For rich people, it’s not about using it or making a practical purchase. Its a way to show others how much you care about them (none).

It’s the yacht that counts.

I’ve considered it a good thing to get the “You’re making a mistake” pushback for things like marriage and kids. Because it is hard and you do have to give up and lot of things for it, so you had better be damn sure thats what you want.

You should be able to hear that (from certain types of people) and think “what the hell do they know?”. And if you do think “oh, damn, am I making a mistake?” then you should really fully stop and consider that question.

I think it’s easy for people to fall into the traps of thinking marriage and kids are just the next steps in life and things will get better when you’re married. Marriage doesn’t make anything better.

A lot of people say things like “marriage is great, but its a lot of work”. Those are the people that I’m like “really? Sounds like you maybe did make a mistake there” because (and I’m not expert, I’ve only been married once) it’s really easy being married to my wife.

It took way too long to find this comment. Its those nostalgia goggles.

Remembering being single is like remembering being a kid. For a lot of people, they remember the good times and put the bad times aside, so thats what they’ll talk about.

Wait until you hear about Coca-Cola

Makes it really difficult to […] rap

Ouch. Fair, but ouch.

Frozen lakes are what you can skate on. 35 is unbearable camping temperature. Way too hot.

“New study finds ‘Trickle Down Economics’ has not trickled down in any way over the last 30 40 50 years”

Yes, except “hire enough people”. You can’t staff enough to cover 4 out of 8 employees off from a combination of sick, bereavement, and vacation.

It happens. All you can do is prioritize tasks, make it work the best you can with the resources you have, and manage expectations.

If the work can’t be rescheduled, and isn’t worth paying someone OT to cover, well, then, it’s not worth doing.

I think the worst behaved people are those that conspire to use their immense wealth and influence to actively harm people for the sole purpose of consolidating neverending wealth.

But, yeah, guys who at least put some of their money back into the economy by buying luxury status over basic do get my hackles up.

But that’s damning a snake because the devil looks like you.

I bet this works nominally better, but I just heat the pan with oil. I can’t be arsed to wipe screaming hot oil out of a pan only to reintroduce new cold oil and have to contemplate whether it could possibly make a difference and either feeling like an idiot for blindly following such an absurd direction, or like an idiot for not understanding the scientific grounds for which it works.

What a sanctimonious, self righteous asshole.

"I don’t have allergies and even I don’t go to restaurants, so people with allergies don’t deserve to experience normal human life because it’s inconvenient for other people. "

Get off your highly horse and get fucked by it, buddy.

It should be, but vampires are alluring which belies their evil. That’s the cautionary part of the fiction.

Is Bezos a soulless ghoul cannibalizing the festering, necrotic wound of poverty which he grows larger every day? Yes, and in no way can that be conflated to being sexy.

Ghoul is the only really good one in the list. Its a generic feind thats in no way cool.

Rogues and vampires are cool.

Sycophant is good when someone’s being a sycophant. But you can be independently ghoulish.

It’s probably fine to reuse it for a few days

My dude, hardly anyone uses a new towel every day. Its much more than “probably” fine. Its perfectly fine.

Is affluence the cause of germophobia because their parents convinced them frivolous luxury was actually important for staying healthy?

Don’t get me wrong, enjoy your fresh towels! That’s nice. That’s a luxury. Luxuries are nice. But don’t fool yourself into believing that you’re any healthier for not using the same towels twice.

Dog on the Road

Nice rock. Sorry your taxes are so high under there.

That’s a hard steamed egg, though…

Wow, I expected this from the US, Canada, or the UK.

I thought having clear rules for an efficient society was Germany’s whole thing.

Yeah, wouldn’t the increased surface area increase the release of gas making everything ripen faster?
