most useful skill is to learn to play to conch shell. so they keep you around for the announcement of speeches, meal times, and public executions.

you could never listen to even half of all the music. so you'd have to listen to a representative sample of all music, and then predict that you dislike most music

some ilxors like to affect a lack of understanding of rhetoric for comic effect. some ilxors maybe don't actually understand rhetoric.

but if yr saying that u just find dollar bills to be aesthetically pleasing i cannot agree
no i'm saying what you're saying. also spending it on consumer products i want, for me.
― bagging area (map), Thursday, 18 August 2016 22:35 (eight years ago) link
it's not cool to be a craven apolitical consumer lifestyle gay but i think i am more of one at this point in my life. i get a lot of satisfaction out of buying things i want. and that's ok.
― bagging area (map), Thursday, 18 August 2016 22:37 (eight years ago) link
I want lots of money but my life choices have not pointed me in that direction whatsoever and i don't see that changing soon. im not so much interested in buying things, but am interested in vacationing, eating out (well), and attending events all of which require $$$

xp yeah i chose my profession based on vaguely altruistic aspirations which i'm totally over and now i have a shit ton of debt and a low income range so my spending capacity will probably just become more limited in the mid-term, buying things has turned into my way of not dealing with it well. i also want to travel so bad.

Money is good when you can travel, buy drinks for friends, and think of nice places to eat lunch.
