Cheers, you too!

Right... My original comment you responded to was pointing in that direction, which is why it's confusing. It sounds like you're debating against yourself 😅

Sorry, I'm not really sure what you're saying, considering your comment I was responding to. Can you rephrase?

What are you taking about, I wish I could afford Chinese flagships just for the camera systems.

Depends on whether or not you live on stolen land, buy products made with stolen labour, use services run on stolen resources, or enjoy entertainment expressing stolen voices on devices manufactured with stolen minerals, if your life is completely free of benefit from the human exploitation that permeates every aspect of the modern world, then sure I have nothing to say to that.

If not, well there's usually at least a little debate to be had about when and how people should reconcile and recompense such tainted benefits they have but for which they don't feel personal responsibility for because it was someone long in the past or far away.

Just to be clear, I think people and nations do bear responsibility for the legacy of their past/forears. I think the stolen jewels should be returned, but I'm also not in possession of them and I'm not British or from one of the places where the jewels were stolen from.

I also don't think it's realistic for the US government and non-indigrnous population to just return all the land to indigenous nations. So against a debate about when and how.

Sry, what exactly do they have a monopoly on?

There are lots of new ideas being made, go watch those. This is not made for you, it's made for people who want old ideas presented in a blockbuster format.

I get the narcissistic part, how does that reflect autism tho?

Someone wants to buy US soy farms for cheap.

The best part is, there no easy way to tell if this masked man in camo in a regular grey jeep wildly pointing his weapon is an official lunatic or not. Someone should call the police on the potential shooter. See something say something amirite?

So... Now we put Mexican stickers on every Republican's car, mailbox, and window sill right?

Cute, but no. The definition of shining is not limited to emitting light.

EV never has to be recharged... Because it recharges on the way downhill.

"World's largest EV never has to be plugged in" is sufficiently click-baity without being so dumbly self contradicting

They've moved onto Ciri now for Witcher 4. Mad that the character doesn't look like a teenager now that she's aged into her 30s.

They're invested in PC gaming as social capital where the performance of your rig contributes to your social value. They're mad because you're not invested in the same way. People often get defensive when others don't care about the hobbies they care about because there's a false perception that the not caring implies what they care about is somehow less than, which feels insulting.

Don't yuck others' yum, but also don't expect everyone to yum the same thing.

You go back in time to when you're living paycheck to paycheck and zero financial literacy. You convince yourself to invest $100/month in Amazon no matter what, because it will be worth it. You eat nothing but instant ramen, forego preventative care, get sick from malnutrition. Your quality of life is horrible because you forego basic necessities to invest in Amazon. The dot com bubble wipes out 90% of Amazon's value but you continue to invest because your past self told you about this, but if you just endure, Amazon will recover and you will be a millionaire.

In this timeline, Amazon never recovers and goes bankrupt. On Twitter, you read a post about George Shaheen's wedding, and how he's entitled to his billions, despite predatory and exploitative practices, because his wealth could have been yours. If you had only invested $100/month since 1996 into WebVan, you'd be a millionaire.

Investing is, at the end of the day, a gamble.

Men set the craziest standards for other men, no wonder men's mental health is in decline. Who tf can realistically achieve that look, those arms, that jaw. It's giving me a crisis of masculinity just looking at it.

Oh cool! With the Internet these days it's not always obvious, but this is a fine example showing the signs of the teenage mind. The post is preoccupied with the notion of embarrassment, the ultimate death in that social environment.

More importantly, their young brains have yet to develop the experience and wisdom to comprehend the existential seriousness of the spaghetti appointment. Adults can be stunted in maturity, never developing emotionally nor intellectually, they dive headfirst into the most extremes of political and moral insanity...

But one thing that marks a true adult is upholding the sacred spaghetti appointment. Across all cultures and creeds around the world, adults understand that the right food at the right time with the right people is one of the most important appointments one must make.

It's sad only because the tone is dismissive/condescending. Otherwise it's just describing someone who figured out how their gf likes to receive affection. My head canon says they've only been dating for a couple months and they've had their dog for years.
