Yes it’s rare but it exists and I think that was the point of OP, looking for a way to break into it somehow

Everyone on reddit is so pedanticly confrontational, to make it worse, most people like that are just really confidently wrong and therefore it’s an insufferable place. This also pretty much goes for all of mainstream media. Everyone has a shitty fucking opinion about basically everything now, and will fight you over everything no matter how big or small

Poisoned ass society and this seems to be a tad of an enclave

I know some of these numbers

“The mine owners did not find the gold asteroid, they did not mine the gold asteroid, they did not mill the gold asteroid, but by some weird alchemy all the gold from the asteroid belonged to them!”

What is the meaning of “the richest country in the world,” anyways? Highest digital numbers in bank? The phrase has always been so deceptive

This is literally what’s going on in his brain

I consider myself a writer, but don’t make much money from it (I make money elsewhere). Does that count?

Like most things that are not directly related to “productivity” specifically aligning with the current demands and whims of the economy, it’s difficult finding a way to make a decent income in the field, much less have a stable job with insurance benefits etc.

Still, it is a small part of the population who reads or even buys them.

And most people probably read one or two books as adults (if that), not much more than that.

Not just illiterate… like you alluded to, there is not even a desire to read (by 98% of the population, of course there are exceptions).

I was a teacher and saw first hand how the misery of schooling and methods of “instruction” directly create this life-long disposition in people.

I don’t think anyone is really chill and alert at the same time.

I do think so. I’ve attained this state. It’s famous in philosophy, spirituality, as a performer, in a “military” or fighting context, and so on.

But I guess it depends what you mean by chill. A better word is calm. It is totally possible to be calm and alert at the same time. I’d say it is a more ideal state to be in, and strive to achieve consistently.

They must be real big beans for 15 of them to last a few days

I do not use mainstream social media. Haven’t in years.

I genuinely don’t understand why people make the switch and then worry about bank apps. Don’t people have cash and credit cards? What about using an internet browser on a PC or laptop for logging in to bank accounts?
