It is the act of emotional manipulation whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or passive-aggressive remark to another person to undermine their confidence and attempt to engender in them a need for the manipulator's approval.

AKA - Picking up hot chicks

The book The Game by Neil Strauss dives heavily into it.

True, but after a solar flare, the tools could be put back on the magnetic strip.

But, after the magnetic strip gets wet, the magnetism is destroyed (so I heard from a man on the Internet) -

Fucking magnets, how do they work?
And I don't wanna talk to a scientist
Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.

Wasn't today but on Sunday i learnt that if a 20yr old worked 50hr week, every week and all year until the age of 65 he/she would have to earn $2m per hour to accumulate as much as a certain Mr Musk!

Well, that's assuming he blows it all along the way. If I'm making $2M an hour, I don't think it would take me 45 years to accumulate wealth. Maybe not Musk level wealth, but enough it wouldn't matter.

Almost like having extra money allows someone to use it to make more or something...

I think I could manage a 50hr week on $2m an hour and that would be enough.. Hey ho..

One 4 hour day and I'd be more than good. Ok, maybe 8.

What's up?

Yea, might as well work out the day and have a little cushion.

This is why I would never become Musk level rich by the way. Somewhere along the line I'd be the guy that says "Yea, that's enough, cashing out".

Not that building rockets and electric cars isn't cool and all, but I mean...

Of course, that's also why I'll never have that choice, since I don't have the drive/ideas to have gotten me there. Too risk adverse.

I've from several people that while many of us bitch & moan about having to work, lots of retirees end up missing work (or the drive that work gives you) and either falling into questionable life hygiene, or finding a way back to work.

I'd also cash out after a day at 2M$/hour, but part of me wonders how quickly I'd be bored and would want to try stuff. Like building rockets
