@jamesthomson the amount of podcasts I listen to is dwindling at this rate. The amount of “yeah but look Claude my best pal made an app for me so it’s all good” is making my blood boil

@fabienmarry @amyinorbit @jamesthomson It has always been mind boggling to me how they mock Casey for being ‚frugal‘ and how it’s ‚funny‘ that Marco apparently has some form of a money spending disorder.

@softmaus It's all relative isn't it… Frugal means thinking of replacing a top of the line laptop because it's 2 year old… while the other host buys a restaurant. I still find that interesting, but less and less relatable.

@fabienmarry Same. In the meantime, I manage to cut them some slack by remembering that consumerism still is a commonly accepted virtue in the US.
