Try looking at the source.

Citation needed.

Okay, how about statcan.gc.ca which in 2019 reported:

"Canadian millennials had higher incomes and assets than young Gen-Xers at the same age. However, they were also more leveraged, as their debt to after-tax income levels surpassed 200%."

Companies will bloviate on about how they care about the environment and want to reduce e-waste, but then do crap like this!

You believe wealth exists only in a binary states of either gold flaked champagne or homeless destitution? Or perhaps you are being facetious? Regardless, the simple truth remains that your average boomer is much better off than your average millenial, or zoomer.

I completely agree. The race to the bottom dollar is so exhausting. Housing should never have been used as a financial vehicle.

Gacha Policy Changes for 2024: What You Need to Know (community.secondlife.com)
 

Key Highlights:

-No Transferability: Gacha items and their containers must be set as “No Transfer” to ensure that they can only be used by the buyer. This applies to both the object inside and any packaging used for delivery.

-Breedables: Breedable pets and other life simulation content are exempt from this policy and can continue to operate as they have before.

-Games of Skill: If a game of skill (like throwing darts or spinning a wheel) is used to win a prize, it is still permitted as long as the prize and its container are marked as "No Transfer."

-Subscription Boxes: Subscription boxes are unaffected, as long as all participants receive the same content. Different items distributed to different subscribers based on chance are now allowed but must also follow the “No Transfer” rule.

-Warnings and Enforcement: Violations of this new policy will result in warnings or removal of items and vendor systems. Repeated violations can lead to account suspension, termination, or loss of land.

From CTV News (Bell Media):

You're not wrong, though I find it a bit weird how at least for the moment only cis women get to enjoy plus-sized models appearing in clothing advertisements.

Android has been largely gutted and depends more and more on google play services, with few exceptions like some AOSP-based roms like lineageos, iodeOS, etc

Personally I think dadbods are underappreciated. Body-positivity is for everyone, including men!
