Meme aside, there is no justification for doing that. Even if I saved up my own money, I wouldn't get an extravagant hobby when others at home are starving. It's just asking for trouble.

A $1999 pc, sure. But not $2000! That's just too much.

That dollar could buy the family enough Ramen to avoid starving.

Eh, the wife isn't starving either. Clearly the kids aren't trying hard enough

They should just stop being hungry. Easy fix.

Hey kids, you wanna try Minecraft IRL?

Gotta save the $1 so you can buy a box of pasta for the rest of the year.

I've actually never seen this format before and I must say I quite like it.

$2000 just for the GPU...

At least it'll keep the place warm in the winter.

I loved Shaun the sheep

Would have upvoted because of Shawn alone, otherwise with how GPUs are priced, 2k is worth a couple of hungry mouths
