Rich people work hard and are smart and deserve their money.

Edit: Since this turned into a discussion of how rich people get their money, let me elaborate. Under capitalism, rich people get their money by exploiting the labor of the worker, your labor.

You have nothing to sell but your time and your labor, and they take advantage of this, and give you back pennies on every dollar you have created for them, amount depend on how much exactly they can get away with without you taking your labor elsewhere. They can fire you anytime and use the threat of homelessness and starvation against you, for they are the ones who own the shop, the factory, the office, the land, the trade, and without those things, you cannot turn your time and labor into commodities you require and want in your daily life. This is the coercion of labor under capitalism. Always remember that.

This structure is designed to squeeze every bit of value out of you in the form of money, the form of profits. You are always closer to the homeless man on the street then the boss in an air conditioned office. Unionize. Organize.

45 Annoying ‘Facts’ And Urban Legends People Have To Finally Stop Believing The Bermuda f*****g Triangle. I live in Bermuda. The triangle is smack dab in the middle of hurricane territory so ships and planes back in the day (that didn’t have weather mapping) would get spanked by them frequently. It’s so irritating when you’re trying to introduce yourself, saying “I’m from Bermuda” and the response is “LiKe ThE tRiAnGle oMg hOw diD YoU sUraViVe”

Edit: Bermuda also has the highest cost of living in the world. More than NYC, Switzerland, or Dubai

Edit 2: methane from ‘volcanos’ in the triangle is just bogus. The only volcano that’s anywhere near the triangle is the DORMANT one that formed Bermuda.

Many a hurricane passes through the “triangle” every single year. Go back a couple hundred years and I’m sure you’d think that traveling through there was ‘cursed’ when realistically it was just a stupid time of year to travel that way

Edit #3: thank you for the upvotes! I just want people to see my little island x

Y’all are ridongculous! 4k+?? That’s over 5% of the population
Edit#4: we are now at over 10% of the population… lordamercy

P.s. Bermuda doesn’t have sharks like that. No one has ever been attacked. At most, a couple tiger sharks and nurse shakes have been seen (which is an island wide spectacle) but they aren’t on our radar like that. Same with tectonic plates. Nowhere near any of them

You say this, but years back we had a case in my local asda (Walmart), baby taken out of a trolley, mum had turned to get something on the shelf and poof, baby gone. Mum was smart and didn't run around to find her, just ran straight to security at the front doors. They pulled the shutters immediately and went over the tannoy to tell people description of baby missing and to be quiet. Followed the crying to the toilet where two women were found shaving the babies head and changing her clothes. Shutter didn't go back up till the police were there for them. I was in the car park when the shutters went down. My kids stay with me and I'm alert in every supermarket. It's not that those types of predators are there more than elsewhere, I take it that predators like that go about their day as normal and take opportunities that arise as and when spotted. Like an inattentive parent with their kids two aisles away.

In my country, there's something called "Deochi or deochiat", which mainly translates to "evil eye" or "getting evel eyed".

It is believed that this happens when an older person admires a younger person too much. Aaaand no, not in a disturbing way, more like, a grandma admiring her grandson for how handsome he is and such. The grandson starts feeling sick, fatigued, nauseous, etc.

This is an actual, real phenomenon that happens because of the widespread belief in it.

I've experienced it a couple of times when I was young, and I've seen many others experience it.

The "cure" for this "deochi", is most of the times a prayer, or a charm that, get this, you can't be taught, you have to "steal" it from a gypsy.

It all of course is fake, just superstition, the power of belief. After I figured it out and stopped believing it at idk, 14-15, I've stopped experiencing it completely.

The people I managed to convince that this doesn't really exist, stopped experiencing it as well, confirming my theory.

Just goes to show how influential believing in stupid stuff can be.

I was driving on the motorway at night and a Range Rover comes up behind me with no lights on. I tried flashing, I tried turning my lights off and on again. Finally get back alongside and she gives me the fingers. Yeah, love, I not trying to get in your knickers, I'm trying to prevent you from causing a massive accident when someone doesn't see you and pulls out into your lane and gets slammed by your 2 tonne tank.

I would say the Megalodon. It's been extinct for millions of years and isn't sitting at the bottom of the f*****g ocean waiting for the comeback of the century. Its dead lets be thankful.

Then why haven't we explored the entirety of the oceans smartypants? It's either that or Cthulu and we'd have much better chances with megalodon so I'm rooting for ol toothy mctoothface

Phil Collins and the reason he wrote In The Air Tonight. It was about his divorce. There was an interview about it.
Edit: The urban legend I heard was that a friend of Phil’s drowned and a guy let him drown. Years later, the guy was at Phil’s concert so Phil put the spotlight on the guy and sang this song. That’s my version of what I heard.

I think they mean that a lot of scary stories go around about people from rich countries/backgrounds randomly being abducted and sold into slavery or something, which happens rarely at most, while the very real phenomenon of people from poor/desperate backgrounds being lured away from home with false promises to be held captive and exploited in a different country is not being talked about enough.

La Chupacabra. Enough is enough. Too many children have died wandering through the jungle, not to mention all the goats. We have to stop this thing once and for all.

Back in like 1994 or 95 this kid in my class, Noberto, told us all how his mom was a biologist who was in the Dominican Republic doing research and discovered this brand new animal called Chupacabra that was attacking goats. We, being New York suburban kids with no such thing a Google, completely bought his story. It wasn't until I learned about cryptids in like 2001, when I was like 18, that Noberto had us all believing his mom discovered this creature and that it was real (2001 was my freshman year in college and when I learned how to use internet search engine and made my discovery of Nobertos lies)

No, “sex traffickers” aren’t leaving flyers on your windshield or toothpicks in your door handles. Sex traffickers are literally pimps, that’s the legal term for them. When a woman is sex trafficked, she is being whored out, probably because she is addicted to drugs. You are not going to get followed home and kidnapped and sold to some Saudi prince because someone left a “I buy junk cars” on your 1998 Accord with peeling clear coat.

Definition of a sex trafficker: "noun, a person who is engaged in the illegal transportation of people from one country or area to another for the purpose of sexual exploitation." So it happens. The method by which the "chattel" are groomed or kidnapped may vary, but trafficking is a brutal reality.
