  • I agree I’m pretty pissy and numb to the former reddit and now lemmy crowd. It’s all just bitching that everything should be free without looking into the reality of costs (among others off topic topics). I want a decentralized network to happen but I am 100% expecting the community to fuck it up.

    This is like year of the Linux desktop for social media just playing out in duplicate with no understanding why Linus desktop never took off.


  • Most people do.

    In 2019, there were approximately 22.8 billion credit, debit, and prepaid cards in use worldwide. This number is expected to reach 29.31 billion by 2023. The number of general purpose and private label debit cards increased 3.8% to 6.28 billion between 2019 and 2020. In 2021, the overall credit card in circulation reached 64 million. According to a Forbes Advisor survey from February 2023, 54% of consumers use a physical or virtual debit card and 36% of consumers use a physical or virtual credit card.

    And the vast majority of those not using them are not valuable as customers.










  • You realize Google is a thing, correct?

    Skytyping can cost more than regular skywriting, starting at $25,000. Skytyping uses five planes instead of one, but it’s a more accurate form of aerial advertising that ensures legibility. A personal skywriting message can cost upwards of $6,000–$8,000, depending on where the few skywriting planes are located at the time you want the message written. Skywriting rates are generally charged per flight hour. A one-hour flight over a major city can cost anywhere from $500 to $5,000.

    Again, very few non fuck you money are spending 5k at the low end on deeze nuts. Conservativly high 🤦‍♂️


  • Not trying to argue but we have all of that in the states. It’s slightly more expensive, but again, I make more.

    My point, is it’s not a hell scape like reddit/lemmy would have you believe.

    Starting at 90 or 100k you’ll find that the quality of living here is superior in most aspects. Probably not worth leaving friends and family behind of course.
