I don't think it's fair to publicly show off and simultaneously lightly insult other people (the original post, unless it's ironic and I'm missing the joke, is trying to make such a point) but then not expect any sort of a response. These aren't people just minding their business. These appear to be extremely over confident people who crave public attention, and they (or their friends) are willing to put others down in the process.
I don't think they need to be defended.
Some companies give stock as a primary benefit. Some of those companies may provide stock in lieu of some or all of a salary. That doesn't mean it's necessary valuable - they typically give you some amount of stock equal to a part of your salary (or some other normal monetary amount), and you would be hopeful the value increases substantially over time.
Just the fact that the other person has stock from their time being employed by Disney is no indicator of their wealth. You can own partial stock as well. It could be worth $50. We don't know.
I feel like the wealthy people you see are the ones who either get excitement from flaunting it or from lying about it (for example, mtv cribs was all fake). There are plenty of stories (yes i know they're just stories) about multi millionaires who drive the same old truck, wear regular blue jeans, and have a nice quiet (albeit larger than average) home.
It's not crazy at all. I just think we see the outliers more frequently than not because they want us to see them.
I appreciate it, thank you. Yeah fair points
I disagree with it being heroic, but i really appreciate the sentiment. I imagine more people would do it if it was more affordable. I've gotten some flack from my family for it being costly (minimal flack, more like a double check), but it's worth it (and they understand once i explain it).
I spent a lot of money to install solar, got new efficient windows, and got a heat pump to reduce gas usage. I'm thankful to have the financial freedom to make these decisions, as well as to have referrals for affordable options.
We're trying to be better about plastic usage and waste in our household.
I did these to reduce my energy usage. They'll save money long term eventually, but not enough to be worth it monetarily. I can't control much but i can at least try to do what i think is better.
Ha, i am somewhat familiar with the genre, i just wanted to contribute :) studied ancient rome, so that is legit what i typically think of when i hear goth.
To me, goths are the people who sacked Rome in 410. None of this makes sense to me.
Oh man, that's all i ever do. I'm never on a good run where i can just switch to something else, I'm always just stuck. Id love if it got a rework somehow, like maybe only -.4x for using your most used hand
Gahhhh that just happened to me tonight trying to gold the abandoned deck. And then i accidentally clicked only 4 cards on psychic. Sigh
I'm definitely not an expert so don't take my point of view too seriously. However, I'm guessing so because it's a meme directed at a community that should understand it, but nobody seems to understand it at all. A lot of AI is just crowd sourced language models, so it'll just put commonly used words together that may or may not make sense, depending on the prompt. In this case, it looks like a prompt of something like make a meme about a niche metal band using the I'm too afraid to ask template.
I also question any poster who makes a post like this but then doesn't engage anyone. Just drop it and move on. This person seems active on other subs, so i wouldn't guess bot account, but that would leave AI. He or she has no idea how to respond to the comments because they don't understand their own post is my guess.
IDK if hated is the right word. This seems like an AI generated meme to get a rise out of a community.
That being said, allegedly dragonforce was annoying to see live because they used to get too drunk to play their own songs. They seem to be more sober now, and they play pretty well.
I think they're referencing the manga/anime death note. So they're just writing in the names of countries hoping they will die.
Did a light google search, looks like the individual is the former prime minister of poland (between ww1 and ww2), and a fairly prominent statesman, who I'm guessing hated those other countries.
I haven't watched too many full games this season, including playoffs, but I'm so glad I caught this one. The fadeaway from gobert was absolutely nuts. You could see from the middle of the third quarter that jokic was gassed, and nobody else besides Murray was hitting any shots for Denver.
This was an unbelievably exciting game, though I'm still confused as to why Denver seemed to give up right at the end after getting a steal. Seemed so odd.
And really, Naz had a game changing performance. He stepped up big when Minnesota needed him to. Just.. wow. Incredible comeback.
Yeah i got crazy lucky! I wish it was a higher stake so i could've cruised through green more quickly.
Trying to gold all the decks, on an early Green Deck run (i forget which, i think red or green stake), i found an early burnt joker, followed by a brainstorm, a blueprint, and a perkeo. Eventually got blackboard as my fifth joker.
Spent the entire time moving around my Jokers around, getting 3 negative copies of Pluto for high Card from perkeo each round, then a high Card discard x3 from burnt each round. Ended with something silly like level 80 High card. Didn't push far into endless, but it was the easiest and most interesting time I've had beating Ante 8.
Living in the USA, my experience looking into this was similar. However, there are some doctoral programs in europe that are free even for international students, which is actually quite tempting.
Sorry I'm late to this, but the board suggests the destruction happened some time after 2277, not that it happened in 2277. The fall of shady sands apparently is before the bombing.
