You yourself have completely ignored the argument you’re responding to in order to chastise about arguing with a bad take.
It’s looping upon itself and it all starts with one bad take. Maybe you can accept bad faith arguments are bad and move on?

I almost burned a neighbors house down by forgetting about a piece of cloth I put on that badboy for mood lighting.
35->38 is roughly what inflation would give you from 2021 to 2022. And that’s when the 40k figure came from. So, the implication is still fairly positive.
The figure referenced in this tweet is likely referring to the 2021 net compensation chart we saw making the rounds a few weeks back. Indeed, it’s correct, ~50% of all Americans made less than 35k per year in net total compensation in 2021.
In 2022, that figure rose to ~40k. So the trend is going in the right direction, at least. And IIRC, the chart does include teenagers, college students, people working part time or underemployed, etc.
It does seem to feature estimates regarding the average rather than median, so you’re right. Higher CoL areas would drive that way up.
Plus, upon further review, I realized the study only involved the top 100 most populated cities. That would for sure skew the number upward as well.
It is worth mentioning that everything discussed so far was in terms of averages, not medians. The average salary is more like 58k.
The crux of this issue, why everyone has something to say about it: is because the word ‘comfortably’ seems open to interpretation. But it’s defined in a way that makes sense here.
For the purposes of the referenced study https://smartasset.com/data-studies/salary-needed-live-comfortably-2024, they used the MIT Living Wage Calculator https://livingwage.mit.edu/ and extrapolated out total compensation needed to maintain the 50/30/20 rule, where 50% of your total income goes to necessities, 30% to entertainment and wants, and 20% to investments or debt payments.
So it’s really not up for debate unless you’d like to argue against the figures presented in the MIT Living Wage calculator or the 50/30/20 ‘rule’.
Never approach a woman under any circumstances lest you run the risk of unintentionally making her fear for her life, gotcha. Just ignore women unless they approach you first. They’re scared of you because you’re a member of the dangerous sex, and that’s just all there is to it.
I can imagine a social butterfly looking down on nerds. Although I gotta level with you: that sounds like something that would primarily occur in high school to me. Maybe you’re grown and still dealing with that, but either way: using the term normies is not going to help at all, I assure you.
Have someone refer to you as a normie and lmk if it feels neutral or derogatory.
Using the term “normies” paints you as having a superiority complex, which isn’t the best look.
