therobit posted:Your expectations would adjust and the definition of a comfortable life would probably change. People really like to have romantic fantasies about how they would continue to be the grounded everyman in the face of millions and millions of dollars. like when people who win the lottery say "I'm going to keep working at the gas station, the money won't change me, I like to work!"... no way, the second you get a write-up for not sweeping the walk-in you're outta there, and that should be obvious but a lot of people won't admit it. The broke brain stuff i can't understand is the billionaires who could use a single-digit portion of their money to own opulent properties in any city that they choose around the world, fly in the newest planes, have the biggest yachts, live life as a permanent 5-star vacation, eat the finest foods, and more, and also pass this lifestyle down to their kids. There is no possible shift in definition of comfortable that money could achieve. Why do they always need more?

Meme Emulator posted:People become wealthy because they have a certain mindset that allows them to flourish in our economy and/or they got the wealth passed down from them from others who staked out thier wealth who had a similar mindset. Its self selecting, which is why I said theyre irredeemable. They couldnt have gotten to that point without having an abusive mindset. just to be clear here you're literally saying that anyone who makes good money has an abusive mindset and that's worse than people who literally beat their wives gently caress off and gently caress you

Uhhh, okay, it's me, I'm the old woman yelling at clouds. What does the "okay" symbol mean, if not that silly circle game? I have a co-worker that plays that game with me all the time, even though I never play back. What's the Nazi implication? I really don't want to google "nazi hand gestures".

JacquelineDempsey posted:Uhhh, okay, it's me, I'm the old woman yelling at clouds. Because it's an innocuous symbol, "high brow" white nationalists sometimes use it in pictures as a dog whistle. It's not so much an out and out signal as a result, unlike the Nazi salute, and so is mostly used to troll folks which makes determining a specific use harder to define as explicitly racist or just obstinate trickery. There's a decent SPLC article on it.

JacquelineDempsey posted:Uhhh, okay, it's me, I'm the old woman yelling at clouds. 4-chan nazis decided that they needed a new symbol to identify each other, so they're like, "hey let's just do the 'circle game' so that if the cucks and the libs see it and call us nazis we can just lol look at those snowflakes they think the circle game is a nazi thing, just like they think a cartoon frog is a nazi thing" so it's an actual nazi symbol just like Pepe now. Also a similar hand gesture is historically a White Power hand sign, where you do the sign with both hands but one of them is upright to represent the W and one is upside down to represent the P.

Honestly, apart from SA and a weather website, I am mostly not involved with the internet since it's all morphing into versions of social media and I do not participate in social media. ...not that I have any hang ups on it, I just dont find it interesting. So, the latest fads don't make it to me. Which is all the better if it's got pro-nazi inflencers getting kids to share nazi butthole symbols.

Yeeesh. The whole idea of co-opting a popular thing like Pepe or the "ok" sign as a shibboleth is so drat stupid. The whole idea of a shibboleth is to have a signifier that only others in your group would know, so you can tell who's who. Like SA and "stairs". This, on the other hand, it'd be like if I came up with some crazy religion and we all decided, "hey, let's wear crosses so we can tell who's down with our cult, and for lulz!" Again, old woman yelling at clouds. I just don't get it. Thanks for the info, though, guys. I should probably warn my coworker. Edit: that SPLC article was very helpful, thanks!

It's meant to troll the libs. there's probably a lot of types who'd gripe about the subtext of "letting them steal it" but idk it's a dumb awkward hand gesture that got co-opted as a nazi in-joke, they can have it for all I care. It skips the foreplay and goes right to "yeah they're a goddamn nazi" and I'm all for saving the effort in wondering.

Moon Atari posted:It makes me sad that children are sort of briefly alluded to in a lot of these stories but are so obviously not a priority in their parents lives. Particularly when it is poly or cheating drama and they have multiple young kids. You shouldn't have time for that poo poo. If you have them they should be a priority that far far outweighs your commitment to experiencing all the varieties of sex you would like to or playing the latest videogame or whatever. I want to caveat this by saying that it's good and healthy for parents to have their own lives and hobbies beyond child rearing, the flip side of that is basically an estrangedparents post. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a new book or whatever after the kids go to bed, so long as it's not significantly interfering with your role as a parent But I know that you're talking about the people who put the baby in its crib and then plays Red Dead Redemption for 12 hours, and they're lovely trash people

Am I The rear end in a top hat for asking boyfriend why he packed condoms for a trip he's taking without me? Sadly this is a serious question. In an exclusive (not open) relationship for 8 months. BF [30s] is leaving abroad for 3 weeks and invited me [also 30s] over last night since it was the last time we'd see each other for a while. He wasn't done packing for the trip, so there was stuff everywhere. I saw the condoms in his clear Ziploc bag (NOTE: plainly visible, I did not open or snoop through anything) of toiletries so of course I asked about them. His response was that he always keeps them in there and didn't bother taking them out for the trip. Reddit, I watched him combine OTC meds from two bottles into one bottle to save space on this trip. I don't think anything in his bag is in there by "accident." But now he's giving me the silent treatment and acting like I ruined New Year's for asking this. AITA for being (and remaining) suspicious of this? EDIT: He has never cheated previously, doesn't know anyone in this country and is going there for a fairly intensive field research project. I don't believe he has an active plan to cheat. I am, however, upset, because to me the act of bringing condoms is an active refusal to close the door on the possibility of intimacy with someone else if the opportunity happens to arise.

It's going to be pretty surreal when you have a generation of children neglected due to their parents video game addiction. I guess in a way it's not much different than neglect via other addictions, though I do wonder how these kids will turn out. Will they be so put off by vidya games that they choose to be luddites themselves? Will they inherent their parents horrible habits? We live in an Era where toddlers can use touchscreen tablets before they can even talk. What the hell are these people going to be like as adults?

I guess in a way it's not much different than neglect via other addictions, though I do wonder how these kids will turn out. We're probably already seeing it, with younger kids and their parents at least - folks being completely bewildered at their kids acting out in public like they've never gotten any attention, because they've never gotten any attention from the parents and the only time they recognize as an opportunity is when they're out in public and the parents aren't able to get sucked into candy crush or what have you.
