a lunatic? completely. but this is almost a valuable message to break through to that echo chamber.

Flying economy just for fun?

It is just her humble bragging about being rich by cosplaying as a regular person.

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 156 points 1 week ago (2 children)

yeah, it's ridiculous - but the core messaging is "money insulates you from reality" and that's something these people need to hear.

She "launched her first six-figure business in middle school" aka. has rich parents and never knew anything she is talking about here

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 61 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Every "independently" wealthy person under 35 on the Internet.

Step 1, have lavishly rich parents

Step 2, use parents money and business networks to make money

Step 3, brag about being humble while also flaunting your wealth.

This is on par with the Greek stoics, idle rich fuckers who would deprive themselves of luxuries "for a while" ... and then congratulate themselves for that deprivation when they got back to doing their regular idle rich fucker shit.

quietly nudges an old tent and sleeping bags out of sight

Yeah who would want to deprive themselves of luxuries for awhile, and then reminisce about the experience later!?

😐

This reads like she was living outside of her means and recently was forced to return to her financial reality, and is framing it as a choice she made lol

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 65 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So they’re unemployed and pretending that they’re just trying to ground themselves.

I find the cooking one weird, because the food you cook for yourself is usually the best. I know exactly how cheesy I like my pasta sauce, and how big I like the chunks of chicken sliced in my curry, and what ratio of spices I like in my fajitas. I'm not even that good a cook. I can't imagine having enough money to want to stop doing that.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

But how are you supposed to enjoy that food without an obsequious NPC to cut your steak for you? Is it even eating without an envious audience?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The food at the really fancy restaurants is really fucking good. I'm a pretty good cook and baker, and if all my time was taken up with something that pulled in over $1MM a year, you bet your ass I'd sup at such schmancy-ass establishments ... for a few years until I can just retire, then start cooking again with all that knowledge under my belt.

sometimes i like to strap 4 prosthetic legs to my hips and carry around pine needles in a pair of tweezers, after which i pour molten aluminum into an ant nest

Rich people will steal anything.

"whisper networks of power players" doesn't set any alarm bells off for you? When you see something like that happening, you don't think, even for one second, "everyone in this room should become a fine pink mist very quickly." You don't think that?? You just go along with it and try to get some power for yourself?

PATHETIC

What really matters is actually feeling that superiority when you get on a subway with the peasants.

Nice. I’ve been planning for an extended period of being homeless, starving, and working on my interpersonal skills by relying on strangers for basic needs.

Oh, wait, not planning, I meant bracing. Silly me.

No one should have this privilege to begin with. Society should work to create a livable experience for everyone instead of constantly making comfort and stability an exclusive club.
