Message me and let me know what you were wanting to learn about me here and I’ll consider putting it in my bio.

  • no, I’m not named after the character in The Witcher, I’ve never played
  • pronouns: she/her

I definitely feel like I’m more of like a dumpling than a woman at this point in my life.

  • OP is definitely wrong about rich people not dating middle class people or poor people, etc. - rich people are sorta immune to giving a shit, they are insulated. Aristocrats may have been forced to marry strategically rather than for love, but that’s not really about being rich per se.

    Maybe some middle-upper-class people try to emulate aristocratic norms about not mingling that way, tbh I feel like the middle class in general is all about proving they aren’t poor, it’s ironically very typical of poor culture to work so hard to not seem poor - rich people aren’t like that and even try to intentionally blend in around others and not show their wealth.




  • when you really think about it, since there are really so few rich people, you start to realize you don’t personally know any rich people, and you may have never even met a rich person, and then you realize everything in your life is for poor (i.e. not-rich) people

    EDIT:

    • roads
    • grocery stores
    • movie theaters
    • gas stations
    • libraries
    • hospitals
    • water treatment facilities
    • sports stadiums

    everything is built by us and used by us - rich people have their own doctors, live on their own compounds, hire their own chefs, and transport themselves mostly by private jets, etc. - they don’t wait in line for TSA, they don’t cook their own meals, they don’t drive places, etc.

    on the flip side, you also start to realize how wealth and power has influenced the creation of the society you live in, like how US colonial food culture was influenced by major agricultural trusts, how drinking at bars became one of the only “third places”, or how US cities were destroyed by parking requirements under the influence of the auto industry


  • oh, that’s nice - I remember enjoying aspects of ZeroNet, though it was hard to filter all the junk out; it was also much smaller than Lemmy.

    I think you will probably fit in nicely on Lemmy, tbh - anti-Zionism is pretty much the default here (which is why I assume you got kicked from Reddit), and there are a lot of techie people here, too.

    Thanks for being nice to me and hearing me out 💕


  • ZeroNet was doing something similar over a decade ago, the idea of a radical free-speech / censorship-resistant blockchain-mediated forum is nothing new. (In the end these spaces tend to attract pedophiles, Nazis, and other such taboo groups who experience the most censorship elsewhere.)

    My issue with this is less about a lack of knowledge (I have more crypto and blockchain knowledge than I would like to have), but more about the disappointment in crypto-bro culture and their ideological associations. NFTs, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technologies are all darlings of reactionaries and grifters - it’s a toxic culture, and I’m just not interested in anything associated with it.
