memes

Why is no one asking about the bus with no wheels?!

If I had that kind of money, I'd buy ruined, exploited land just to restore it; regrow a clearcut forest for instance. Then just give it back to the native tribe who lived there centuries ago. I have always wished I could do that.

Notice the implied and unquestioned assumption that “life goals” means accumulating resources and not building relationships or contributing to society. In fact, it’s expected that personal relationships and societal responsibilities shall be neglected in the quest for resources.

I'd have so many friends if I had a Lamborghini bus 🤔

A lot of people I've seen in Lamborghini cars aren't serious about their lives. They're spoiled idiots who lucked out and got a ton of money handed to them and are driving it around to show off how much money they have as if they deserved it.

You will lose my friendship when you waste a bunch of money on a lambo.

It's also a weight decision. If you bring five American friends along, you just doubled the weight of the car.

I dunno, the bus I drive costs more than double what that car costs.

People who are serious about life value long term benefit over short term material goods. Public transportation is a public good for all and in the long term will save you a ton of money.

I listened to a really interesting podcast the other day about how the current online alpha male culture, the kind we see propagated by Andrew Tate and co, actually emphasizes an incredibly lonely existence. It’s almost hermitical. Whereas masculinity in the 80’s up through the 2000’s or so was about getting rich, partying in incredibly conspicuous ways, and getting laid all the time.

This lambo meme (first part) falls right in line with the Tate mentality for sure. There are people who read that and go “yes, that sounds great.”

If you need a meme to feel good about your decisions, then maybe make better decisions.

man, those guilt coping posts. maybe just do the right thing, so you don't need to make up bullshit to feel good

I fucking hate people that act like they escaped the matrix because they drive a personally owned vehicle.

Like wow you're really showing us public transit welfare queens what true independence looks like, gripping a steering wheel in a vehicle they can only legally operate with a government-issued license, on a road built and maintained by the government, cleared of snow by government workers driving government-owned trucks, fueled by government-subsidized oil, and parked in government-funded lots. Let’s not forget they had to go to a government building, talk to a government employee, and pay a government fee just for the privilege of registering their car — which they’re also legally required by the government to insure. And after all that bureaucratic red tape and recurring fees, they have the audacity to act like they're the icons of self-sufficiency. The cherry on top? If their precious symbol of ‘independence’ breaks down, the government isn’t going to help — they get to shoulder the repair costs entirely on their own.

Meanwhile, I swipe a card once a month and get access to a system that moves people efficiently, doesn’t ask for my blood type, and doesn’t require me to pour thousands into maintenance and paperwork — and I’m the one supposedly suckling at the teat of Big Government?

Ok.

I wonder which one is more expensive, a new Lamborghini or a new bus.
