What?
You’re arguing a hypothetical scenario vs real world application.
If families get together, you can then attempt (subjectively I might add) to place a dollar value on that.
There’s also the idea that people don’t get together to watch streaming services. What about the possibility that cable programming with commercials allowed people to get up and meander away from the show and lose interest. Since we are making up scenarios.
Streaming services have a cost. They have an amount of content. There’s a concrete value. You can only compare that what cable offered in the same manner.

We get it, between this thread and your post in the "Work Place Discipline" thread, it all makes sense.
You're old, you think you're important, and you need people actually in your presence to converse with to validate your existence.

Move to a place with a real winter and you’ll change your mind. Nobody wants to wash the salt off their car in below freezing temps.

Your time is so valuable, you spend most of it posting about DONGS.

I don't get this. You don't work every hour of the year and are not are you awake every hour. Are we to be dividing annual salary by 8760?

It's funny seeing a post saying the current generation is soft due to various factors, then lists out a number of things that the older generation should have taught this younger generation to do as they were growing up.

That’s all cute, but I bet you pay a guy for a hand job once a week.

I can honestly say the only things on that list I utilize are: yard service and pest control, but that’s for a rental. Not residence.

I know this is a babytac thread so not really responding to him, but why has this taken hold of online boomers?
Streaming is still very much cheaper than cable tv.
YoutubeTV+Netflix+HBO Max is still hundreds of dollars a year cheaper than Cox cable alone.

If you make remotely decent money your risk analysis is way out of whack if you're climbing a ladder above like 4 feet or so.

your risk analysis
My risk analysis says I haven’t made a home insurance claim…ever. Stopped paying 3 years ago (I actually own my home). Saved my $7k so far. Unless a tornado knocks down my house I’m good but could personally cover it either way. Stop being stupid.
It amazes me how many people pay for bs insurance and live in fear. Houses built like shite in the 1900s are still standing. Stop listening to the advertisements.
I’ve had boats for 20 years. I’m not an idiot, no insurance.
I’ve had cars for 20 years, minimum liability. I don’t drive like an a-hole. No accidents.

There’s a pride satisfaction of taking care of your own

I’m Gen X. I pay someone to mow my lawn no clean my gutters. I pay mechanics to work on my car. I pay for someone to decorate the outside of my house for Christmas. I pay for pest control. I have a security system. I don’t mind paying for any of these things.

I’d argue that it is less time consuming to change your own oil than it is to bring it to a quick lube. Maybe if you just drop the car off at a trusted mechanic it’s quicker but I’ve waited hours at a “quicklube”. With the work ethic of the average Joe nowadays you’re lucky if he even changed the filter.
