Writing something for needy housewifes?

bitter agate
#

Who can afford a housewife these days? We need two incomes to get by...

peak folio
#

Last I heard it takes 2.5 median incomes to afford a median priced home.

#

in the US

#

Rural homes are the most affordable, especially in red cities and states

peak folio

“Median” implied the normalized amount

bitter agate

#

I was going to say, people who talk about high prices usually use a specific area that has the highest average out of the lot. That those pictures of gas being $8+gal all come from areas that already suffer from extreme self imposed bloat.

It's still $2.49gal here baybee.

Over $6/gal here Dx

Steam is adding better price info for games.
︀︀
︀︀New code shows they will put the full 30-day price history right on Steam store pages.
︀︀This includes a "30-DAY LOW" label and helpful discount tips based on the real lowest price in the past month.
︀︀
︀︀It has been required in the EU since 2023.
︀︀
︀︀This gives Steam the same easy price tracking that GOG already has.

IMPORTANT CENSORSHIP NEWS:
︀︀
︀︀FAKKU has contacted me and told me the recent censorship on their site is thanks to Payment Processors.
︀︀
︀︀FAKKU told me its okay for me to share our DMs to break this news to all of you before they make their official post announcing it
︀︀
︀︀FAKKU is a legal site that houses adult Manga for those unaware of them.
︀︀
︀︀They directly told me they will be looking into legal action against card companies restricting artistic expression in manga.
︀︀
︀︀For awhile now Payment Processors have been strangleholding them and demanding censorship
︀︀
︀︀Japanese authors have recently opened up about these issues and it appears FAKKU is trying to create alternative payment methods outside of VISA and Mastercard
︀︀
︀︀So to clarify FAKKU is siding with creators and is taking a stand against censorship

Somebody actually pushing back

humble parrot
#

Didn't payment processors get warned for debanking

peak folio
#

They did.

#

It wasn’t directly related with this sort of thing although it got reported that way.

#

Debanking has been something that’s been happening to people for wrongthink

humble parrot
#

This is just going to turn crypto into the alternative

bitter agate
#

They want to get rid of cash... They've already made crypto useless. Digital banking currency incoming.

peak folio
humble parrot
#

Hmm

royal shuttle
#

Unless payment processers are being forced by governments to decline payments, they are well within their rights as an involved party in a transaction to decline being a part of that transaction. The alternatives would be to violate the NAP and force an unwilling transaction through intimidation and force via the State, or to use a different payment method that will process the payment.

#

It's only censorship if it's a result of State actions.

peak folio
#

Refusing a payment for fraud is one thing, refusing payment because they don’t like Japanese manga absolutely crosses the line. There is no ambiguity here.

#

If you’ve been following the situation you’d know that nothing you pointed out is true.

royal shuttle
#

Not really, there are 3 parties involved when you try to make any exchange when using a payment processer. In order to not violate the NAP, each of the 3 parties must engage in the transaction voluntarily. If you don't want your money to be declined for some purchases due to the preferences of a 3rd party you bring into the transaction, then use a different payment method that doesn't include an unwilling 3rd party. That would either be a competing payment company or a direct payment solution like a stable crypto currency.

You're one of those people who are all "yea, no government! Corps will save us, everything is contracts!"...

When Valve took down several anime style mature games from Steam on the behest of payment processors, we all saw the slippery slope.

#

Isn't "stable crypto currency" basically an oxymoron? I don't really follow crypto but from what I've heard basically all of them fluctuate pretty freely

peak folio
#

The notion of “stable coins” is an amusing one, but I honestly never looked into it.

bitter agate
#

They're only as stable as the currency they're based on... So not really stable

In the early says of BTC I’ve seen a number of online stores offer it as a payment option including Newegg, but it was just too volatile to be useful.

Where as in Valheim I parry 99% of the time

So yes that checks out

barren sierra
#

Roll dodge is a bit iffy in valheim, blocking just pays off more

#

Youl only use roll dodge in boss fights you can't cheese anyways

#

Cause blocking and parrying in valheim a boss is often near suicide

hearty sonnet
#

Nah the dodge roll works fine, it's reliable, you just can't stagger the enemy by dodging lol

And besides if you use a sword you can just sneak in double hits trough the roll reset

I feel like payment processing needs some sort of Metamorphosis.
And devolve back to what it's supposed to be there for, just processing the Fakku payment.

teal iron
#

I feel like the job of a payment processor is to process payment, and anything further should be handled by other parties

#

I don't know why they're so worried about their "reputation" like
Nobody even thinks of you as a party, you are viewed as a machine, another cog in the system, a mindless entity which will carry out its function
And even if people didn't like Visa where would they go
Mastercard?
There are literally two options and I think a significant portion of the population genuinely thinks they are the same thing

#

"protecting reputation" is a performative act to entertain the delusion that they aren't a monopoly

humble parrot
#

Illegal debanking like this has hurt their "reputation" more tbh

teal iron
#

Yeah exactly, when people thought of them as nothing but another cog, they were pretty well trusted

#

But now that this otherwise forgettable entity is suddenly demanding that its conditions be met or else, I would be more reluctant to trust them

#

Like what if they make an irrational demand that affects me?

peak folio
#

“reputation” they don’t give two shits about.

#

They just say that

teal iron
#

What else could possibly matter to the money corporation

humble parrot
#

Anyways, I think Fakku has an easy win here, on illegal debanking grounds.

teal iron
#

They already have all the money

#

And by extension, all of the power

humble parrot
#

VISA/Mastercard will likely try to settle to avoid creating a precedent

teal iron

so are they like, toddlers who just feel the need to push buttons simply because they can

teal iron
#

There's no real benefit to exerting that power, they know it

#

Like, that's less money for them, more incentive to create a competitor, and in this world more crosshairs on their executives' heads

#

If we didn't have the old double standard we wouldn't have any standards at all

teal iron

We WFH before it was cool

I actually had a teacher ask us once why we growned so much at homework.
She said she made sure to assign items that wouldn't take more than 30 minutes and we get 2 afternoons to complete it.

And we piped up with how we have 8 classes in the span of 2 days.
We have homework from all 8.
We get home 3:30/4:00 with 4 assigments an afternoon.
If they take 30 minutes each, and we understand it, that is 2 hours of homework.
Now it is 5:30/6:00 pm.
Dinner time.
It is now 6:30/7:00 pm.
Showers 7:30/8:00 pm.

That gives us 1 to 2 hours of us time if we don't have chores.

When I see that commercial of the woman in a parent teacher meeting doing this math on the board, it makes me wonder if it was someone in that class making the commercial xD

#

After that day, the teacher made sure we had time in class to do homework she assigned or other homework.

#

The worst were those teachers that assigned Friday homework.
"You have all weekend, that is plenty of time."

See but he's so based because he said later that this was completely intended, he wanted it to be basically free for home users because "pirating it" was as easy as clicking an x
But large businesses NEED to stay above board on that, they would have to buy the license, as a matter of protocol.

#

So the software "costs money" but only really for the businesses that could easily afford it

Which should be the standard for powerful utility software; free for hobbyists and the like, expensive for the corporations

The only thing HOA's deserve is malicious compliance, and that's if we're in a good mood
Malicious noncompliance should be the norm

I wont live anywhere where an HOA exists

To me, an HOA should pay for things like lawn service, trash service, events for the neighborhood, upkeep of the roads, upkeep of any amenities.

That is it imo.

#

But, they don't do that.

I dont tolerate an HOA’s existence anywhere near where I live

Buying food to feed 1 or 2 people rn comes out to an awful price per meal at least on this side of the pond.

#

Unless you’re fine with an excessive amount of leftovers

its bad but not so bad here, you still often live paycheck to paycheck

And pray nothing breaks in the house

I can get a decent chunk of meat on the low from bazaar vendors which is nice

#

And most staple vegetables are still cheap

peak folio
#

I’m just saying getting things in small amounts to cook costs more than takeout

#

Which is ridiculous

barren sierra
#

idk takeout and "would be cheap fast food" isn't affordable here, never was

peak folio
#

I mean it’s not, lol

#

But economies of scale are at play.

#

But buying bulk loads for two people will just waste most of it and you don’t save anything anyway.

But the alternative is get cancer so w/e. croajirokek

i have 2x 500 L freezers and a 250 liter fridge , im good

Always smart to stock up here on a budget

Then again, im bored enough to travel 16 km on foot just to buy my mother her fav ice cream that only sells at the edge of the town

#

So im not your common shopper

barren sierra
#

doesnt want anything canned, Won't eat raw meat, and her pompous ass will only eat a specific type of dry food

#

i have to fry her liver, chicken crisps and other nonsense

#

At times i suspect its a skin walker that understands i have thin skin when it comes to animal care

night plume
#

Coming in at that message was confusing as can be and made me wonder for a moment if you cooked human liver >.>

#

When I get take out, I am very particular about where I get it.
I try to make sure the 2 meals don't go over $30 bc I can get a decent amount of groceries with that (whole chicken, some veggies, rice, boxed side dish, and this is if the items aren't on sale).

barren sierra
#

Thats fair, its hard to judge me given my aggression towards the upper class of my company

#

its fair to assume I'd eat someone if they piss me off enough

night plume
#

No offense, but I could see you eating someone out of morbid curiosity for taste and techniques

#

in not offended cause you ain't wrong

but for legalities i must decline the offer

#

also 30€ was about my bbq for Easter for 4 people (and a dog)

#

containing both meat and veggies

#

Approximately 4 kg of meat and around 1 kg of veggies + 500 gram Pack of mushrooms cause im a slut for it

#

for 30 otherwise I think I can live for a full week if i get lucky on prices

I often buy pork picnic cuts bc they are sold for around $1 per pound.

I get the butcher to cut them down to 1 to 1.5 pound portions and I make various meals of them. They make very good pulled pork.

I stock up on chicken when it is on sale. I am loving the.... Carp what is that stupid thing called...? That device that sucks the air our of the bag and seals the, VACUUM SEALER.

I'm loving the vacuum sealer.

carp as In the fish

Most of the stores I would stock up at have gone out of business.
And I will have to be borderline starving b4 I buy meat from Walmart >.>

night plume

#

i have the luck of several bazars in town where villagers sell their produce

#

So i can live on super cheap if im bored enough to haggle

#

i will very rarely buy in bigger stores, as you said, id have to be starving without options

The little mom and pop style stores here are too expensive x.x

# night plume I bought some hamburger meat from them. When I opened, the smell was so bad I ha...

Yeah I mostly avoid ground meat in general. It's either just decent or a bacteria factory

I do sometimes get walmart rotisserie chicken (sam's, same brand) but I have to be in the mood to cut up and portion an entire chicken, which is not often lol. I honestly don't get enough protein because my only quick options are breaded nuggets/fish sticks or canned anchovies/pouched salmon (both scents my SO loathes)

#

and the anchovies aren't even cured. Just fresh in oil which has barely any smell compared to most cured anchovies

#

I did recently get some SPAM turkey just to try it out because it surprisingly isn't cut with corn syrup, but the can was way smaller than I expected it to be for the cost

I’m still convinced it’s every much as much nonsensical as it sounds.
