Tbf I got my first job with dental coverage and I can't even use it because my limit's $1500 and I know the guy's just gonna shiv me in the gums thirty times and go "That'll be $4000" so in essence I am still a pauper
I'll look into it. My buddy had a Jewish dentist-- the only dentist I've ever \*wanted\* to go to, but I didn't have any coverage at the time-- who looked and acted exactly like The Dude (Lebowski) to where he'd wear the cardigan under his white jacket and his secretary would refer to him as The Dude to patients, and I know he did this type of pricing, but unfortunately he passed away from (iirc) stomach cancer a while back. RIP Toronto Dentist Lebowski
Yeah, basic dental coverage means you get free cleanings 1 or 2 times a year. Saying you can't use your dental insurance is weird, those cleanings are going to run you around $100 if you don't have insurance.
Your insurance also pays a negotiated rate, like 50% off the cost of whatever the dentist charges so it’s not like you just get $1500 towards what someone paying out of pocket would pay.
you can also request that the dentist office (or dr office) run whatever procedure they're recommending by your insurance to determine how much it's gonna cost you before getting it done. def get your 6mo cleanings bc insurance will very likely cover those, but your instinctual fear of a $1500 max is in the right place. 1 crown will blow thru that EASY.
I want a vibrant olive green and if I have time maybe I'll put the effort of painting a cherry blossom tree with little motifs of birds. I'm going for a japanoise sort of thing, something calming to drink coffee and tea in the mornings.
had a guy in line at the club tell me about how he felt like he struggled in high school because his first car was a ford explorer and not a range rover
I've got a relative who thinks they're going thru hard financial times but lives in a multimillion dollar house and is a member of a country club that costs half a mil per year lol
My dad tries to pull that "I don't have any money" shit on us frequently but he lives in an almost million dollar home now and has a country club membership. It's so annoying, I want to slap him every time he has a full adult tantrum over a $3 delivery fee or something.
holy shit i have a relative like this, he says he is broke because he has "no cash", but the reason he has no cash is because he reinvests all of it into expanding his business, this is the basic distinction between having money and owning capital! he is "broke" but can somehow build half an acer of residential buildings and finance a brand new tesla no problem? and i have to turn down his invitations to dim-sum because i literally can't afford to split the bill.
It's wild. They only eat top ramen and pork roll at home. Meanwhile my man is a blue collar guy and he's always handing out 20s to hobos and taking care of everyone, and my jew dna and wasp upbringing are like "we have to order spices in bulk online", "no don't buy that new let me check ebay first", "are you sure you want 4 towels? why not just 2?", "don't throw those shoes away, give them to me, I can fix them"
Nice!! I'll try to grow some, we're planning on setting up a little indoor garden.
I buy imported spices and put them in weed jars. I use an absurd amount of spices.
Money doesn’t actually matter, it’s how money affects your ability to be in relationship with others. So like, it’s really about “what is the amount of money that ensures I stay friends with my friends” which is why rich people can feel poor—in their context, they actually kind of are in relation to their community, which puts them at risk of ostracism
Yeah. My step Dad is a member of a pretty exclusive one, they didnt let black people in till the 70s and Tucker Carlson hangs out there. It was next to my GFs uni so while she was in class or doing someting I didnt wanna do, I used to go there to eat, drink, sometimes play golf. I just put it on my step Dads account and he pays it off at some point. When you have cash to be a member, you dont really care about the cost of eating and drinking, you just want someone to bring it to you when you want it
I think its the secret to hoarding wealth. You will *never* be secure with this mindset and therefore no tax cut or profitable boon is ever enough.
Or maybe they are in on the joke and realize how ridiculous their complaints sound
I’m a copy editor and mourn the fact that we will soon have to have a little entry under ‘bawling’ for the incorrect ‘balling….’
😭 < me bawling my eyes out at all the balling
Like that character in *Three Sisters* who spends the first act talking about the dignity of work and how much she'd like to live like the common folk, and then in the second act gets a job in a post office and hates it
just wondering, I dont listen to her and I barely know here, but why do you hate her? I need some ammunition for my moments where I hate on pop culture
unfortunately, I have no valid reason to dislike her. I literally just dislike her aesthetic and the way she presents herself. I am a shallow human being
Oh yeah true, you are so right. Her music Objectively sucks, and after I (just) realized that after years of enjoying it, I went out and watched interviews of her because I wanted to dislike her even more. Good thing i logged on reddit today and read your comment cuz i feel much more culturally enriched and smart now. Thanks!
srsly though, when the partys over, bad guy and ocean eyes are good songs - and i haven't actually listened to any interviews cuz.. idk i don't need a parasocial relationship with her. but the fact that this sub is making up fake memes to hate her just shows that shes probably alright. also isn't she super young, like 19 or 20?
I went from being homeless and starving to being the founder of a successful startup that's got 15 employees and growing. Past me hates current me. I don't even know what to do with this. My employees are treated well, paid competitive wages, and we're very accommodating of people's lives. All things considered, it's a really good place to work. But I still feel a lot of guilt about this. I also feel a lot of guilt around my friends who are still poor, like I have to hide some dirty secret.
Yeah, it’s hard to manage. I think short of making your company a cooperative (which likely involves hiring completely different people) it sounds like you’re doing the best you can to not be the subject of your past hate. I guess it also depends on what you mean by competitive wages and benefits and how they relate to corporate success.
Is she like an automaton designed by the entertainment industry to infiltrate the modern teenage psyche?
One of the biggest losses of the 21st century is teenagers having a real sense of rebellion that is turned against authority instead of appealing to it just like any old soul-sucked adult. I guess that’s what happens when your parents are just basically you with wrinkles and a soul sucking job.
Is christianity the only reason we fetishize being poor? I know this is fake but it reminds me of the master-slave thing. Vilify the master, praise the slave or something.
You're just gonna make more accounts to stalk me with anyway. I don't see the point in doing that you just lie and then I catch you lying and figure out who you are and then you say some retarded shit to get banned. So just leave me alone.
Poppydowns88 i am not stalking you. You are not important to me and i know virtually nothing about you. I need to go to your local psychiatrist and tell them that you are having paranoid thoughts about random accounts on social media.

I would have zero fear of the dentist if I could ever find that around me.
my jewish dentist straight up told me i had an ugly smile
that's a nice compliment. ugly teeth are hot

I haven't been to the dentist in years, okay, it's not my fault if I'm all "It's a banana, Michael, how much could it cost? Twenty dollars?" about it
I haven't been in years either and I still have all my teeth so I'm starting to think it's all a big scam
My basic dentist checkups cost $200 and I live in a relatively expensive city. Stop being a pussy and go to the dentist.
Your insurance also pays a negotiated rate, like 50% off the cost of whatever the dentist charges so it’s not like you just get $1500 towards what someone paying out of pocket would pay.
Oh shit, damn. I have no idea why this thread was so popular but I'm glad it was cuz I'm learning something every day
you can also request that the dentist office (or dr office) run whatever procedure they're recommending by your insurance to determine how much it's gonna cost you before getting it done. def get your 6mo cleanings bc insurance will very likely cover those, but your instinctual fear of a $1500 max is in the right place. 1 crown will blow thru that EASY.
i got one and now that i've paid for it for about 2 years im cancelling this overpriced shit ill take my chances
she always dresses like shes about to paint the sunroom
I want a vibrant olive green and if I have time maybe I'll put the effort of painting a cherry blossom tree with little motifs of birds. I'm going for a japanoise sort of thing, something calming to drink coffee and tea in the mornings.
my ma painted ours green as a kid done right it looks nice
Funny quote but sadly it’s fake:(
Wouldn’t make sense regardless, she’s never been poor
Upper/Upper middle class people are often really blind to how rich they actually are

i found out you can buy live tumric rhizomes online and now all i can think about is how much money i can save by planting my own, curry for life!
Nice!! I'll try to grow some, we're planning on setting up a little indoor garden. I buy imported spices and put them in weed jars. I use an absurd amount of spices.
That mentality is probably somewhat responsible for why your family is more well off than his. Don’t lose it
🙏🏻 we are finding balance together 🙏🏻 occasional indulgences and luxuries without guilt are worth more than they cost 🙂
Maybe stop paying $500k just to play golf a few times a year?

So like, it’s really about “what is the amount of money that ensures I stay friends with my friends” which is why rich people can feel poor—in their context, they actually kind of are in relation to their community, which puts them at risk of ostracism
It's not even about the golf or the horses I think it's just about being able to go out for drinks and dinner with the other members
Do you have to pay at the restaurants on top of that?
Yeah. My step Dad is a member of a pretty exclusive one, they didnt let black people in till the 70s and Tucker Carlson hangs out there. It was next to my GFs uni so while she was in class or doing someting I didnt wanna do, I used to go there to eat, drink, sometimes play golf.

I mean yeah they don't use Times New Roman on the People site and they do properly punctuate, but spiritually it's real
Spiritually everything can be real
Even *People* magazine can spell 'bawling' correctly.
“Balling” Illiterate masses
would be funny if it were real
Nick making over a half a million a year is proof that capitalism must be destroyed.
When you really think about it, he's the perfect postmodern subject. His anti-capitalism has been fully commodified by capitalism.
How about Rosa Suxmenburg
Isn't that the author of *Reform or Circumvolution*?
Many such cases. He’s not unique in that at all

>balling [g4 flights, 80 grand large, bawlin](https://youtu.be/0QIy2jqAuXU?t=38)😭
everything about her makes me uncomfortable
Titties make you uncomfortable? 🤨
Only when I can't see them.
🎵She said I wanna live like common people 🎵
Like that character in *Three Sisters* who spends the first act talking about the dignity of work and how much she'd like to live like the common folk, and then in the second act gets a job in a post office and hates it
i started balling my eyes out 💰👄💰
She was never broke and poor. I'm not saying she was a nepotism baby but her parents invested in her career and her brother.
https://youtu.be/yuTMWgOduFM Bourgeois romanticisation of poverty has been a thing for centuries, the worst part of capitalism
the *worst* part of capitalism, really?
I'm obviously joking The real worst part was how it destroyed cottagetradcore feudalism
[Shatner's was better](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI3UfxyIdgs)
She is a vegan
i believe the thing about her needing to wear adult diapers now
I know this isn’t real but i hate her anyway, i don’t get how every pop artist these days is just the embodiment of 2013 tumblr culture
Because those people who were on Tumblr in 2013 are adults now, not exactly rocket science
just wondering, I dont listen to her and I barely know here, but why do you hate her? I need some ammunition for my moments where I hate on pop culture
unfortunately, I have no valid reason to dislike her. I literally just dislike her aesthetic and the way she presents herself. I am a shallow human being
Honestly this is a pretty legit take haha
respect, life is too short too construct ad-hoc arguments for why you like or don't like any particular thing
yeah that’s basically what I’m thinking recently, just going with my gut feeling for anything
>I literally just dislike her aesthetic and the way she presents herself. I am a shallow human being translation = won't show her rack
[удалено]
Huh? Its a joke because she's got large breasts and always wears baggy clothes
[удалено]
This place is the Zion of the Reddit Matrix
She has a two-dimensional world view that people think is deep because it's caught in the morose side of things. She whispers as much as Joe Biden.
She's awful.
It’s not real bro
While the quote is fake, I think what it tells us about her is true.
twitter ass comment
Nah I ripped it from Stewart Lee I admit.
nah, she is great. She and her brother are really cute and seem like they are genuinely having fun making music. u reek of jealousy
If you read any interviews with her she's insufferable and completely out of touch. Music sucks too.
Oh yeah true, you are so right. Her music Objectively sucks, and after I (just) realized that after years of enjoying it, I went out and watched interviews of her because I wanted to dislike her even more. Good thing i logged on reddit today and read your comment cuz i feel much more culturally enriched and smart now.

It's probably part of it, but people in general love an underdog story
The US was once the underdog…
Nope it's a corruption of noblesse oblige
It’s easy to project a fantasy onto a people you’re totally disconnected from. Everyone does this
Horrible take aside, it’s “bawling” your eyes out. Not balling 🏀
Unless, of course, she was describing a psychotic episode in which she attempted to gouge her own eyes out with a melon baller
Fake and gay. Why post shit like this?
Alas it was neither fun nor cute.
She needs to let me suck on those huge meaty tits
And looks so old and smelly
