I don't know the stymie lore, can someone summarize?

Thank you in advance

stymie has spent the last five years insisting that being a computer dweeb isn't "real work" and moreover is corrupting of both the soul of man and society as a whole

real men face to bloodshed and work for $10 an hour digging ditches because that's how you get to know the real america or purify yourself or something

the gimmick has never been super clear

but over time it has become more and more obvious that stymie is, him- or her-self, a technology professional, hence the interest in constantly browsing yospos, and not just that, but a rather wealthy one

"lol u scrubs don't even know how rich you are, look at this essay about $500k households" yeah right stymie i'll get right on that

what's our basis for inferring stymie is rich/management etc? other than you hit a nerve clarly which could be interpreted either way.

won't stop posting poo poo like that link to the household earning 500k, as if that is somehow relevant to the average yosposter

stymie is extremely out of touch, so the question is, is it because stymie is rich as gently caress and self-loathing, or because stymie has no idea what we do here, and has spent the last five years reading yospos compulsively for ???? reasons

the rich but self-loathing hypothesis is way more yospos, so i prefer that one to be true

Those are oddly specific figures, has he/she alluded to that?

Stymie get back in here and clarify, i know you're reading this

E: earlier you asked Johnny what would make him believe that you're not a wayward exec. How much do you make a year, including bonuses and stocks and poo poo

It was great when they claimed they had some enlightened knowledge, and when pressed for what that knowledge was, all they said was "you have to get to the conclusion yourself" without stating what they concluded in the end.

how is it that stymie is able to guarantee that we all, without a doubt, are wealthier than him? could it be that, as an executive officer of a high-profile technology company, all his wealth is stored in special-purpose investment vehicles that cannot be attributed to him? after all, stymie is well known to post sincerely, in good faith and without hyperbole, so it seems like the most likely explanation. i'll bet that by "up my volunteer work" he is referring to the mouse movements and clicks required to transfer a few deece figgies from his ubs account to his donor-advised fund
