I find the cooking one weird, because the food you cook for yourself is usually the best. I know exactly how cheesy I like my pasta sauce, and how big I like the chunks of chicken sliced in my curry, and what ratio of spices I like in my fajitas. I'm not even that good a cook. I can't imagine having enough money to want to stop doing that.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

But how are you supposed to enjoy that food without an obsequious NPC to cut your steak for you? Is it even eating without an envious audience?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The food at the really fancy restaurants is really fucking good. I'm a pretty good cook and baker, and if all my time was taken up with something that pulled in over $1MM a year, you bet your ass I'd sup at such schmancy-ass establishments ... for a few years until I can just retire, then start cooking again with all that knowledge under my belt.

You might not be that good a cook by your own admission, but some people can't cook at all. They just never learned it, and they'll just burn the food.

Imagine you have a private chef who makes your dishes exactly how you would do it for yourself, in your own home. I like cooking, I’m fairly good at it, but this would be a hard option to beat

I'm just pretending to be poor and didn't lose it all on Tesla futures.

"I like pretending to be poor just like the little people I step on to attain my wealth. It's a great change of pace!"

Rich people will steal anything.

"whisper networks of power players" doesn't set any alarm bells off for you? When you see something like that happening, you don't think, even for one second, "everyone in this room should become a fine pink mist very quickly." You don't think that?? You just go along with it and try to get some power for yourself?

PATHETIC

I just checked LinkedIn. She's a real person and this is a real post and there are 83 other real comments from her contacts agreeing with her and praising her. WTF.

Damn imagine flying economy. With the peasants /s

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Probably flew premium economy. Or at the very least, still got priority boarding with mileage status.

Nice. I’ve been planning for an extended period of being homeless, starving, and working on my interpersonal skills by relying on strangers for basic needs.

Oh, wait, not planning, I meant bracing. Silly me.

No one should have this privilege to begin with. Society should work to create a livable experience for everyone instead of constantly making comfort and stability an exclusive club.

I mean, getting rich people to reduce their waste output isn’t the worst thing in the world.

Definitely better than the “wE aLl HaVe ThE sAmE 24 hOuRs” hustle grindset nobody-wants-to-work bullshit.

If she is rich, she ain't doing it

She is likely though just a normie cosplaying being in the club

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

The we all have the same 24 hours thing is so true! From a different angle though

Some of us need to take care of children, or perhaps elders. Cook food. Commute to work and back while the boss has home office privileges because he "works so hard".

We all have the same 24 hours, but some of us have obligations we can't offload, or aren't rich enough to offload.

Crazy, when I want to be grounded I just connect myself to the ground pin on my socket.

No.. I am not joking sadly https://groundingofficial.com/

This would be a lot more meaningful if she did that old trope and straight-up switched places with someone for the day. Eat what they would've eaten, travel how and where they would have traveled, stay where they would have stayed, and have the same amount of daily spending money they would normally have had (and if that number's zero, welp, guess it's good she's such a hard worker. I'm sure she she'll be fine.)

Dear Ms. Mah,
It's nice to want to understand what it's like to be a poor person, but you know what would actually help poor people? Sharing a bit of that excess you clearly enjoy. Come back and brag after you do a bit of that, then maybe we could talk.

Sincerely,
Economy-flying, home-cooking, subway riders.
