It's nothing in the scope of home finances, I don't walk around with that much money, but my home always finds a way to make me spend thousands of dollars on fixing dumb shit every year.
Either way, the point is OP doesn't like his wife spending money on herself, which I think is lame as fuck
When it comes to home finances, $2500 is nothing. It is not cheap to maintain a home. Regardless, that's not what OP was complaining about. His wife is the breadwinner and he is complaining she is spending money on herself essentially. $2500 in credit card debt is not something to get so bent out of shape about - He is a bitch ass and I will die on this hill.
Bro, seriously? $2500 is nothing. I can't believe your post is real, you are being way too dramatic over this. She is the breadwinner, let her spend money on herself and don't make her feel so guilty she had to hide this pocket change from you - clearly you are too controlling with this. Tell her your a bitch ass for even thinking this is a major problem and letting it upset you. Laugh, tell her you will work on yourself and move on.
Conservatives were always about what Trump is about, they only hid behind dog whistles pre-Trump, but nothing is different. The only difference, Trump was too dumb to understand he was supposed to not say the quite stuff out loud
Good analysis, but I'd say your not taking a vital factor into account with "AI", it's only going to get better, and crooks, conmen, corporations, etc are going to find new ways to weaponize it. I use LLM's often, and for my purposes, they are truly amazing (now that Google search is fucking useless)
I refuse to pay for a subscription where I don't own the music. CD's, records, tapes - I still do it. I do need to start ripping mp3's off YouTube more though - just a matter of time before shit starts disappearing
First, link some sources of how China/CCP is using TikTok in anyway different that Facebook to get data on its users, specifically the comparison to malware. I don't think OP is overreacting and I do think this is a slippery slope (some entity outside US jurisdiction owns a successful app - this is clearly a message to all other companies and startups outside US jurisdiction that they will meet the same fate if their idea becomes too successful). And yes, I'm sure you will "but but CCP" here, and I will say show me proof TikTok is doing something nefarious (that's any different than what current platforms are doing - all I've ever heard is fear mongering that China "could" do something something etc blah blah)
Yeah I think there is a bit of a disconnect with gun people. Some people are purely about self defense, some people are just genuine enthusiasts, and then there is the group of people who like to pretend they are part of the first two groups but really seem to have a lust for blood - be it fear (someone rings the door bell, or mistakenly drives down the driveway), perceived persecution, political ideology or just downright racist shit.
Antigun people seem to think everyone who likes guns is part of the last crazy group. It's a bit hard to really tell who is who sometimes, but it's definitely impossible to keep the guns out of the crazies hands.
