If they really want to get out of their situation, they will have to live frugally while saving money.

This means doing things like finding the cheapest place to rent (probably with roommates) and always cooking your own meals. If you really are struggling, then make sure you also get the government benefits that you are eligible for.

But most people think they’re “too good for that” while complaining they don’t have enough money, which is where entitlement comes in.

Please don’t pretend that most renters are doing everything they can to save money. They aren’t. Every renter I know that complains about not having enough money isn’t living in the cheapest spot, orders food all the time, and subscribes to things they can be getting for free.

It’s overwhelmingly people who are bad with money and think they’re entitled to more before others have less.

I think zionists are starting to infest lemmy.

They know how threatening it is to have a platform where people aren’t loyal to their cause.

It’s the snowball effect.

Most people can’t think for themselves, so they just do what everyone else is doing.

If you deviate from the crowd, then you’re in the wrong.

Yeah. Closing threads after a few days or getting mad at users for replying to old posts is stupid and bandwagony.

Weird how it requires all of that for http requests.

Something tells me it could be more efficient.

They won’t.

Most people renting are going to be renting until they die.

They’re just too stupid with their money and think they’re entitled to more than they can afford.

Edit: And they get mad whenever anyone calls it out.

It would be better if soldiers could recognize when they’re being used as pawns vs. actually fighting for what they believe in.

Ukraine never had a chance without foreign troops on the ground.

On the last day of his life, two and a half weeks ago, the shepherd and his wife got up at 5:30 A.M., as usual, and immediately went out together to milk the ewes.

Can we please stop with this dramatization?

Edit: All the downvoters probably did poorly in social studies. Did you all pay attention when they taught you about journalistic integrity? Judging by how most of you argue, I’m guessing you slept through that just like the lessons on citing.
