I think if she anchored it different, I might think like you. But “I don’t have a million; not half a million either” doesn’t imply to me it’s close. Maybe like 100k. But saying that she said she’s worth so much and quoting her saying “I’m not even worth X” as the proof is nonsense. Especially in response to someone with quotes from the article stating that it’s like $125k.

I think my point is more along the lines of “I don’t even have half a million dollars” doesn’t imply to me that they have half a million dollars.

How does “I’m not even worth half a million” mean “I have hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank” to people. I don’t get it.

If you have a retirement account and a home, you’re probably worth more than that anyway.

Would a younger kid have understood what was being talked about or would it have gone over their head like the dirty jokes in kids cartoons? If the latter, the filters did their job. Neopets was probably one of the rare instances where parents actually signed the permission slips for their under 13 year old kids to use the social aspects. I know my parents did and it was the only site they ever did that for.

Yeah, I think the premise is actually “What did people say 20 years ago that they don’t now.”

Like drag your name through the mud. It’s similar to how headlines use slam.

Republicans removed the filibuster for judicial appointments.

It would be pretty crappy to never give a description of a painting to a blind person though. Like could you imagine if we never described the Mona Lisa to a blind person and they just to guess what it was a picture of.
