How many times do you think his gfs have asked him to recreate various scenes from his films, particularly titanic?

I think the women he goes after are too young to have watched titanic nowadays lol

brother Titanic is the least of his concerns, even only counting 90s, he still has What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Romeo + Juliet, and The Man in the Iron Mask to live down.

Titanic has it's cheese, but it is perfectly acceptable use of DiCaprio

This is what 'money can't buy happiness' used to, and should be, about. Construing it to mean that the rest of us should feel content living paycheck to paycheck (or worse) is gross. It's true that you can want for nothing and still be miserable, though.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

money can't make you happy when money didn't make you unhappy, but it can relieve a lot of the misery inflicted by material conditions

Money doesn't buy happiness but it sure gets rid of a lot of stress over bills.

[–] sleen@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

That is one thing that I don't get. There is so much quotes and ideas that are just manipulated out of spite to target the working class. It's like the "elites" are really on the sidelines while we're fighting our own people.

Even "carbon footprint" is a quote fabricated to put the wrong doings of the petroleum industry on us.

Hot take, but the pursuit of happiness is a sisyphian task. Humans can get used to any amount of wealth and plenty, it just becomes the new norm. You always need more and more, to the point of debauchery.

I wonder how much of that "money can't buy happiness" thing that many famous actors and musicians go on about is really about how their specific industries suck. Like, Hollywood seems super toxic, and between all the drugs and the extensive touring, the rockstar life doesn't really look so hot, either. And most of them are still basically employees, even if they're a thousand times richer than the avergage joe. I wonder if the actual owners of all the film studios and record labels are miserable, too?

I always suspect it must be, for some people, at some times, difficult to form relationships when you and everyone you work with has to fake emotions for a living.

I think it's that once you're wealthy enough to spend all your time doing whatever you want firstly you probably broke your brain and soul to get there and secondly you probably are just going to burn out on pleasure.

Like, I love me some cheap and easy pleasures. I've enjoyed orgies and I've drank my way into nights where all I remember is that I had fun. But simple pleasures and nice things are enhancements to a happy life. You need more which may ironically mean pursuing the middle way, or it may just mean learning to cherish a simple night in with a loved one.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

you probably broke your brain and soul to get there

Sounds like it doesn't really apply to people who enjoy hereditary wealth, which is actually most of the really rich people. Of course, it's possible that the same issue applies at the family level - in order to become and stay a wealthy family, you might need to be fucked up in some ways.
