Is this to assume that anyone actually sees their tank livestock as an emotional "pet"? Aquarium keeping is a hobby, we aren't crazy cat ladies.It's ok, in five seconds your fishes will have forgotten you too.
Would you also go to a brothel? Sorry, I had to ask.I would give a bunch of it away in small chunks to people who put out content on the internet that I like very much, local charities, and a few other charities that I think do good work (those people who remove tattoos from ex-gang members comes to mind). I've got a circle of friends that I've been hanging out with for 15+ years now that I would all drop a sack of money on. One of my fears is that I would be changed by a windfall such as winning the lottery and that the person I am now would despise the person I would become. If I'm going to have a life-changing amount of money to deal with my friends are all going to get the same problem.
And then it would be time for a trip around the world.I would want to see everywhere
Especially a reef tank, having the sea in your place just own, it's so fucking relaxing.Is this to assume that anyone actually sees their tank livestock as an emotional "pet"? Aquarium keeping is a hobby, we aren't crazy cat ladies.
Maybe if someone else is responsible for it.it's so fucking relaxing.
This. Also, psychologically it's very hard to feel good about something that was just given to you. I heard an interview with a guy who wrote a book about trying to scientifically study happiness, and he said that while a lot of people are happy after acquiring money that they feel that they earned, people's level of happiness almost always goes down after being suddenly given a large amount of money (specifically winning a lottery).Well, there are some unique factors that affect just the Lottey winners. First and foremost, they don't know how to be rich, how to protect their money, they don't understand that being rich actually costs you money, they don't have the necessary connections and know-how.
Furthermore, if someone gained his fortune through bussiness-savy, the envy of his peers comes with a certain degree of respect. Sure, I freaking hate the owner of the company I work for, but in the same time, I respect him for what he accomplished. Noone respects the Lottery winner, there is just envy, hatred and malice.
On this note; I'd give a donation to some charity I dont really like, but kinda agree with, of 1 million dollars in pennies.Honestly I have thought about this a lot. If I would win one of the stupid big lotteries I would sit down and go through my life, everyone who has ever helped me I would fill a suitcase with money and give it to them.
Say 50,000 to my history teacher in 10th grade, 25,000 to my next door neighbor for helping me with my car last winter, shit like that. Granted it wouldn't be anything they could quit on but it would be something that could help them. If they piss it away on fake mustaches and snow cones that's their business.
The rest I would shove in the bank and just live off the interest.
OR I get drunk and burn it all in a pile like the Joker, really depends how that day is going I suppose.
this made me LoL.
I think most of the people who win the lottery are incredibly poor/dumb. I mean, how often do you hear about a lottery winner who has a college degree?Damn I wish I could remember that dude's name, I heard him interviewed on NPR and it was crazy interesting. According to him though, winning the lottery for most people winds up being one of the worst things that ever happened to them.
this sounds about right, when your that rich fuck it have as much fun as you can. Really winning the lottery is the ultimate reset button. life 2.0 if you will.Apply for office jobs and totally blow the interviews on purpose just to see if I get hired anyways. And IF I get hired... big big if there. I will show up and just joke around, be real casual, not actually do any work whatsoever, organize some killer office parties and be totally cool with it when they finally let me go/ I get bored and quit.
I think this is pretty spot on. Most people would read that and think Jealousy as a first thought. But if you watch any of those documentaries on Lottery winners, the majority of them are just that. Uneducated jackasses.I think most of the people who win the lottery are incredibly poor/dumb. I mean, how often do you hear about a lottery winner who has a college degree?
Winning one of those huge jackpots means you can essentially live off interest, and yet these jackholes somehow end up bankrupt. I think it's less to do with the lottery being hard to deal with as it is most lottery winners being idiots.
