do we have to post corporate tweets on lemmy
i'm not gonna go to xwitter to check, but it reads like a fake one to me.. and even the marketing intern that probably types out their social media posts would know that SNICKERS is a ®egistered trademark
Plus the phrase is "Grab a SNICKERS."
Oh hey everyone! Look at meee! Totally not the false face of a faceless corporation, run by several people paid to get your attention here to say I AM IN ON IT! Let me just insult you to get attention, and act like a doomer for the shock factor so people spread it on the social mediums [like they are now]. Let me mock your struggles and beliefs just for the sake of a simple adver-- won't you p-p-please buy my product? Just a little more consumption will totally fill the void in your heart!
Naaaah, fuck off you craven rats
Snickers - With all of these other problems, you'll barely notice the diabetes.
I'm tired of these unrealistic corporate stereotypes.
I mean, 35? I'm already into my 40's with all the same issues and fears...
It's like when 7-Up did the 'make 7-up yours' campaign and people thought it was funny despite it basically telling them that 7-Up's feelings towards them are "fuck you."
The message speaks well of my situation, but that doesn't mean I'll buy a fucking Sneakers™ like a mindless consumer drone. FUCK™ YOU™ BRAND™
Thank god I'm from Eastern Europe and I don't have a college debt. CRIES WHERE IS MY SNICKERS™?!
Yeah, you don't get our mass-produced chocolate, you get handmade better chocolate. You bastard!
That's not really what eastern Europe is famous for
No, your life is too great, you don't deserve Snickers™️
God damn this is as relatable as nihilist arbys
This sounds like an ad from Nightvale
What do you mean inevitable
Serious answer: With the climate crisis some areas in the world will become impossible to live in (look up wet bulb temperature). Now you have a massive amount of refugees who want to go somewhere else, if necessary by force.
When there's suddenly millions of people pushing against country borders all it takes is a few shots and you have a war.
Ah, inevitable additional wars, separate from the many ongoing wars all over the planet
Not just high wet bulb temperatures, but also severe disruption to fresh water and shifting rainfall pattern. What used to be consistent patterns in nature that prevented droughts might change due to the changing climate. An example of this is mountains becoming ice-free, making them stop releasing fresh water throughout the year as the ice melts.
Snickers gonna start some shit
I'm 100℅ with them.
I'm down to invade Nestle at any moment.
Bruh, I'm 21 and that's my situation... God damnit
Good news you have another 14 years guaranteed. Bad news it wont get better during that time
Not going anywhere for a while? Or ever?
I'm 36, have no college debt, own a house and have no desire to have children. But sure, I'll take a Snickers.
Good parents or great luck?
Luck mainly. I didn't go to university (I live in the UK) after school but was lucky enough to still get a good job at 19. Just knowing how to use a computer opened a lot of doors back in the day.
I'm kind of an introvert and was a pothead when I was younger so didn't go out much and was single when I lived at home. That let me save up a lot of money without really trying. My parents did help a little when I bought my first house at 22 as well.
I live in an area with some of the lowest house prices in my country and the house I bought was very cheap. It was a bit fucked but kind of livable and I had big plans to get all kinds of work done over the years and have it sorted out and paid off by the time I was 47.
Bit off way more than I could chew. There was no central heating, a coal cellar that was completely open at the front and damp all over. It was freezing during the winter and sweltering in the summer.
I got a new kitchen and bathroom put in and some of the stuff I had planned done but I'm not handy in any way and had to pay other people to do the work. I realised that doing it that way would be more expensive than just selling up and buying a new place with a lot of that stuff already done.
The house was so bad I actually sold it for the same price I bought it for 12 years later. But, the money left over after paying that mortgage off more than paid for the deposit on another house last year.
Sounds like you're having a good time and haven't lost perspective, good work! And thanks for answering
how did you get a house???
Bought it
I'm 29 and often feel like this, but I've learned that mindfulness goes a long way and I highly recommend practicing it
SNICKERS™ makes everything better. Its the new coke™.
