really hate when middle-class/affluent people refer to things as "ghetto" as an adjective. search "ghetto" on yelp if you want to despair for humankind.

i live in a pretty nice neighborhood and someone called my local chinese restaurant "ghetto" just because it's a mom & pop in a strip mall rather than some monolithic pf chang with ridiculous statues out front.

"Across the pond" meaning Britain in America
a) It's just grossly cutesy
b) there are other fucking countries across that same fucking "pond", ya know
c) Is the reverse ever used? Is America "across the pond" in Britain? (real question)

otm. i seem to recall some study that demonstrated that up to like an income of $75,000 or $100,000 it has a large effect on well-being but beyond that there are diminishing returns. i could be pulling this out of my ass though
― marcos, Friday, 27 June 2014 20:14 (ten years ago) link
actually that threshold could've been higher, like $200,000, not sure though
― marcos, Friday, 27 June 2014 20:15 (ten years ago) link
The only people who ever say that money doesn't buy happiness are people who have plenty of money to buy things that make them happy.

Yes! Quite commonly used over here. Sorry about that.

otm. I remember when I was 24 and couldn't even afford to eat lunch that didn't come out of a vending machine as I basically made enough to pay my bills to the dollar and not much more. I remember feeling constricted and raging a lot then.
By the time I was 31 I had a comfortable well-paying job and those days were behind me but there was a period of two months where I was moving and had to float my two new roommates' portion of the rent to secure the deal prior to them reimbursing me on move in date. It was only about a month, but I was short on cash and having to do things like payday advances and it brought back those familiar pangs of income-fueled rage.
fuck it - having money takes away sooooooo much anxiety.

I hate the term "massaging" when used to mean 'it is being worked through', ie, "our client is still massaging the details". just say they're still working on it, jeezus

"kiddie porn"

money can't buy happiness itself, but it can clear away many potent sources of unhappiness, leaving a clearer field for happiness to take root and grow in. or weeds.
― Aimless, Monday, 30 June 2014 16:38 (ten years ago) link
isn't "massaging the details" supposed to mean that they're lying? xp

anything porn is terrible -- it reduces the meaning of the word pornography and also attributes characteristics to the thing being described that are not just inaccurate but grossfoodtravelbasically any noun
but agree about kiddie
― La Lechera, Monday, 30 June 2014 20:01 (ten years ago) link
I agree completely.
Especially since there probably really is something else called food porn that isn't pictures of new appetizers from Chef Gellato's.
― pplains, Monday, 30 June 2014 20:13 (ten years ago) link
totally agree
also "____ porn" e.g. "food porn", "ruin porn"

I tried searching for food-related pornography on tumvlr recently and got real bummed out when it returned a bunch of tastefully - composed shots of people's dinner.

Yeah it's very trashy and gossipy sounding in the worst way, and definitely trivializing, like "Oooh, I heard ___ is into kiddie porn."
― 'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Monday, 30 June 2014 20:29 (ten years ago) link
I didn't initially mind other kinds of ___ porn, because it seemed to have a useful critical meaning -- "porn" implies that something has no purpose but sheer sensation and gawkery.
― 'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Monday, 30 June 2014 20:31 (ten years ago) link

I mean, a big ol' book full of art isn't art_porn, right? But yet, that's pretty much the modern cutsey definition of anything _porn.

Right, or like the idea of "ruin porn" is -- "You have the pretense of making some kind of artistic statement but you're actually just gaping at a city falling apart." That's kind of a problematic distinction tbf, but I at least see where it's coming from.
― 'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Monday, 30 June 2014 21:01 (ten years ago) link
