Dude, read the room. We are in the era of the oligarch.
MOST money will go to the clueless rich who do not need it and we will continue to slide into french revolution levels of wealth gap.
IED(EDS) sufferer and spectrum surfer. You probably won’t like what I have to say.

In foster care we were part of the free lunch program. The first week in my first high school the lunch lady made it a point to call us all up first so EVERYONE knew who the ‘poors’ were. This was in one of the top 5 most expensive zipcodes in the U.S.
For the next four years I ate knowledge in the library for lunch.
My uncle: “AIN’T NO BROWN KID EVER GONNA EAT ON MY DIME DODGAMMIT!”
He and all his friends are voting, you should too.
I’d love that, my entire frontpage is the same 30 things over and over unless I deliberately sort for something then it’s a DIFFERENT 30 things over and over
In higher circles, wealth is considered a measure of competence.
It is a core tenet of capitalism: “Well if he’s such a bad businessman, why is he so rich?”
One of the ways they hide their incompetence is buying the talents of other, actually skilled people.
Another is ostentatious displays of wealth to impress other members of the owner class of your absolute flushness of cash and calmness of mind to keep faith in whatever your schemes are this week to stay relevant
Billionaires should not exist, and a trillionaire is simple an abomination
I dunno what the movie was called, I was 7 and had fallen asleep in front of the TV. When I woke up there two ‘grey’ aliens of in hindsight terrible costumes crouching in some bushes.
I had never seen a depiction of a grey alien before that and my uncanny valley sensor peaked higher than ever at any other point in my life and I ran to my room without even shutting off the tv.
It’s funny to look back and remember that as a moment of legit fear, knowing what I do now.
I just hit Diamond 3 in Master Duel after 2 years of stagnating in gold and plat
I know it isn’t a big thing to most of you but I am being completely legitimate when I say that Master Duel may be the most complicated game I’ve ever played and I’ve played Dwarf Fortress.
You are using a special character that is likely reserved internally
The best games I have ever ran my players would go major off-plot like spending the entire session befriending a rando NPC I didn’t even have a statblock for or turning a random wilderness encounter into a sessions long war against a pack of worgs.
It took me a while to get over all the lost planning time, and it always turned out to be worth it to let my players have reign.
Even gay men like boobs, it’s kind f built in to us as a species.
I can pinpoint the exact moment: When the admins actively gave t_d a full pass on anything they wanted to do in 2016.
That single act drove away more users than any previous exodus.
Inceloids are so whiny nowadays a game about squares gets complaints about diversity pandering
Some of those bad boys would pack 8 D batteries and you didn’t ever have to charge it, just crack open a new pack of batteries every few outings.
Hell you can GRILL with 8 D batteries.
wtf is this I don’t speak emoji
What a clever and well written response that clears up any speck of doubt in my mind about your capacity for communication.
All the gold in the ocean
Find a shady diamond dealer in Morocco, that’s how my uncle managed it.
Those were Vulture Bees and have no sting so it wasn’t the swarm that killed the lion. Their nests are gnarly too.
But to be clear, if every lion fought every been, I’m pretty sure the bees win 100%. There aren’t that many lions out there.
… we’ve had boomboxes since the 70s yo…
Yes and that’s wonderful and everywhere should implement it.
But they won’t.
Because people are fundamentally assholes. Just California has a lower quotient due to higher education (though hollywood does skew that a bunch too)
