Wtf is Matt “Statutory Rape” Gaetz doing there?

8.5 years. Coworkers for years, then decided to give it a try 3 years ago.

I think @Quilotoa@lemmy.ca has you beat with ~49 years

Eh, it definitely seems excessive, but it’s likely just a matter of scale. If they’re really that well off, then spending 2 grand on a phone would be similar to buying concert tickets, or bringing a friend along to a theme park, etc.

Good rule.

In college, I had a job and one of my best friends didn’t. I’d often ask if he wanted to go do something, like bowling or grab some food. When he’d say he didn’t have any money, I’d say “I’m asking if you want to, not if you can. It’s on me.” I just wanted to hang out with my buddy.
