I feel like online spaces like lemmy over represent some behaviors.

Uh… What?

Game A has 100 recommends, 300 not-recommend

Game B has 90 recommends, 10 not-recommends.

Is A more highly recommended? In a meaningful way?

I guess I’m lucky almost no one I know is trying to side hustle slop their way into money. I don’t think I would put up with that happily.

If you were an organization with ideas to push, would you just ignore reddit? It’s pretty cheap to pay people to manage social media, especially if you don’t care about some slop from LLMs.

If it’s “full of”, I don’t know. I don’t use it anymore.

Mark is a good, kind person

No he’s not.

He has done tremendous, incalculable, harm to countless people. All of our lives are worse because Zuckerberg is an asshole.

Or when you get past where you can coast (calc 2 for me) you realize you don’t really know how to learn and study. It didn’t ruin my self image but I did change majors.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask but maybe this comic will be interesting anyway

Microsoft 365 is a worse name than Microsoft Office.

Good. As expected. So tired of cars having such priority and special treatment.

People are idiots. They believe things that feel good.

Cis male. Often yes, but there’s always room for improvement. I lean on metaphor a little hard sometimes.

I had a relationship where the other person was very Guess Culture (as opposed to Ask) and that didn’t work very well at all.

I think most people are kind of bad with money, and I think that scales with income.

I think a lot about some old coworkers (six figure salary). We all wanted to go out for a party after work. A bunch of then paid like $80 for a car. I paid $3 for a subway ride. Got there at the same time.

Maybe that’s not so much “bad at money” exactly as have incomprehensible to me values.

Been pretty happy with Linux for the past year or two.

A few minor problems here and there. I was struggling to figure out how to adjust the screen brightness (pop!_os defaults). Found a command line tool to adjust gamma - my girlfriend was a little baffled. Then I realized I should just adjust the brightness on the display itself, on the hardware.

I (cis man) always fully close the toilet when it’s not in use. Never would occur to me to do otherwise.

Some of my women friends leave the seat down lid open, but then their cats drink out of the toilet.

I make a list between shopping of stuff I realize I should get (eg: peanut butter). When I go, I sometimes just grab stuff that’s cheap or appealing.

I also live like 5 minutes away on foot from several grocery stores, so it’s not a big deal to go.

Maybe I should check out their grocery options. I’ve mostly been using Too Good to Go for like a pizza @ $4.

I call my cat by his name. Not his full name, just the first name unless he’s being formally introduced or in a lot of trouble.

Oof.

I (a man who doesn’t date me) personally feel like past five or so years in either direction it tends to rapidly fall off. Look weird and hard to relate to.

I’ve read your post a dozen times and I’m confused.

Are you at the $5 million cap in this scenario? You’re certainly not going to waste away with $500k/year coming in, labor free.

Or are you closer to median income of like $80k, and thus have no funds for a big passion project?

Either way, you can always pool resources and form an organization of some sort. We don’t really want a ton of power collected in individuals. Especially not if the only reason they have that power is because they had money.

No one needs more than $5 million. That’s enough for a conservative investment portfolio to give you a mid six figure income without doing any labor. Watch TV all day and eat chips, still net six figures.

Maybe then no one can afford mega mansions and mega yachts, but I’m okay with that. We don’t need that much concentration of wealth.
