Your arguments have a few flaws. The most likely explanation is that selfish people continue to be selfish- whether poor or well-off. This particular group simply looks out for their own interests, whether at the benefit or the cost of others, regardless of where they are in life. They don’t change and suddenly “get haughty”.

It’s well known with psych research that being more wealthy (even in a pretend game) makes people less charitable and less likely to help out others

You are confusing correlation with causation. Studies indicate those well-off donate less at a lower rate/incidence than the poor. There are several reasons to explain this other than to assume people change because of the money. For one, the personality and nature that often drives wealth accumulation is directly related to a lack of charity. For two, income directly relates to an uptake of religion… hence charitable giving and a desire to give to community.

Great. When exactly is a good time to fix this broken system?

I’m going to borrow your comment to say: Ads when I pause a movie.

You don’t expect them to share a jet with another billionaire do you? Those guys are assholes.

No. The one piece of evidence was an incorrect username.

That’s dark

Edit: there are two realities going on with this comic.

Reality 1: A tire complains about being tired (hah you missed it). The doc makes another great pun. The sad tire goes back to its spot to watch the sunset.

Reality 2: A patient complains. Instead of listening the doc jokes about it. The patient hangs him/herself.

It’s an optimization problem.

There are a lot of factors that could go into what you or I end up calling happiness. We probably see things differently after all. Job (life) security, being wild and free, location, family, friends, money… the list goes on. Optimize for what makes you happy.

Are you happy?

Considering it takes thousands of years for light to travel from Sun’s core to its surface, this tracks.

Right. Anti-pervert glasses would at least require some lasers to meet the requisite qualifications.

Someone should post this picture again tomorrow and see if it updates.

Assaults on education work

It’s okay to have multiple, concurrent, lifelong goals.

It’s also okay to take what you can get 👌

Matilda?

Hmm. There was also:

• If you don’t know if you can trust them, kill them

I’m pretty sure duct tape would be involved.

Again. You have zero idea what he (or anyone else) is or isn’t doing without your knowledge.

I’m finished discussing this with someone so thick headed.

The article presents the case they should have allowed israel to go harder, faster. So I’m not sure what you’re actually on about. Or on…

That’s NOT the argument mentioned in the article. Try reading past the headline next time

After the fact. Not DURING
