"Money does in fact buy happiness but only up to a certain salary" ---this has been updated with more data.
It appears that happiness does continue to increase with wealth, but it does so logarithmically, and the shallowing logarithmic curve is what looked like it going flat.
What this means is: the happiness that a person gets if they start with $1000 and gain another $100, is the same amount of happiness that a person gets if they start with $1,000,000,000 and gain another $100,000,000.
From which it follows that the total amount of happiness-as-a-function-of-wealth in the world always increases when money is taken off a rich person and given to a poor person.

#happiness economics#this is possibly the deepest theoretical problem with neoliberal economic theory#which seeks to maximize mean wealth across the population#rather than mean happiness/wellbeing as a function of wealth#i can explain this if anyone wants me to but i would be threadjacking the post

Wanted some practice working on-base for designs! Bases are done by Johdaa on bluesky, and the designs are up for sale on my toyhouse! (The first and last one are already sold)
#character design#adoptables#adopt design#adoptable#adoptable design#on base design#flat price design#I've been back into chara design this year and it feels good LOL#trying to learn to use bases so I can offer more designs for lower prices#because otherwise it takes me so long that the price has to go up#and I understand the current economic situation is not great#so this feels like a reasonable compromise where I can still make designs for people but ones that are slightly more affordable#salepost#sorry to Shill on my tumblr I hate doin it but alas#ya girl's got bills to pay and meds to pay for that my insurance is a little bitch about LOL#Happy with how these turned out tho#might try to make my own base tho

Thinking about how if Shermy Pines. And like, if he is the baby, he’d be born in the 1970s and be 40 by 2012 and he’s already a grandad. He had to be a teen dad in the 80s (after a severe economic recession) and then his kid ended up being a teen parent by 1999 (Which is 8 years before ANOTHER SEVERE ECONOMIC RECESSION LOL)
Also he was born into a pretty broken family, probably rarely if ever saw his brothers. Do you think he ever saw Stanley before he had to start pretending to be Ford? Do you think Ford visited from college??? Because he didn’t seem confident facing his father until he made millions, so like???
And, like, do you think Filbrick and Caryn changed as parents by the time they raised Shermy? Because it seems like a trend that as parents get older they mellow out a bit, so Shermy probably has a completely different experience with their parents then Stan and Ford, and talking to them is just “is this seriously the same parents???” (Imagine the silent resentment that’d cause 😭😭😭)
Personally I headcannon that Shermy had a daughter (Mabel and Dipper’s mom) and not a son like it says on the wiki because c’mon. Can he just have a daughter. Idk why this is important to me but… c’mon. Can he just have a daughter. It just feels right to me.
#gravity falls#Shermy pines#sherman pines#him being the same age as my parents feels weird#also him and his kid would’ve had kids at like age 14#he’d be like 28 by the time Mabel and Dipper are born#CAN YOU IMAGINE#not even 30 yet#no wonder Mabel and Dipper’s parents are fighting#they got together in like freshman year#that’s if their actual parents are still together#is Shermy even alive tho? bc why didn’t Mabel and Dipper’s parents send them to their actual grandparents#maybe Shermy was an awful parent or something#or maybe he was busy with something else and Stanley was eager to take them#I imagine the call to ‘Stanford’ would’ve been like#‘hey I know you’re probably busy doing scientific research and all but#would you possibly be able to take Mabel and Dipper for the summer?’#and his reaction was just ‘YES. YES. ABSOLUTELY YES. WHEN CAN YOU SEND THEM OVER? CAN YOU SEND THEM OVER NOW???’#Or maybe they just remembered how happy Stan was when he saw Mabel and Dipper for the first time#supposedly he refused to give them back lol#so they’re like ‘hey he’s a lonely old guy. maybe he’d like to spend the summer with the kids’#bc they’re probably aware it’s a lot to ask for someone to take some kids for a WHOLE summer#also maybe Shermy just doesn’t live in a place suitable for kids#like ‘Stanford’ has a whole cabin in the woods#Shermy ‘I had to raise kids in an economic crisis’ Pines might live in an apartment or something#that or he’s dead.#how fucked up would it be if he ACTUALLY died in a car crash#and Stanley winces as his faked death didn’t age well

because my most intense interests throughout my life have tended to seem a little strange to most people, i did - reasonably - conclude that if i started going on tangents or getting excited or knowing too much about odd subjects, whoever i'm talking to would be taken aback or unnerved or unhappy. but i typically wanted to talk about slaughterhouses or free trade agreements or silmarillion rock operas or chemical weapons more than i cared how people reacted, and so i'd do it anyway. which was in its way good, because i've also been able to observe that even if people think you're strange, enough of them will also be interested or at least bemused by you, and sometimes they'll even turn out to also be very keen on the subject and gladly go down the rabbit hole with you. twice in the last two weeks i have let myself start talking with great excitement about supply chains and the people i was talking to also got very excited and revealed they too were obsessed with this to some degree. like yes some people are not going to want to hear what you have to say and tbh some people are going to prefer if you say nothing ever. but i do find that taking the chance and just letting yourself be sincere and not holding back all the time is worth the risk
#and yea some interests are less welcomed. no one liked me going on about the meat industry at age 13 or whatever#and being in the company of fellow odd birds/nd/nerd types does help. especially bc they will often be happy to reciprocate#but idk i did used to think abt like ahh should i practice appearing Normal and whatever fuck that. i want to talk abt economic geography#and so we will. lol

Just another example that all the diversity and inclusion capitalism engages in is merely pageantry and performance meant to fit in with baseline social norms, this is why capitalism is perfectly compatible with likes of the KKK and Nazis.

Today, I'm making soup stock. I save all the trimmings from the meat that I use to make meals. I put it in baggies and freeze them until I get enough to make stock. This way, I don't waste food, and I get some delicious stock for soups and stews and whatever else I choose to make. I'm making a chicken stock and a beef stock today. I'll add vegetables and seasonings to give it flavor. Usually, I also save my ends and trimmings from the vegetables that I use in cooking so I can add them to the stock. Right now, I'm out of frozen vegetable trimmings so I'll add fresh veggies to my stock. I love doing this because it helps me not waste food. This way, I use almost every part of the meat and vegetables with which I cook. It's very economical and it tastes great!! I'll boil these in water for several hours, and the result will be a flavorful and delightful stock. I'm gonna use some of this stock to make a lovely soup this week. I love soup, but that's a rant for another day. 😁🤗😍
#make your own stock#stop food waste#economical#fun to make#soup stock#save the trimmings#home cooking#love#happiness#thank you#sharing#joy#i love soup#i love cooking#the kitchen is my happy places#delicious#delightful#cooking is love#food is love#feed everyone#cook from the heart#meat#vegetables#don't throw them out

A. Philip Randolph turned down a blank check—because he refused to sell out his people. He didn’t just organize workers; he moved a nation.

foolish and tubbo are a literal perfect duo to team up
they think so similar but are good at different things
they cover each others weaknesses so well
wehn create mdo is added they will go crazy with the opness
btoh are also great at the game
in general they just work together so well like watching them adventure and explore is so fun. They have 1 shared braincell
With any bit they pay along perfectly or when having to lie to someone or trick someone they just work together so well
#qsmp#qsmp tubbo#tubbo#qsmp foolish#town of fobo#as create mod is enabled and the server becomes more roleplay and politics and economics based they will go crazy#like they are an OP duo#and both my favourite streamers so im happy
