Fair enough. How about, middle class is just poor people who don’t know they’re poor.
- Comment on Who are the "middle class" supposed to support in the class stuggle? 2 days ago:
You must be right, because generalizations are always 100% accurate.
- Comment on Who are the "middle class" supposed to support in the class stuggle? 2 days ago:
The middle class is nothing more than poor people who are convinced that they’ll be rich someday.

When I bought my current home, I rented out my previous home to friends of friends. They covered the payments on that house until they were in a situation where they could get a loan to buy it from me. There were no yachts or caviar for me during those years.
Renting out one or two homes doesn’t make someone “owner class”.

I notice autistic traits in most of my favorite conversation partners. I often wonder if others see them in me as well. 🤷🏻♂️
I appreciate their passion and honesty.
- Comment on How to relax and most importantly stop thinking about the things i could be doing? 2 days ago:
Definitely. I wouldn’t suggest it for people trying to get shit done, (we all know the Afroman song) but it is a sure fire way to stop giving a shit about them.

And look how much happier I am for not hearing about it back then! 😂

I’m guessing it’s because they are both found on the way back from the pub.

Am I the only one enjoying the recent increase in “shadow” launches? I really appreciate not having to wait months or years or decades (looking at you Bethesda) after first hearing about a game.

I Chameleon to those sometimes too

If all of your friends are in completely different groups, you may be one of the rare Chameleons.
As opposed to the people who surround themselves with like minded people, you prefer the novelty of new and different perspectives. Chameleons get along well with many groups because they are great at listening and learning about the subcultures of others. You may not get into the nitty gritty, but you understand what they’re about, and can carry on a conversation with them and their “insert subculture” friends.

Sorry for not being perfect enough for you! I don’t know why you say such horrible things to me!
- Comment on Why do narcissists have such fragile egos? 1 week ago:
I’m with Photuris, it’s a much more complicated game than you might expect, and they’ve been playing it their whole lives.
Rule #1 is to preserve your image at all times. Which means not flipping out in public.
Rule #2 is that everything is someone else’s fault. Which means if you call them out in public, they will cry and ask why you are so mean to them. Instant sympathy, and you look like the asshole, and assuming you yourself are not a narcissist, you’ll probably feel like an asshole too.
Most likely, if they really are a narcissist, you’ll try your test, think they aren’t, and look really bad in front of everyone.

Not so much beat them, as “became so much of a nuisance that it wasn’t worth crossing the ocean to keep us”

Obviously, the labels are above the button they correspond with unless the label is underneath its button.

Some of the phobias do have witty names like this, so I believed it. 🤷🏻♂️
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 1 week ago:
If one is hypothermic, I would actually recommend that they fart as much as possible.
Heat doesn’t come from nowhere. If a fart increases the temperature of the room, then it must decrease the temperature of the body it escaped from.

They specified that they were always the bottom, so this’ll be a whole new world for them!

How else do you explain them tasting the same?

Isn’t Fortnite still in beta or something?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I agree with the towers. Worst part of the game.
My main intention on my remastered playthrough was to try to break the game through spell creation and enchanting. I ended up with a few spells that would turn me invisible and pump my speed and acrobatics to insane levels. Most of those tower levels have you running all over and opening gates, but I just jumped over them and avoided every enemy as I sprinted to the top.

- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 2 weeks ago:
Women actually aren’t as inferior to men as you seem to think.
You pick any female athlete. I’ll challenge her at her preferred sport, and I’ll bet against myself 99/100 times.
Anyone who’s going through transition would have far less testosterone than I, and what I have isn’t going to help me beat a female athlete.
What it’s really doing is dehumanizing people. How would you feel if you tried out for a team and they said YOU had to play on the other genders team? No matter what you said, you could not convince them that you were what you know you are. Would you still play? No, you’d do exactly what they want you to do, just go away. Stay out of our sight because you’re strange and you don’t belong here.

Oh shit. 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks. Better fix that.
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 2 weeks ago:
So, as an elder Millennial, the whole trans thing was foreign to me, and still is to many people my age. We just didn’t talk about it like we do now, and when we did, it was always a joke, so the idea made us uncomfortable. I’m saying it’s right, I’m saying that’s where a lot of people my age and older were raised on.
My default response to this was to agree that men should not play women’s sports.
It was a Reddit conversation that made me change my mind. One person had said If we are banning people who were born with a penis from women’s sports because they were born with an unfair advantage over other competitors, why aren’t we banning people over 6.5’ tall from the NBA? They were clearly born with an advantage that the rest of us don’t have. Some people are born smarter, faster, stronger than others, that’s just the way it is. There are a disproportionate number of black professional athletes, is that evidence that they were all born with an advantage? Would nearly as many people agree with banning black athletes from professional sports because of this apparent advantage? Of course not. They would call it out as a blatant hate crime, which is exactly what they are doing with trans people.

- Comment on better paying job dealing with egos vs peace of mind job that pays poorly. I'd be taking a 20% financial hit. Worth it? 2 weeks ago:
I spent about 20 years doing sales and I hated every minute of it.
I now have a consistent office job where I wear quite a few hats, but there’s no pressure for me to convince people to spend their money on crap they don’t need.
Not having the urge to step on the gas and plow into a cement wall on your way to work is worth far more than that 20%.
- Comment on It Turns Out, Steam’s Adult Content Ban Has Been Plotted For A Year And Is Spearheaded By One Of Project 2025’s Leading Voices 2 weeks ago:
I don’t understand the hate, so I’ll try explaining myself and either redeem myself or dig myself deeper.
Religious zealots have been trying to ban explicit material since forever.
Saying Project 2025 caused the Steam ban is like saying Tipper Gore caused Project 2025.
