According to this article atleast, 193cm is his actual height. During WWE times he was claimed to be even taller than that. I didn’t get the impression here that it’s him whose been lying about it.

I assumed it would be obvious from my first post that I don’t live in the US when I mentioned living comfortably on 35k a year in a thread about needing 100k to be considered middle class in the US. Clearly, it wasn’t obvious, so I clarified it in my third reply (not the fifth, as you claimed), four hours before your first message to me. Do you want me to apologize for not anticipating this potential confusion from the start, or what exactly are you after here? How about just saying, “Sorry, I missed your message where you said you live in the EU”?

The perspective is a bit misleading. Dwayne is slightly taller that Hoff

I already said I’m from the northern europe. I don’t get what your problem is…

Supply and demand is what dictates the prices.

In most states you need a license to carry a gun with you though.

I don’t know why you’re looking to argue about it but I’m not interested. I simply stated that where I live 100k a year would take you so much further than it does in the US. Take care now.

This isn’t a competition

Why do I need to ask that? I know it’s expensive.

I wasn’t complaining

I’d be living even cheaper than this if I was living alone. My average monthly expenses for the past 3 years have been 2989.22€ including retirement investments.

Turning off that feature sure was among the better choices when it comes to my social media use and mental well-being. Knowing Lemmy, it’s probably my choice of transportation.

I live in northern europe. Converted to dollars my current yearly income is a little over 33k USD.

I live in a tiny 75-year-old granny cottage, drive a 17-year-old truck, wear 10-year-old clothes, never eat out, and never travel anywhere.

Hit me up if you need someone to patch those holes.

I heard a podcast guest refer to herself as a “professional opinion haver,” and even though I’m not a professional, I sure do have opinions.

However, this isn’t the nickname I generally use online - just one I chose for this particular Lemmy account. I post and comment quite a bit, and people tend to start recognizing me after a while, so I keep creating new accounts to maintain anonymity.

That’s wild. If I was making 100k a year I’d be able to retire in a decade. I make about a third of that and I’ve got virtually everything a man could ask for.

Grow up, and act properly.

Maybe you should take your own advice on that one. You’ve been acting hostile, snide, and accusatory toward me throughout this entire exchange, and for no reason.

As someone who doesn’t believe in free will I’d say no - I don’t think they should be punished for their acts even in this life. Now, I’m not saying that actions shouldn’t have consequences but punishing a person for something they did implies they could have done otherwise and that I disagree with.

Look, I asked for a couple of clear, concrete examples - not because I’m unwilling to do my own research, but because I want to hear what you consider the strongest case for it. Sending someone off to ‘read the news’ or linking an enormous wiki article is more about shutting down the conversation than having a good-faith discussion. If our positions were reversed, and you sincerely wanted to understand my point, would you appreciate me saying ‘go watch this two-hour documentary’ without providing any specifics? If you genuinely believe Trump is helping Russia, why not briefly share one or two of the most compelling examples that convinced you personally? That’s usually what people do when they’re sincerely interested in sharing knowledge rather than simply dismissing questions.
