And after,

I got different furniture and throw pillows and got rid of the god awful green chair. Also threw up a shiplap wall.

Basically I had a flood and ended up tiling the whole basement and painted the walls. Took me about 1 month total work time between tearing the old shit up and painting and putting the new shit in

I have my little family room, a place for the kids, and a bar.

I don't like the basement in OPs pic but I understand getting rid of video games and a gym. Everyone wants a home gym until they have a home gym. Personally I like the gym at work.

it's easy to shit on the wall facing chairs and fake brick shit... jesus theres a lot of pointless garbage here, but I will say I like the floor and red wall more than the before.

I've been joking for a while now that I need to finish renovating my house before I 'get a gf'. I want to completely avoid any harebrained reno projects by having an updated house that looks unchangable. Nothings being painted grey, no pipe hung sliding barn doors are going anywhere. Last time I brought a girl home I had just replaced a bay window with two separate tall skinny sash windows. Without knowing she told me I should do a bay window there. Probably the type of chick to put a bench in front of a dartboard.

Listen man. I'm not going to debate its harder to 'start a life' in 2022 for a 20 year old than it was in 1987, however, if you keep making excuses you're never going to get ahead. I'm only typing this out to try & help you. Its like playing a sports team and saying we're going to lose they're really good before the kickoff has even occurred. With that attitude, of course you'll fail. Stop being a VICTIM and start being a VICTOR. I'm pretty retarded. I think my IQ is around 71. I have managed to own a 2800 sq foot house that I /diy/'ed myself and had 2 kids with a wife that doesn't have a full time job. I started out making 40,000$/year and a decade later I'm up to 140,000$/year. I save money like a jew. All you really have to do is work harder and evade taxes and live like a jew. Sweat Equity is the easiest way to make money on your home. You're in a /diy/ forum. Thats the fucking point. To seek advice on how to do certain projects and jobs. Granted there is a little luck involved, but you know what? You make your own luck in life. If you never try, how do you know you're going to fail. You would be surprised with yourself. For someone like me who is borderline mentally retarded to be as successful as I am, with only a car lease, mortgage, and monthly bills left to be paid off until I retire in my 50s; I would say if you're smart (since I know everyone here apparently has a 169 IQ) it should be easy for you. Start a garden, hunt and fish, turn off all the lights when you aren't using them. Read by candlelight, stop buying video games, start picking up pennies off the ground, return cans/bottles. Ask your neighbors for theirs. Learn to fix your own home, computer, and car(s), Don't be a consumer, and you can do it. I believe in you.

Why are they using "productivity," and how and why has it risen in basically a straight line from 1948- now? I don't think that's possible, not without some kind of numbers game. As a guy that's worked as an adult since the 80's, and as a kid in the 70's, I'm here to tell you straight up: people are not working any harder today than they were for the last 40-50 years. I'll go out on a limb and say people haven't changed in the last 10000 years, so our "productivity" is probably the same today as it was in Mesopotamia in 8000bc. If you believe that chart with no questions, it says something about your gullibility.

>> No.2392455

>>2392450
not that whiny bitchboy who posted the chart, but our productivity has gone up due to technology. 1 hungover fat fuck in an excavator can due the same amount of work in a day that would require 40 mesopotamians 8000 yrs ago

>> No.2392459

>>2392450
>so our "productivity" is probably the same today as it was in Mesopotamia in 8000bc
The concept is that the GDP per capita has grown.
It's like how one guy on a tractor can plow dozens of acres in a day, but it would take a large team of people to do even a single acre in the same time when using hand tools. It's not that people are necessarily "working harder", but their work can be more productive largely because of improvements in technology.
The graph highlights how despite technology enabling the wider population to produce much more "stuff" and value in recent decades, the quality of life and rewards for average people hasn't increased to a commensurate degree.

>> No.2392474

>>2392455
I would agree with you, which is why the first thing I asked was "Why are they using 'productivity?'" It's a misleading variable, and it seems to me that they're using it literally so that they can argue whiny crap like
>But our PRODUCTIVITY is over twice what it was 50 years ago!
When in reality work output is the same, possibly less. I understand and agree that an increase in wages to, at the least, match inflation should be expected, but if they're saying it should match "productivity" with no increase in actual work performed, their expectations are... not grounded in life and world experience, shall we say.

I also notice the divergence in their variables is about when computer control began. Should it be argued that since computers enable this huge leap in productivity, then the inventors and/or producers of computers should get all the profit from the increased productivity?

Over the last 50 years, we have seen an increased trend in the USA where a smaller and smaller group of people at the top get richer and richer and the outlook for middle class american shrinks. You can argue about the moral justification for that if you want, but historical trends tend to show that increasing economic stratification like this tends to lead to tensions and social issues as time goes on.

>> No.2392505

>>2392501
To take this idea a little further, let me put it like this:
Imagine a future time where we have advanced technology to the point that we have robots growing all the food, mining/manufacturing everything, and doing the service work too. Will a few small interests at the top indulge in decadent splendor while the majority of the human race has become "obsolete" in the workplace, loses all leverage in the socioeconomic game and gets stuck to starve in ghettos and dumps?
This would be known as a "dystopia."

In older or simpler economies, ordinary people had a lot more agency and independence economically and had a lot more bargaining power to talk to their boss and demand better conditions if they weren't happy (or to leave and go on their own/compete etc)
In a modern technoindustrial system, that pattern starts to fade because the complexity baked into the system requires massive social structures to make it all work. This tends to lead to workers becoming less skilled and much more replaceable and therefore, exploitable. It's not as simple as saying "You don't like your job at Amazon/Walmart? Go make your own!"

Learn to cook, save your cans, don't play the lotto, don't smoke, drink other people's beers, don't buy that video game. Its incredibly easy for people to start renting and then 'subscribe' themselves out of every owning a home because they have 3+ streaming services and monthly utility bills. It really isn't that hard. All I'm literally doing is offering advice to people to help save money and encouraging them to own property. Whats your fucking problem with that? If they're going to pay to live with a roof over their heads every month they might as well make it a mortgage. I never said it was easy or it was the 90s. I literally just said you can do it if you work hard.

Yet everytime I say that I get assholes like you making excuses, Oh we live with mommy and daddy, oh its hard to own a home. yeah we know, everyone knows. Sitting around bitching about it is going to get you in the exact spot you're in. What are you expecting? Sympathy? I don't feel bad for these people.

I have said multiple times the current state of affairs isn't good, or at least as easy as it was in the 90s, just that sitting around whining and bitching wasn't going to do jack shit, so you should get busy living or get busy dying.

In most areas of the USA a household bringing in the median household income can afford a mortgage on the median house in that area despite the crazy rise in house prices.

If you want to live in an insane city full of rich people, you should be working a job that allows you to have a decent lifestyle there.
If you don't want to do what you have to do to make that work, consider living in one of the thousands of smaller towns in this country where you can get a reasonable house for $100K.

In this day and age, you will be forced to compete against third world sweatshop wages for anything that could possibly be sent overseas. If you're a wagecuck, then effectively you're selling your labor in hourly intervals for cash. Due to the simple concept of supply and demand, your labor isn't worth much if its not a specialty or if it's something that can be outsourced or automated.

The reality is that unless you're actually disabled, there is opportunity for people who want to make money and get ahead in this country.

And before you try to ad hominem me as some kind of wealthy trust-fund elitist or something-- I work with my hands, doing a technical service job that can't be outsourced. I bought a cheap as fuck house in a safe but very low end neighborhood in a small city. Nothing was handed to me. I started with nothing, and not in ez-boomer times; I only just turned 30.
But I guess you probably don't want to be a truck driver, or manage a Golden Corral, or etc etc etc

Stop making excuses and improve your own life, kid--- noone else is going to do it for you.

This actually does work. Continue to escalate and make it prohibitively expensive or destructive for people to get their way over you and they will eventually be forced to cave. It’s simply a matter of never giving in to circumstances that are bad for you, ever.

I bought my house in 17, but only after running through the ringer to get my credit score up over the course of 3-4 years. It’s a bit of a racket because the bank give you counseling on how to raise your credit so they will accept you. But my job and income stayed the same, my spending didn’t change.

All 18 year olds are retarded, banks actively giving out predatory credit cards and car loans while kids also getting saddled with heavy student loans is reality for a large portion of the country. Not to mention medical debt for some too.
NEETs and middle class are extremely lucky to not be preyed upon in their late teens, where whatever dumb shit they did doesnt come back to haunt them.
You can call them retarded, but that doesnt change the fact that almost all poor people fall into the same trap every single generation, and its not a "fix it in one year by working hard!" deal.

Projection. No one is perfect at 18, but we weren't all shitheads either. And despite my easy mode comment, I've had plenty of headwinds. I've payed for every car I've owned, every electronic device since I was 16, and never once got a handout. I've easily had over 10k in medical debt over the decade, and payed for what college I could working labor jobs. My wife and I cleared 60k for the first time last year, combined, and despite that, our cars are paid for, we already have 45% of our 300k house paid down, we eat damn good, and have all the bells and whistles of a comfortable upper middle class life.

Are there sacrifices to be made? Yes, you'll have to put down the reefer and stay out of the bars. Stop buying every $60 video game and use the free streaming services. Better yet, stop sitting on the couch all damn day. A little relaxation here and there is fine, but going full consumer all the time causes brain rot.

And not all debt is bad. When we bought our house, we put 6k on credit for everything from a washer to an electric mower. Id rather have useful stuff now. Easier to pay it down while living comfortably, than to always be cheap, but I can do that, because I'm not blowing my income on waste.

Seems the common theme

Democrats are usually collectivist, think they can fix all issues by raising taxes and giving the government more money, and expect or want handouts like welfare, more money for schools, universal healthcare/Medicaid and Medicare expansion, and free college.

Republicans and Libertarians are usually individualists and make more money and are sick of footing the bill for worthless lazy welfare rats, and usually older because they’ve seen how inefficient the US federal government is (experienced and wise). Or they just want guns.

I would get on board with democrat ideals more in a different country perhaps, but in the US if you vote left wing you’re either naive, dumb, or brainwashed. Me other party cares about you in DC but the attitudes of fellow republicans is more respectable and street smart imho.

I don’t understand why people care about or trust others. It really blows my mind. I would take advantage of 100 people if it made me 500 more $/ year.

See, you think you understand the issue but you don't, not even a little.
Homeless people lower property value and therefore tax revenue
They also commit a lot of petty crimes like loitering and public urination which soaks up police resources
If a homeless person wants a job where are they supposed to keep their stuff while they're at work?
What job can you get if you can't reliably take a shower?
Your state probably foots the bill for uninsured emergency room visits

And that's just a drop in the bucket. It's called the "Housing First Model". The whole issue is way more complicated than even that is. But in your mind it's just "they should stop being lazy".

Which is fucking retarded.

Property taxes go to the city and the city pays for the homeless shelters. If you live in a flyover state a couple miles from the freeway then the issue doesn't really effect you.

Teach it to them, if they chose not to embrace it they are lazy and I could give 2 shits less what happens to them. If they’re too retarded to understand it then they are dumb and I could give 2 shits less what happens to them.

There are no homeless people in my town. We have an ordinance against them so they don’t shit up the property. They can go find a liberal city full of suckers with empathy to help them. Not with my property taxes.

If it were up to me we would kill them, instead we leave them to die which is the best we can do.

This is the same as the animal kingdom. The rest of the deer herd doesn’t wait for the slow dawn with a broken leg. The school of fish doesn’t wait for the slow one with the busted fin.

I don’t understand why people like you dictate their behavior over how to help the weakest of the pack. I’ve found much more life success by going out in my own and learning things the hard way independently. Most of the people I know who are hardcore liberal or mommy and daddy gave them everything we’re spoiled brats. Mostly women and the rich kids everyone hated who’s parents bought them a new car in HS. Most of the people I know who are right wing made their own way, paved their own trail, and are much better people, well grounded, with integrity in their 30s.

The benefit of living where you do is that there aren't homeless people and there's very little crime. But that's where the benefits end.
The benefits of living where I live, in New Orleans, is
being able to walk to good restaurants
Having events going on year round
Knowing my house will always be worth money due to it's location
Being able to rent my house out if I so chose
Having other good looking houses around me, dripping with style
Being able to get groceries without driving
Shit like that.

You get no homeless people and low crime. and the price you pay is living in a 1970s track house that will barely keep up with inflation and eating out at Ruby Tuesdays when you want to have a night on the town.

I don't care for live music

The shopping cart is ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.

To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right.

There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their care. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.

No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart, no one will find you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

They never do. Time has proven this 10x over by now. You will never convince me to raise more taxes. You will never convince me that I need to help black people because white people used to be mean 100 years ago. Just stop. I know, if I don't do these things "I'm evil and don't care about others". Sure. I just said that. I don't care about other people. I think the best way to help them is to force them to help themselves. I'm so fucking sick of my tax dollars being pissed away on retarded bullshit, and corrupt politicans not doing what they promised. I'm fucking done with all of them. Left, right, center.

Well I still keep my cans and if I'm going to the store anyway I'll bring a bag and get the deposit back but it's still really small, when I run the numbers on stuff it's almost always economically better to not waste my time on something but rather spend the time working and then spend the money to get the thing done. Like I was looking at enlargers on craigslist, and I could actually get a decent deal on one, but I'd have to drive a few hours to get it and drive back. At that point I may as well pick up a shift at work and pay to have it shipped.

Or, I wanted to build a tripod for my camera. Obviously there's a lot of value to doing it yourself outside of the money but when I looked at the numbers for the design I wanted to make, I'd spend hours just trying to source the parts, and in that time I could have made enough money to just buy a very good tripod anyway.

To be fair I did make the mistake of choosing a color once. It was red, it was just for a feature wall, I thought it'd be ok. The sun hit the wall in the evening and the whole room looked like Terminator vision. the gf didn't tell me not to pick that color, but she gave me a look as I was selecting the paint at the store that I should have payed more attention to.

That said I still refuse to use that dark green color in every single pinterest and instagram interior design inspiration image she sends me.

Also your boomer pep talk is going to fall on deaf ears. These people are too far gone, they spent their early 20s attaining a post-performative afro-lesbian dance-studies degree, and now they're stacking shelves. I got lucky and learned to code because I thought it was fun, and it turns out I can get paid well to do it so I have a house now, and I only started that career when I hit 30.

>The problem with republicans is that they think they understand the world and that it's not that complicated.
Your entire ideology revolves around "give money to government and let them solve problems" which means you never actually have to contend with any of the complexity of the world because it's never going to be your job to try to solve them.

well yeah, but after coming off a gym where they have the newest stuff (treadmills and stuff that can play netflix and shit while you are working out) and a plethora of very nice professional weights, this is a massive stepback.
its still very nice as its all mine and i dont have to wait on someone or travel to the gym, but damn is gym equipment expensive, especially if its olympic size (olympic bar 50mm 20kg starts at 200 euros, whereas the 28mm 8kg basic bars are like 30 euros).

also rubber mats are a must if you gym at home and either have neighbours or people you live with. it dampens the sound so much you can barely hear the weights dropping on the floor.

also fuck running outside, i want to run at a constant set speed where i can see the time without stopping.

metabolic overload exercises are a motherfucker to do, all you need is about 300lb of weight and a bar, that will more or less get you the body you want tough compound exercises, by the time beginner gains stop working well for you anymore, you already have the body you want, anything passed that is polishing.

to that, low weight high rep is good for isolation exercises, compounds need actual weight to do anything for you.

pre covid by me a movie for 2 would cost about 50$ in tickets alone, concessions would be another 50-100$ (I really love how movie theaters near died during covid) and a dinner at some place that's not an embarrassment costs 50 a head minimum much more if someone orders wine. buying a whores time for an hour is honestly cheaper and gets you what you want.

yea... they are never coming and going to die in the house, and what she plans to do... the basement has problems with leaks, when it rains hard water comes in from somewhere, we don't know, they won't get it fixed, but she wants to put in carpet over the whole thing... within 3 years all the carpet and a good chunk of the walls will need to be ripped out for mold at minimum assuming nothing that would condemn the house grows, but let me reiterate, the moment she found out she had more money, she spent 100% of it, that's the problem.

Tickets seem a touch high but fine, but how do you spend that much on food? Popcorn and drink shouldn't be more than £5 each so that's £20/$30 if you get one each, especially considering you've just had a restaurant meal at this point. How fat are you? At any rate it's usually pretty easy to sneak cheaper food in.

sodas started at 13$ popcorn at 15$ candy of shit thats 1$ at a gas station was 9$, cotton candy was 10$ and it had several smaller restaurants attached that has appetizers for even more obcene than restaurant prices,

the theatre by us is honestly one of the nicer ones I have been in, garbage projectors, but the seats were expensive recliners, shit got cleaned on the regular, then they started to host sporting events out of some of the theaters and a bar they replaced the arcade with.

2 sodas would be 30$ because no one buys the piss jar they give you for small, popcorn goes to 45$ cotton candy gets it up to 55, oh look they have mozzarella sticks here lets get those, 17$ for what should cost 4 so 72$ and ho can't forget a bag of m&m's for 9 bringing it to 81 on concession alone.

now if I go there, I don't even look at concessions, they fuck me out of so much at the ticket alone, but you don't want to look like a cheap fuck bringing in your own candy/soda/snack food so to the fucking concessions stand so they get the second pint of blood.

Like I said, they are the nicer theater by us and honestly shy of the museums imax the best I have ever been in, but I have a 75 inch top end tv at home, i'm a fairly good cook, and a sound system that I can tone down so highs aren't making ears ring and earthquakes for supplemental bass effects on the sofa, the screen may not be as big but it kicks the fucking shit out of the theaters in how good the picture is.

Who the fuck is going to teach some barely out of high school kid what (You) know from clearly being 50+ years old? The schools don't teach it. Parents don't teach it. Parents from your generation and prior see it more fit to make social media posts making fun of their "stupid kids" not knowing how to use a can opener or some other object they were never taught to use than teaching their kids useful life skills. You're genuinely grain damaged if you think people are born with this knowledge or just magically acquire it on their own without either being taught by someone or having to learn it the hard way by making a mistake, which is something your kind just shits on them and calls them retarded for. It speaks volumes that your entire argument is that people should use some boomer buzzwords to win.

First of all I'm not 50+. Hell I lack a dozen years before even getting to 50. Secondly I am teaching my 17 year old kid all kinds of useful stuff that you will obviously never learn because you're so butthurt about life and want to continue to play the victim game. A person can learn a lot in life by simply paying fucking attention to what is happening around you. If you see someone doing something interesting ask them about it, or even just sit back and watch and absorb some knowledge.

Hell I learned a lot of my recently acquired skills by watching other people do stuff on Youtube. That is a very powerful thing that didn't exist until fairly recently. My old man (who actually was a boomer) was amazed by the shit that I could do that he never taught me because I went out looking to learn new skills when I needed to learn them. He could half assed weld, mechanic a bit, and do some very basic machining as well as some other home handyman type stuff like plumbing and a tiny bit of electrical work. I surpassed and blew him out of the water in every single aspect of all those subjects.

So please tell me some more about how you need someone to hold your hand every step of the way so you can learn basic shit.

>What would the best case scenario you see coming about from your posts here?

Here in this thread, or on this board? On this board I do like sharing information with people who are wanting to learn and I have gleaned some useful information by asking questions or even following threads of others. I try to give good advice on here except for the occasional shitpost...

In this particular thread I suppose if I can motivate one person to quit being a worthless sack of shit that thinks the entire world is stacked against them and just get them to go do something productive then that would be a huge win.

A lot of these people need to understand that you gotta crawl before you can walk. You don't just work hard once and then become some millionaire with all of life's opportunities opened up to you overnight. It is a lifelong process of grinding every day. Even then you're not guaranteed to make it. You can fail 100 times, but as long as you keep trying different things you'll eventually find a way to succeed. I know that sounds like motivational bullshit, but it is true. Perseverance is the #1 attribute for success.

Also even if you never do make it in your lifetime you will set your kids up for more success if you pass on what skills you have learned and what little bit of capitol or means of production/tools/equipment you acquire in your lifetime.

Even if I don't motivate a single one of these poor-baby, victim-mentality disorder faggots then hopefully some of you other ass-kickers out there will at least find some peace of mind in knowing that you're not alone in this and there are others out there like you kicking ass day in and day out.

It's a lazy and retarded strategy that put me behind the curve, but with moderate intelligence and drive I've carved out a decent life for myself. Sometimes bad examples are great examples.
