    momentarily embarrassed millionaire

    Buddy, I have a few months of mortgage payments saved up for emergency but I am still seconds away from being homeless if everything goes wrong but decades away from being a millionaire if everything goes right.

      I presume you’re unfamiliar with the phrase, then.

      I have less than $100 to my name and the abyss to welcome me. Thafuq difference do you really think there is between us? Time? Patience? A couple more dollars? Each of us is living every waking second as if somehow none of all this affects us directly, personally, immediately, and thus as a collective of livestock (ie “human resources”) we’re calm as Hindu fucking cattle — but only sacred to ourselves, in actuality.

      Stop reacting to minutia. Act.

        Ah, yes. More and more like that ol’ shit-site of yore: the auto-fellating abounds in silent anons. This species is totally gonna make it through the next century, yep. 🤣🖖🏽
