What

Those that live well outside their means, either buy indulging in what luxuries they can (and demanding them as if they were rights) on credit, or simply refusing to work.

 

Or, a mixture of both.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

No, it's not. There are people that actively choose to be poor, by doing exactly what I've said. Whether or not they recognize the outcome of the choices they make or not is irrelevant. Whether or not they intend to be poor is irrelevant. They make choices that keep them continually poor.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

it's not refusal to work, it's giving up on hope when it comes to getting meaningful work. 

That's still refusal of work. One having a shitty job and sticking with it instead of searching for better jobs or trying to improve the shitty job is refusal to work beyond what they're doing now.

Who would buy Tumblr? Moreover, who would buy Yahoo?

You totally missed the best news source on this:

https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/2/18527177/verizon-seeking-tumblr-sale-rumor-blogging

(inb4 Verge hate)

 

Also, it's like.. Who didn't see it coming - people leaving Tumblr after also banning a bunch of (slightly) NSFW artworks on their site.

Slightly? There was absolute filth on there that even Pornhub won't host.

 

They likely did it over potential legal problems as a result of some of that content.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

Yeah there was some really nasty stuff on there, but IMO they went overboard in what content they had removed, as they removed even slightly NSFW stuff.

The "slightly depressed but otherwise normal but really wants everyone to think they're unique" teen-aged girls demographic apparently wasn't enough to sustain the platform. That's isn't too surprising as Tumblr was already so pigeonholed that running off the porn and furries meant only overly wrought emotional diatribes was the entire content on the platform. 

 

Though I guess that demographic appealed to the former Yahoo staff enough to overpay for the platform by about 950 million USD.

well when you remove porn I mean there went half of that crowd too

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch
