>Steven T. Johnson, 27, works in a reverse financed internship (he pays $15/hr to work there) as a Data Analyst in Eisele & Stern and lives in Hollywood. He spends most of his days using things he does not own.

>He takes a ride-share service to get to the gym; he does not own a car. At the gym, he rents a locker. He uses the gym's laundry service because he does not own a washing machine. Johnson doesn't even have an apartment, actually. He rents a bed in a large room with other people who rent beds, for nights, weeks or months at a time, through a service called PodShare. All the residents share a kitchen and bathrooms. Johnson also rents a desk at WeWork, a coworking space. And he says the only clothes he owns are two versions of the same outfit.

>Johnson says he owns so little that he has even been able to get rid of his backpack. "I gave that up two months ago," he says. He says that for him, this lifestyle isn't cumbersome or confusing. "That's what's great," he says. "When you don't own things, you don't have to keep track of them. You just show up." He pays $1,400 a month to rent a bunk and an additional $600 a month to rent a desk to work at.

If you would trade ALL that for a mud hut in 3,000 BC you're STUPID. Simple as that. The reality is here that you're just an entitled American who has never suffered real hardship and doesn't want to work hard and long for what he thinks he deserves.

Also prima noctae meant that you'd know if your wife was a whore who fucked chad (the local lord) because he would tell you. None of this "and 9 months later a baby who looks nothing like you would come out". And the lord/chad was generous since most places, while technically having the right to smash, generally tended to give up that right over time as a courtesy. So you had no fear of your whore wife fucking chad.

At least there's a privacy curtain in a Chinese/Korean pod. What happens here if you want to fuck some delicious boipussi and there's no privacy screen? Does Yan just join in?

When Syscon was at 0.075 I wasn't here and didn't hear, when Syscon was at 1.3 dollars I heard the news but wasn't privileged. Now that Syscon is at 0.2 dollars this is my miracle beckoning. When Syscon goes to 100 dollars I will testify how I moved from miry clay to mansion.
