His net worth: Between $40 million and $300 million.

I've found being alone with snacks only costs about ten bucks

Show me a guy who sits around the house all day jacking off and I’ll show you someone who isn’t causing any goddamn trouble.

Don’t need a million dollars to do nothin’. My cousin's broke; don’t do shit.

Fuckin' A, man.

The advice is in fact still good regardless of his economic status...As it just seems to mean not making a pest of one's self.

Really, you don't pay rent?

Rent and bills are still a thing, most people have demands on their time and can't just sit at home minding their own.

Good for your cousin, that should be the aim society facilitates for people.

Yes, that is how it works. Unless you charge yourself a price to do so, which would be weird, as you would be both the customer and the business owner.

Unless it means that you are literally fucking priceless, thrusting into a Walmart price display board set to $0.00. Which would also be weird. You do at least go home before doing this, right? Actually, I don't want to know.

edit: I clearly struck a nerve, and I couldn't be happier 🤣

I hate that I have to specify but I clearly meant jacking yourself off, not roofied 12 year olds.

It's an Office Space reference

Ok buddy

Yeah, I am not saying you don't work or find a way to pay those necessary bills. I literally said not being a pest, and that means not butting in the business of others unnecessarily. Like, there is an unspoken context in what Tom Hardy is saying; he ain't saying don't work or earn money to pay the bills. Don't become a pest and don't get involved in petty, pointless drama are the two undercurrents I feel are behind his words.

Yeah but things have changed a little since the 90s

Fair.

In this thread: mind boggling levels of literalism and pedantry even by Lemmy standards.

The vignette of food, comfort, and peace as contentedness is pretty damn understandable for most humans lol

Alone? I don't think any of us can ever be truly alone again. Not with 200 cameras and 400 microphones and 600 radio wave devices in our homes all sending your exact snack eating fingerprint to 10,000 companies to use to train AIs to sell you more snacks tomorrow.

But yeah, sure, it's great.

My friend I hope you find yourself with a comfortable roof over your head to go along with all the jokes in this post.

You didn't strike a nerve, you're just being an idiot.

we seem to live in different kind of homes

I recognize that sentence.

Your wifi router will say otherwise. Your power meter says otherwise.

Privacy is now a façade.

Yeah, a million ain't getting you two chicks at the same time anymore.

For real, people try their absolute hardest to be miserable, instead of trying half as hard to be not miserable.

We all get it, shit kinda sucks now. Talk about other stuff sometimes.

I don't have a smart meter or a "WiFi router".

Also that link is region locked and I'm not allowed to access it.

you do own your house.

you pay taxes for the same way you pay for utility use. you are paying for the services of your town. police, fire, schools, roads, etc.

your home is only seized when you don't pay your taxes for years, because you've racked up debt by not paying for the services in your community that everyone else is paying.

folks on lemmy are dumb enough to think tribal hunter-gather societies 'have it better' than them.

because they are so 'oppressed' by things like medical care and processed food.

it's a contest. also why people on social media make up every more elaborate nonsense to be miserable about.

and well, it gets rewarded. it gets votes and likes and shares.

i notice the folks who complain the hardest in life are usually also the most privledged and wealthy. on reddit it was always the person who had like the most expensive elaborate life who was the most 'oppressed' by society.

like all the weebs here whining about their $3000 gaming PCs now costing $5000 due to RAM/chip prices going up, and then ranting about how they are 'forced' to pirate games now because how could they possible pay $20 for a game on sale on Steam, that's oppression.

Jeez, how high-class are your hookers?

Self-inflicted oppression is like autoerotic asphyxiation.

yes, they both feel really good.

the problem is self-inflected oppression is socially popular and rewarded, auto erotic asphyxiation is considered shameful and weird.

used to be that self-inflected oppression was weird and shameful, but that was over two decades ago.

Congratulations on putting your own underwear on this morning. You are very smart!

am I being an idiot?

Show me a guy

✅ guy

who sits around the house all day

✅ sits around (well he did)

jacking off

✅ he did that too

and I’ll show you someone who isn’t causing any goddamn trouble.

❌ pretty sure this guy got in trouble for sitting around his house jacking off all day.

my point is

edit: am I being punk'd by a bunch of incels?

I miss going to my friends' pads after school/work where I could smoke bowls and play video games or smoke bowls and watch TV/movies or smoke bowls and go to the mall or smoke bowls and go on a hike. They're all married with growing families and it just isn't the same doing it alone, though I certainly try.

Absolutely incredible. That's the quickest I've ever blocked someone. I appreciate your measured responses.

run openwrt.

nihilism and defeatism helps the capitalist class

Yeah mate, you're being a massive idiot here.

You're intentionally misrepresenting what he said and his intent, which everyone else in this thread got except you, so you can make what you feel is a really funny/clever point, that nobody else agrees with.

It's possible someone out there doesn't think you're being an idiot, but they haven't shown up yet.

You're intentionally misrepresenting what he said and his intent

I think mate was just making a joke, lol. It's really not that serious

I'm not gonna lie, your comment made me google it to see if it from a movie or something and the links I got back weren't super helpful, although there were lots of movies.

It's a quote on George Carlin.

His shows are on Youtube. You'll enjoy it. But be prepared to be brutalized on your sensitivities.

Have to be able to afford medical care to be oppressed by it.

Me alone, drunk in my apartment, watching content about depression, Quake 1, and news about the rapidly deteriorating global economy and politics.

If something youtube allows brutalizes your sensitivities it's time to get some thicker skin.

Noooo no drink! But I get it's hard and any sense of peace, even fleeting, can feel like the only thing that makes life worth living.
