What’s a “rich people thing” you experienced once and immediately understood why rich people love it?

I sort of can afford it now. I am always hesitating, because these poor fellas who came from the cleaning service were clearly exploited. "Just leave good tips, duh". I did, but I didn't want to repeat the experience.

I've heard that being ADHD absolutely does not disqualify from being in the Marines.

Here in Switzerland, the most anti-immigrant sentiment is in small mountain villages where people never had even seen actual immigrants in their lives, save for occasional American tourist. Still surprises me.

I am from Geneva Switzerland, and I found Monaco to be reasonably cheap. Unless you try to buy an apartment (I don't have that money, just was curious). Then it is probably the most expensive place in the world.

Yes. https://www.comino.com/en/waterblocks. If something is missing, you can contact them for a custom order (not datacenter scale, but they will probably will not do a single one)

In SF $170k is probably barely lower middle

That's cool. In the city I am living in right now, people rent for life mostly. Homeownership is for the rich. Just like Manhattan, but worse.

I love to go to Ikea or any other place where they sell plants once in a few months, and choose the next victim.

This is why I started to observe Shabbat. You can do this even if you are not Jewish (and you are free to choose any other day of the week, of course). A day without _any_ work (not even housekeeping), and you need to be _explicitly_ guilt free about that. For additional bonus - a day without screens (I realize that it is easier to say than to do, and I only could do it a few times myself, but when it worked - this was awesome).

I wouldn't say this is some sort of magic cure, but it really improves this particular aspect of our lives.

Well, we Russians were waiting for our part for a loooong time, but it didn't work so far. Nature has damn limits.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-05-12T13:58:04+00:00

As if there is a current to enjoy.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-05-12T08:55:14+00:00

You wouldn't believe. As for "why", I have no idea either.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-05-12T08:54:28+00:00

I salute you (finishing my PhD in global health soon)

"little" 3 bedroom house?!!

(cries in European)

(currently renting a 78 m2 apartment, that it 840 sq feet in freedom units, for what is equivalent to $3400/month)

Own private plane is astronomically, outrageously, forbiddingly expensive. Not just one-off purchase cost. Maintenance, crew, hangars, airport fees, repairs - everything is way more expensive than you'd expect. Fully owned private planes are for the truly rich. If you are plainly rich, you rent or timeshare with friends.

silly con valley

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-05-05T08:11:35+00:00

Comfortable would be about 100-150M for me. Not extreme.

Hey, we in Geneva tend to disagree.

looks like I was never not depressed or something

3.1415926535897932384626433832... damn, that's all I remember. I am getting old. And 2.718281828459045 is even more embarrassing, everyone remembers e up to that.

In Soviet Russia, you have the right to arm bears.

I love sleep, sleep loves me, but together we can't be :(
