Affluenza is really the biggest driver between thinking the barrio/ghetto/slums is an "unsafe wasteland" vs people who are just trying to exist and survive in the framework they are given.

    Affluenza isn’t real, it’s just an excuse the wealthy made up for not thinking the rest of us are still the same species.

    I have no idea what you think it means from this post tho

      Given that it’s literally in the dictionary I’m using definition B. Basically the more wealthy you get, the more you think disadvantaged places are a hive of scum and villainy. And not even uber rich people. Once you hit middle class. I have so many friends and relatives that just freak out over the idea of even passing through, coworkers too.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
