I am feeling that I posted really something offensive. But I just reposted a meme from Reddit that had 12k upvotes. I know I shouldn’t have done that. I don’t know if I break any rules or not. If I really break any rules then Mod remove this post.

      If it was a stranger, yes, a friend nope, then I’d be fully honest and offer them the full 50/50.

      Remember, it is better to have friends than being temporary rich.

          I am mostly thinking of the fact that sooner or later the friend would find out that you screwed them over, then it is too late, even if you pay them the rest you won’t get the same friendship and trust back.

      Ah, the classic Ultimatum Game. Economists would say that any amount of money should be acceptable for getting punched in the face, because its better than getting decked for nothing. The vast vast majority of people feel cheated if it isn’t a 50/50 split. This is what passes for a “paradox” to economists, who could probably all do with being punched in the face more often.

        This is why wealth inequality is even more unethical under capitalism than it was under feudalism.

        The problem is that the cost doesn’t match the reward. I’d be totally fine with a 90/10 split for just a punch in the face. I’ll be over the injury in a week with a lot more than I started with. Raise the cost to losing an arm or leg for a cut, then even 50/50 seems a bit low as the victim’s life has changed but the other’s hasn’t.

        I do agree with punching economists in the face more, just in principle.

      You see, a woman would have never thought of that simple solution, because her diminutive brain functions are only used for household tasks and cannot adapt to complex problem solving. This is why they shouldn’t drive or vote.

        You see: The female and male brains are evolved due to caveman and lizard brain woman gatherers ovulations cause them to emotionally react to preserve other females wellbeing for offspring genes preserve evolve and this is all backed up by (laughably bad) science (from decades ago) and is theorised by top behavioral scientists (debunked lying grifters) today.

    Rule 1 in this community. No bigotry.

    Every woman I know would do what’s in the bottom panels in order to own a home, pay off loans, etc.

    I like how in English you can put emphasis on You in “Thank you”, and it has slightly different in meaning. Somehow I’ve only noticed that like few years ago.

    I don’t care if you’re male, female, straight, bi, pan, trans, whatever, I don’t know a single person who wouldn’t do this. Literal free money for minimal effort! I assume it’s a wet dream for the majority of people in the world.
