Don’t blame me. I voted for dog.

She was a good girl. Some say the bestest girl.

I don't get how they're so bitter and hateful. Happiness is some chemicals in the brain and money can definitely buy all of those.

They have the money and leverage to get whatever medications they want and hire a team of doctors to monitor them and keep them safe while abusing them to be the happiest people ever.

And they're buying a 12th yacht and another castle instead? Lame.

If like a nice stick too.

This,

It is the joke at the end of all the human suffering and destruction of the planet.

It is done so a few people can live like gods.

And they are fucking miserable.

... all because they don't have sticks?

Fucking idiots.

They can buy billions of sticks, but they'd be useless, because they didn't get them the right way. I myself would not appreciate a stick that I bought regardless of how much money it cost.

Once you understand this, you can also find rocks and seashells worth more than trillions of money.

So you can argue about the quality and/or sentimental value of ownership of sticks, but that's also not the point.

It's your own appreciation of the stick that makes it valuable. You can not get that, unless you just get it.

Can't buy it, can't sell it, can't even give it away, but it exists and you get it. It is real.

I have a lot of shit. I also have a piece of cardboard shaped like a fish that I appreciate. On my deathbed I will not ask to touch my latest car or the cobber stringed guitars. I'll ask for the cardboard that I value the most, because it was gifted to me. And that's just sentimental value.

A good stick is even beyond that. My appreciation of a good stick is such that I cannot even claim to own it. It's not sentimental value or ownership or history or quality. A proper good stick is one that you want to pass on.

I have a bunch of them, so theoretically I'm the richest man alive. At least currently, because like I just said, they don't really belong to me. I have to give them away to realize the value of the asset. Just like stocks and money.

For the dog happiness comes from within.

For the billionaire happiness comes from making certain amounts of money.

Be the dog.

Drops Kong toy filled with peanut butter smothered dog treats and carrots in front of dog with stick...

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I tried a Kong toy with my dog & he was not impressed. "WTF is this nonsense? Just give me the treats!" To be fair, he wasn't into sticks either.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

My parents had a large Catahoula mix who figured out how to step on the Kong toy and squish the treats out…

One jet and 12 yachts is totally out of balance. Cut one side of the stick off and the dog will be grumpy, too.

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Oooh new and different stick! Yay!
