Neither I nor my brother get allowance

There’s the article for anyone who wants to contract a disease

bringing the average down I see

My birthday/Christmas gift growing up was that I was allowed to buy a PS2.

⛏🔨🗡this england 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

lol

Hmm. I grew up with 3 sisters. Guess who mowed the lawn and chopped firewood. Of course boys are gonna get more allowance

Okay. This line is actually kinda upsetting: "In year 7, 15 per cent of girls could not name either their mother’s or father’s jobs.
In comparison, only 6 per cent of boys did not know. Girls in year 11 still stood at 9 per cent."

Hmm 🤔

damn where was my $13?

Wow..how entitled.. I never had pocket money.

hell where was my $9.60? i got a dollar a week lmao

But that's normal in the east europe I guess

My dad has had like 6 jobs in the past two years so at this point I've lost track

My allowance went to pay for our internet

The age is a treasure trove of pathetic

It’s amazing

Here’s another

I got decent pay, but thats because i did chores like putting in new flooring and bolting down/tarring new tin roofing

damn those are hardcore chores, i just did stuff like mowing the lawn and walking the dog

r/politics is cancer

baby boys make more money than baby girls through accidental consumption of nickels. change my mind.

Yeah, my parents would give me cash for some real actual work, not house chores.. The idea of getting money every week from parents just because they are my parents is pretty alien to me.

Same

Bolting down roofing is so fun. Being up on a roof as a 14 year old with no harness and an impact driver is exhilarating.

I never had an allowance, but I didn't really do any work so it didn't matter

damn. when i was 14 i couldnt stop touching my weewee long enough to climb up on a roof

'course, that was the year we got internet...

haha

Lol. Renovating old houses was more fun than touching le dingaling

even when i did get internet in '96 it was dial up so i rarely saw any vag. screen usually stopped loading after the boobs

well yeah, i mean when we upgraded to useable internet. i never had the patience for dial-up

Ugh, I remember trying to download roms on dial up

plus my parents made a lot of use of the home phone

I saw that The Age article on my FB feed earlier kek

Yeah, first years of internet for me wasn't porn at all. Impossible. I was happy I could paly Ultima and don't exceed my limits. Which, iirc was about 500mb

Dunno why, but dial up used to have data limits here

Which is more surprising when ADSL came out, no data limits at all.

Its crazy, i can download any old rom i want now in like half a second, and ive got crappy wifi by todays standards. Kids these days have it so good. Too bad they're all being turned into commies at public school

it seems like the younger generation is rebelling

That's the problem with instant gratification

surprise surprise

Yep

hurray for rebellious teenagers

y-yaaay...

They are punishing kids for having best friends now. My buddies kid got a 5 minute timeout in kindergarten for refusing to not have a best friend.

Tell the young'uns they should be mavericks, not rebels. Decide what you like and what you don't. Don't automatically assume it's all bad

I dont like hearing the word maverick anymore. Reminds me of those Paul brothers

generally rebelliousness comes first, and then kids grow into having their own opinions

Big cringe

row row fight da kindergarten teacher

Can't say "row, row." That implies work. And work is privilege

Gosh darn bourgeoisie working class oppressing us upper middle class proletariat.

/s

which channel we post twitter stupid ?

shitposting'

well this is interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8EF07AiI-I

DIS IZ A WAAAGH

wow not only 2 hours ago were people talking about furries XD, but I digress how is everyone here tonight

Mildly annoyed with the amount of fireworks in my neighborhood

also, there is always time to talk about furries

huh im out in mariposa on vacation so I don't have that issue lol

always

I'm presuming you are one?

....no

*eye darts side to side*

rofl

im here cause I love tim pool he's honestly my favorite news source he's simple he's solid

tbh he'd never be the same if he was in a professional studio

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy

Yeah, Tim is great guy

tim is the next evolution in journalism when ever we get of this shit show cycle hopefully

Tim is an anomaly, very few journalist, let alone independent ones, are as unbias as him.

>used to have hate-love relationship with Tim
Loved his work, hated his opinions cus I was much further from the center back when I found him hehe

Pretty sure his work helped me get from the bad influences that were pulling more to the extremes

Well, guess I hated his work at times when it didn't fit my narrative

how can you have a narrative as an individual

I think we were all in a position where we couldve gone off the deepend, but lucky enough to not get dragged in

define narrative

I wasn't individual back then..I was pretty partisan

the group opinion was my opinion

maybe narrative isn't the best word, but you get my drift don't you

AGENCY

holy fuck that took me a while to remember

agency is the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices. By contrast, structure is those factors of influence (such as social class, religion, gender, ethnicity, ability, customs, etc.) that determine or limit an agent and his or her decisions.

worldview

yes basically, i had no agency of my own, literally sheeple

to be fair, i wouldve been an sjw by now if it werent for 4chan

i notice all the indoctrination technique used by my school

Well I would probably still be a libertarian socialist if it wasn't for sargon

yea he's been pretty good influence as well

I think I actually found him because he called out someone I watched

sargon is a little bit up his own ass but the people he is criticizing is much worst, so he gets a pass.

not perfect by all means, but he was very moderate and sane voice in the mess I was in

Is it safe to say that if it werent for gamer gate many of us wouldnt be here?

Like i wouldnt have founded Tim if it werent for Sargon, and i wouldnt have found Sargon if it werent for the gamergate thing

I had no clue what gamergate was back then
