Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Even if this was correct (see the comments about how it really isn't), it wouldn't matter much since he was still right.
And $10 million isn't really that much, it's still at the level where you have to budget income and expenses and money is tangible. The 1% of the 1% are the ones who are past that and leverage power with their worth, it's no longer about whether or not they can afford anything.
years ago ten mil would have been big but around me their are over a million dollar houses and they are not exactly mansions.
class solidarity from Carlin; yet OP is a solidarity backstabber
We have seen a lot of this weird sentiment...
Brian Thompson is a working class hero
Luigi is a elite
Carlin is part of the of the club because he died with boomer type money...
He was rich but he didn't control the capital nor did he shill the ruling class propaganda
$10 million is chump change on the scales we're talking about.
The top 1% earn 650,000 a year. George Carlin doing standup for 50 years he would have earned 200,000 a year if you split that up equally over his career, and then there is the 21 years prior to his standup career.
