It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Imagine spending 25 THOUSAND DOLLARS and not realizing because it didn't impact your quality of life or housing or ability to obtain food
That's over 2k a month. I don't even make that much. :|
Preach.
And what we do is probably 10,000x more important to humanity than whatever the fuck this ghoul does
Oh no lol I'm a video game tester for a game which is in open beta. Maybe your job is important for the both of us.
I don't know what the guy in this pic does but I already know your job is more important
We can go a lot lower than that haha
It doesn't have to be that many times more important as much as it should not be a net negative, such as a hedge fund manager.
A starbucks barista would be 1000 times more valuable to peoples lives than whatever shit this person could possibly be doing
people like coffee and someone has to make it, making coffee is good and based
Multiplying zero results in zero, yeah.
EDIT:
As someone else said already, I was talking about the linked person with the humblebragging about (probably inherited/connected) wealth.
Service workers provide infinitely more value than failson scions.
are you saying service work has zero value?

ahh gotcha, I confused myself :)
It was a good clarification to ask of me; I'd feel horrible if it seemed like I was going Hazbrained and badmouthing service workers.
I think it was meant to be a humblebrag. "Oh oopsie I did a fucky wucky and flexed my dad's boat dealership credit line!"
I'm middle class, and I think it's stupid and wasteful.
