  • i had an HR person who kept saying their "wages are competative" as if that was something to brag about. you are saying you pay the lowest possible pay that still brings in employee. loved leaving that job after a decade, told that HR person to go fuck herself when she tried to talk to me my last day.

  • A lot of it has to do with an inflated view of one's self and persecusion complex. Studies have shown that the more conservative one is the better off one thinks they will be. When the whole inheritance tax was being talked about all these poor conservtives thought some day they will be so well off the tax would affect them when in reality their lifetime gross income wouldn't be enough if they saved it all. The whole "work hard and you will get everything" idea is burned into their brains inspite of reality.

    When you then look at any achievement by these same people they make it out to be some crazy effort on their side. All hardships were the extreme and targeting them, in their warped view. They don't realize their struggles were the same as everyone else and they were helped out in many ways that no one ever picks themselves up by their bootstraps.

    So they have this "my life was the worst" and "i pulled myself up with no help" view of their lives that everyone else is just shit. In reality they are so delusional that even common decency is forign to them. Pile on that many are Christians if poor and narcissist and sociopaths if rich the complex grow many fold.

  • The sad thing about the pandemic and the shift in the political scene is that waaaaay too many people are shitty this way. Not just rich people either. Being a shit human being has gone viral.

  • there are also people who make their living by following rich people to get them to fund projects. I read about construction companies that would follow Trump around and have people slip him ideas so he felt he was this amazing business man. All the politicians are following this method.

    You know that people do this with Elon and any other rich person. Stroke the king's ego by pretenting it was all their idea and get rich off of it.

  • As an 80s kid who saw the originals at way too young of an age by renting the VHS next to Critters and The Garbage Pail Kids, this movie was not too bad of a remake. Yeah its a little toned down but i think it was just the right amount of campy. All the little off screen comments were great. Toxie was the character to reboot that no one would care about enough to say this ruined childhood memories.

  • It also works when you just don't have time to be sad about the shittiness of your situation. Haven't had friends in years but i do have obligations that keep me so busy I don't have room for feeling bad about it.
