    Mansions, supercars, yachts, maids, private chefs, expensive trips in their private airplanes. Those are the things that at least make sense. But then they start doing really stupid stuff like spending $45,000 for a light fixture in their house when most people have light fixtures that cost a hundred bucks. They buy T-shirts that cost $1200 just because of the label. They literally eat gold on $20,000 deserts that are powdered with gold dust and gold flake. They get bored of having everything they could ever want and start acting like fucking idiots. A normal person that has already had every single desire they’ve ever had met would start looking to benefit the less fortunate. Not these fucks. Instead they put diamonds on the soles of their shoes and pursue even more money that they’ll never be able to spend.

      Somewhat unrelated, but “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes” from Paul Simon is a fucking banger

        She’s a rich girl, she don’t try to hide it. Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

        He’s a poor boy, empty as a pocket. Empty as a pocket, with nothing to lose.

              So I gotta ask, because I’ve always noticed this about the song:

              In the first chorus, is the electric guitar that plays between the brass lines, two chords, tuned slightly higher than the rest of the band? It sounds different than the second chorus.

      And then you’ve got Warren Buffet who just was really into it as a high score competition living in a house he bought 40 years ago driving a 8 year old car

        I always thought Buffett was a pretty cool guy until I found out that he disowned his grand daughter for speaking in a documentary film after he told her not to. She doesn’t even really say anything particularly bad. He’s a psychopath.
