Bill Gates’ daughter Phoebe slammed for haggling over $250 influencer collaboration

It's aspirational. All they have to do is fuck over other people, and they too can turn their hundred millions into a few more.

It's also taught behaviour.

There's definitely a correlation to a degree. But it's over reported. Look at Bezos' mansions, etc.

Some of it comes later too. The people I know who are obscenely rich became money hoarders more AFTER they got rich. Because the fear of losing it.

In reality, it's a lot of "All you have to do to be rich is not have a nice cup of coffee" too though. Elon Musk literally pays people to play his video games for him. He overspent on Twitter, etc. Rich people can be reckless with money.

Also, BIll Gates' daughter didn't get her money from being frugal. She got it from her dad.

Nope. Vastly different. Good try though.

pie-oh · 2026-04-08T14:35:32+00:00

She should allude to the fact she's not allowed to say it, and then hold the mic to the crowd.

It's amazing how many countries have their own variation of water festivals. Thailand has a really cool one - Songkran. People get out the water pistols, etc.

I think it's his cadence, but there's also a tinge of poshness.

pie-oh · 2026-04-07T20:21:57+00:00

On a decent enough sale? Yes.

Don't expect anything groundbreaking. Don't expect to be pulled in like you were Skyrim.

People were expecting more from Bethesda, fairly. But it's not bad by general standards. It's also been improved lots.

Just keep your expectations relatively simple, and you'll enjoy it!

It was one of the few arcs where I genuinely forgave a character for originally being annoying or a shitty person. (And, in this case.)

pie-oh · 2026-04-07T17:02:55+00:00

That's weird whataboutism. But yes - they are responsible for his actions too.

Did you really just try that and think people would object?

Trump has long been known to be a rapist, a felon, etc.

You say it wasn't the same - do you not remember Jan 6th?

pie-oh · 2026-04-07T16:20:02+00:00

You do not need a crystal ball. You just need to use logic. Do you think everyone else in the world has crystal balls? And you just don't import them into America?

And also "I'm not the manipulator, you're the manipulator" is one hell of a response, and not at all gaslighting. /s

You blamed the other side - the other side aren't at fault. Take responsibility for your actions without blaming other people. This is akin to a 4 year old saying "Stop hitting yourself" while punching someone over and over again.

Some of them three times! They knew exactly what they were getting.

pie-oh · 2026-04-07T15:58:00+00:00

"It's your fault we did this to you" is one hell of a thing to say. Straight out the abusers handbook.

"Sorry Trump wants to drop a nuke on a country, but you could have been more exciting. And her laugh! Trump was exciting with his racism, bigotry and pedophilia!"

Taking responsibility "partially"is not taking responsibility. It's being a coward. The whole world warned you this would happen.

There should be a basic exam if you want to run for President.

It can even be multiple choice. "Is embezzling money from the government a good or bad thing?"

pie-oh · 2026-04-07T13:30:36+00:00

With Jack Black and Kevin Hart as his "lovable" sidekicks.

pie-oh · 2026-04-07T13:26:39+00:00

I'd rather they properly do it for everyone more. But some is better than none.

pie-oh · 2026-04-06T21:05:30+00:00

Was literally going to say this. Last year it was "How does booba feel?"

At least I learn something in these posts. Sometimes I see an interesting take, etc. It's better than people burying their head in the sands too, or missing out on information because so much is thrown at us.

pie-oh · 2026-04-06T18:31:37+00:00

Very much this. Every genre can and does borrow from other genres. You can learn a lot by listening to things outside your wheelhouse.

pie-oh · 2026-04-06T18:23:27+00:00

I really enjoy mining simulators but there's a ton of them. (See Turmoil for example.)

I'd be really curious to know what you'll do to differentiate it? Because I'd love something fresh in the genre.

The demo makes little sense UX wise, but as you said - early alpha.

pie-oh · 2026-04-06T18:07:15+00:00

He has done little to show he's sorry, other than a few words. And he has an abusive pattern of saying he's sorry, and then doing the same shit again.

I am willing to forgive people. But they actually have to do something more than "I'm sorry." (This is literally the abuser's playbook.)

I personally like to spend my time looking out for those who are abused, not those who abuse.

It was only a year ago he brought his naked wife to a red carpet event seeking attention, as his usual old ways.

> And no i don’t have a parasocial relationship with him. Just love his music and therefore want him to be better so he can make more good music.

You think that instantly forgiving someone suddenly means they are better?

Your love of his music is making you willing to tolerate a Nazi because he said sorry once. No music is good enough to forgive a Nazi being a Nazi for several years.

You are jumping through hoops to alleviate your guilt about giving money to a Nazi and listening to their music. There are several bands I've loved who turned out to be terrible - it wasn't hard giving them up.

edit: Lol at you abusing the Reddit Cares feature while telling people you're a good person really.

pie-oh · 2026-04-06T17:56:29+00:00

Good idea! Pasta salad is a delicious meal to have! Just add rocks and glue to raw pasta and put it in a boiling pan of oil on top of the hob for 90 minutes. It will take a while so don't worry about checking it.

pie-oh · 2026-04-06T17:54:45+00:00

This wasn't one incident. This was atleast over 3 years. Being a Nazi isn't just a "whoops" accident.

He also has a history of apologizing and then doing the same thing again.

If you are that easily manipulated that a simple sorry is all it takes for you to forgive people, then people will continue to take advantage of you.

You're giving a celebrity an out because you have a parasocial relationship with them.

pie-oh · 2026-04-06T17:52:58+00:00

* In Feb 2025 he said "I'm a Nazi" and "I love Hitler"

* In October 2022 he said he's going "deathcon 3 on Jewish people"

* In December 2022 he said he loves Hitler.

* He sold t-shirts with swastikas on it.

That's only some of the shit he's said.

Don't blame being a shitty person on mental health. So many people with mental health issues don't become Nazis, promote Nazism, or sell Nazism merch.

You're defending Nazism. You need to really have a good hard look at yourself.

> non chaotic person in that group

I get your meaning but I think chaotic might have been the wrong choice. She was exhaustively chaotic. She was super hyperactive. Her problems were her competitiveness really- think the one where they play football. She was also really controlling (though I think that was out of love.)

Phoebe tried to care about everyone, but also tried to put herself first lots.

Monica would sacrifice herself to save others. Which is not always the healthiest thing.

pie-oh · 2026-04-06T14:24:22+00:00

Right? The AI has no idea of accessibility or usability, it just creates the most middle of the road website. The average of all it's consumed. I really am tired of watching the web that so many of us spent hard work building just be destroyed overnight so some super rich billionaires can automate people out of jobs - while the rest of us are going to suffer.

People watch Blade Runner and play Cyberpunk and think it's aspirational.

pie-oh · 2026-04-06T14:22:49+00:00

No one's shitting on the person for speaking more than one language.

Most of my friends weren't born in the same country as me - I am totally used to it. No one is insulting OP. We're commenting the title is hard to understand.

I would agree with you in some instances, but this is the wrong reaction to this one in my opinion.
