Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

The sad thing? Even millionaires arent safe. Its not unheard of cancer treatments draining life savings of millions in just a few years...

I knew a guy who was a CEO of a health care company in the 90s, and retired a millionaire. Then his wife got sick, and her health care costs drained their savings. She died anyway, and he had to go back to work as a regular old sales guy. That's where I met him.

Can’t find it in myself to feel bad for him (too bad for her though)
