me: i reject materialism. Im literally not buying anything ever again as it cannot make me happy. what i own should not define me

a tshirt with like idk a tiny strawberry on it: 🍓 :)

me: well i absolutely must have this or i will literally die in agony.

so we all know that Tahani Al Jamil means “congratulations beautiful!” which, like, what a name.

but I started thinking, if that’s the name the Al Jamils gave the child they didn’t even like as much, what was the meaning behind the name of their actual favourite child (Kamilah Al Jamil)?

the answer, of course, making perfect sense:

“perfect beautiful”. subtle, Al Jamils. subtle.

As a Brit, I’d like to remind the world that we invented curry, it’s our unofficial national dish. We eat it more than anything else and you can go into any of our fish and chip shops and get curry all over your deep fat fried foods. That whole white people thing is just the USA. I think we exported all the people with no taste which might explain a lot.

As an Indian I can assure you that we’ve been eating curry since 2000 BCE so go take your colonialism elsewhere.

Did this guy seriously try to claim curry is a British food?

Stop this “work hard” bullshit. You deserve free time, you deserve sleep and you deserve mental health. You deserve to procrastinate and you deserve to have your hobbies. You deserve it. You need it. No one should work & study all the time.

yeah sure poor people who are also bad with money exist but it’s still not an excuse to justify not paying your employees a livable wage.

like mr. billionaire with the 8th yacht this week is going to preach to poor people buying a new couch they probably didn’t need but wanted because their kids fucked up the other one.

fuck off.

poor person: i got new clothes for work because i’m expected to look good for work and now i’m kinda worried about if i’ll be able to pay some bills this month. oof.

rich person with an eight-thousand-dollar suit who drives a tesla: you should spend your money less frivolously.

poor person: i took my kid out to a restaurant for their birthday and now i’m having trouble paying for gas.

rich person who underpays said poor person: you know you can save hundreds of dollars just by not buying all your coffee at cafes.

poor person: i genuinely don’t know what planet you live on but i do not buy coffee at a cafe.

rich person: why does no one appreciate my great financial advice?

poor person: finally got a food card because i’ve been struggling to afford food

rich person who knows full well all jobs require you have a phone: just sell your phone. you know … something that will get you money once and then you’ll never be able to replace it… effectively losing yourself money.

poor person: hey, quick question, but do you ever listen to yourself talk? like do you ever really think about what you’re saying? just wondering.

i also just wanna say … poor people will always have more reason to spend their money on things that are socially considered frivolous compared to the wealthy.

rich people don’t need a 7th yacht to make themselves happy but like … a poor person struggling under crushing poverty buying something that makes them happy is always a more justifiable expense.

why are we pretending rich people need 90% of the shit they waste their money on and instead focusing in on poor people in rare instances of buying expensive things for themselves.
