Can’t wait till I see a comment from you after I’ve forgotten about this moment. I won’t know what I was thinking, but the vibes will be right.

Your account is less than one day old. How you do?

I found myself inadvertly doing the same thing. Only my color scheme is far from discipline. My basic think is like: “This comment is making me feel mauve.” Done.

The post was probably made by a troll, but the comment section is wise to the issue.

I know we like to mock vibe coder because they can be naive, but many are aware that they are testing a concept and usually a very simple one. Would you rather have them test it with vibe coding or sit you down every afternoon for a week trying to explain how it’s not quite what they wanted?

That’s his thing. He takes pleasure in being cruel. And because he’s “technically” right, he’ll never own that.

RTFM is an obnoxious retort for people, arguably in community, not to engage with a member of the community. I don’t mind reading the manual, but perhaps you can point me to where in the manual I could get further insight.

Reading a manual is also a skill. Being able to compartmentalize manual info into buckets of “obvious and I don’t need to read on”, “could be helpful”, “interesting, but it gets there I ain’t touching it” takes either training or just getting lucky after a certain number of reps.

Rule 34 this shit!

Sounds good. Have a good day.

A sincere question: is English your first language?

Yes. Why do you ask?

I find it difficult to see it any other way.

I can see that. I think a lot of what you wrote follows if you assume they were not being sincere. Would you like to know how I saw it as sincere?

defense of celebrity culture

This is a minor point, but I wasn’t defending celebrity culture. I was defending autonomy. In particular, had I been asked, I would have said that I was defending those who engage in interests that aren’t a direct harm to people without being derisively criticized for having those interests by those who don’t have them.

I didn’t read it as him asking for someone to explain it to him.

This is causing me some emotional vexation. I also never asked for someone to comment upon my comment. Yet you, OP, and others did. I understood this to be the normal flow of conversation in this online community. I assumed it was part of the I stated norms. And now I’m being told that it is not and appears to be a rule just for me. I assume this special rule is for me because I wrote something in content or tone that people disagreed with. I don’t think that is fair. Which is vexxing. I might be missing something, but I don’t know.

This is probably a large part of the reason that 70% of generational wealth is gone in two generations, and 90% in three, on average.

Are you saying they mismanage the wealth by selling the assets, therefore not paying capital gains, but also using the cash to fund their lifestyle?

I assumed a fiscal manager would advise them to live off debt in the same way their parent had.

The only way this strategy works at all is if the market value of the assets being used as collateral continuously increases, and not just increases, but increases at a greater rate than inflation and the interest rate on the debt, combined.

Line goes up.

Seems pretty likely that he was intentionally a celibate and in order to keep lustful thoughts at bay, he had to exercise his imagination. There’s a chance that his exchange of letters earlier in his life might be interpreted as romantic. But also could have just been platonic.

Well thank you.

I reread it and I’m not seeing it. Can you point to any specific sentence that was particularly sarcastic? Elsewhere someone said the last sentence. I think I can see that. When I wrote it, I felt like I was helping.

Okay. Thanks. That makes sense.

I guess the cycle continues if you will the stock to your children. So it could be decades until anyone pays taxes.

And if the stock tanks, then I guess you declare bankruptcy.

Can you provide an example? I’m not sure I get how that works out in their favor. In my view, paying debt with more debt is a terrible mistake and will get you in financial trouble. But I get that they have far more assets than I do. I just don’t quite see where it doesn’t go wrong.

Do they not have to pay the principle?

I’m not claiming op was being sincere. I read him as sincere. It appears others are not. So he is insincere that this is beyond him. Rather that everything I wrote is understandable to him and he chose to be insincere. I imagine it’s for some reason I don’t understand. Do you understand?

Thank you for taking time to explain this to me. It is now in my range of understanding. I do not know why people have downvoted me. I think they disagree with me. I do not know why people upvoted me. I think they agreed with me.

I’m not sure if you take me at face value any more. I think you think I’m being condescending and sarcastic. Are you being insincere?

I am not being insincere.

You need to pay that loan with cash, right? I get that your assets secure the loan, but without another source of cash, how you pay back the loan and not sell your assets?

Do you think OP was sincere when they said it was beyond them?

I also don’t see how the video you link to is relevant.

this post made me consider getting lemmy off

Well damn. When I wrote this " I hope this simple answer has bought it into your range of understanding." I didn’t have any intention of it being condescending. When I read it, I read as up boeat with a little happiness.

I ran your prompt through ChatGPT this is what it came up with:

“Oh, I get it — you don’t like celebrities. That’s fair. I mean, some people don’t like sports, others don’t like cooking, and there are even people who think reading is a waste of time. It’s all just hobbies, right? Yours just happens to be not caring about certain humans other people find interesting. Perfectly valid. Almost a hobby in itself, really.”

I see how that is similar. I just would have never used the last sentence.

Sincerity comes off as sarcasm to the insincere.

Saying my response was created by chatgpt is dismissive and not genuine critique.
