Bro is trading crypto and thinking he’s a modern hero. I hope someone tags the car again when it’s cleaned.
Zip2 ( @Zip2@feddit.uk ) English22•29 days agoDoing good would be donating that money to a good cause, not buying a salesmans super car in attention seeking yellow.
Farid ( @abfarid@startrek.website ) English19•29 days agoMaybe it’s the “Superman does good. You are doing well.” situation.
jonesy ( @jonesy@aussie.zone ) English3•29 days agoThat sounds appropriate here.
fakeman_pretendname ( @fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk ) English43•29 days ago“it’s not much of a loss for me, I make £6-7,000 in my sleep.”
Whereas most people would need to work full time for three or four months, whilst being very much awake, to make the same amount, you vile, immoral parasite.

So, lucky trades, crypto(?), then - presumably - slum lord of some description.
Truly the cream of the crop.
Soulg ( @Soulg@ani.social ) English11•29 days agoYep that’s exactly where I’m at.
I never understand where these people just obtain their free money glitch. I work hard and can barely sustain things even with absurdly cheap rent.
Didros ( @Didros@beehaw.org ) English12•29 days agoYou don’t become wealthy from hard work. You need to lie about the value of your labor or get others to do tge labor for you.
Dagwood222 ( @Dagwood222@lemm.ee ) English15•29 days agoSide note.
Back in 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and a new Jaguar was about $6,000.00
If a minimum wage worker really wanted one, he could buy a supercar. $1.00 x 40 x 52 =2,080. Three years ot buy the car.
$15.00 x 40 x 52 = 31,000. Ten years work to buy that car.
smeg ( @smeg@feddit.uk ) English18•29 days agoThree years of not paying tax or buying food, but I get your point
Darren ( @DJDarren@sopuli.xyz ) English14•29 days agoI like how they’ve obfuscated the number plate of a bright yellow Audi covered in graffiti so no one can ID it.
Also, has he tried simply covering it up?
NoneOfUrBusiness ( @NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io ) 7•29 days agoI know Lemmy hates rich people but am I the only one who thinks this is too much?
10001110101 ( @10001110101@lemm.ee ) English21•29 days agoNah, it’s fine. As another commenter pointed out, owner said so himself:
it’s not much of a loss for me, I make £6-7,000 in my sleep.
NoneOfUrBusiness ( @NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io ) 5•29 days agoI mean the guy is an arrogant prick, but still, just… why?
The Octonaut ( @TheOctonaut@mander.xyz ) English12•29 days agoThe “virgin” feels targeted so “the guy is an arrogant prick” is a good candidate for your why.
However even it was just opportunistic tagging of someone’s conspicuous show of wealth, I’m definitely not against people becoming aware of how their community sees them as compared to how their Instagram following sees them.
spooky2092 ( @spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English11•29 days agoNah, I don’t particularly care about property damage to wealthy people. They have plenty and it gets money back into the community they’re stealing their wealth from. Especially when on a societal level, they care about property more than people.
NigelFrobisher ( @NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone ) English2•23 days agoThis generates money for a local garage that otherwise would have been offshored by this guy.
Akasazh ( @Akasazh@feddit.nl ) English2•28 days agoFor me it depends very much on the person owning the car.
From the phrasing of the words I’m convinced it’s an insufferable prick, that besides owning the car has done much more to get this treatment.
But on this matter I remain convincible of the contrary.
ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ ( @yournamehere@lemm.ee ) English1•28 days agoi know liberals dont have a brain, but how bad must it be for fellow citizens until you accept that this car should not even exist in the first place as long as others have to live on the streets?
maybe try this:
- are you for a more or less fair world?
if your answer is yes, please proceed to question 2:
- how many people have access to a washing machine?
you’ll notice: not even half of the people. and there are not enough metals on earth for everyone to have a washing machine.
- are you willing to give up you washing machine/car to prove you did not lie on question 1?
so owning this sportscar always makes you the asshole. always. you can not be a humble nice person and own an R8. I double checked: 100% assholes.
NoneOfUrBusiness ( @NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io ) 2•28 days agoi know liberals dont have a brain,
First I’m not a liberal (at least not how you’d likely conceive of liberalism), second if you have valid ideas you should be able to defend them without resorting to ad hominem.
are you for a more or less fair world?
Mostly a more fair world, but honestly fairness is not the point. If everyone can live with a millionaire’s quality of life and the ultra wealthy can’t exert outsized influence on society then I don’t care about the existence of the billionaire or even trillionaire. Yes, I know you can’t have both within capitalism, but my point is that eliminating the ultra wealthy is a means, not an end. Writing shit on a random guy’s car does nothing to improve the common person’s life. Also just to make that clear: Even assholes have rights.
