I quoted the Bible because the image in the OP is Luigi in the style of a saint. I'm not religious.

If I said "the Sun is hot" and you said "if you live on Earth you experience temperatures hotter than most of the universe" you also wouldn't be wrong. You'd be Neil deGrasse Tyson. Most of the universe is -270°C. Earth is 15°C. The sun is 1,000,000°C. No matter how you look at it, the Sun is hot. The Earth is only hot if you purposefully compare it to cold things.

1/3 of the world make $2 a day. I made about $137 a day. Thompson made $27,945 a day. I am $135/d away from the poorest and $27,808/d away from Thompson. I'm not sure what the goal is of saying I am rich compared to the poor when I am 205x closer to being the world's poorest than I am to being a multi-millionare, let alone one of the approx. 2,700 billionaires in the world.

Anyone who gives steam $100 can upload ~~as many "games"~~ any "game" they want. There is no quality control.

It's a common scam to throw some free assets together to make "collect coin" and then swap the coin asset out with a stick and call it "collect stick" and then swap out the stick with a brick and call it "collect brick" then upload all of them to Steam and bundle them into a 50 game pack with a sale price of $100 (95% off!) and hope someone buys the collection thinking they're getting 50 real games at a steep discount.

Here's an example. It's a 33 game bundle for 99% off its original price of $8,579! They're all the same "game" with different free assets made by the same dev who uploaded 167 versions of this "game" to steam on March 28, 2024 and priced each around $200.

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God

Matthew 19:24

Is "Mistress" a chess title?

I worked at a small business that hired on a new guy. After a few days he asked us if we've noticed the owner and secretary were a little..."close". I guess nobody told him the owner and secretary were married.

People who vote for fascists don't believe it will solve inequality. They believe it will make them the benefactors of inequality. They don't want to get rid of societal hierarchy, but to be placed closer to the top.

My workplace sometimes has a slow day and the bosses will give workers two options: Go home unpaid, or stay at work for your entire shift and get paid. If you stay, you don't have to do any work, since there is no work to be done. People mostly sit in the cafeteria on their phones for 8 hours.

I asked why we can't choose to go home and get paid and they said it's because then we'd be getting paid for nothing...but we're all sitting in the cafeteria on our phones. We're not working. We are literally being paid for nothing. Why can't we go home with pay? What's the difference?

The difference is that labourers must trade their time for pay. You are selling an hour of your time to the company. That hour doesn't need to be productive, but you can't use it freely. It's the company that makes money by selling a product or service, not its workers. A worker who produces $10,000 of product in an hour is paid for the hour, not for the product. The owner is paid for the product.

I received a framed picture of my parents, from my parents. They said it was because I didn't have a picture of them hung up in my house.

The way I've heard it said is "if you live in a developed country, you could probably afford to move to Japan right now. If you get a job in Japan, you'll never afford to move back."

Japan's cost of living is low compared to developed nations, but their average income is also low for a developed nation.

It's difficult to call for Trudeau to resign and also vote that you have confidence in Trudeau as a leader. Obviously he doesn't want to hand the government to the Conservatives but supporting Trudeau wasn't winning any favours either.

There's a reason Patrick Bateman worked in ~~murders and executions~~ mergers and acquisitions.

Real G's move in silence like lasagna
