  • I don’t think you’re kidding yourself, i think you’re just capable of introspection and critical thought.

    I frankly consider the excessive spending and flaunting of wealth that many people do to be a sign of pretty profound unhappiness, they’re just trying to desperately fill a void inside them and distracting themselves with constant consumption.

    No, looking at the world and at history we can see what actually makes people happy, and those things are quite simple: having a social group, being in nice places, and having hobbies. Of course there are other things too but these are the basic pillars.

    Personally if i got a shitload of money i’d invest it in founding organizations to improve the world and funding existing efforts to do the same, because it’s very clear that i personally benefit from everyone else having good lives. I want everyone to be so well off that you can drop me naked in any random place and i never ever have to worry about anything, i can 100% rely on people just giving me clothes and food and being able to travel for free, THAT is the ultimate freedom.

    i’ve had the beer and wine that everyone else insists tastes great and it tasted like actual poison with zero redeeming qualities, so i’m left to conclude that those who enjoy alcohol are just suffering from stockholm syndrome and/or addiction.

    at least with coffee there’s the actual coffee flavour buried underneath the fact that it’s all but burnt to coal, so i can see how someone with sufficiently desensitized tastebuds might enjoy it, and i can sort of enjoy it if i drown it in milk and chocolate.












  • it astounds me that people don’t do this, really

    like i tend to always pay attention to how nice a property looks when i’m travelling past it, and good god it looks so much more enjoyable when you have a bunch of shade and greenery around you!

    Properties without some sort of tree/hedge wall surrounding it out in the open just look absolutely miserable and trigger a long dormant part of my brain that fears being picked off by a giant bird.
