It happened to me one time, but she and her family were not really typical wealthy people. She was making 80 K a year, and her mother has something like 35 million, but her mother thought it was a huge victory to find eggs on clearance for $.80 instead of $1.50. So they didn’t really see themselves as rich, except for things like knowing if someone messed with them, they could sue them into oblivion.

My girlfriend was set to inherit 10 million and had plenty of money. I got tired of her acting like she was totally stressed out about $400 when that sort of money was never going to make any difference to her, especially since her career trajectory was likely to result in her making about 200 K within the next few years. I was making about 30,000 as an artist after coming back from a health problem where I was making zero, and I was less stressed about money than she was. So, we could’ve had a relationship where I enjoyed some sort of unusual luxuries that I could never afford myself, but they were so frugal that we didn’t. And being frugal had absolutely nothing to do with how they got their money. I think it was just a hold over from before her mom struck it lucky, from back when they were poor. But anyway, to her credit, my girlfriend never acted like they were better than me or like I was poor or as if I was with her because she was wealthy.

Very nice radishes. I used to see these called “beauty heart” but lately, more often watermelon radishes. I’m used to seeing ones that are light green on the outside.

Does this person have a Nokia phone?

No

I’ve had the same observation before. They insist you’re there early, and don’t really care if they make you wait an hour or more past your appointment time. But if you’re there 5 minutes late? Appointment canceled, pay $50.

That would be notable if it was true. it’s not

I like the tradition of “bless you!” when someone sneezes, but it is surely not necessary. And why do we say that for sneezing but not coughing?

The one with the two people is similar to Corporate Memphis, aka Alegria Art. It’s a style frequently abused by companies like Google.

I’m not super on board personally because I have absolutely absymal experience being ignored and mistreated by the medical field, as a cis male. On one hand, that makes me agree, it sucks to be eye-rolled at or dismissed. On the other hand, it makes me feel it’s not all about sexism.

A pilonidal cyst is something that people get from spending a prolonged time in a sitting position while rarely laying down straight or standing all the way. It became known during American wars of teh 20th century when service members (generally men at the time) spent hours or days sitting upright in jeeps. However, it is not in any way specific to men. Pores at the bending point, right at the base of the spine/top if the butt stay elongated, and can get clogged. Then there is basically open space behind there where an abscess can build from what is pretty much just a clogged pore. For some reason this is being portrayed as a sexist thing.

I had a pilonidal cyst removed and got absolutely jack shit. Nothing. The hospital was paranoid about opiate seekers and treated me like total scum.

It doesn’t.

That isn’t how socialism works. Socialism means that the workers control the means of production. It typically also means that necessary services such as healthcare are not run for corporate profit. Such government also typically give assistance to people who need it, rather than acting as if human life is worthless if it isn’t making capitalist profits for the owner class. In your case, if you were refusing to get education, employment, and contribute to society for whatever reason, that could be seen as some sort of psychological issue and most likely you would receive counseling. If you’re unable to work due to that, you may have assisted housing and a small stipend. But do you get like, a car? Luxury food? Vacations? No, because there is not a situation under socialism where “everything is free”. The bare necessities of life are supplied by the government, because that is, for one, smarter and more efficient than the American system where we do things like let preventable health conditions fester for years while people suffer and become untreatable rather than just giving them preventative care in the first place, which would save the entire society tons of money and increase overall productivity.

It sounds to me like a troll sort of thing, like how conservatives in the US frequently say that liberals and leftists “just want everything for free“.

Is this a real question? What socialist economy do you live in where “everything is free“?

Far preferable to plain bread without cheese.

Like, being self aware? Yes, that happens to me sometimes.

Apparently OP is “all white people are bad! the people who are on our side and those who are not! silence!!”

So, back in real life. At a protest? Yes, it’s valuable for white people to speak up, since they’re more difficult for police to persecute. Sorry you’re too uninformed and naice to realize this, so wise OP.

Pretty easy decision to block based on annoyingness level, thanks
