What's almost worse than no pockets are those stupid loving pockets that are too small to actually be useful.

GIVE ME MORE POCKETS, PATRIARCHY For my job, I needed plain black dress slacks because of the dress code. None of the women's departments in the stores I went to had what I needed. There were plenty of black pants, but virtually no pockets, flimsy stitching or had designs on them. My fiance ended up taking me to one of the men's stores he goes to when he needs something dressy. Not only did I find the slacks, they're sturdy, have good pockets which I need when I have a walkie-talkie, and I know what size I take in a men's so if I need another pair, I can go to any men's store. It was the first time that I can remember in a long time where clothes shopping was a positive experience. Talking with the clerk who helped me, he said it's not unusual at all for women to come in looking for clothes for themselves. So, like I've been buying men's razors for shaving since they're cheaper, now I'll just head to the men's store for when I need something work dressy.

Can you imagine if poor people started Spartacus'ing pedophiles? Their neighbors would drag them from their houses and torture them to death. It's a shame the wealthy have class solidarity.

It's a shame the wealthy have class solidarity. When I was younger, we used to chase around the local sexual predator. Chased after one teenage boy but, boy, did he run like hell from six of us. The cops told us to knock it off after he started booking it into the closest business and hiding behind the counter every time. Hardee's kitchen staff knew what was up, they'd chase him right back out again. Fucker finally hung himself, oh well. Defo a young man's game.

Tubgoat posted:They are excellent dice bags and you can often get them for free from liquor stores by asking. I do, and I give them away to folks who don't yet have dice bags (Magic: The Gathering, usually). Epstein's "services" weren't used because the rich are 100% pedophiles, they're probably like 33% pedophiles (estimated.) and the rest use it as mutually assured destruction blackmail. Nobody talks or you're outed as a kiddie-diddler along with billionaires with armies of hitmen. That's not solidarity, if Bezos could kill Gates right now without it getting back to him he'd do it in a second, same as basically anyone up to and including his family. I'm not exaggerating, wealth either creates or requires psychopathy. An army of comrades can have way more common interests between themselves than can an army of psychopaths constantly trying to cannibalize each other. As long as we figure out circular firing squads or what the gently caress we're doing. The first is solidarity, the second is dependence.

I love seeing people try to describe wealthy people. It's like listening to my nephew try to describe space to me. Just tons of made up stories and ideas that make sense to him, but are in no way true or accurate. I know a lot of rich people. Some of them are absolutely horrible dipshits, but the vast majority of them are just regular people. hosed up, I know.

I don't work with any directly, but I have met with a few that have in the hundreds of millions. My point is that I've kinda ran the gamut through nearly all the classes and can tell you that the amount of assholes is pretty consistent through all of them. Most people are pretty nice and then you get the few outliers that are absolute dickholes or super awesome.

Echoing tubgirl, the people you know are, at best, the petite bourgeois who will be the first dead once things break down. Too rich to have a shred of humanity left, too poor to own rape islands or bunkers. Always judge someone by how they treat fast food workers, waitstaff, and poor immigrants. e: never mind, you're hopeless

They can be individually nice and personable, but hoarding hundreds of millions of dollars away is the *reason* they’re bad people. There’s a threshold where the amount of money you have control over tips over from “doing well for yourself” into “obscene.”

There's definitely a point of "OK, you can stop now" when it comes to wealth. Generally speaking a typical working person will earn somewhere like $1 million to $4 million over their entire lives. If you have $2 million in cash left over after taxes from some thing or another that's more than enough to live rather comfortably for however long you're going to stay kicking even if it's 50 more years. Once it gets into the hundreds of millions it's like yeah, you're just being greedy now.

I mean I can't argue that. And all that wealth could be going to do better things than sitting around like a dragon hoard, agreed. I'm just saying they're still people. Line them up for the revolution that's never going to happen or whatever, but they are still people even though you don't like them.  But it makes sense to dehumanize the people you've decided to hate. It's probably the oldest type of propaganda in human existence.

They are people, which should make them capable of understanding that they are hurting people. They are apparently incapable of that, so it's up to other people to correct that. E: Wait, this isn't the capitalism thread? Sorry for the derail then.
