He'd still have a lot of property to his name, a lot of other assets and stuff that aren't tied to an arbitrary stock market. Even if you crash it, mansions and luxury cars would still be very valuable. He will never not be a billionaire due to that.

That is, unless you redistribute his wealth. Then yeah, he wouldn't be filthy rich anymore.

In Eastern Europe even the most illiterate citizen of a town/city knows the neighborhoods and where they are in relation to one another, if that's what you're asking.

Video Games, friends and my dream of buying a sailboat someday to sail around the world.

Would you say the same thing about being envious and being jealous?

Add migraine aura to that list. It sucks.

As the shortest person in most Basketball games during my childhood, I would have loved this so much! I enjoyed the game very much, but I always had to work twice as hard as my taller friends.

Depends on the part of the world you live in. I'm that age and coworkers (!) constantly joke about having to find me a wife and find it a bit odd that I'm not even in a long-time relationship yet.

I had this colleague a few years back who was 28-29 at the time, and people were bad-mouthing him because he wasn't married, saying that something must be wrong with him. Societal pressure is very strong here.

You wouldn't believe this is happening in the EU, right?

These exist and are widely used in rural Romania. Even public institutions like schools and town halls use these there. They're not the worst you can get though. About 10-15 years ago you'd also stumble across houses that had no toilet paper, just newspapers. You were supposed to wipe with those. Not a fun experience!

It sucks. As a dude, I feel it's almost impossible to balance being confident and approaching women you don't know and also not being a creep or bothering them. I'm not the best but not the worst when it comes to looks, I have many friends of different genders (shoutout to my enby fellows who have to deal with this mess and also discrimination) and I'm confident in most things I do aside from dating. It's gotten to the point I just won't ask women out due to anxiety over coming across as a creep or bothering them, and instead endure loneliness. Which is not great, but it is what it is.

That must be horrible! Did you move far from your old home? She might try to make her way back there if it's close enough

 

There are so many great song in my mother tongue that virtually nobody aside from the relatively few speakers could realistically even come into contact with. I'm certain all of you non-English speakers here can relate! I linked one of my favourite songs, what are yours?

 

Hey y'all! I've been thinking about starting a group of Legacy. For those who don't know, the system is a Powered by the Apocalypse game set in a Post-Apocalyptic setting of any kind (I was thinking a zombie apocalypse) where the players take control of factions. You shepherd your community through the ages and you also take control of significant characters from them to solve various threats to your community. You take decisions at both the faction and personal level, and you both cooperate and compete with the other players for resources.

My timezone is EEST. If you're interested, leave a comment or a DM and I'll be in touch!

 

In the old days of a few years ago, I used The Trove to find all I needed. Is there any replacement? I'm specifically looking for niche ttrpgs.

 

Preferably one that's not a rom hack, though I dig those too. I'm looking for something a bit harder than the originals and maybe a bit more mature, but still fair and whimsical. I'd like a game with pokemon from as many gens as possible, and fakemons are fine too.

 

I've just made a community for posting links and keeping track of game updates. Feel free to join and to post about upcoming or recently released updates to your favourite games! https://lemmy.ml/c/gameupdates

 

A lot of game specific subreddits post update announcements, which were how I heard about stuff like that before I switched to Lemmy. On here, there's not enough people yet for communities like that, so I'm looking to see how many people would be interested in a community that collects and shares news about game updates

 

I've tried multiple Reddit apps in the past, from the official one to Boost to RiF, yet all of them used way more battery charge for the same amount of browsing I do on Jerboa.

This is great! Well done devs!

 

She also has a little plush fish that she always brings to me for safekeeping!
