I wasn’t necessarily suggesting to move there, more suggesting to considerate and propose Canada starts annexing parts of the west coast.
I don’t want to move, I’d rather have my state leave the union and form one with Canada.
I realize this is way less realistic than emigration, but this is mostly just a fantasy. I love Canada and it’s culture, and I think the Pacific Northwest would fit right in.
What if we want to come up and join you in this sentiment?
I have stayed at my share of 2k+ hotels and I can promise you not everyone at these is rich. It filters yes, but there are definitely aspiring people who aren’t good with their money there too.
That’s a fair take, vacations are for sure a place where the rich splurge, but at those status type hotels you will also find a lot of not rich but affluent folks as well so it’s harder to be sure just because you’re there that you’re interacting with a truly wealthy person.
High Earning Not Rich Yet
A lot of rich people actually try to live a normal looking life. Stealth wealth, and you might never find them until you get invited to their house.
Their house will be nicer than average, probably not crazy, but just a lot more than a typical person would have. They will have things like fancy light fixtures and switches that don’t look totally normal, the furniture will look normal but if you look closer you’ll only find high quality wood construction, tongue and groove, etc. You should also notice things are probably cleaner than a typical house (because regular house cleaner), everything works, and major appliances are newer generally. They are rich so they don’t have to make any budget trade offs.
These people might have insane net worth and they are trying to down play it because they know how bad it is for them when they are obviously wealthy for so many reasons.
Ostentatious wealth signals are usually sign of a HENRY or a striver, those people typically aren’t actually wealthy they have a lot of debt.
Idk man, the first comment I made here got assaulted with hatred. It’s been fine since then but it definitely had me worried.
He’s going to be a martyr even if the blood clot gets him. It will get spun somehow.
Late 40s, reason was I don’t like when social media agrees to work with fascists, so I looked for an alternative and was happy to find this place where it feels a lot more like earlier days internet.
I mean, duh?
It’s going to get worse for sure, but in the US I expect this to have an upper bound of pain given how much oil we produce domestically. That doesn’t make us immune, but it should give some limits to the pain.
Not that I think this is ok or anything, just gives me some small hope that the bread lines might take longer to get to.
I’ve seen a lot of violence posts coming from non us users. It seems there’s some kind of effort to incite the us into violence going on and I don’t like it one bit.
I feel this. I stopped using almost all social media except pie fed (if you can call pie fed social media). This makes me part of the disappearing voices elsewhere, I used to be pretty active elsewhere.
That sounds about right, I’ve definitely found a number of them in sales. They tend to have a talent for sales because of the lack of morality and the insane charm.
If they try to ingratiate themselves too aggressively, if they make way too good eye contact and smile so big and are effusively positive, and they make the hairs on the back of my neck crawl, I know it’s highly likely I’m interacting with a sociopath or psychopath.
Everyone that’s normal has a chance to be good or evil and it changes over time.
If the person hits the trigger points above though I know they aren’t going to be a stable actor to deal with because they will lack empathy, be utterly self serving, and never feel guilt for their actions.
I’ve encountered quite a few of these people in my years and they often are in positions of authority because they are really good at fooling and manipulating people.
I don’t know if this is good or bad but I definitely try to avoid or at least ring fence people like this when I encounter them.
Those who didn’t vote and those who voted for Trump have Minnesota blood on their hands.
Glad I left Reddit, yes it was very recently, but I’m pretty happy with what’s going on here!
Fair enough, I get the boundaries.
