Hello! I am RosexKnight. I draw and write and play video games and even do some DMing for D&D on occasion. I have too many characters and might have a crippling adoptable addiction. I also have too many projects that are half-finished or half-started but hey don't we all? Mobile header by BlueBrush09arts.
It's hard to comprehend large numbers when it involves money. So instead, let's compare it to time.
Imagine that you received $1 every second.
It would take you about 4 hours to receive what a full time minimum wage worker receives in a year.
In 1-2 days, you'd receive an upper middle class yearly salary.
In just under 12 days, you'd be a millionaire.
But it would still take you almost 32 years to be a billionaire.
And to become the richest person in existence, it would take 5-10 millenniums (the exact number fluctuates).
A little wealth inequality is understandable. Some people work twice as hard and it would make sense that they'd have twice as much. Some people may just happen to have skills that society considers more valuable. Some people may be lucky enough to receive a little help from their families. Some people took a risk that happened to pay off.
But if the ratio between a minimum wage worker's full time annual salary and the richest person's net worth is literally the ratio between 4 hours and several millenniums, that can't be caused by hard work, useful skills, or a little luck. That can only be caused by the system being intentionally rigged.
For decades stoners were renowned for their aesthetics. For their blacklight posters and lava lamps, for their airbrushed dragon murals and electrical shock orb thingies from Spencer Gifts. Then they legalized weed and every weed store became the flattest, emptiest minimalist void imaginable. They're putting a weed store in a former Rainforest Cafe and they're tearing out all of the rainforest decor to make it just a big empty space with walls painted the blandest green they can find. They tore down paradise and put up a place where a business major tries to tell you CDB oil can cure cancer
My coworker Mike just started cracking up. Informed us someone was trying to make a test Outlook group at work and seems to have accidentally made it a real Outlook group.
Everyone added to the group is named Mike.
Creator of the group isn’t online yet but the Mikes are coming online in droves.
I have such love for this character. She's been a favorite of mine ever since I was young. Final Fantasy 6 was my first FF game I ever played, and really locked me in for life into video games!!
Being on Tumblr from ten years ago until now and seeing how it's aged is so funny. When I first got here everything was like "haha lol so random, superwholock, taquitos, tumblr university!" but today I just scrolled past three different memes about tax season
