The current SE 3rd gen utilizes an A15 chip, same as used in the iPhone 13 and 14, for $429. Yeah, it’s smaller (which I like, fits in my pocket easily) but the whole idea is to recommennd a mid-range phone that’s not an Android.

“To the capitalist, every luxury of the worker seems to be reprehensible, and everything that goes beyond the most abstract need - be it in the realm of passive enjoyment, or a manifestation of activity - seems to him a luxury.” - Karl Marx

LOL, the fact that you are land lord does not surprise me in the least.

Policing other people’s poverty is rarely helpful, and in this case is a manufactured distraction. While some portion of the 57% that can’t afford an emergency are in some way responsible for their plight, in no way is their iPhone or used truck the overall root cause. Your complaint is anecdotal at best, and entirely…

I get what you’re saying, but no need to rag on iPhones. The iPhone SE is a perfectly nice phone at a mid-range price if you like iOS better than Android. It’s what I have and I could afford any Apple model, I just choose to not over-buy for my needs.

I don’t agree with that re: effort.

The title of this article has real “The Onion making fun of Lifehacker” vibes.

People who work in the fast food industry do not work hard and are not successful and make bad life choices?

I am going to guess you live in a low cost of living area, have no kids, are single, and your healthcare is paid (or heavily subsidized) by your employer? Seems like a good candidate for FIRE.

Surprised this wasn’t mentioned in the article, but IMO the most insidious component of lifestyle creep is the company you keep. I suppose for most (it is the case for me) that their circle of friends have people that vary in terms of wealth and how they choose to spend their money. Coming into more money can open the…

The paths you’re describing are the paths of least resistance. You’re probably right — all these decisions, in taking the other choice, would probably have resulted in a better outcome for him. But, there is a kind of heroism in taking the high road and following your instinct versus marrying a little girl who’s a…

Matt Smith steals every scene he shows up in. As soon as the camera focused on his face in the Vale you just knew his poor wife was gonna die by the menace he exuded.

I’d push back a little bit on the “random courterior” description - the sworn protector of the bride-to-be just brutally murdered the sworn protector of the groom-to-be in front of everyone, kinda puts a damper on all of the wedding festivities when viewed in that light...

Let’s pour one out for Rhea Royce.  She seemed like an absolutely awesome character and stole that scene for the brief 90 seconds we met her.  She seemed like Brienne of Tarth and Leanna Mormont rolled into one gorgeous human.  

He quickly confesses, and that’s how Alicent learns that Rhaenyra lied to her face. Another fuse is lit.

Okay, so I’m not the only one. I was reading this thinking I must have really not been paying close attention.

I don’t find Viserys to be an enormous fuck-up.  At least he shows up to all his High Council meetings, which Robert Baratheon couldn’t be bothered to do.  He’s not a childish sadist like Joffrey Baratheon, and he’s not a child like Tommen.  He doesn’t wield the throne as a hammer of vengeance against his enemies like…

I don’t want to be a hater, but none of this episode made much sense to me. 

First of all, what I said was obviously hyperbole (surprise! It’s an Internet website comments section!)
