But but but Gabe is the bestest billionaire and cannot be held accountable.

He is a gamer billionaire. That's even more appealing than space billionaire.

Still a ridiculously and insanely wasteful person who's significantly greedy.

Another shit stain billionaire that the gamer dudes fantasize about being.

he's not diddling kids or sexually harrassing his employees, as far as we know. It's a low bar but I'll take it.

He's not diddling kids: he's just giving them gambling addictions!

I dream about being the kind of rich that allows me the mental space to get hyper fixated on stuff like that.

Personally I'm a fan of The HU. It's a more modern take on throat singing.

I was able to see them live a couple of years ago, they were great!

Mongolian throat singing is amazing. You know, where I live, they have these guys coming out with leaf blowers in late April, making a racket in my neighborhood, and they just move street by street like a roving gang of crazed leaf blowers, and getting rid of all the crap that was accumulated under the snow when it thaws. Every year, if I'm home at that time, I bring my big speakers to the wind...

That's too funny, I hope this is real. But even if it's not, pretty funny

You set your bars too low.

Only way I stay sane in an age of insanity.

I'll take it over a guy who throws nazi salutes. I mean, the real answer is that nobody should have so much money, it can't do any good to anyone. But if the only controversy we can find about him is that he did that one gross thing to his foot that one time 20 years ago, I'll take it, oh how much I'll take it

I agree with you, extremely rich people are horrible for the world; but I feel that Stallman is just a disgusting person all around. He's also misogynist and I bet that if he was rich, he would totally act like Musk. He just doesn't have the money to do so.

I can see that, unfortunately I have that curse of remembering pretty much everything. The almost 40 years I've been alive have been... very long.

That's useful though! Do you have the ability to chronologically recall things?

I can remember distinct details, but I have almost no ability to remember when they happened without context clues.

I do and it actually gets annoying because as you get older you start to notice cognitive decline in friends and family. One day, they don't remember what happened and then you realize there's no point in making an argument over it.

Recently, my mom traveled where I lived for a bit with grandma. And this was over thirty years ago, the caveat is that I was roughly 3-4 years old when I lived there and I knew exactly where I was and how things changed over time.

I will say it was probably a weird conversation for my aunt because I could describe everything in the area and bring up old memories--some of which she didn't remember.
