Tacky. I honestly can't imagine a more effective way to needlessly make oneself a target of violent, jealous plebs than to wear a gold plated watch that advertises not only one's support for Trump, but that one owns "crypto." SMH
Some classrooms had ceilings made of this weird spongy material so if you threw a pencil at it, and it landed point first, it would stick. I was good at that.
I want to contribute some "hate fuel" to move the bull market along. I'm good at hating things. I have some prepacakged hate ready to send out into the world but no one seems open to receiving it. Please DM me if you want some hate.
Yes! The Bible tells us that many intentionally "suppress the truth in unrighteousness", and one element of their punishment is being "turned over to reprobate mind."
Tonight's movie was Blame (2017)
I don't know what I thought having added this to my watch list ages ago, but I finally checked it out, hoping to get comfy and settle in to a cringy teen mean queen bitchfest, but nope...it was a bit more edgy and interesting than that. These high school kids and their class substitute are practicing for a high school theater production of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible", while the story unfolding is a sort of parallel of the story itself (no spoilers). A play-within-a-play, if you will. Has its dark and uncomfortable moments, but the payoff is good. Also worth noting it's written and directed by the young woman playing one of the lead characters. It's on Prime for free if you have an account. #NowPlaying #NowWatching

"Blame" was decent. In the same genre, you might also enjoy "Thoroughbreds." 2017 was a good year for edgy teen flicks for some reason.
It's true, man. I'm a retired programmer. So glad I'm no longer in the game. If I were, I'd be very worried.
Great cartoon. "The Ring" is an underrated flick. Naomi Watts was such a knockout back then. Wonder whatever happened to the creepy well girl.
Frighteningly accurate depiction of JW Marriott hotel bar in Chicago. I'm the green guy. That's where I sit.
Why on earth would someone store that kind of value on an exchange?? Absolutely nuts.
I'm doing this. It's much easier to pull off as a retired guy who just picks up jobs for fun. I hope the trend goes mainstream.
I know the dude in the lower left is Aquaman, but I don't think anyone really sees him as a savior, do they? He fights crimes underwater, as I recall. He's half man, and half fish right?
No one says it out loud, but I think there's an implicit understanding that these "loans" are actually gifts. They'll never be paid back in full and terns will never be enforced. If I'm Bukele, I just nod, smile, agree to the IMF terms, take the fiat "loan," invest in Bitcoin, and then do what I want. He's an intelligent guy. He knows how to play the game.

Why is Beth Dutton so mean to her brother/Jamie? She's a bit harsh, no?
I believe the optimal strategy is to be neither the doer nor the critic, but rather the key man behind the doer -- working behind the scenes, supplying him with technical and operational support. The one the doer depends upon and is grateful for. Well paid and well positioned to profit if he succeeds, but enough distance to not be on the critic's radar and to walk away unscathed if he fails. Much better reward/risk ratio in my experience.
That may be true, but not for the reasons one would hope. A recent poll showed a top concern among French voters was ensuring that illegal immigrants continue to receive free medical care and other government handouts. I will enjoy watching the French sink to third world status, forced to live under the leftist authoritarian policies that they so enthusiastically embraced.
In Soviet Russia, we painted house trim to match piano.
Agree 100%. I never had any interest in home ownership for exactly that reason. I imagine there are some smart home owners who leveraged the heck out of their properties when interest rates were low, and put the cash into Bitcoin. Makes it a lot easier to walk from your house if it's just a glorified short dollar position.
Chuck Norris is the greatest martial artist of our generation, perhaps of *any* generation.
Mostly. Not always. Sometimes it's better to let your misguided friend believe that his "man bag" is not a purse, that his painfully mediocre child is "gifted," that his forth attempt at writing a novel "really shows promise," and that yes, that beautiful twenty-five year old waitress at Cheesecake Factory may indeed be flirting with him despite the obvious age difference.
It's often better to let a man believe what he wants to believe and not crush his spirit. Let others do the dirty work with their tough love and brutal honesty. Observe how he reacts to life's harsh truths. Then act accordingly.
