Do you think $10,000 USD is a lot? How long would it take you to spend that if you were using it liberally? Could you possibly spend it in one day? Perhaps. But could you spend $10,000 every day for the rest of your life without finding some way to effectively just burn it? I don’t think I could.
But if you could, if you were forced to spend $10k every day of your life from the day you were born until you were 100 you would be spending $365.25 million which is a lot of money but theoretically that is an extreme overestimate of how much money you would need in your lifetime to live very comfortably assuming you have to spend that much from birth to death at 100 (average of lifespan is early 80s).
I see no possible reason for any individual to ever need that much money and yet we have billionaires. Why? They truly cannot spend all their money in their lives and they are still accruing more (partially because of there massive income but also ironically once you get rich enough you have enough influence you can stop paying for a bunch of shit which is super backwards). To spend $1B at this rate of $10k a day would take 273 years, three lifetimes. Meaning down to their great grandkids are far more than set for life even if their family earns no more money whatsoever.
$365.25M is the absolute most any person could ever possibly use and yet people like elongated muskrat have HUNDREDS of times this amount. I know it really goes without saying but what the actual fuck is wrong with these people? Not just that musky cunt but he’s the easiest punching bag atm.
in the same vein of “this live action movie would’ve been cooler if it were animated,” this triple A big budget hyperrealistic video game with raytracing and hair physics and volumetric lights would’ve been better if it looked like it was made on the gamecube
In mid-January 2023, my temporary contract with my employer ran up and I was laid off. Since then, I have applied to over 140 jobs. I know the number because I have to track and report all of my applications in order to get unemployment benefits.
Most jobs didn’t call or email back. Only a handful called to do an interview. Only one place hired me in late March for what seemed like a simple payroll/data entry position, and within a week, I realized it was a pyramid scheme. I came down with a bad flu the next week, and while I was recovering, I was fired via text.
I don’t remember where I heard this, but it was said that many of these jobs aren’t actually hiring at all, and they’re putting out bogus applications on job sites to make investors think they’re a big, growing company worth investing in. I can’t help but feel like there’s truth to it.
I can cite the whole Fake Listings thing for you. It is true.
About between 1-in-4 and 1-in-3 job listings in the US are just fucking fake. A combination of identity theft scams, attempts to prove growth to investors, and attempts to suppress labour complaints by understaffed and overworked employees.
I sent out SO many applications and got so few interviews I could count them on one hand. When I actually GOT to the interview stage, I usually advanced pretty quickly.
A few jobs ended up having to shelve the position for various reasons. A couple ended up going with someone else. And the others actually proceeded to the offer stage.
But this was after MONTHS of applying and hearing NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING. Several times I was told that they “selected other candidates”, only for the position to pop up AGAIN the next week! Once job did this THREE TIMES.
This should ABSOLUTELY be illegal. These places ask for basically a fucking essay before you can submit an application. It is literally taking away time and effort that could be directed at places that would actually have a chance of hiring you.
I applied to hundreds of jobs over the course of years and got one legitimate interview, which immediately got me hired.
fully sober and lucid walking down the street googling “is it normal to get a haircut” “am i allowed to get a haircut” “is the guy at the barber shop going to be mad at me when i go in there”
*sees a cop wounded by his car* omg!!! *rushes to the car and picks up the dispatch radio* OMG hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!~~ ^-^
a, like no.
im gonna like respond appropriately and handle the situation effectively.
i’d put the radio microphone in my mouth and make loud kazoo noises
So this cop tried to draw his gun on what he himself described as “some kids jumping around in a parking garage.” and while doing so, shot himself in the leg, then just fucking died right there. As far as anyone can tell, the kids he was trying to shoot just left as this idiot bled to death beside his cruiser lmao
Side note: the department eventually ruled it a suicide, but the general public consensus that that’s pretty much the best way they could rule it for their own image when “He accidentally shot himself in the leg after turning off his body cam and trying to murder children, then just bled to death next to his car” makes them look horrible on so many levels.
Why are people so lax about AI voices, it’s honestly way scarier to me than AI art
That’s not just stealing someone’s work that’s literally stealing someone’s voice. You’re using a machine to puppet around someone’s tool for communication. Are you fucking crazy. You stole a person.
I guess I have to clarify this, vocaloids like miku are voice banks made with the express permission of the voice provider which is WAY different then using the voice of professional VA without their consent or, God forbid, a literal dead person. Miku is a tool for music in the same vain as any other synthesized robot voice, AI voices of unconsenting VAs is identity theft
I feel like some people have a weird romantic fetish for aromantic people because I swear I’ve had multiple friends confess their feelings for me after coming out as aro.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
please do not force an lgbt label onto anne frank. she died before she had the chance to explore her sexuality and if you need to think of her as lgbt to have empathy for her you need to reconsider how you think of holocaust victims. please do not vilify her father, a man who lost his entire family in the holocaust, for censoring the parts in anne’s diary where she expresses attraction for women. it was 1947. jewish girls were already seen as hypersexual. he was protecting her legacy as best he could, and you have no right to call him a villain for wanting what was period-typical best for his late daughter.
Non-Jews, please read and reblog.
It is good to remember one part of her identity she was exploring, but that shouldn’t be the only part of her you can empathize with, and remember the time.
Perfectly matching and replicating colors just by seeing them is an art, and, while it’s also a very useful task, people who can do this are primarily artists.
Yeah but no but yeah – Look he didn’t just colour match it, he also added in the turbulence medium, the clearcoat and the correct metallic flecks… for a paint that will dry a lighter shade than when it goes on.
That’s like being served an entire thanksgiving meal made my one person in 45 minutes and then saying “Oh they made me a snack”: It is radically underselling what this person can do.
i always thought the crown of thorns resembled a dead halo which is apparently not as common an interpretation as i thought

don’t get me wrong “cruel parody of a crown” slaps as symbolism goes, but the idea of it also being a subversion of holiness, that which resembles but perverts it, just adds something in my opinion
The problem with studying Catholic heresies is that they litreally made a hobby out of inventing fully realised heretical theologies in order to accuse each other of subscribing to them. Basically every single one comes with a big asterisk noting that it’s unclear whether anyone ever actually believed this, or whether some random theologian just made up a guy to get mad at – and the worst part is that you absolutely cannot tell just from looking at them, because the heresies we do have evidence of actual practice for are, if anything, even weirder. Like, the guys who thought Jesus was a hologram were 100% real, so you can’t rule anything out!

A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.
Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, he’s just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because it’s framed as a punishment.
Another family use a baseball cap. It’s just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When they’re out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell he’s being punished because it’s in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.
And there isn’t the same contempt afterwards I’ve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said “Sorry Ellie” and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.
The psych nerds found out ages ago that punishments that make the child think for a few minutes (about one minute or year of age until they’re tweens) is much more helpful to develope social intelligence and understanding than punishments which prevents thinking, like the ones that involve pain. In fact, corporal punishment encouraged lying, extreme reactions, violent outbursts, go figure, they don’t trust you.
This is all really fucking serious and important and I’m mainly reblogging for that, because this correct mentality needs to be spread around more, but I’m also reblogging because I absolutely lost it at the child who dreads having to wear the normal blue hat of shame.
Someone in the notes said shes doing this with 200 lbs and i cant stress enough how wrong that is. Thats at least 160 kg she’s lifting, so closer to 350 lbs.
Ok finally looked it up, this is Hyejeong Park, clean and jerking 165kg (364 lbs) to win Senior World Champs in the W 87+ kg class this year (2023)
Reblogging again because another person in the notes said this was 200 lbs and it’s upsetting me

I just wanted to share this article about Palestine’s right to revolt and why it is important that we support it. It also has sources embedded in the text that debunk misinformation about them and Hamas. I implore everyone to read it and spread this information around.
Always remember that Palestine was explicitly granted the right to armed resistance by the United Nations, against the zionist occupation. The article mentions the U.N. enshrining that right for occupied and colonized people, but the U.N. also explicitly named Palestine in the resolution, as well as Namibia and Zimbabwe who were also fighting against apartheid and illegal occupation.
