1) Are you on the run to a safe place and passing through Arizona on your way to safer grounds? My apartment is open to you to crash at, and it is a safe space. Pippin and I will make you a meal and gladly share tea, wine, or mead with you.
2) Hey! Take your meds with a full glass of water, please. Do it for Pippin, or Space Mom, or better yet, do it for yourself.
3) Ĝefeloað wē. We will carry on.
4) all funds from the sales of items at these two links will be sent to support charities aiding to fight for Trans rights in the US (not just T-shirts!)

#25 Sure, but I bet the interviewees or however they got the data were all physically, nutritionally, and financially secure (at least at a minimum level). Bet none were homeless, cause I can guarantee that having those necessities that money would give you helps a LOT.

What I find interesting about #30, #33, and #36 is the way all three pieces of slop depict Elon Musk (and only him) smoking a cigar.

#9 Riddler in the Telltale Batman series was a bad dude.
realGeorgelucas
#9 except in Arkham City where he's kidnapped first responders and has them in electrified traps, and at one point has them all constantly walking on a track otherwise bombs strapped to them will explode. Then in Arkham Knight has Catwoman in a death collar. In Suicide Squad he didn't even go to Metropolis to hide trophies, they're holograms.

#5 we just got new neighbors and we keep making jokes that although we haven't met yet that they're definitely painting a picture of us from the stuff I shout at the TV because our walls are kind of on the thin side.

#25 "Hedonic treadmill" applies once the bills are paid and there's savings in the bank. Happiness increases with income up to $75K - $110K annually.

My family is there: wasn't really anything we wanted for Xmas, so we enjoyed things like fuzzy slippers, chocolates, homemade meals, & playing games/watching movies together. We don't own a home/cars, but we take an international trip about 1/yr & that's fun. Very relaxing to spend Xmas at my apt instead of going to the US to see lots of extended family. Most of my happiness now comes from trying new social activities & making friends in new classes, like college again. Highly recommend!
PartyLich
Yeah. When I was in school the studies we covered generally described it as a diminishing marginal utility of wealth. I guess that's less catchy than OPs chosen wiki excerpt though.
KittyKlimt6
THIS. Money does make happy. To help the most unlucky you give them money. Here I solved this for you.
EroticZombiePants
And this is why everyone is so damn unhappy all of the time.
BeckyLookAtHerButt
After taxes?
copperdomebodhi
Research I saw referred to annual income. Assume that means before.
cuddleskunk
That probably depends on how many services are covered by taxes. In the US...I'm not sure that's enough after taxes in half of the country.
Omicron416
In that case it depends on the benefits package you get from your employer.
EroticZombiePants
A bunch of America isn't even making that much BEFORE taxes.
Ivain
Yep, it applies when you're not actively being dragged down by problems that could be solved with money. It's like platforming when it comes to physical training, you're gonna platform at much lower level of performance no matter how hard you try if you've got literal weights hanging off you.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
This. Most of my family's problems are still problems, but they're things like, "my son needs help graduating from high school since we are immigrants and the classes are in french and his french is okay but not great," or "how is our immigration paperwork process going?" Not "how to make more $ to pay the bills?" Money won't solve our problems at this point, which is nice.

I would be stoked for you if I weren't so fuckin' tired. Have a happy holiday(s), wherever you are 💜

#25 Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure as fuck could take away most of a persons stress!
lildude52ca
it may not be able to buy perfect happiness ( Cause nothing can ) but i'll sure as fuck be a million times happier than this shit.
Traquaire
For real. If I had enough money to retire that would immediately eliminate 50% of my stress. Then the other 50% could be eliminated by hiring someone to figure out all the bullshit maintenance that needs to be done on my house/yard and having them hire the people to do all that bullshit maintenance. At that point I could then maybe have the time or energy to figure out something to do to make myself happy.
WackyWavingFlailingArmTubeMan
Money let's you buy drugs and puppies this argument is invalid
MayMayz4DayzYo
pullingsixty
Correct, it's objectively false that money can't buy happiness. The people who say that either have money or they're idiots. If I could afford to go to Bora Bora every winter for a lavish holiday I'd be a lot fuckin happier than I am currently.
OverwhelmingSurplusOfDiggity
Sort of - if you have enough money to afford $10k on annual vacations, you probably also don’t worry about healthcare, food, mortgage, kids and school bills, how long you can ignore a check engine light, etc.
Having enough money that you can choose between different fancy vacation spots is a side effect of turning money worries from “existential” to “preference”.
pullingsixty
It was just an exaggeration to make a point. Every data point of my life is an existential threat these days.
pritolus
Money really can't buy happiness. If it could Musk would be happy.
What it can do is remove virtually every source of unhappiness. It can give you room to find happiness, but money in itself will never grant anyone real or lasting happiness.
pullingsixty
Well I think it's always going to depend on the person. Musk is damaged goods. Even though poor I'm generally a pretty happy person. If I suddenly had enough money to be frivolous I'd buy or rent homes to keep the people I give change to a good place to stay warm for the winter, good food, clothes. You bet that would make me happy.
MayMayz4DayzYo
Fair, I was more thinking: healthcare, therapy, food, drinks, home, car, etc. just everyday stress would be WAY lower, letting us be happier.
pullingsixty
In my head I'd already taken care of all those things with my new found money and was moving on to untasted luxuries. But I agree, I would be deliriously happy to have those stressors taken care of. Bora Bora would be nice though.
MayMayz4DayzYo
