  • I literally went through this pyramid while standing in the LEGO store a couple years ago. Was like, yeah you know what, this will bring me a lot of joy for years both building it and looking at it. Also it was right after it came back in sale and they were $1000 on eBay. So I was like yeah I need to buy it now! So yeah anyway I spent $800 on a LEGO set lmao






  • Except when said healthcare is gated off for the protected class by cost or being and to work a certain type of job, that pool only helps those swimming in it. Here in the US ACA has done some to narrow that gap but it’s still not enough. The proper model is everyone has a mandatory contribution % of their income above a poverty line. Then we see the pool truly helping those who cannot afford it and even those who can because care is standardized.

    I did research a bunch of communities and YouTube videos of people’s sim rigs first and how the games worked. Then decided if I got into the games I wouldn’t really enjoy them without some hardware (wheel/pedals) which turned out to be the case. And yeah didn’t get all the hardware I now use all at once and plan on some future upgrades like a stand to mount everything. Kinda like how flight sim players prefer their own sticks if that makes sense.

    Haha I did buy the gear as I bought the games, but not before I read a ton of posts and watched a bunch of YouTube videos for a few months to get a feel for the games and the gear. I eventually was like “ok I think I’ll love this but hate it without any gear” which was very much the case haha. I totally love it and keep watching/reading about the sims and trying to improve my setup. I also didn’t buy it all at once that’s true.

    I suppose I can see what ya mean especially if they think their gear makes them superior in some way or covering up skill issues. For the sim community it’s not really as big of a deal because everyone is really chill there isn’t much competition. We’re basically all nerds who love to dial up immersion.

    Sure is, where’s that applied to something used 40+ hr a week? You really don’t know who you’re talking to - I’m the guy with hardware purchased 20+ years ago and will repair them and they move with me.

    I spend $$$$ on pro-grade gear but because I’m /c/buyforlife. Don’t be mad because people have different views on frugality than you.

    See your other comment defending gatekeeping, strange hill bb, but like I said envy not a good look tbh.




  • This. It wouldn’t surprise me if it comes out years later she was basically forced in this position because of ongoing peace negotiations. She’s not stupid, her staff isn’t stupid, bring pro no refugee murder is a very obvious stance. Israel, for whatever fucking reason, has us by the balls. Hopefully one day that changes and they’re just out there in their own like every other asshole. Also BB knows the more fucked up shit he does during the election cycle the better chances he’ll get the guy he wants in. Watch peace suddenly be an option when it’s clear Harris is going to claim victory.
