Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

I would have thought a good job with high education in biotech would be lucrative. Do you not earn enough of is your cost of living that high?

I know people making $250k who are "paycheck to paycheck" because they live an hour outside of San Francisco. So I believe it's possible.

Damn! I live close to Zürich, Switzerland which usually ranks high for most expensive places globally, so I thought I knew what high costs of living were, but paycheck to paycheck on 250k USD, that's insane. And with that much of a commute too!

I mean...I know them. They could definitely shave some fat from the ol' budget. But San Francisco really is insane. I wish it were affordable, I do love it there.
