  • Markets are down for people meanwhile I literally just got a text from a friend: oh man I don’t know what to do, looks like I just became a millionaire overnight. Should I sell?

    …my guy. Sure I’m happy for you, but you’re literally stressing out to a guy who lives in a fucking garage and whos retirement plan is a shotgun in the mouth.


  • Because of a number of reasons: one, as mentioned was the precariousness of our financial situations. Combine that with how absolutely gigantic the US is it’s very hard to be able to coordinate a meaningful reaction that people would be confident enough to sacrifice for, individuals won’t give up their house on the hopes that others might join in with them, and lastly tied to my emphasis of meaningful, we’ve been conditioned to believe the only correct form of resistance is the absofuckinglutly worthless “no kings” style protest were we all get together and yell at empty buildings, giving those who attended a false sense of accomplishment. The Media plays their “wowzers X number of people attended” the administration laughs and gives the finger, and nothing happens.

    I really don’t know what it would take :(


  • Maybe online dating can help? I only know it from the guys perspective (think: perpetually empty inbox) but from what I understand, women are usually inundated with likes and messages so you can be as picky and you like and only respond to those that stand out as someone you could be comfortable speaking to. Bonus that it’s just online so you don’t need to be shy in person and can choose how long you take to react.

    There are 8 billion people in the world so it’s guaranteed that there are people that just don’t like you, which is fine because again there’s 8 billion people so it’s guaranteed that those people are just stupid. :P

    I think it’s an MMO joke. An item would drop from an enemy and the whole party could choose to “roll” for a chance to get it. “Need” would signify that you actually can use it for the role you play, “Greed” would signify that you just want it for something potentially down the line but can’t use it right now.
