Italy is like 20 years with no salary increase

True, never had a need in my life to move such an amount tho

For the istant money from 2025 I Agree, but the bank transfer part is like that since 20 years

In europe i can send any amount (like up to 100k ) in just a few days since 20 years, to anyone with a bank account in europe, from my computer or phone.

Also, since 2025 every bank allows me to send istant money to any other bank account. For free.

Im going to check on prices no matter what my salary is. If i feel scammed i wont buy. Period.

Here is 8€ for popcorns… And the average salary is 1400-1500 The price for the ticket is usually very low tho. Like 4-8 €

I stopped going to the cinema for the ads , I used Netflix until they geoblocked my downloaded content and I couldn’t watch it while traveling.

Now all my movies and series are free, in the resolution that I want, and they stay on my device for how long I want.

I have a Karl kani hoodie that looks like new and I bought it like 18 years ago, some things last ages.

I will still shit there. And if it takes more time because of the “shitty” condition they put me into, well, jokes on them

In Italy we have a weird culture of “porta blindata” as main house door.

Basically evry house has it. I’m not saying is super secure but at least you would need some lockpicking skills to open it, it’s not something you can knock down with 1 shot like you see in the movies

Ive started using iphones at the very beginning with nokia s60 phones. By the year 2012 I was overwhelmed by notifications and i started to adopt the policy “you need me urgently? Call me” I have Disabled all notifications except for calls. I have no push notifications active and a great phone battery life.

I still use telegram for messaging but on my own pace (messages gets downloaded only when i open the app)

Drastic measure

Depends of the sector i guess

No motivation to do better leads to stagnating tech evolution. If you remove private business you stagnate

If you are used to taking public transportation you may want the seat just because no one can sit near you

Italian here. Our right wing government who blinks an eye to all small entrepreneur in Italy (there are A TON here) recently increased the max cash payment from 2k to 5k. This is definitely a way to say “please be free to recycle a bit more oney” and to gain votes in exchange.

It’s incredible how Germany, Austria, or Switzerland to name a few have this crazy high cash payment.

In fact our “ndrangheta” for example (Mafia from Calabria) expanded a lot in Germany due to this.

Lenovo p2. Bought used in summer 2017 actually. Never swapped battery

Im running an android phone from 2016 with android 13 and last week security patches. Smooth as silk, no google, no ads, battery lasts 10h SOT. That’s the reason why ill never switch to Apple as daily driver (I have 1 provided by my company)

Have you used android in the last 10 years? Im not the kind of guy who install 100 apps per day but i did not encounter this issue for a VERY long time.

Used or refurbished phones already payed that once and will not pay it again. So technically, you are not giving a cent to google.

And a nice username as well
