“Millionaires row” could also describe any collection of homes on Long Island above 2000sqft at this point.

No. However if you’re the type of person to ask in this question, you should be invested in a target date fund. As part of the way they attempt to hedge for retirement, the include exposure to international funds and bonds.

I feel like they need to break this down by age a lot more than they do.

In today’s day and age, it’s perfectly normal for a parent to offer significant financial support to their 20 year old child. While adulthood technically begins at 18, society is structured in a way that encourages some form of education/training through the rest of our teens and early twenties. A lot of this time adults in that situation will be setting themselves up for success, but not in a position where they currently have meaningful income. Parents helping out enables them to lay the groundwork for being independent later on in life.

On the flipside a 30 year old receiving relying on their parents is a wtf moment 9/10.

Another consideration is independent adults moving in with their parents for the purpose of acting as a caregiver. While that’s a problem for society, it’s a completely different problem than adults needing parental contributions to survive.

I mean sure but on some level you need to accept that the world can be terrible and you need to make the best of the circumstances you are in.

I’m not saying those people lighting Teslas on fire are right or mentally sound, but they are better off than the people who want to do that only to doomscroll all day before crying themselves to sleep.

I feel like all these decisions don’t mean anything until the justice department case resolves.

I mean yeah honestly a huge part of European national identities seems to be getting subsumed by philosophies that originated and primarily exist in the US.

I’d imagine that Trump serves as a wake up call in regards to that stuff, but at the end of the day I’m not French.

The only time I’ve heard of “bury your gays” was Voltron, which IMO was a good series that was murdered by a fandom that resented it for not being their personal self insert fan fiction.

Look man this “grown adult acting like a middle school bully” thing worked on reddit in 2019 because everyone was terminally online and you’d be backed up by twenty plus commenters hurling vitriol.

It’s 2025. There are maybe 15 people total interacting with this post. I have a life in a way that was impossible during the covid era.

Grow up.

Sure, but the vast majority of people realize what’s going on if an IP starts rambling on about freedom, Jesus, or the thin blue line. You can make comments about those things being transparent pandering and the overwhelming majority of people will just believe you.

Meanwhile up until recently that wasn’t really true with liberal pandering, and it still isn’t in a lot of spaces.

One thing to note is that I disagree with you on using Chick-fil-A as an example. They are true believers when it comes to this stuff, and half their claim to fame is being good to such an extent that liberals eat there anyway.

The difference between actual diversity revolves around tokenization, flanderization, homogenization, and of course gaslighting.

“culture war” minority characters are often inserted into narratives where they don’t quite fit, are often one dimensional characters, and often all act in a certain way based off their race/gender/sexuality combo, and are often inserted to gaslight anyone who has an issue with the low quality of the underlying product into thinking all criticism is bigoted.

It’s the last point that both you and Ubisoft are leveraging right now. If they replaced Yasuke with some burly Japanese dude, the entire discourse would be centered around how this game is a mid-at-best title for way too much money.

Instead asshole stans like you come out of the woodwork to push a narrative that most negative criticism centered around bigotry.

There are plenty of IPs with minority characters that don’t get shit on, because both the IP and the characters are actually good.

Enjoy your $70 mid-fest.

Okay so explain to me why things like Spiderverse and Baldur’s Gate receive nearly ubiquitous acclaim in ways Snow White and Assassins Creed doesn’t.

It’s a giant scam to get people to defend low effort mediocre content.

It worked for a while, because there was 100 percent a subset of people who just bought games because of social media hype. The combination of the changing media landscape and economic environment has resulted in this falling apart.

Look if you can’t tell the difference between actually well designed games with a diverse cast and Ubisoft crap number 12 then that’s on you.

I feel like a huge portion of corporate America has adopted the following strategy:

• Half ass a product despite a comically large budget, resulting in a product that ranges in quality from mediocre to downright terrible
• Stick some culture war shit somewhere in the product
• Expect reviewers to give you overwhelmingly positive reviews based off political virtue signaling
• Put a magnifying glass on the vocal minority of genuinely toxic fans, so that you can claim everyone who doesn’t like the mediocre product is toxic
• bullshit about sales numbers
• Obfuscate individual success/failures on earnings reports, and blame overall underperformance on “macroeconomic conditions”

Like at this point it’s on me for engaging with these posts I guess.

This sub is Musk spam.

Great. Less time dealing with someone trying to bullshit me.

In other words you don’t give a shit about facts so long as they fit your worldview.

Nobody is this stupid. You’re being intentionally dishonest.

USDA isn’t the private sector. There are strict rules against firing the vast majority of employees. It’s why Trump has largely gone after probationary employees, as they have less protections. Even that has been wrapped up in several different ongoing court cases.

There are also mortgage forbearance programs designed for temporary job loss. Even without them, foreclosure is a lengthy process. It’s not something that’s initiated after one missed payment.

So for this story to be true:

1. OP, a progressive Twitter influencer, lives next to a hardcore MAGA republican. Unlikely, but relatively common
2. Said MAGA republican is also a federal government employee. More unlikely, but still relatively common
3. Said federal government employee is among the roughly 10 percent of government workers that are probationary. Relatively rare, but not unheard of
4. Despite being new to federal employment and federal employment known for someone that you do for the long haul for pension reasons, OP’s neighbor has the money to buy a house. Relatively rare, but not unheard of
5. Despite having the finances for a home, is in such dire straits that the only option after one missed paycheck is to sell their home. Very rare, but not unheard of
6. Despite being very into politics and a government employee, is wholly unaware of the pending legal actions against said firing, including the current rulings reversing the staffing cuts.

All of this is possible. The world is a strange place. However the confluence of all those things being true is highly improbable, perfectly matches the “dumb conservatives gonna regret their choice” narrative progressive influencers push, and is sourced from a platform known for being full of misinformation and bait.

• On Twitter, the site known for random misinformation
• OP knows their neighbor well enough to know where they work, despite that not being nearly as common these days and OP not seeming like the kind of guy that would befriend Trump supporters
• OP’s neighbor is one of the minority of federal workers who are probationary employees, because that’s the only group Elon has been able to really fire right now
• OP’s neighbor simultaneously being a homeowner with a previously-stable job, but being in such dire financial straits that simply missing two paychecks results in a complete crashout.
• OP’s neighbor then selling the house instead of taking advantage of the large number of hardship programs that would be available for someone with issues paying their mortgage, at least temporarily.

Like is this possible? Yes. However it’s highly implausible, and conveniently matches the whole “stupid Drunpf supporters regret their decision” narrative that both Lemmy and reddit absolutely adore. To take this at any sort of face value without any genuine shred of concrete evidence is insane.
