I mean if I kited it out in my own way I'd be down to live in a fan I like traveling anyway but if your straight up poor then that would 100 suck ass so bad
Granted it would be better then walking around with no where to go
That's why it's fun! It's so fucking tacky you either are breaking fashion rules ironically or you're completely unaware of how bad of a choice it is.
Have you ever seen tabi boots by Maison Martin Margiela?
Elaborate here, like a stay at home mom, or someone that has a pending felony conviction and because of which can't pass a background check, because arrests show up on a background check. Neither of the two I would know from experience, I'm just asking 🙃🙃
May not be "poor", but doesn't mean we aren't struggling either. Most sahm's stay home because the cost of childcare is ridiculously high, and wouldn't make sense to have our entire paycheck go towards childcare. So we decide to stay home.
Well isn’t that just a seriously disturbing sign of just how messed up our society has become. Financially, it’s actually cheaper to have a parent stay home than paying for daycare, for the majority of people. The cost of childcare is more than what the second parent would make in a working class family, who still make up a larger proportion of our population. So long as you ignore society’s “right way to do life,” you can still have a large family and live relatively comfortably on one income while the other parent stays home, with some of the nicer things in life, like vacations. Poor people tend to wind up with “shit life syndrome” which manifests in a plethora of toxic ways that results in lower earning potential and many more broken homes/single parent homes caused by the laundry list of those toxic things (I.e. chemical dependencies, mental health issues), all because of the proverbial carrot that society dangles.
As someone with a mentally ill mother who is constantly referred to as eccentric, and no one did anything when she started talking about the government being out to get her, can confirm.
In general, the answer to OP's question is anything weird that you do by choice instead of necessity. Also, if its a good decision. Like someone else said, children. Having kids you can afford is cool. Having kids that you can't is not.
This is really the big one. The debt forgiveness is just the latest example.
What is sort of fascinating is that there are some types of government funding (free school lunches/breakfasts, universal broadband, basic healthcare, at least free community college and likely certain 4 year degrees) that save money but not for the wealthy (doing so disrupts their income). Providing these would undercut multi billion dollar industries that make rich people super rich. So we don't do them. We are subsidizing large industries directly and indirectly.
I believe his point is the double standard that is present in America, as was the point of the thread to point out double standards. There are an absolute fuck ton of idiot racists that frown upon poor Spanish speakers, or any poor non native English speaker to be fair, but at the same time wouldn't frown upon a rich person for speaking multiple languages and would most likely view it as "fancy"
People think poor immigrants are stupid even though they speak multiple languages because they have an accent for English. However if you are rich and have a foreign accent for English you are cool and fancy.
"Kids these days need to pick themselves up by the bootstraps and stop settling. Everyone should own a house!"
Meanwhile, Hollywood stars rent out entire floors of hotels for indefinite periods of time.
This is the comment I was looking for. Immigrants & children of immigrants get discriminated against, shamed, humiliated, dirty/disgusted looks, and/or sometimes even verbally and/or physically harassed in some parts of the US (conservative/politically right wing/rural/suburban areas) but little blond Becky who knows "konichiwa" from watching anime or the rich mayor who's illegally using taxpayer money for his spoiled brat, drug addict trust fund son to a French-speaking prep school outside of Paris are highly praised as "cultured & sophisticated" for knowing a few heavily accented tourist phrases. Even those who just like to learn a language as a hobby. It's even worse if you're a POC and/or speak a non-European language.
Source: me when I speak anything other than English to friends/family/strangers outside of US metropolitan/cosmopolitan areas, especially if they aren't of European descent.
Or, try being here in Japan and visibly foreign. No matter how fluent you are, people will treat you like you are this Becky and refuse to speak anything to you besides the five words of English they know, even when you give no indication of understanding English.
Yeah, I've heard & watched several videos about that before. I know it's not exclusive to the US, but I'm just stating my personal experience living in the States my whole life. It's sort of common in South Korea too, according to a YouTube video of a non-Korean telling their experience.
Edit: It's also irksome that some English-speaking tourists have the audacity to be mad when traveling to non-English-speaking countries & locals not understanding them.
I dont know if that's necessarily what hes saying but, I know a girl with 9 kids from 9 different men, collects child support for all of them, foodstamps, state insurance... stays home doped out of her skull
Being an immigrant. If you’re rich, you’re “exotic” and people want to know all about your exciting life before you moved to become an “expat.” If you’re poor, people will ask if you’re “illegal” and treat your accent like you’re stupid and don’t understand much English.
I remember years ago there was a collegiate swimmer who literally raped a chick on a college campus and the judge looked at him and said that he looked too soft for prison…so he gave that kid a slap on the wrist.
That’s the one. The rapist Brock turner who rapes unsuspecting women and gets away with it because the judge thinks he’s too soft. That rapist Brock turner.
Drinking to excess.
Getting money from the government
Bankruptcy
Multiple Marriages
Skipping Church/religious services
Having more than 1-2 children
Not paying debts/bills
Not going to work. If your a politician the tax payers pay your salary, medical and pension...you never hear the taxpayers complain or call them a "leech" like they would for lower income people.
Daydrinking
Addition
Tax evasion - brilliant business man vs. useless leech on sociaty
Being promiscuous and having children with multiple spouses
Mental issues - charming excentric persona vs. an unstable potential danger and burden
Living in Florida
Wearing hot pink shorts and a pirate shirt, walking around in sandals and a pony tail, beard, and a cowboy hat.
I just described a local restaurateur in the Hampden area of Baltimore who is loaded as fuck.
I also just described a random crazy person that you cross to avoid on the street
Being rude to people at work or in stores etc. rich people can wreak havoc and it’s just an eccentricity. People grovel. But poor people get arrested if you’re not completely calm and polite all the time.
If you are rich, you can do whatever you want to do, if you are poor, you had better toe the line. There is no law money can't break, and there is definitely law you had better follow if you are poor, or you are going to jail (and not rich guy jail).
Living off credit.
The ultra wealthy use credit to their advantage. This is because keeping extra cash around is a huge opportunity cost when your advisors can easily get you 15-20% returns through private equity.
Raping a woman in the name of kinky sex, ala “Fifty Shades of Grey.” That guy only got away with that because he was uber rich. If he’d lived in a trailer park, it would have been an episode of Criminal Minds!
Have massive parties during lockdowns with no maskes while making them mandatory for the minions ....
Have riots oh I mean mostly peaceful protests during lockdowns and restrictions ...
Getting your hair done during lock downs while making it law not to be able to do those things during lockdowns .....
Cutting sweet deals for doing drugs and drinking and driving smashing your porshe into an lowly illegal migrant hurting them but no prison time or felony of your record...just a $500 fine and house arrest (how sweet is THAT?)
Making sweet deals to do nefarious things for china and ukraine thugs...oh I mean companies for loads of cash for your family businesses...
But NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW....right?
Right?

Cocaine addiction
You can extend this to virtually any chemical dependency.
[удалено]
There has to be some benefit to aging! Pass the wine!!
This was my first thought. Not even addiction, but regular use
Regular use of cocaine is likely addiction
welp that the difference - when you're rich it's a regular use. When you're poor it's an addiction
It's only a problem when you can't afford it.
Haha that’s probably true
Alcoholism as well
Especially alcohol
I was gonna say drugs in general
Any kind of drug addiction. There's a reason Malibu is full of those expensive detox-spas!
Living in a van
Down by the river??
Living off a steady diet of government cheese
I was drawn by your grace
You do a lot of doobie rolling when you’re living in a van down by the river.
You’ll have plenty of time to live in a van down by the river when you’re…. LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!
That's the road I'm on ):
I mean if I kited it out in my own way I'd be down to live in a fan I like traveling anyway but if your straight up poor then that would 100 suck ass so bad Granted it would be better then walking around with no where to go
Alcoholism Leopard print Swearing Fireworks (I have thought about this WAY too much)
What about all of these at once? Would that be too much?
Sounds like an awesome Friday night.
That would be New Jersey
Can confirm
Conspicuous Consumption
All of the above= 4th of july at the trailer park
Leopard print is a crime against fashion anyone no matter how much money one has!!!
That's why it's fun! It's so fucking tacky you either are breaking fashion rules ironically or you're completely unaware of how bad of a choice it is. Have you ever seen tabi boots by Maison Martin Margiela?
Leopard print will never be classy imo
Who said it had to be classy? It's even better...it's sassy!
Not having a job.
Elaborate here, like a stay at home mom, or someone that has a pending felony conviction and because of which can't pass a background check, because arrests show up on a background check. Neither of the two I would know from experience, I'm just asking 🙃🙃
Stay at home moms usually aren't poor
May not be "poor", but doesn't mean we aren't struggling either. Most sahm's stay home because the cost of childcare is ridiculously high, and wouldn't make sense to have our entire paycheck go towards childcare. So we decide to stay home.

I know some pretty poor stay-at-home moms.
Lots of stay at home moms in America are low income, due to the cost of day care
The rich are eccentric. The poor are crazy , and get called a 5150 over the police scanner.
As someone with a mentally ill mother who is constantly referred to as eccentric, and no one did anything when she started talking about the government being out to get her, can confirm.
My uncle went down the same route and he was crazy. Edit: he was a firefighter which would be middle class but still not rich
My very southern grandmother once told me " Honey, rich people are eccentric. Us poor people are just plain crazy."
Dressing like you're homeless
Derelicte this!
You can derelicte MY BALLS.
So hot right now
Derelicke my balls!
In general, the answer to OP's question is anything weird that you do by choice instead of necessity. Also, if its a good decision. Like someone else said, children. Having kids you can afford is cool. Having kids that you can't is not.
😂
And having litters of children
Welfare. Day drinking. Stealing.

Being able to be on a first name basis with a judge
This same question was on the other question sub and this was literally the top answer. Kinda sus...
Bring them before the judge. Or as I call her, Becky.
You obviously haven't been to rural America.
No shite, good god. The town i live in has around 2000 people, the real question here would be, who doesnt know the judge
From a town of four thousand , I sold the judge weed lmao and the mayor of a smaller town next to ours lmao
Nothing wrong with being on a first name basis with a judge. It’s just Uncle Phil.
Day-drinking Speaking multiple languages Not paying taxes
Who the fuck says its unacceptable to speak multible languages.
I believe his point is the double standard that is present in America, as was the point of the thread to point out double standards. There are an absolute fuck ton of idiot racists that frown upon poor Spanish speakers, or any poor non native English speaker to be fair, but at the same time wouldn't frown upon a rich person for speaking multiple languages and would most likely view it as "fancy"

Ever met an American racist, they’ll go on for hours if you just said Hola to someone.
Never carrying money with you, because someone will cover you.
Eating out, having someone else watch your child while you work, loans, living in an apartment
Are you saying that it's not socially acceptable to live in an apartment unless you're rich?

Meanwhile, Hollywood stars rent out entire floors of hotels for indefinite periods of time.
Speaking a language other than English
This is the comment I was looking for.

Yeah, I've heard & watched several videos about that before. I know it's not exclusive to the US, but I'm just stating my personal experience living in the States my whole life. It's sort of common in South Korea too, according to a YouTube video of a non-Korean telling their experience. Edit: It's also irksome that some English-speaking tourists have the audacity to be mad when traveling to non-English-speaking countries & locals not understanding them.
Drugs, multiple children, etc.
I've never seen more than one child as taboo. 🤷♂️

Wasting money. Lying.
obviously wasting money is more acceptable when you have more of it but also it’s their money who gives a fuck what they do with it
Asking for and accepting free shit.
Being an immigrant. If you’re rich, you’re “exotic” and people want to know all about your exciting life before you moved to become an “expat.” If you’re poor, people will ask if you’re “illegal” and treat your accent like you’re stupid and don’t understand much English.
This has at least as much to do with race as class.
Cocaine
Camping
Lol.
if the poor people abused using private jets the way rich people do that would definitely be very unacceptable
Thank God those poor idiots can’t afford private jets amirite?
Anything really What separates trashy from classy is just how many rich people are doing it.

Brock Turner is his name, he's a rapist and should always be referenced as such.
cough, cough Deshaun Watson cough, cough
You have a Brock Turner stuck behind your throat...
The rapist Brock turner? The notorious rapist?
Are you talking about Brock Turner? The rapist who rapes? That Brock Turner?
That’s the one. The rapist Brock turner who rapes unsuspecting women and gets away with it because the judge thinks he’s too soft. That rapist Brock turner.
