Nah it was right.

More money will for sure solve my problems. Let's see:

No job - Fixed as I wouldn't need one.
No GF - Even if a gold digger I'd pay for it.
No kids - I'm sure with the above that'll happen

I have money, and it's pretty great.

Doesnt bring my mom back.
Doesnt make my dad less of a sack of shit
Dosent cure my illness
Doesnt make the only man I can tolerate any less of an petulant asshole

Solves a lot of problems, sure, but the worst ones are usually the ones money cant fix. Not having other lesser shit to worry about means you just get to dwell on the worst of it more.

Money doesn't solve all your issues but it solves a lot of them and can be used to get help for the rest

Similarly, the mandela effect is not real

It was a shitty party though.

So how close do you have to be? Like have worked on it? Boxed it? Worked at the grocery store that sold it? Ate it?

How come not one of those people are like THIS SHIT WAS REAL.

When the universes collide or whatever shit you say, it affects everybody who ever worked on that product?

There was never a genie movie with Sinbad. There was a genie movie with Shaq.

Also, First Kid, starring Sinbad came out the same summer as Kazaam.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Kid

It's very VERY easy to see how 25 years later people who were small kids when these movies came out would mix them up.

Why can't large numbers of people misremember something? It's clearly happening. And, hell, mass hysteria is a thing afterall. And, again, human memory, not the most reliable thing in the world. And considering the prevelance of harmful gases in the environment and microplastics penetrating our brains, these mass hyseria events are probably only to get worse.

I swear it was Berenst<u>e</u>in Bears!

And that Sinbad Genie movie was real!!!!

The Mandela Effect is the dumbest thing ever. "oh I misremembered this thing. the reason isn't that human memory is extremely faulty. the reason is I live in Rick & Morty."

It took me awhile to realize that linkpizza must really dislike his mom. First, he thinks her legal name is mom and second, he has no issue with all the jokes about her. She should be very proud of him.

Not sure why people are having trouble here. Even people who don't have friends but have the desire for it will set up their place to be company friendly. So it just makes you look like somebody who doesn't want to socialize, which is fine for you, but probably not a partner.

I'd love to see a Venn diagram of posters in this topic who think there's absolutely nothing wrong with that picture and posters in this topic who have never had a long term relationship

I dont think so. My ex who was completely unorganized always made sure her place was furnished. Even like wall decor.

I really have never met a woman that lives like this. All the chicks I know have their shit furnished.

I don't know what the point of the first paragraph is. If you think that not having furniture isn't a red flag, why are you carving out a bunch of scenarios where people temporarily don't have furniture? I don't think anyone is arguing that it's a red flag to e.g. have just moved cross country and be in the process of furnishing your apartment.

Also when it comes to any red flags for dating, yeah if they're happy the way they are then so be it. But that person shouldn't be shocked if people don't want to date them. This holds for any personality trait that some people consider a red flag.

While we're making up stuff we can't see in the picture let's assume he's got a Lambo in the driveway and his own personal helicopter pad. No idea why y'all are trying to move the goalposts here. Justify away, doesn't change that this is a red flag

I don't care. They're entertainers. Their job is to dance for us and keep us amused. Their personal beliefs don't mean squat to me.

Just because it works for him does not mean it works for them. Y'all jumping thru hoops to try to make it look like this picture is somehow supposed to be acceptable when dude doesn't even have space for a girlfriend to sit, assuming she wanted to chill in a practically empty apartment and watch him game.

I'm not trying to say this is a deal breaker or incel behavior or anything like that. You can absolutely live like this and have a full, active life but from the outside looking in this is absolutely a red flag

The guy could very well have folding chairs and card tables tucked away somewhere. It's not a very big space.

It's a red flag but not for the reason most of y'all are thinking. If all you own is 1 chair and a bunch of gaming equipment it means:

A) You have no one in your life you're willing to let visit you at home OR no one is willing to visit you at home

and

B) Your only priority in your personal life is your hobbies

Both are pretty not great in a potential partner. Like there's not being materialistic/being minimalist and then there's just flat out not caring about having real people in your life and the picture in OP is definitely the latter.

Money cannot solve all problems.

It can, however, solve many. Things like being able to pay bills, make rent, and afford basic necessities are a big source of stress for the middle class and below. Also when life events occur like a vehicle breaking down, house damage, sudden hospitalization, money is usually the biggest barrier to a solution.

Not to mention it can acts as a supplement or opening to the real solution for other problems. An an example, it is hard to go on a vacation and de-stress without the funds to support it.

I'm fine with you buying me a house as well, I promise it won't affect our friendship:)

Yeah, same. I would buy a house for close family members, namely my mother and siblings (if finanically able to of course), but for friends and stuff, its just too much.

Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't turn it down, either. :)

Yeah, I vaguely remember watching a show about UK lottery winners, and how it affected their lives. This one guy got so much he bought all his friends a house each, which ending up alienating them in the end. I mean, they were happy at first, and accepted it but its a big thing to owe someone I guess, it's naturally going to a drive a wedge into the relationship.

Money can solve problems and buy happiness, but it can also be used to CAUSE problems for others and make them miserable.

In the end humans suck over all and use money to cause more problems then they solve, so money itself isn't evil, the people who spend it are.

what a fucking stupid take

good luck buying a new car with thoughts and prayers.

Money can solve your financial problems by providing financial security but it doesn't solve all of our problems because there have been people with gobs of money who died because even though they had the money to get the best medical care in the world, it just wasn't meant to be.

Money can land you some hot dates but that doesn't mean it'll last and with money you never know if people are friends with you because they like your or because they know you have the money.

As the old saying goes more money more problems.

Money is a hygiene factor. Its like eating healthy, brushing your teeth, exercising, etc.

iirc, the benefits of more money start to plateau around an anual income of 80,000 USD (though this was pre-pandemic inflation). If you're below 80k then more money will likely fix a crap ton of your problems.

No. They have actual name's like Karen and Carol.

Don't Facebookers upload every minute detail of their life every day, so you can track them automatically?

Mom jokes are only funny if you use the mom's actual name.

That's the ultimate caveat. If you actually study world history, you'd understand that money (accumulation/hoarding of wealth/knowledge, greed) is actually the cause of problems you think throwing money at will solve. You can't solve a problem using the cause.

Money can't buy happiness. But it can buy a jet-ski. Have you ever seen someone unhappy with a jet-ski?

In all seriousness, while money can't buy happiness, it can alleviate a LOT of the sources of unhappiness and stress. Namely things like being unable to pay bills and other debts and being able to safely afford food. Once those sorts of things are taken care of it eliminates a BUNCH of stress and allows people to actually do the things they want to do to make them happy. I mean, how many people pray to God specifically because they need money or else they need to pay back their landlord with their thumbs or something?

Pretty much. Money may not be able to buy happiness, but it can buy solutions to a lot of problems that cause very significant unhappiness.

Money can't uneuthanize my cat.

Money would legit solve my problems.

People who say that just dont have enough money.

money cant buy happiness btw

yes it can lol only people who say that are depressed billionaires

If money could solve all problems, the world would be problem free but it isn't.

Money is one of those things where after you have a certain amount it cant solve any problems that still remain.

However if you dont have money, many of your problems are directly related to it. How can I pay for this thing I need can absolutely be solved by having enough money.

Money wouldnt solve all my problems but it would solve some of the ones preventing me from seeking happiness.

It is right?

So far those ranged from interesting, to WTF is this synergy...

Anyone know when the earliest Dusk stone is available?

This is it. There was a new mechanic introduced since Sword & Shield (I think) that drastically reduces the catch rate of Pokemon that are at a higher level than your team.

Hell no. Dont go to a chicken restaurant if you dont want chicken.

That will not do well.

I mean they have real sex machines you can buy, with adaptors for guys.

If she does move in, split the utilities 3 ways after that (have a discussion about it) and be happy for him.

It could have, comics, books, movies or whatever else besides the 1 game.

A franchise has multiple entries, it just does not need to be limited to a single medium.

Didnt you have a similar situation with roommates years ago?

I feel like Ive never seen a single story about living with someone that makes it sound appealing.
