Come back when you have kids, or pay bills :)

Been paying a mortgage for 6 years, child is on the way. Plan well and the big changes and little changes shouldn't phase you. Even if it becomes a struggle at times I won't be looking at my Nvidia Shield with a sour expression as it sips power.

So, no kids. Not good at math either. That's what I though.

My response didn't contain any calculations so not sure why you're throwing some random accusation. Are you hallucinating like a shitty AI?

You're clearly tech illiterate and are cowering behind your perceived superiority of having kids to justify why you won't install an app to bypass YT ads because you can't fathom the simplicity of it.

[โ€“] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

No calculations needed, I'm inferring from your "sipping power" that you have no idea what you're talking about.

I've been pirating stuff since before you were born, so spare me the "clearly".
