Or they might have broken their back working long hours for 20 years sacrificing to live below their means and build up a big enough stash to be able to vibe for a while and maybe even find something to do that would be meaningful for them and possibly help others. I don’t presume to know anyone else’s history, struggles, or circumstances, and it seems a bit unkind to make assumptions.

But, probably, yeah. In most cases. I just felt personally attacked because I just left a job I hated, moved to a low cost of living area, massively downsized on housing, and realized I can exist for quite a while without having a job, and can finally try finishing some side projects I never had time for. So, I still work, it’s just that nobody is paying me.

Just skimmed through the thread and its filled with strawmen or plain misunderstanding.

Nobody is criticizing someone for having rich parents, even if said parents got that money from exploitation, heck even slavery.

No the criticism is that someone rich, thanks to their parents rather than their own effort, is promoting a way to reach such a position in life by replicating a path that is not real. If you have rich parents and you promote "making stuff" or writing a book, which you actually did yet never meaningfully contributing to the lifestyle you are promoting, you are basically dishonest.

TL;DR: nobody cares about that specific person or that situation, we are just tired of lies sold for profit.

Reminds me of an aside from this blog article that has been living in my head for a few months — To Save the Arts we must Kill the Artist — that goes like:

the artist as the bourgeois failson

And other such points about the intersections of privilege, wealth, etc, and art.

The best way to fight the system is to be jobless. Imagine if no one had a job? Bye bye capitalism. The end. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

For sure, and props to you for being open about that—something this post is arguing for IRL (trustafarians tend to conceal their privilege)

This is, apparently, Shanin Blake. This is a picture from 2017.

Her parents are not rich.

Arguably, there's a lot to criticize her about, but her leading a carefree lifestyle and finding success in publicizing it doesn't seem like one.

Wanna bet that whoever latches onto the image to jam their lazy uninformed truthiness (as Stephen Colbert coined the term) narrative into, uses the same kind of lazy uninformed truthiness narrative

Has anyone seen real dreadlocks before? These are obviously not real. Maybe she's not trying to pass them off as real, idk.

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not sure I get why you responded to my comment.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cuz you made me look her up.

Okay. I was confused because I never mentioned anything about dreadlocks.

Trustafarian is an absolutely brilliant insult.

As someone who effectively lives in his grandmother's attic and "vibes" I am insulted by the vague comparison. I have to budget with my job damnit, I work as a courier one day a week.

The rest of the week is me doing autism and childhood PTSD things, so jacking off and playing Fallout NV. Also getting new scars via cats.

I also have a far better sense of fashion, THE 1940 SWEDISH TANKER GREAT COAT STAYS ON DURING SEX!

But have you 100 % NV yet? I'm currently trying to.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I have had NV since it more or less released I have over a thousand hours on it and have played it more or less continuously for over a decade. Of course I havent 100% it.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Nice. I also have had it since then, but got it for the 360. Did one playthrough and vowed never to play another Bethesda game on console haha. Been doing it on PC this time.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Could be worse, my first playthrough was the PS3 version. Which to say was a scuffed introduction would be an understatement, though luckily I was able to get the ultimate edition at Walmart discounted on August 13 2012 according to my steam profile. Which I am now realizing means I put up with PS3 NV for nearly 2 years fucking hell, kid me had a high tolerance for bullshit.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Oof. Weird thing was that I played FO3 on PC, but then got NV for the 360. Not too sure why. 2 years on console NV is a feat to endure haha.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 18 hours ago

Skyrim on 360 was even more painful. Hope ya like 10 minutes of chicken loading screen. My laptop back then couldn't run Skyrim but it could run NV rather well.
