Thanks for explaining America, captain obvious. I said "What's funny" because it's supposed to be a joke.

What's funny is most of the people in Indiana ... are German.

I've been here for years, they kept deadbanning my original accounts because I say things people disagree with. I imagine it'll happen again fairly soon.

By the way, your average karma is kind of low, you might want to try bringing that up. You've had over a year with this account!

Is Vanity Fair really the best place to air this kind of grievance against wealth and decadence?

This kind is logic might work with coca cola stock but it certainly doesn't with apple. How do you measure the roi of a Mac Pro?

So what if they call you lazy? Are you going to stop getting invited to the parties they are too busy studying to go to?

You can get any of the sauces they put in the burgers on the side to dip your fries into also.

On a related note, I recently at at 5 guys and it was 2x as expensive and about 1/2 as good as in-n-out. Anyone who says it's better is absolutely nuts. They expanded too fast.

Continue running my company, probably.

Cognitive dissonance of realizing a lowly engineer (you know, something those immigrants do) can make more than an attorney. Apparently he wasn't paying attention during the last 20 years.

I hear people whine about their VPS hosting costs at the same time as enjoying $100 of booze and cheese at the bar.

I swear half of the web is just re-implementing stuff like IRC and finger and ytalk that have been around for nearly a quarter century.

Wish I had realized this 10 years ago.

They do, but camouflage themselves as private equity firms.

Even small-scale stuff that nobody writes articles about like putting a personal guarantee on a 2-year commercial office lease or a line of credit qualifies as sacrifice and is actually quite risky.

I'd offer a small edit on the premise and say that it isn't necessarily a willingness to be poor, but a willingness to go broke for your convictions that is important. Being poor/impoverished is a mindset, being broke is a temporary condition.

Somewhat tangentially related is the derivatives trader mindset which I have been reading about recently.
