There was a psych study years ago that suggested there was a limit to money’s ability to “buy happiness”.

Basically, yes, having enough money to not struggle through every day alleviates stress and dissatisfaction.

But life is still life and past a certain $ point you get diminishing returns.

I have learned to never underestimate the stupidity of people.

A post from Threads by manda g style. The post text reads, I can't explain it, but this is Star Wars. The post includes a photo of Lady Gaga standing next to Chappell Roan at the Grammy awards. Gaga is wearing a sleek all-black outfit with a corset. Her blonde hair is slicked back. Chappell Roan is wearing an ornate all white outfit.

Lady gaga and chappell roan from the first photo, but photo shopped to look like they're on a star wars space ship and chappell roan is holding a light saber and their outfits have been altered to look even more star wars aesthetic

Couldn't figure out who originally posted this on Threads.

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

I have decided to stop thinking being contemptuous of Normies is cool. Sometimes yeah, you have to point out the average American voter wants to have their cake and eat it too but also yikes

….“remeebr”!? Really?

I need an insider friend to make sure I can get one for May 4. 😬

“Haha oops totally forgot to take my meds that help me remeebr to do things and also the meds that help me care about doing things oh well who cares what’s the point haha”

If you think missing meds because ADHD is a funny in-joke, try missing meds because ADHD + depression!

I went to see Melania and Melania was in the audience and I saw Melania and Melania looked at me.

Managed to overhear an entire conversation inside a building while keeping a brisk stride.

Okay never mind I don’t think it’s a bit holy shit lmao en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Ad...

The sheer amount and audacity of the lying they do to everyone, including themselves, is worthy of an anthropological and sociological study.

It’s also 100% connected to Christian church culture.

sorry everyone we at pencil company know you liked pencils, but we can't think of any new ideas for them, so we're discontinuing pencils tomorrow. also, you won't be able to access all your pencil drawings, please burn them, cool

in the same way vibe-coding isn't going to solve problems with people not having access to enough software. It's not going to make revolutionary developments in anything, but it will make sure that all code is, on aggregate, less secure and more poorly understood.

frustrating how we have these amazing tools for scale and functionally most of what they do is make sure that everyone has access to more garbage.

Fast fashion didn't solve a problem with not enough people having clothes, but it did make sure entire countries are drowning in plastic garbage

Darth Vader and Princess Leia from Star Wars. Vader standing in front of Leia, facing her and pointing at her. Leia is wearing her all-white outfit from the first movie. They are on board Leia's spaceship in the opening scene of the movie.

This will only make sense to a small number of people but my roommate told me Siouxsie and the Banshees once performed in the town The Prisoner was filmed and, yep, that's a thing that happened.

Special mention to Siouxie's topless be-tailed fur hat-thing.

I hadn’t given attention to the date on your post. That’s mea culpa on my part.

I went to go look the guy up to make sure I had him blocked based on this newer post (I did.) and your post was the first thing that came up. 🙃

I’m also Jewish and 100% agree.

It’s tiresome seeing so many leftists so lazily and quickly fall into old and dusty tropes.

Some Jewish people are too far gone with being fully pro-Israel, too, but that’s no excuse, imo. Our “side” is supposed to be better.
