Help Girl,

Some desperate remnant of his soul knows what he needs. As soon as his debt is cleared, he goes on to live what many would call an utterly charmed life: working no more than 20 hours a week, travelling and spending time with friends (which he, at $150,000 a year and no mortgage, has ample money to do). He has a loving relationship also.

But his brain is so rotten that he cannot understand happiness anymore. He is incapable of conceptualising it other than in money.

A man who has everything except the ability to feel it.

How poetic.

Which means that when he says he regrets the months he didn’t pick up more hours to earn more money, what he’s describing here is boredom. He’s doing it in the crassest, shallowest, most income-obsessed and unattainable for most of us way possible, yes. But this man is expressing that once he achieved a certain financial goal he relaxed, enjoyed himself, got bored, realized on some level he was understimulated, and then started working more hours to meet whatever stimulated activity threshold he personally needs. 

This is infuriating because this man experienced the counter-argument to that nonsensical talking point that if we meet people’s financial needs with a universal basic income they’ll grow lazy and won't do anything. 

Anyone trying to develop $200,000 in passive annual income is not working three minimum-wage jobs to live paycheck-to-paycheck. This man’s basic financial needs were met. Working more hours to make more money is just his own personal code for ‘I still needed to use my mind to do things’ (using what might be the only metric of personal achievement he might actually have). This man lived the argument for universal basic income and I genuinely don’t think he realizes that. Once his basic income needs were met he still needed to do things to keep himself stimulated and engaged with his own life.

While rewatching the "MC but" videos today, I imagined an animatic series where Charlie is some sort of nonhuman being that was bored and decided to exist and hang out in the mortal world. And Schlatt is something like that too I guess.

WATCH THIS: MAN SHUTS DOWN ANTISEMITIC WHITE POWER PREACHER

One of my friends in the Boston area took this video and gave me permission to post it. She writes: “ I stood there for twenty minutes, easily. Hitler Youth kept trying to preach about “the evils of the Jews” and the big guy barely let him get a word in edgewise. At one point, the big guy yelled, “I will be here ALL DAY” and the crowd cheered.”

Every time he opens his mouth to speak though, the biker yells “AHHHHHHH!!!” Until the man in the suit shuts up again. When the man in the suit takes a breath and opens his mouth, the biker doesn’t even let him get started and just screams “AHHHHH”…. This happens a few times.

The guy in the suit plows ahead but the biker screams and says “No no no no!!!”

2) The guy is “passionate about” hating and inciting violence against Jews. I’m passionate about information literacy, candle-making, and giving snuggles to my pet rabbit. There’s a fucking difference, there. 

Due to Sapnap’s lore stream and the recent increase of Mexican Dream fan art. I will ask you, as a Mexican, do not to draw MD wearing the Mexican flag since it’s highly disrespectful and straight-up illegal in my country.

For those who have done it before, you don’t have to worry since you probably didn’t know about this since in the USA and UK it isn’t the case at all, and it’s a relatively obscure law, but it’s well known in Mexico.

The reasons why we find it disrespectful:

In our point of view, you are literally covering the flag with dirt, mud, sweat and, if you are using it as underwear, shit. 

One of our national heroes died wrapped around it protecting it during an invitation to our capital.

We generally see all flag as meant to be swung a pole, and don’t be worn. All types of flag wearing is highly discouraged, but wearing the Mexican flag is straight up illegal.

How to represent MD is Mexican without making him wearing the Mexican flag:

Using the color of the flag is acceptable, encouraged even during our celebrations of revolution, independence and football soccer matches.

Pins, paint, etc is acceptable, but the moment you using clothe, it becomes unacceptable.

 Do not use the eagle in any of the clothing, that’s the moment it becomes the Mexican flag, and it becomes illegal.

Yes! that’s acceptable! These are literally people in a football soccer match:

lesbian // bisexual

trans // gay
