That’s nuts

Is that actually real?

That is so fucking funny.

Oh, I was just gaslighting! Thank you for clarifying.

I guess? €1250 is the average national wage here, I think. I’d argue we have low wages as a nation, not so much as grad students, you know what I mean? I’m not upset at my situation, even if it’s not a lot of money.

I’m a young man and I make about the average income in my country. I saved that much very easily in only 5 months. That’s some value to the conversation, I’d say. Not to take away from the discussion of course, and I do apologize for being tone-deaf. I really just meant it as a throwaway comment, I don’t know, didn’t think much about it.

I don’t know about all that…

I just meant for it to be a factoid I guess, didn’t think much about when I posted. When I saw all the notifications I was actually expecting to see people were as excited about potatoes as I am — I made a post about it last night.

Lots of people do struggle, I think it’s fair to point out how hard it is to save for some.

Well, I’m in a very privileged position… For a lot of people it’s not easy at all. Making minimum wage in my country there’s no way you can save that much, for example.

Yeah, it’s really not much at all… Our government actually recently set up this thing where they’ll cover the cost of a house for young working people, but even then it’s really tough to buy. I don’t want to buy anytime soon, but still, it’s a real struggle for lots of people.

Sucks on the healthcare in America. Hope you guys get something worked out over there… :C

Yeah! Sucks for the Americans, though.

What contest? What are you people on…

Why would you say that?

I’m a PhD researcher. I make just over €1250 a month, grant money. Portugal.

I actually saved that much in about 5 months.

hilarious

I love treats :D

Yeah, I reckon it’s good to question one’s own beliefs and presuppositions. Still, it’s upsetting.

This kind of thing terrifies me. I think there’s a solid chance that that particular tweet is a joke, but the idea that there are people out there honestly concerned with the “woke mind virus” and about how women are this and that is horrifying.

Even more, the possibility that I’m just blind to my own insanity is what really fucks me up. What if they’re right and I’m crazy? Seeing so much insanity that you just have to wonder if your own sanity has been compromised.

>Portugal not included

Iberia needs to keep up, damn it!
