I could never imagine being that arrogant, autistic, and gay, but I guess there's an ugliness/IQ threshold for that. becoming insanely wealthy requires sacrificing your humanity and anything intimate you hold dear. do you want that? people do it for only a few million dollars, but it's a high enough of a threshold to drive most normal human beings away from it. the entire point of capitalism is to grind all essential aspects of your being into nothing so that you can become an automaton. it's a vile and soulless ideology that only the most disgustingly competent people are capable of embracing to its fullest extent. and this is our utopia. nothing is wrong with it. history ended decades ago. lmao.

And I always have been, since I was 12. I can keep going and going for hours on end and still get hard and shoot loads over and over again. If someone were willing to pay me $500 an hour to do that I would definitely do it at least 90 hours a week for at least a decade or more, probably for 50 years if they kept paying me that much and I could still do it in my 70s. I wouldn't do it because of the money or because it made me famous or impressed anyone else. But it's what I would've wanted to do anyway for like 50 hours a week if I had no responsibilities or obligations of any kind and was totally free, and now I'm making $2M a year doing it.

Date: February 15th, 2019 3:08 PM Author: avocado step-uncle's house Of course you need to work hard, but it’s not possible for people to work for 18 hours with any sort of regularity unless we’re skewing the definition of what it means to work. They are self-interested in exaggerating their abilities. See Bezos’ recently revealed texts that were completely at odds with his public persona.
I also think these memes are perpetuated by GC to have wagecucking schlubs “work hard” in the service of some elite who sees the returns on that hard work that very day while you may or may not see commensurate returns until 5 or 10 years if ever. |

no one thinks zuck, bezos or musk is sitting on a computer coding for 18 hours a day like they used to. if you argument is that billionaires working hard is "flame" because your definition of work is narrow, then your premise was flawed from the get-go. |

Date: February 15th, 2019 5:36 PM Author: avocado step-uncle's house Ljl, no, playing golf isn’t work. Neither is answering emails from your private jet, or sitting atop your $10k couch reviewing an agreement while Esmeralda cleans around you. And LJL, yeah I’m sure it’s stressful when you (and the 10 generations after yours) will never have to worry about money. Pretty sure work for the schlub is a little more stressful given what losing his job might mean for him.
No one may think that these billionaires are coding all day, but plenty of coders are working all day in the hopes of achieving outcomes .1% as good as these, when factors outside of their control have already established their ceiling. And on down until Hector the janitor. Cohen is benefiting from their hard work, and he is benefiting immediately, while these people may or may not ever see anything for their hard work.

There were tens of thousands (maybe even a few million) guys out their who had similar ideas as Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg and worked just as hard. None of them are billionaires.
