  • I mean yeah it’s cheap so you can retire there lol, but those people are a problem because they’re still trying to become billionaires and also they’re the soldiers of the billionaires. For $100k a year theyre the ones denying good insurance claims and areesting peaceful protestors, Bezos and Musk themselves don’t hurt society with their own bodies, they pay upper middle class folk to do that for them. Then they retire with a mil or two in the bank and try to blame the people they agreed to work for their whole lives.


  • Not quite, they buy crazy expensive things that don’t actually make them happy – that’s the irresponsible part. Spend thousands on bottle service at the club wake up in the morning feeling empty and used and find the next socially encouraged stupid thing to soend money on. One fancy sports car won’t affect a lottery winner’s finances much, but they buy one lose the novelty of it after a few days and then they end up with 12 sports cars and now they’re actually at risk of going broke. But if they spent that money on something that actually made them happy, not just what society says is supposed to be fun, they wouldn’t become spending addicts. They’d get plenty of happiness and usage out of those things and not perpetually search for the next high.


  • But good is relative, since it’s a matter of personal taste.

    Well, i do think there’s a level of intelligence involved so that you can recognize something is good or bad despite your personal preferences. Like i can taste a high quality roast coffee with strong floral notes, and I just don’t like floral notes on my coffee it doesn’t sit right on my tongue, but i can still appreciate it’s a very high quality coffee and recommend it to my friend who loves those kinds of coffee.

    At the same time, i have a weakness for mcdonalds coffee black, it’s not good, it’s bad, but for some reason i drink it it reminds me of childhood and i feel good.

    And i dont think that’s a lot to ask of human intelligence, like you dont even need 100 IQ to just understand the concept that there are high quality and low quality coffees, but any individual can prefer the taste of any of them.






  • I’m old, and I have learned that things mean less and less as you get older.

    I was gonna agree with you because at first I thought you just meant like words haha.

    Nothing means anything, people just say make sounds with their mouth and the dictionary is useless. But yeah physical things also, we’re all flesh and bones, just cherish that while you can, seen enough shiny pretty things in my life that im over them.
