Oh noooooo

So does anyone have any good recipes for muffins I've been in a muffin mood lately

[–] Xyphius@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 minutes ago

Oh me too. I tried doing some oatmeal blueberry muffins from random recipes online, but the muffin tops feel too small for my liking. ended up more like cupcakes.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Just keep trying penis surgeons. You'll get it right one of these days.

I don't get it. If you are a billionaire, you'd have women (or men, whatever you like) throwing themselves at your junk. Why take the risk? You won at life, just enjoy banging everything that moves my dude. You could have a micro penis and still have people begging to do ungodly perverted things to it if you have that kind of money. Never satisfied I guess.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 15 points 6 hours ago

Because gender affirming care, or rather needing it, is so strong.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Billionaires are as insecure and self centered as anyone. Part of the problem really and why rich people should be paying more taxes.

[–] dancroissant@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

It's because a normal person would hit a few tens of millions and call it a day, retire, spend time with their family. The internal drive that creates a billionaire also prevents them from ever being happy or satisfied in any meaningful way. I think it's similar to how a psychopath is incapable of empathy, it's pathological.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Because when you have so much, any and every hit to the ego feels that much worse, and the concept that something could exist that can't be fixed by throwing money at it seems impossible.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I have a theory that very few, if any, of these people are happy.

Its easier to accept our crappy hamster bodies when we dont have enough money to think we can change that reality

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 hours ago

billionaires are not like us, just like psychopaths are not like us. I wonder if they even have souls if souls exist.. probably exchanged it for money.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 28 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Guess this needs to be updated?

Moisés Saba Masri: A prominent Mexican billionaire businessman, his wife, son, and daughter-in-law, along with the pilot, died in a helicopter crash in heavy fog on the outskirts of Mexico City in January 2010. The helicopter's tail reportedly hit a house and its blades struck a tree.

Why aren't the surgeons being paraded like luigi.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Ok I read it. Here's the basics. Dude had a heart problem and an ulcer. He goes to this clinic a couple times a year for injections. This time he suffered abdominal pain and told the surgeons to call medical services. They did but it seemed like it was probably the ulcer so no one was dispatched. He tells them to proceed. Later he suffered a heart attack and emergency services are contacted again. An autopsy revealed it was not related to the procedure but rather to a chronic condition and drugs he was taking. The surgeons were punished because they were not licensed to practice in France despite doing it for a couple of decades.

Still in my humble opinion the timing seems sus.
