse on the website, it’s shit imo.

Would probably come up when you search nostupid while looking for c/nostupidquestions. It’s just whether people are smart enough to figure out they should ask there instead.
