I added an edit that covers the tradable token part.
Their point is they don't want to give you anything because, per the nerdy ass phrasing, those fake tokens are also tradable for things of minor interest, which is more interesting to have than not have. So why give away the tokens for free?
Their original point is just that money is made up (aka that it only has agreed upon socially determined value)
Oh boy we've engaged nerd mode, my favorite!
Robux technically are just as legitimate as dollars it's just we arbitrarily do not accept robux for milk because it's new (aka not "legal tender"). If you want legal money, you'll have to specify lmao
That seems to be the original point of this chain, am I wrong?
Edit: technically legitimate not meaning backed but as legitimate as any other made up tradable token, aka crypto. It might be more correct for me to say robux are technically as legitimate as crypto, but I'm not entirely sure right now about the exact phrasing I want to use.
I mean, I'm coming from a background sceptical of the law of attraction because it's just repackaging having goals to sell self help books. How do you become a nuclear scientist? Step 1) step 2) step 3) etc.
The law of attraction is new speak used to sell known principles to people, in my opinion. Manifestation, in my opinion, is the same thing but coming at it from a crystals vibe rather than the self help vibe of the law of attraction.
I don't mean to be a jerk about it, hence all the in my opinions, but as I said, I am very skeptical of the usage and utilization of the concept of manifestation.
All that said, you're not wrong. The principle is valid and it does work, but it's mustering the discipline to stick to those goals, that's the secret that everyone is looking for. Idk I feel like I'm starting to ramble, do you have any points/counter points to any of this?
No, not just Tumblr, they thrive on Twitter as well. That was where my friend got the death threats primarily. They did sprout from the Tumblr younglings though. I'm convinced antis are what happen when you're catered to too much lol
Oh yeah, I just wanted to complete the picture for those who might not be able to assume all the steps, it's by no means a fault in anything you said. I'm just adding on because I don't mind the low hanging fruit discussions, personally. By all means, feel free to skip it, that's what people with interests like mine are here to fill for! Don't waste your time being stuck in boring explanations on the internet when it's virtually guaranteed someone else will think it's fun!
Fair enough, that was supposed to be a meme opener just so I could comment, but I deleted the /s right before the opening parentheses, and now I'm worried I came off like a complete asshole to you! My apologies! I meant that in a joking meme tone, not in a tell you what to do way! Sorry about that!
I had a friend who irritated this part of the internet with fanfiction and got death threats because of it! It's really stupid lol they're called "antis" because they're anti everything.
They're so insane that they have called characters who knew other characters (all fictional characters, treated as seriously as though this was real life, mind you) when they were underage but ended up dating when both characters were canonically both above 18, they call the older character in that scenario a groomer. With their full chest. When no grooming activity has taken place. It's very black and white. Also very "you should have known you would have offended me with that idea"-y which is very not good for creative work areas.
This is the side of the internet that infantilizes full grown adults, thus making a 20 to 23 year old age gap "problematic" (in heavy sarcasm quotes because I pretty vehemently believe there is nothing wrong with 2 consenting adults being in a relationship together. Problematic is a useful word still, but this just is not what problematic looks like)
How did they get mixed? I see 1 in arabic and 2 and 3 in Hindu. Is there a good place to start reading or watching about this in your opinion? If not, I'm just gonna YouTube the history of numbers and see where I land
What's the difference?
Maybe it's having been raised in the south, but I'm used to hearing both. Maybe it's a regional difference?
Though if I go for til these days, I'm more likely to say until rather than just til lol
Say /s right now
(i had to look at it twice but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be their, not they're lol)
That second one... Isn't that manifestation? Hard agree with you there, usually people promoting manifestation are simultaneously saying "you can imagine anything and make it real" and in the same breath are trying to sell you something that you evidently aren't able to imagine into your reality for free.
On the other side, technically, even breathing is enough to satisfy the goal of "changing the universe". That bunch of molecules would not be moving through the universe like that if it weren't for your consciousness (but few appreciate sentience at that atomic of a mechanical level lol. I just think it's a massive glazed over step in going from mind to city/culture/science)
Oh boy you're not gonna like my stance on morals :)
And I'm not sure if I should get into my philosophy on language... But, si je parle en francais a tu, it's as useful as if I hadn't talked at all to you all, because (assuming you don't already know French, if you do, replace the example with a language that you do not know and the point still stands) French is a social construct amongst the French, not amongst English speakers. So therefore, different constructs have different values in different contexts.
I guess my wandering point here (because I absolutely agree still with the original poster that money is a made up social construct) is that even though you value money more than robux, it doesn't give money any more legitimacy, it's just you've decided one is more useful than the other based on the necessities of society. That is not a wrong thing to do, by all means, you need money and not robux to survive in common society, but it does cover up the nature of things in that money is technically just as legitimate a token as robux.
