A lot of people I've seen in Lamborghini cars aren't serious about their lives. They're spoiled idiots who lucked out and got a ton of money handed to them and are driving it around to show off how much money they have as if they deserved it.

Notice the implied and unquestioned assumption that “life goals” means accumulating resources and not building relationships or contributing to society. In fact, it’s expected that personal relationships and societal responsibilities shall be neglected in the quest for resources.

If this wasn't 2025 I would have thought this image was satire it's so overtly toxic and stupid.

Yet here we are.

Your life can be so much better if you get over the notion of having to own things. Almost every luxury out there can be enjoyed without having to own it, as long as you're able to discard the consumerist propaganda that you've not enjoyed it properly unless you can take it home.

man, those guilt coping posts. maybe just do the right thing, so you don't need to make up bullshit to feel good

You mean just take the bus?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nooooo, I wanted to ride the bus but someone took it!

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's OK my friend, just catch the next one. You can probably make it to the next bus stop even, that's what I like to do.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Okay, I caught it. Now what?

People who are serious about life value long term benefit over short term material goods. Public transportation is a public good for all and in the long term will save you a ton of money.

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

But how else can you show off how much money you have and how insecure you are?

I fucking hate people that act like they escaped the matrix because they drive a personally owned vehicle.

Like wow you're really showing us public transit welfare queens what true independence looks like, gripping a steering wheel in a vehicle they can only legally operate with a government-issued license, on a road built and maintained by the government, cleared of snow by government workers driving government-owned trucks, fueled by government-subsidized oil, and parked in government-funded lots. Let’s not forget they had to go to a government building, talk to a government employee, and pay a government fee just for the privilege of registering their car — which they’re also legally required by the government to insure. And after all that bureaucratic red tape and recurring fees, they have the audacity to act like they're the icons of self-sufficiency. The cherry on top? If their precious symbol of ‘independence’ breaks down, the government isn’t going to help — they get to shoulder the repair costs entirely on their own.

Meanwhile, I swipe a card once a month and get access to a system that moves people efficiently, doesn’t ask for my blood type, and doesn’t require me to pour thousands into maintenance and paperwork — and I’m the one supposedly suckling at the teat of Big Government?

Ok.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

As someone who owns a vehicle, I feel more like I've escaped the matrix when on public transportation than when I'm driving. I still have to have a car to get places public transit won't go, but I always look forward to the completion of each new station, one more area I don't have to drive to.

I'd have so many friends if I had a Lamborghini bus 🤔

[–] Szewek@lemm.ee 25 points 2 weeks ago (8 children)

I wonder which one is more expensive, a new Lamborghini or a new bus.

[–] noride@lemm.ee 22 points 2 weeks ago

Depends on the size of the bus - anywhere from high 90s to half a million for a school bus.

If you need a meme to feel good about your decisions, then maybe make better decisions.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

You will lose my friendship when you waste a bunch of money on a lambo.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Get a Toyota and use the savings to take all your friends on vacation

If I had that kind of money, I'd buy ruined, exploited land just to restore it; regrow a clearcut forest for instance. Then just give it back to the native tribe who lived there centuries ago. I have always wished I could do that.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice, this is exactly why a forest has no car seats. Go achieve your life goals

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Wait, does that mean his actions will make him zero friends? Not even the tribe!? That kinda sucks.

I dunno, the bus I drive costs more than double what that car costs.

I'm pretty sure nobody driving that midlife crisis on wheels has ever gotten "serious" about their lifes

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

It's a great meme, but I do cringe a little bit at the idea of engineers designing the car while already having built most of it.

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

That's agile for you.

[–] kossa@feddit.org 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Those engineers just got serious about their lifes. You can crank out way more products if you skip designing them, it is the engineer hustle 🔧😎

And if they didn't decide yet, they could always just bolt more seats to the roof.

Why is no one asking about the bus with no wheels?!

If you're choosing life-goals that shut out your friends, those are the wrong life-goals.

Engineering decisions: how can make something that pollutes to the legal max both in particles, noise, and, come to think of it, any aspect possible? Oh, I know, a car!

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

My life goal is to not work...which is why I'm not spending my money on a status symbol.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The car they're working on only has one(functional) seat.....

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's also a weight decision. If you bring five American friends along, you just doubled the weight of the car.
