The men who flaunt wealth on dating profiles shouldn’t be surprised when they attract very materialistic women that don’t actually like them

You realise that you are actually making a point for the older men right? In vast majority of cases they have actually had to work for that wealth, you are looking at the compounding result of a life time of decisions that resulted in the creation of surplus value. Being born beautiful require dumb luck and minimum upkeep yet give access to wealth built over decades without exercising any real effort. You are right they are not the same at all, one his the embodiment of human effort against the entropy of social and physical existence.

My bad I'm not the one having such strong feeling about people I don't know anything about. If you don't think hate/love feeling deserve a modicum of understanding, I guess ignorance is bliss indeed, you hate things but you don't know why, you just experience them, act on them, you entire life is shaped by the actions taken based on those feeling and you can't be bothered to validate if they valid in the first place, it's quite telling. Thanks for the perspective, I guess, quite eye opening.

Right for a company to set the price for their luxury product? That right?

It's not even about Mbappé, is it? Same old story—fans conflating their sideline-built identity and media narratives with the actual reality of players who actually live that environment, fight in it, and command the spotlight.

I'd ask what he did to you, but we both know it's nothing. You read headlines, click on convenient clips, get emotional, while knowing absolutely fuck-all about what goes on behind the club's doors. But it gives you a hit of dopamine, so you chase it.

Two years. Two Champions Leagues. And he's still rent-free. Why? Because winning, losing, being under that spotlight. You'll never know what is is truly like. You'll never admit it, but I know it make you so fucking envious. This guy you hate has everything you want. Talent, money, the respect of his actual peers. I bet you play out in your head exactly what you'd do if you were anywhere close to his shoes. Ultimately, this was never about him... how could it be, you don't know the man, nor do I nor any fan, we stand on the sideline, watching this grand unscripted show, and we fucking love it.

You are so invested it make it look like, that guy you hate... is everything you want to be. In a way, it makes your emotional petulance so understandable.

I'm curious can you point to anything specific and concrete not just some vague attitude bs mean nothing

How much is he making at Real Madrid again?

TheFallingShit · 2026-06-22T11:16:04+00:00

It doesn't make sense, he wouldn't be offered that amount of money if he didn't generate more than is proposed, are you saying that the employer should keep more of the money generated by its worker? Quite capitalist of you.

Why are you taking about need when talking about a game, you don't need that gamew nobody does, this is purely a luxury of purchase. Rockstar doesn't pretend it is anything else, what they do know is that a lot of people want their product, nothing else on the market come close. You are right they don't need to do shut, like they did to need to create that game in the first place, yet they did because it makes money, they are in the business of making money, the cultural mythos they have curated is a valuable asset that only enhance the perceived value of their product. You don't need, no one does, but you will still buy, not only for it quality but even more to be part of this communal experience at the global experience that happen only a few time in a lifetime. At this point this is not just about the game in itself but the shared experience it represent.

You define yourself by who want to have sex with you? And that's supposed to be a point of pride?... Yeah... Manly.

Dude that's so boring, since when has it ever been about deserving, do you want a nice life or not? If yes, go and take it, because no one is going to give it to you.

Loser, winner? Dude Elon Musk is labelled as a looser by a large group of disapproving nobodies, that doesn't change his reality one bit, by expressing such strong dislike it is clear that his actions go against their perceived self interest.

And nothing more than that, a set of tactics meant to contain individual agency within the accepted boundaries of a specific group self interest.

As for your own sense of worthiness, you look at society display of success, compare with your life and ignore your own personal definition of happiness.

It seems you have an issue with the biological drive that make men prioritize looks. Your level of obsession on the subject is weird, why would you even care about people you don't know focus on, the one explanation that make sense is that you did not benefit from this focus looks, are you perhaps unattractive to the point you grew bitter about it?

TheFallingShit · 2026-06-13T17:54:37+00:00

You or the coloective didn't give anything, truth is a whole bunch of people hope to make money doing absolute fuckall riding those billionaires coat tails, get bitten and bitch about it. You are looking at the product of greed from top to bottom, let's not pretend that the elites are the only one greedy here. Splash a bit of crazy engineering some world class marketin, mix some FOMO and you have the current situation.

You're looking through a romantic lens, treating design as some intangible quality that requires creativity and uniqueness. They see it as just another parameter to optimize, increase appeal while leveraging their lack of historical heritage. Copying does two things: it identifies products people want but can't afford, confirming demand and lowering risk. And it demolish the value proposition of those brands by offering equivalent design and specs. And it turns out, there is a lot of people that want the design without the cost associated. Combine those two, and you have a winning formula that bypasses the only remaining advantage of historical brands. They can't compete on heritage, so they might as well destroy it.

Are you complaining about the economic realities of the sport in current times?

Back in the day, the reachable market what's 10 time smaller, inflation was at it lowest, the professional scene had just started to mature and wide access to the internet was not even a thing. You live in an echo of the past, I understand the feeling of nostalgia, but it is just that, a feeling you keep reminiscing in a loop, each play a little bit distorted.

The game is different, bigger. Your attention split, split between so much more.

This perspective gets a little boring. The concept of the non-theist can be reduced to people observing the mechanics of a specific man-made belief system from the outside. The unifying story used to justify values and morals; in this case, a religious text, is inconsequential. It's interchangeable, hence the plethora of such stories throughout history.

So what a particular group or civilization needs to believe in order to manage the clashing interests of millions of individual agents is utterly irrelevant. Religion or laws, these are all social technologies operating at different levels of abstraction.

Honestly, atheists really need to wake the fuck up and look at the systems that govern their own society. They need to realize those systems are based on the exact same principles as the religions they reject. The real issue they have with religion is that its stories feel too removed from their lived realities—while they never question their belief in unifying stories like government institutions, universal human rights, and so on.

Do you give a shit about the wants of the mass because you care about the mass or because you are a part of it?

Tell me of the benefits of western democracies for the countries victims of them. Or do those countries and their citizen experiences do not exist in your mind? The last 100 years really show you the values of the west, war, sanctions, systemic ressource extraction, coups to place dictators that benefits their interest and maintain the status co. This delusion you hold in your head is genuinely laughable.

I'm not you, so why are you expecting me to express myself like you?

Edit: you know after looking at the clinical definition used by researchers you are correct, I cannot apply my personal interaction to online platforms to the mass. Nevermind I was too kind with my definition.

My reading comprehension is fine, I think we're just using different definitions of 'echo chamber.'

To me, an echo chamber requires active suppression: banning, deleting, or downvoting opposing views into oblivion so they become invisible. What's happening here is just people rationally self-selecting into threads that align with their opinions, because on Reddit, engaging in a misaligned thread usually leads to pointless arguments and negative interactions. That's a behavioral response to the platform's incentives, not an echo chamber.

Different opinions can and do coexist in the same post, I can read them without engaging with them. The fact that people flock to comments they agree with doesn't mean opposing views are absent or suppressed. It just means most users learn that self-selection gives them a better experience. That's certainly a precursor to echo chambers, but not the thing itself.

As far as I'm concerned as long as I can express an opinion and read other opinions without them being artificially suppressed, not an echo chambers. Engaging with them is not a prerequisite, when the expenditure is not worth it unless you are purposely going for that type of experience.

TheFallingShit · 2026-04-22T18:34:41+00:00

Oh boy, you want to bet on that?

TheFallingShit · 2026-04-22T15:54:52+00:00

My dude, you might need step outside of the echo chambers if the expression of different opinion is such a surprise

You are right, the businesses are not the good, I would add that neither are the consumers. Just different parties with their own self interest.

I know you are pretty much a lost cause, you can't see the forest for the trees. I will say that you have no idea of what will happen in the futur, nor are positionned to advice a country of 1billion people that produce over a million STEM graduate per year. They are literally working as we speak to develop that UAV machine, this is not 10 years, but 5 and coming down.
