I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)
Sitewide rules apply
other rules
Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

God I fricking hate Paul Graham's bullshit midwit takes on everything. How does this support "the concept of luxury beliefs"? A: It doesn't, he's just mashing his stupid blue check fingers on the keyboard like the r-slur he is. Holy frick if only the tech industry didn't reward self-promoting white male mediocrity so handsomely...

This is textbook luxury belief. If you're a rich socialist at university, you're like everyone else. If you're a rich socialist among poor, they'll try to guilt-trip you until you're either no socialist or not rich anymore.

Sounds like hating Paul Graham's twitter takes is a luxury belief
Jump in the discussion.

"luxury beliefs" is an ill-defined meme concept that midwits drop to sound smart, like "virtue signalling"
Hating on
@paulgdoesn't easily bring me status at no personal cost to myself (which I think is how Pauly G is using the phrase here, but it's rslurred because in this formulation the whole point is that the luxury belief has no correlation with realty - so it makes no fucking sense that being confronted with real world implications would change that belief. If anything, it's evidence of the exact opposite: That rich people really think redistribution is a good idea, until they see it isn't working. So it's not a 'luxury belief' for status purposes, but a sincere attempt to help their fellow humans.)Neither is hating this smug prick an expensive, demonstrative handicap for me (like a peacock's tail), which is another way the phrase "luxury beliefs" is sometimes used. For example, elites can dabble in drug legalization and polyamory because they are wealthy with stable personal and professional lives so I can let my bull snort coke off my ass on Saturday night and still get my shit together for the OKR check-in on Monday morning, whereas the poors would be destroyed trying to live my lifestyle and believe the things I do. Maybe you could say that if I publicly took a swing at
@paulgon Twitter with my real name and LinkedIn profile, then that would be a luxury belief because I'd be risking my career purely for spite (and to show I'm untouchable), but I'm actually not quite that rich or successful yet.Jump in the discussion.

Luxury beliefs is a good and useful observation and its use by Silicon Valley r-slurs doesn't make it any less valid.

Paul Graham is right about Lisp.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Paul Graham is so rslurred he invented his own custom Lisp dialect (not rslurred, plenty of autists make a hobby language for fun) and then tried to actually use it for his startups like an utter egomaniac. It's why the orange site never gets new features and still looks like it's from 2002.

Yeah but the orange site never getting updates and looking like it's from 2002 is a big part of what makes it good. Nowadays I'd expect it to be some SPA that requires 200 MB of JS to run despite not actually benefiting from being an SPA at all.

This is all true, and accidentally succeeding in spite of your rslurred decisions (and misinterpreting it as success from your idiocy) is very much on brand for him.
