Hey, don't insult anon's inceligence! I bet he also has a finely a finely curated selection of k-on anime figures and essays on why wimminz should submit to men like him, which they would totally understand and fawn over him if they had galaxy brains like he has!

It's usually “how to succeed in life” intelligence, not “realization of abstract k-skeletons as k-skeletons of intersections of convex polyhedra in R^2k−1 in life” intelligence if that doesn't make you money.

Metacognition, hot

Cognition, not

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thinking about thinking is just brain masturbation, which is the pinnacle of homosexuality.

[–] BaraCoded@literature.cafe 2 points 1 day ago

Being a homosexual, I know that thinking about thinking/brain masturbation is unfortunately universal, thus simply the pinnacle of being a cunt.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Incidentally it's true. Granted I'm asexual but I'm only attracted to intelligence.

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

I feel attacked

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (5 children)

And how do you succeed in life? Step 1 is to have rich parents. The term commonly used for those seeking out people from rich families is gold digger.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You have already failed. Success is not measured in wealth.

If you are having a good time with friends/family around a fire pit with a total cost of £0. You are succeeding more than the richest man on earth who can't get anyone to genuinely like him.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For those three hours, then they have to pay rent, buy food, pay bills. And try to survive, which wealth makes immensely easier.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure I guess, but its not like it has to be difficult to pay for all that stuff.

Living I'm south east UK and even at minimum wage its pretty easy to cover essentials. If you think spending more on things you don't need will make you happier, that might be where you are going wrong.

The first time I felt like life was alright was after leaving school and moving out. Despite on paper being vastly below the poverty line. It didn't feel like it, I could afford rent and food, didn't really know what else to spend my money on. GTX1060 isn't something you need to buy many of.

Main thing to reduce living costs is just share a house with other people. Our rooms still had their own locks so its not like anyone could go through my stuff.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is existing NOT living. your wife going to live in that "room"? Kids? Anything resembling a vacation? Ever being able to go out?

Damn you're brain washed.

And that's in a country with free health care and decent minimum wage and social support. That shit don't work outside UK/EU countries.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Minimum wage is much lower for apprenticeships, plus I was only working 11-5. Once I completed the apprenticeship I started earning regular minimum wage. Saved most of the difference for a house deposit.

I didn't say I did nothing, just that I didn't spend much money after essentials are covered. Tbh, still don't.

After work go to the beach, drink a can of cider, cook up some hotdogs for dinner and have a swim - it costs me under £1.

Been going out fruit picking lately, mostly plums, apples and blackberries. That costs £0 to do and you end up with delicious food out of it. Or lately, been making wines from some of them which was a small one time cost for some bottles.

Gardening and allotment, £50 a YEAR rent for the allotment and get a pretty big space from it. Still a WIP as I am new to that but I get to chat with people there along with grow my own fruit/veg. Before that I just had my small garden which I use to grow herbs.

If this is just "existing", I feel like I would question who is the one that's brainwashed.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's great!, when your done patting yourself on the back and thinking only about your own situation. You might want to consider 80-90% of the rest of the world's population where those safety nets DON'T exist...

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So using the same logic I can dismiss the problems of Americans because of Sudan?

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Did I break you? Because that makes no sense on any level.

I mean you're trying to dismiss 90% of the world? So now you're agreeing with me?

[–] Haquer@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But enough about Elon Musk.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's possible both scenarios included Elon Musk.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think he has friends

That would probably be labeled as incelligence by the replier in the OP.

If your only measure of success is wealth, that's kind of sad.

[–] Senal@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

Wealth for wealth's sake, possibly, but i'm not gonna start throwing shade at someone else's life goals.

Wealth is , however, a good baseline to build upon to achieve other metrics, up to a point at least.
