a lunatic? completely. but this is almost a valuable message to break through to that echo chamber.
Flying economy just for fun?
It is just her humble bragging about being rich by cosplaying as a regular person.
yeah, it’s ridiculous - but the core messaging is “money insulates you from reality” and that’s something these people need to hear.
She “launched her first six-figure business in middle school” aka. has rich parents and never knew anything she is talking about here
Every “independently” wealthy person under 35 on the Internet.
Step 1, have lavishly rich parents
Step 2, use parents money and business networks to make money
Step 3, brag about being humble while also flaunting your wealth.
“I made this all myself. If I can do it, anybody could do it”
If I wanted to see someone bragging about their accomplishments, I’d just look at this:
I’d even posit that this otter has contributed more to society than anybody on Linkedin.
the otter pup has contributed more to the universe by simply existing
I don’t think it’s restricted to under 35 and on the internet. I know a 40 something year old that says shit like “my wife and I are so independent and good with our money, we don’t get any handouts. The only gift we get is that her parents pay off our credit cards every Christmas” unironically.
Rich people are so fucking out of touch.
Lol, fair enough. It’s basically impossible nowadays to be comfortable without a little help, even if it’s just systemic in nature.
I’m in my mid-late 30s and doing really well compared to most of the people in my age bracket mostly out of dumb luck and because my dad was in the military.
During the last housing market scare I was able to buy a run down abandoned house for 35k after qualifying for a loan through USAA that I really shouldn’t have ever been approved for. Just stupid little things like that can really make a huge difference in the long run.
No they need to feel it by taking away their wealth
How are you going to do that? Ask politely?
I hear whispers of cannibalism from these types occasionally.
I know a good pork bolognaise recipe that feeds like 50.
By preference using state mechanisms or idk some kind of people’s tribunal. Future bleak as fuck so at a certain point enough people will be okay with either
There is a high enough quantity of millionaire/billionaire simps who can prevent this from proceeding by protecting those pieces of trash that this will likely never happen in your lifetime.
Ok well lets just drown in shit then, never mind any historical precedences at all (even only a few years back up until today).
You are pretty much one of those simps right now, you are defending the statues quo.
Luigi style 👍
i will be asking politely, however i cannot speak for what my friends with clubs might or might not do.
You’ll never live like Common People
It is just her humble bragging about being rich by cosplaying as a regular person.
Pretending to be rich yet grounded while actually being neither.
No leg room and screaming children just for giggles 🤭 hehehe
That’s pretty much what I was thinking. Wish we poor plebs could vosplay as rich without maxing out ourncredit cards for life.
Not really. It’s more an attempt to prove that rich people and poor people are vibing together so the poors don’t revolt.
This is on par with the Greek stoics, idle rich fuckers who would deprive themselves of luxuries “for a while” … and then congratulate themselves for that deprivation when they got back to doing their regular idle rich fucker shit.
quietly nudges an old tent and sleeping bags out of sight
Yeah who would want to deprive themselves of luxuries for awhile, and then reminisce about the experience later!?
😐
There’s a difference between that and thinking you’re on to a philosophical secret while being blind to the all the time living conditions of almost every human being.
Oh, I totally agree! My comment was mainly being facetious
Hard to tell sometimes, what with this being The Internet.
Came here for this cover of this song.
Holy shit I did not remember this version! Glorious, thank you!
This reads like she was living outside of her means and recently was forced to return to her financial reality, and is framing it as a choice she made lol
So they’re unemployed and pretending that they’re just trying to ground themselves.
Might have just been demoted for incompetency
Either that or she’s an actual rich person and just cosplaying being poor because there’s a lot of rich fucks who like to backpat themselves for their “asceticism”.
“I want to live like common people. I want to do whatever common people do.”
“Garcon? I’d like one of your… Big Mac burger meals, medium rare please. If you have truffles, please include them on the side. Also my chosen table by the window seems to be occupied. Please chase them away. Thank you.”

And in an instance, my brain was turned in to PulpThe William Shatner version of this is really good. Really spits out the “poor is cool” part
I find the cooking one weird, because the food you cook for yourself is usually the best. I know exactly how cheesy I like my pasta sauce, and how big I like the chunks of chicken sliced in my curry, and what ratio of spices I like in my fajitas. I’m not even that good a cook. I can’t imagine having enough money to want to stop doing that.
But how are you supposed to enjoy that food without an obsequious NPC to cut your steak for you? Is it even eating without an envious audience?
The food at the really fancy restaurants is really fucking good. I’m a pretty good cook and baker, and if all my time was taken up with something that pulled in over $1MM a year, you bet your ass I’d sup at such schmancy-ass establishments … for a few years until I can just retire, then start cooking again with all that knowledge under my belt.
Yeah but also these people can just hire a private chef to get both at the same time
I’m not paying for a private chef to dine with me, then have all the fun cooking while I’m taking time to enjoy my life.
I’d probably just give ridiculous tips to the places that I already go to. But eh, to each their own.
You might not be that good a cook by your own admission, but some people can’t cook at all. They just never learned it, and they’ll just burn the food.
I had a coworker who could only cook chicken. The only way she knew how to cook it was boiling it in a saucepan on high heat for about two hours, like her mom did. No salt, no pepper, no seasoning at all.
Imagine you have a private chef who makes your dishes exactly how you would do it for yourself, in your own home. I like cooking, I’m fairly good at it, but this would be a hard option to beat
I’ve gotten depressed enough (and my kitchen at my new place is very shit) that I don’t cook that much for myself anymore. My wife still keeps it up sometimes and understands that I hate our closed off kitchen. Also, it’s a simple walk down the street to a food truck or a 2 min car ride to get fun instant ramen then I can make a soft boiled egg.
The money is comfortable but I want to cook more again. I miss it.
“I like pretending to be poor just like the little people I step on to attain my wealth. It’s a great change of pace!”
sometimes i like to strap 4 prosthetic legs to my hips and carry around pine needles in a pair of tweezers, after which i pour molten aluminum into an ant nest
Who the fuck flies economy for fun
The majority of air travellers I suppose.
Are they masochists? Isn’t it cheaper to find a dom for that?
“For fun” as in “for travel” or “for visiting people” which is fun. As in the whole “business or pleasure?” type thing people get asked when flying, I think the majority of folks in economy (and maybe all flight) are travelling for pleasure.
As unpleasurable as flight is, it’s typically the best and cheapest option unless not going far or you’re lucky enough to have nice rail options. So it’s still “more fun” than the alternative which might mean extra days of travel time which may even include you actively having to drive.
She has the choice to fly first class, so the “for fun” isn’t talking about where she’s going, but the trip itself.
I’m making a bit of a joke. I’m aware.
Don’t judge!
I’m not judging, except that I don’t think the airline consented to being a findom.

I’m just pretending to be poor and didn’t lose it all on Tesla futures.
no no see, she’s founded three six-figure companies since middle school
Oooh i like this one lol

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7350917142122258438/God, I would wear my hand out punching every one of those smug cunts. “3X exit founder, relentlessly resourceful”.
these are the people I wouldn’t deign to eat when the time comes, even if I were starving.
and that time… it is coming.
“Exit founder”, AKA “my golden parachute is firmly welded to my back at all times.”
Enough ragebait for the day, and I just woke up…
“whisper networks of power players” doesn’t set any alarm bells off for you? When you see something like that happening, you don’t think, even for one second, “everyone in this room should become a fine pink mist very quickly.” You don’t think that?? You just go along with it and try to get some power for yourself?
PATHETIC
What really matters is actually feeling that superiority when you get on a subway with the peasants.
Economy for fun. Mmmm, kinky. Make sure you have a safe word.
I just checked LinkedIn. She’s a real person and this is a real post and there are 83 other real comments from her contacts agreeing with her and praising her. WTF.
Linkedin is the absolutely worst shithole socialmedia that has ever been created. 4chan is more down to earth. The idea in the beginning was great. Make it easier for people to create a network in order to get hired. Unfortunately that just leads to the nastiest of asskissing of capitalism in order to get seen.
4chan is more down to earth.
4chan being a cesspool… I mean, technically you are right.
it’s really true. Facebook is bad. Instagram is real, real fucking bad. but LinkedIn … every server that powers that site, and every “person” who posts on it unironically, all need to be reduced to ash, ground to fine powder for good measure, and then shot into the sun. it’s the absolute worst of humanity collected in one convenient location.
It’s so confused. “Subway instead of drive” sure, because it’s faster and easier. “Flying like a sardine instead of a human” what are you trying to prove?
I’m a 1,90m dude, not particularly slender, bigger than 95% of humans out there. I fly economy most of the time (every time I have to pay for it myself). Sure you don’t get a suite, but what sardines are you talking about? It’s really not that bad. Get some videos on your phone, noise canceling headphones, and it’s just fine. It’s really not worse than my own car, space wise.
Flying at peak time with airport security sucks already. Then the small seat just makes it worse. Admittedly, it does suck a little less now that seats have screens.
Sure you don’t get a suite, but what sardines are you talking about? It’s really not that bad.
Get on board a train. Ride that to the airport. Exit the train and board a plane. Tell me you haven’t noticed a difference.
It’s downright claustrophobic on modern airlines
Yes, the train has more space, but a normal car doesn’t, and I never heard complaints about sardines when traveling by car.

Well, she seems to want to understand regular people, which is good. But there can’t be a worse display of that then thinking flying economy is fun, goddamn.
