Wealthy and rich have nothing to do with one another.

Wealthy is a person that lives in a stable environment, where they aren’t threatened with death on a regular basis (such as, losing one’s job).

yeah guys always get the wrong idea, after all /s

Is there something I miss here?

Yes, the stigmatization of high school boys.

I was in this very situation where a girl gave me hints but took a step back every time i approached her. I decided not to be too aggressive and ask her out, because i was raised (2012) in a time where it felt like even asking a girl out would be seen as sexual harassment.

In retrospect i must say i feel terrible about it because i feel as if i should have just told her how i feel.

I remember the lady who started talking to me (while i was working) and wouldn’t shut up. It was my first day at work.

Well acschually oxygen is a corrosive chemical and probably damages your lungs (since that’s the tissue that comes in most contact with it). And also the Great Oxydation Event is probably one of the greatest - if not the greatest - mass extinction of all times, so …

Einzelfälle as we say in german.

Unchain yourself from the criticisms of figures your country has implanted in you over your lifetime, and think in terms of ideas.

Realistically, that’s not gonna happen for most people. Hear me out:

In 1500s when the printing press was invented, Martin Luther (not to be confused with Martin Luther King) saw the opportunity to print “bibles for everyone” to transform everybody into a priest - an enlightened being that always (or at least mostly) does the good/right thing.

We know from history that that didn’t succeed. Not everybody turned into a priest, not even close. Instead, he caused Evangelism, and is partially causal for the Thirty Years’ War.

Realistically, people thinking in terms of ideas is an inclination you’re born with (or so I believe). There’s just a lot of people who are not gonna do that. Especially if people see themselves at a (economic) disadvantage because of it. Most people just wanna live through ordinary life.

BTW, I guess something similar happened with the internet. When the internet was first invented, people guessed that it would lead to the total education of all human beings. Instead, it has caused smartphones, “social” media (which is more antisocial media tbh), and a lot of spreading dumb narratives. So i’m not sure it really “enlightened” the people.

I think working is bad for human health. I don’t get when people cheer about “creating workplaces”; that’s the worst that could happen. I think that humans will be kept as workforce for the economy as long as it is needed. So, economic growth leads to new workplaces and that’s a bad thing. I don’t get how people cherish growth.

Apart from that, there’s nothing that can be done to stop growth because growth is actually a very powerful spirit that is more powerful than human intervention, so it’s not like a society “chooses to grow” - that’s just an unavoidable necessity in my eyes.

Also, most human workers will (!) be replaced by AI in the next 15 years or so, and that’s a good thing. We need to de-normalize working for your basic human right to life, and establish Universal Basic Income - which will only be successful if enough people see that there’s not so much work to be done anymore and that creating actual social welfare programs is unavoidable. I’m mostly just waiting for this development myself because I do bad (and I mean, really bad) in the workforce of today.

funny “cat” videos

cat as in pussy

tbf the internet is going to consist mostly of 3 things in the future:

• propaganda
• scientific information
• funny cat videos

So I guess it’s not really a surprise that this is happening.

don’t worry, you’re doing fine

I’m an anarchist but I’ve never wanted to hurt the people around me; so i’m not sure.
