I screwed up and confused yellow with black as @404@lemmy.zip pointed out… Sorry. D:

Well yeah, they were made by crazy people too.

You’re welcome! Was my pleasure. Sorry for the mistake tho D:

Yeah, I screwed up cause 3 AM. Invested a lot of time on it too.

Won’t steal the name, don’t worry.

Lisp is right on Yellow Bile.

f… I can’t believe I screwed this up.

edit: the more I think about it, the more choleric it makes me.

I mean people who like those just seem like happier ppl to me.

Yellow is melancholy, which is defined as “a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause”. This sounds like C++ to me. And I hear cobol is one of the most infuriating programming languages based on sentiment analysis data of stack overflow, so black bile, which is choleric/angry.

Oh and this is OC btw.

I can’t speak for him but lots of people follow whatever religion’s values and may appreciate the metaphors of their sacred texts without engaging in the rituals or belonging to the religion as a community/organization.

People can get used to anything.

To some people in my country, taking someone to mcdonalds is a nice date. Financial context is relevant to understand the emotional intention of a material gesture.

Taking advantage of someone and being friends with them are incompatible things. If you assume by default that the best thing to do with someone wealthy or poor is to take advantage of them, what do you think that says about how much relevance you are assigning to “how much money they have” regarding someone’s value as a person?

It’s very likely not charity to them.

Think about it this way. If you had a really good friend that maybe wasn’t doing as well financially and you had to get them something for their birthday, and you knew there was something they wanted that they couldn’t afford but you could easily get for them, would you feel like you were doing charity or just something nice for a nice person?

Don’t let pride get in the way. Just think about what’s best for your kid and if he gets some nice things here and there, no big deal as long as he’s not getting hurt or used.

It could actually end up being a valuable friendship and not cause of how rich these people are. You never know.

Lots of parents, rich or otherwise, just want their kids to shut up. Many rich people do this by getting their kids anything they ask for. This is actually a pretty toxic form of neglect. My bet is the kid friend asked if he could get an iphone for his friend too, because OPs kid expressed how cool rich kid’s previous phone was or smth at some point, so… kid wanted to do something nice and parents didn’t give a fuck and just “yeah yeah, sure”'d it.

it could be or it it could just have been an attempt at a gift of something that kid knew your kid wanted with no forethought of how it may have been interpreted by someone with less resources by the parents who just mindlessly OKey it.

Seems like there’s no good way to know at the moment, really.

If your kid starts worshiping the rich kid and talking about his things all the time (which he might if rich kid has all the fun toys and is a decent friend) it may sway your kid a bit more towards materialism, but also offer valuable insight into the true value of wealth. I’m sure, given enough time, he, like many of us that have spent time with wealthy people, they will come to understand that a whole lot of money only fixes some kinds of problems, but also creates new ones.

If you detect a pattern of controlling behavior by the rich kid through what he gets your kid, that could also be a bit concerning, but again, don’t lose the potential valuable lesson from sight. It may be very good to be exposed to that kind of behavioral pattern at a young age if you’re gonna learn why to avoid it really well for the rest of your life.

I’d just let things play themselves out until the child themself expressed distress or concern about the other kid or started asking me for a bunch of stuff I couldn’t or didn’t want to afford.

Either way, it seems like a good faith, despite perhaps a bit thoughtless gift.

I’d believe they had a vision, but beyond giving this person everything they need to not go if they don’t want to, me going would depend on the person, my relationship with them and how much effort/money was already invested in the plans.

Visions and dreams most likely talk about vague feelings/vibes someone got due to a variety of reasons imo, so it’s good to pay attention to them. However, taking them literally and going through great lengths just in case they play out exactly as imagined also seems foolish to me.

yeah i don’t know the rest of the specs.
