They are human beings, these are human behaviors, and it's not "no true human would..." Of course they would, and easily, too. My only point was to highlight differences in our concepts of wealth, and theirs.

Entire Royal families have been terminated for having less relative wealth to the workers than todays ruling class.

Indeed.

The very wealthy do shop at warehouse clubs, Walmart, etc. You won't see them being walking advertisements for clothing lines, either. They do buy quality clothing, but they aren't overtly branded, unless they're casual, work or sports clothing. They may drive nice cars, many will own a regular 90s model Pontiac or something. They also don't plan their money for years, rather in centuries. There's a difference in behavior and attitude between old money and nuveau riche, as well.

What a deal! I'll probably never taste it.

Working fine on librewolf so far.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 1 month ago

I switched from FF to librewolf. Less convenient, more privacy, no pesky G**gle partnerships, afaict.

Something not wasting it on endless ads.

And our own bandwidth, too. Google isn't paying my Internet bill. Hope the rest of my content creators switch soon, otherwise I'll miss them.

No worries, and that actually makes sense, now that you mention it. Thank you for your reply.

This may have something to do with it. One hand washing the other, as the saying goes.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

But I also have doubts if this is the right move

Can you share those and the reasoning, please?

The reason I didn't agree with that is because desperate people do desperate things, despite how clear and concise information available is. With every person had guaranteed, decent housing, food, comprehensive medical, decent clothing and other needs met, I may reconsider.
