I mean, what’s mentioned in this thread is what rich people I know do. Plus saw a lot of it in Palm Beach.

Because they’re also power-hungry assholes who like to watch people scurry around an office on their whim. That and they figure that they’d slack off at home and do nothing, so of course their workers will too, and how would they know?

And the stuff he saw himself. He mentioned in an interview once that he kept his office job for a long time after making it big with Dilbert because he got so much material.

I dunno, Jackson still has him beat by a little bit.

Yeah, my grandmother had it beaten out of her too.

I mean, yes, but it is also a well-established bit of the lore. It even shows it in the first anime when Charizard is so unimpressed by Ash that he usually refuses to fight at all, and the one time he does fight (because the other Pokémon was strong enough to interest him) he just does his own thing and doesn’t listen to anything Ash says.

Because, when you think about it, what are you really going to do against a giant fire-breathing lizard that says ‘no’ when you ask him to fight? Especially if you’re a ten-year-old kid.

It still weirds me out a bit that when my grandmother was young this was a real, serious take the majority of people had.

Slow clap

I’ve always thought that Terry Pratchett said it best:

No-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine they made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence.
