Dude, I WORK in a fucking psych hospital. I’m fully aware of how mental illness affects a person’s behavior.

“Successful people want to see others be successful.”

That’s what billionaires tell poor people. 

I know she’s saying “Bastian,” but I saw that gif as her saying “bastard” and I can’t stop laughing. I’m way too easily amused.

‘84 was also the peak of the Arnold Schwarzenegger fantasy movies, and those were on a completely different level from The Neverending Story. Not to mention the cheesy goodness of The Sword and the Sorcerer from ‘82, and also The Dark Crystal of the same year. The first half of the 80's was pretty good for fantasy…

Gah. This whole thing is dark af. I really hope my instincts are wrong and that these dudes (and anyone who associates with them) come out of this ok. I can’t think of a bigger social pressure cooker though. Imagine the things your dumbest friends would have done for “content” as this age.

If I were 14, this might spark envy in my soft little brain. As a man in his 30s, I can only think that some incredibly bad decisions are going to be made in that ridiculously gaudy house, and these kids are just not ready for it.

Imagine creating an organization that celebrates conspicuous consumption and unearned wealth and then having either the extreme self-awareness, or the extreme lack thereof, to call your organization One Percent.

This right here. Trump’s shittiness is at least partially explained by his shitty childhood but that never excuses it. There is a difference.

honestly, can we avoid talking about ”mental illness” like it’s the same thing for everyone? Yes, in fact, many serious mental illnesses people are born with are NOT A CHOICE and , and we as a society have severely neglected care for decades. Yes, in fact, serious mental illnesses can *literally prevent* people from…

Okay, but Fred fuckin’ Trump was a pretty shitty human being, and it doesn’t take 20/20 eyesight to see that the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree. I mean, yeah, good people can come from shitty families and vice versa, but we’re not going to sit here and pretend that nurture doesn’t have any kind of effect on a…

I can still feel sorry for him.

the fact remains that without his moneyed penis, he would probably be an ineffective middle manager at a company no one has ever heard of right now

I think we can acknowledge Trump’s shitty, abusive upbringing without feeling sorry for him and still despising everything he’s done as an adult.

Oh, I have the BEST cheap rich people story. The owner of a very high-end travel agency had the same manicurist as Caroline Hunt, who founded Rosewood Hotels way back in the day. One day, while he was getting his nails done, the manicurist told him that Ms. Hunt had a Christmas present for her, which was pretty…

I’m sorry, are we mocking childhood emotional abuse now?

I mean we’ve been saying this from the beginning but...

I don’t feel bad for Donald. There comes a time in a person’s life when they have to choose the kind of person they want to be. He has chosen, and has repeatedly shown us who he is, so let us not forget it.

Cheap rich people never cease to amaze me. It’s one thing to be frugal – plenty of rich people are – it’s another thing altogether to try to fake generosity with ridiculously cheap gifts.
