i looked it up and r/gooncave is a where people show pictures of creepy multi-monitor setups for looking at porn, and also pics/videos of themselves jerking off to porn. they also seem to be into, like, just doing nothing but jerkin and looking at porn for days at a time. they call this 'gooning' now we all know. to those of you who knew and were all coy for some erason, that poo poo's weak

this reminds of a breathless announcement i read once about a research breakthrough: "scientists create an ai that's as smart as a fourth-grader" the actual content was about a new ai that was dumber than a fifth-grader

also the people who can afford it are the ones who are in the club already and got the advance notice that tech was going to tank unlike mr yes man here who has their entire lifetime earnings tied up in their own companies stock.

yummycheese posted:lotta range in that 1% income bracket lol yeah probably hovering right around 99% household income ($570k), somewhere around 95% household net worth ($2.6M) the real answer to the dude's question is that there's a whole lot of generational wealth out there, which is why it's hard to imagine ever getting to 99% net worth ($11.1M) on that 99% salary. that's across like 125 million households, by the way, so that's way over a million households just in the us with net worths over $10M. the overall impact from like five hundred faang vps is nothing compared to generations of descendants of like some dude who owned a store during the gold rush EDIT: i misremembered op as having $3.5M not $2.5M, so he's 95th percentile, not 96th rjmccall fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Nov 21, 2022 |

the way property is taxed in CA is one of the real drivers of the luxury home market. When you make 500k selling your home, if you take that profit and buy a NEW home with it, you dont pay capital gains on it. So obviously that makes it incredibly attractive to keep buying fancier and fancier houses.
