    It is a pain in the ass. It’s about being able to pay to solve a problem you didn’t have before, but created for yourself by spending more money than you ever had to in the first place. “I’m so rich, I pay more than you make your entire life, in order to have a house so ridiculously big, that I have to pay even more money on a monthly basis, in order to even keep this shit running”. That’s really what it is.

    I mean, I know well-off people that have indoor gyms, spas and recording studios in their home. Or big play rooms for the kids that’s literally just a huge room full of toys. So to an extent, I get what having extra space can mean. But then you realize that those houses are tiny specks of dust compared to the gargantuan Hollywood monstrosities.

    I mean, we are elbow deep in homeless people, and regular folks struggling to pay rent, so I’m really not sure why everyone thinks Johnny Silvertongue needs 82 bathrooms for his family of 3, even if he did star in a recent blockbuster. Maybe some of that real estate should be redistributed.



  • Well, it obviously depends on the style of fabric. Soft and loose fabrics can be good to have baggy, such as sweatpants or flax-based summer clothes. But specifically for the type of jeans shown here, I don’t like the tactile feel of the excess fabric. And it catches on itself and gets in the way.

    I don’t like skinny jeans either, to be fair, but slim fit is good for me. Im also italian, if that explains it.

    That’s not my experience, those WFH job offers from far away usually have pretty high pay checks but also ridiculous amounts of responsibility. Like, they will pay 40k a month on some crypto thing, but then you are required to be available 24/7, and yes, they will call at 3am regularly





  • I was in a queue two days ago for tickets to a show. Of course, I got kicked out of the queue twice, and then lost my chance to get a ticket at all. When I wrote their support about it, they said they hadn’t anticipated this amount of traffic and it had crashed their servers.

    On a pre-sale that you had to sign up for.

    You know, so they will know how many people they can expect.

    Something that Ticketmaster routinely does, giving them exclusive access to the numbers, telling them exactly how much traffic they can expect.

    A slightly more cynical person might say that maybe, just maybe, the only goal Ticketmaster has is to spend the bare minimum to keep their website afloat, so they can pocket the rest. They don’t give a fuck about anyone or anything except their own profits. If this criminal organization would go down in flames tomorrow, I would buy pizza for everyone on my floor to celebrate.

    Honestly, I’m just surprised that they’re still allowed to exist in Europe.



  • Ah, I see. So you grew content with who you are, and now you have no motivation to improve yourself to your personal ambitions. That’s an angle I hadn’t considered. Well, in that case, get off your ass and get shit done! Just DO IT! :D I don’t know if that helps, but I know discipline and motivation is something a lot of people struggle with, who eventually figure it out.

    If it seems completely hopeless and nothing works, have you considered talking to your doctor? Because there are after all some pretty big motivation eaters in undiagnosed ADHD or depression, etc.


  • That sounds less like validation, and more like praise. Validation comes without expectations. You are valued. Your existence matters. You are okay, and we like you. Its nice to have you around. You cannot fail to live up to this; its an intrinsic value you have (perhaps up to the point where your crimes exceed in to the unforgivable, but for the sake of argument, I’ll just assume you’re not a serial killer or whatever).
