I like knitting and crochet, if you go on car boot sales you can often find a lot of balls of yarn almost free, and there are so much things you can do, for you or as gifts!

If I knew how to do I’d share this to !interestingasfuck@lemmy.world

Quel banger

Have you heard about the communist party manifesto? really simple book, 30 pages, you can skip the third chapter, but a real banger I couldn’t recommend more

I’m french, and it’s a geberational thing I guess. People my age often say “genre” (equals “kinda”), and older people find this very annoying (I’m 22)

The international worker’s day is a holiday in france, so everyone can go protest (or do whatever at home, but there are usually big protests on may 1st)

I’ve got friends who are buying games on sale, because maybe they will play it someday, and then they have 150 games they will playvsomeday (the list is growing bigger).

Those are friends with thousands of hours on CS or Hoi

That’s really cool actually

Oh my, sounds soo expensive

Indeed that seems really expensive from a western european point of view, I wish we could speak more about this when we talk about the US economy, and not the GDP growth being higher or some other dumb things. Europe often sees the US as an economic compass, but I couldn’t tell your situation was so worrying before signing up on Lemmy.

To comparison, my income has been 460€ per month (social scholarship) for a long time, my rent being around 200€ but with the allowances I was only paying 40. And the minimum wages here is 1477€ net (around 9€ per hour), so I was very very poor.

With healthcare, I could take care of my chronic illness without spending anything, and I could eat pretty normally and even have some hobbies. Since uni is free for poor people (170€ per year for everyone else), I didn’t have to pay for anything aside from my classic expenses.

With a full time work, you’re litterally poorer than an alone ill student without any other income than social allowance in france.

I hope your situation will get better, go unionize and that kind of stuff, don’t stay alone, and a big good luck

What if they both tell the truth?

Rent 1200$?? How much is your real estate market fucked up?

Education, help your community, try to help people around you getting out of their job thoughts and doing something they actually like, meet new people

Is this me?

Good luck, take care

First time in my life me and my gf earn more than 1000€ for two, so I can’t complain (I still earn 460€ myself, but sh" has a real salary yippee)

He lives with us since 2 weeks, so not much, but here’s what I’ve got!

Do you know what specie it is?

When we came for him at the shelter, we nicknamed him the emperor because he was looking at us with contempt from above. I believe that he thinks he’s glorious too!

I can definitely see it!
