Implying I care LMAO

I'm more than economically comfortable, by no means a billionaire but I'm not hurting like, at all. I own my own home, I am set to inherit like 2 more houses, I make good money at a stable job, I have time for my hobbies and a family I love.

I want for nothing that I can't have, with some patience.

Gaben having a Yacht collection makes no difference to me, Steam existing and Valve doing what they do does, so I am happy to see them thrive.

Not everyone is an envious crab in a bucket who feels the constant need to compare themselves to others and ensure nobody is more well off than they are.

What a sad life you must lead that you get this angry over something that doesn't affect you in the least, or did Gabe outbid you on your dream yacht?

Me me me me me

My dude, the world isn't only about you. You're much closer to ending up on the street than you are from any billionaire that exists.

Now off to the block list you go, people like you don't deserve anyone's attention.

My dude, the world isn't only about you.

It's not about you and your inferiority complex, either.

You're much closer to ending up on the street than you are from any billionaire that exists.

I'm also much closer to the center of the earth than the sun, I'm still quite far from either, and I'm not very worried about being near either anytime soon.

Short of world war 3 or some other world-shaking catastrophe that won't be my problem alone, I'm pretty sure my biggest worries are my health and not getting hit by a car, rather than sudden bankruptcy, and I don't live in the US so the former can't lead to the latter.

Now off to the block list you go, people like you don't deserve anyone's attention.

You're not a plane, you don't need to announce your departure.
