I Pretty Much Just Do Whatever Oprah Tells Me

Throwback to 2016 when I told my sister “they’re making another planet earth” and she just like. raised an eyebrow and said in this absolutely deadpan condescending tone “and where are they getting the dirt for it?” and I had to specify I meant planet earth the nature documentary not the celestial body

billionaire could give me %.01 of his wealth and change my life while he is virtually unaffected.

0.01% of $1,000,000,000 is $100,000. Which, for some people, is as much as they’d make in five years of 60 hour weeks of labor. And this is one hundredth of one percent of the bare minimum of being a billionaire.

Also, if the billionaire has a decent bank account setup (which, let’s face it, billionaire has), that $100,000 will just come back the next time interest happens.  It is a perpetually regenerating $100,000.

If I brought my mom with me, she could afford to quit her three jobs and start collecting on her Social Security. We could live quite well and I might not even have to finish college to get a job with a wage that would pay our bills and expenses. “Life-changing” is no exaggeration.

So much of what is “cringe” is just… earnest.

what if you made an honest expression of genuine human emotion and someone saw it!
