I mean at that rate stoning is free, but I don’t wanna stoop to taliban. Maybe French had the right idea.

Anchor and chains in 20m waters is much cheaper.

There is still some optionality like maybe you get a windfall from a boomer dying and you can pay the principal. Or in 30 years your currency devalues to the point you can afford the principal.

Anyway it all feels like fool’s hope. Situation is fucked.

English is technically my fourth language and I started learning it at age 12. However I really got good around age 16 when I started watching a lot of Hollywood movies with subtitles. Even now when I speak fluent English, with dare I say some “elegance”, i prefer my movies with subtitles, because it’s just a happy place in my mind.

I don’t know about a lot of industries, but in finance, having a non-compete at least for a few weeks is essential as of your trading positions are known to your competitors, you end up losing quite a lot. I know it’s one giant asshole protecting itself from another giant asshole, but at least I know that usecase is justified.

I used to think that till I met absolute Chad of a man with failing kidney and he would laugh at the situation refuse to be treated, he was like I’m 47 I lived a happy life and I’ll die if ill die but I’m not being bound to a bed, refused multiple dialysis interventions from his family and was clearly getting in pain towards the end, finally sold his very few possessions, gave some money to his youngest sister that struggled financially and took some drugs and died on a beach alone. (he had already gave up one kidney to save a sibling).

That man clearly didn’t care much about, he didn’t care about his family getting hurt because of his illness and death, he didn’t care about pain to his body, he didn’t care about death, and honestly I saw him 3-4 days before his death, he was still laughing like he was at peace and played a few games of uno with me.

Yeah tell that to my sister, who wants 4k for her laptop simply because she’s heard 4k is better 4 times 1080p, she’s buying a 13 inch.

Small numbers are just not sufficient for some people. I know if I send this article to her, I’ll be questioned “why do you not want me to see happy?”. So instead I just watch my nephews collage fund contribution shrink.

Sorry it became a rant of family tech guy.

I feel i am the soup and rice guy so, best of both worlds.

Oh I’m greedy.

Funny indeed

I was very big on masculinity, not like man better than woman stuff, but like man don’t wear pink, men don’t carry purse on shoulders, men don’t wear makeup etc etc.

And someone told me," Is your masculinity so weak that wearing pink will make you feminine."

That implied I’d be so close to feminity that wearing pink will turn me over into feminine. And I was pretty comfortable with my masculinity, so only conclusion was these notions are toxic and I should do what I like and what is comfortable, I’m not gonna be less of a man for wearing pink.

I just noticed, he has lights pointed directly at his face, his pupils are still diallated quite a bit, I wonder what drugs he must be on.

Well then i guess ists not an LTT reference.

Linus Tech Tips, founder Linus, thought when someone said hard r they mean the word used to describe mentally different people. But in the context it seemed like he is talking about African Americans, was a short lived story as it was a genuine mistake.

LTT reference?

They will dread everything free

You do realise, these people are going there willingly, it’s the same people that go to work in cruel conditions to build stadium for Qatar world cup. For a lot of those people it’s just an opportunity to earn, and secure better future. It’s not something that government is encouraging.

Minimum wage in Israel is around 1800 USD a month, average income in India is around 3500 USD, so an Indian worker can work two months and make the same money they’d do in India for a whole year. So they’ll just go to any country that has higher wages and doesn’t restrict their entry.

Well its normal for about 1.5 billion people with about the same fatality rate as the rest of the world. It’s chaos and madness but it seems to work for them arguable about the same as organised traffic countires.

Fuck cars in general for sure, I’d prefer no death machines around me, but having lanes doesn’t make it safer in my opinion, having more attentive drivers kind of makes it safer.

Well couple of things, it’s entirely possible your friends and family are complete assholes, but sometimes people need to ask themselves how many times have they listened to someone when they want to express their negative emotions?

My wife’s cousin, her entire life she’s never once lent an ear to a sad friend/family, had had the audacity to tell an aunt who lost her breasts to cancer that she just brings negative energy and wouldn’t be invited to any gatherings at her house, now is suffering through a divorce and cannot fathom why the whole family kind of supports the husband and not her.

Exchange Traded Funds, basically these funds pool money from a lot of small investors and give you diversified portfolio. Basically if you try to mirror S&P 500 yourself, it’ll require about a few hundred thousand dollars to manage, but by pooling with other people you can have S&P 500 level diversification for 100$

Well modern Iran is built on persecutions. Be it Zoroastrians, Jews, Christians, Mandaeism, Ba’hai all were persecuted, even sunni and sufi muslim also persecuted.

Sounds like desolatemoon is your mom and they commented to make you happy. Jokes aside moms are the best.
