    Sucks that it was means tested, but hey, it's a step in the right direction. And I agree that probably there was actuary concerns that could have made this unwieldy and cost prohibitive even going from income of 125k to 150k as the previous poster mentioned. I wonder why it wasn't just 10k cut across the board no matter what. That was my expectation and hope, at least.

    I hope the means testing part is a bad translation of the rumor, I haven’t seen anything about the 125k leaked by anyone official looking, at least.

    Serious-ish kind of answer: I did something super cool and kind for someone recently and they racked their brain and couldn't think of anything and probably posted on some esoteric website of their interests, but I ended up with a $500 gift card to a luxury hotel with a spa that I could use for a stay or a spa day or dinner or whatever. I thought that was cool-- but it's been sitting unredeemed in my email and who has the time? Though a massage sounds awesome.

    When we were young we were hungry to be seen and heard and desperately make an impact which made us look naive or adorable, at best, and annoying and insufferable at worst. Let the managing director or partner run the strategy and just take notes, 25 year old. That said, I feel like it's been beaten like a dead horse, but the popular acronym WAIT needs to be a topic of new-hire onboarding: W.A.I.T. the acronym for Why Am I Talking?

    Got it, I was wrong then. It just seemed to this layman's eyes that it was the same set pieces and standard, straight out of central casting "Medieval Era" setting and they made an effort to highlight to viewers that this is nearly 200 years prior to that last Medieval Era settings you saw which looked exactly like this one.

    I’m with you, especially as we saw his cheap move against the hands son and we are led to believe he’s ruthless and doesn’t fight with complete honor. But yea his armor and helmet was dope. Weird how the “tech” is the exact same in the GoT/HoD universe. Though it’s nearly 200 years there is still the same village and building styles and designs based of same material and same weaponry. Not even a little advancement in 3 generations?

    Exactly. Just because it’s canon doesn’t mean it should be revived. It’s clearly not golden era of comics and even old school comic books had misses and bad characters and attempts.

    This show is really bad as an earnest attempt at entertainment, but also so cheesy it was kinda fun. It’s campy in that way, I guess. I’ll watch more, for now.

    This guy is well known to be a media/attention-seeking narcissist whose "$70k min. wage" was something he used for his own ego and glory (and use it he did-- at every turn and with every breath) and it was whispered he had a pattern of past abusive behavior. Clearly there was some truth to those allegations. If all you knew was his quipy tweets or linkedin posts I can see how you'd probably think it was cool. But that tells me you don't follow hilarious twitter accounts, like the one that makes fun of Dan Price daily.

    Spiderman No Way Home; Pretty mediocre. The worst of the 3 Tom Holland Spiderman movies by a country mile.

    This was the scene (the music notes) that jumped the shark for me. What a mediocre movie.

    I liked it a lot. Chris Evans was hilarious as a caricature and the premise and plot was absurd, but aren’t most Bond movies? The Bridgerton guy was the weakest link— nobody watching this believed that sissy boy was a power player. The Tamil friend was awesome (got RRR vibes— Tollywood having a moment on Netflix) The last fight scene was awesome. When Chris Evans punched Goslin’s top of his noggin with his JPP fireworks hand I laughed out loud.

    It’s a 4 day migraine and sore neck, but yea, I guess not catastrophic. But it doesn’t not suck.

    Great news. I got aseptic meningitis as a nice side effect from my first IVIG transfusions. So, the first treatment (cellcept) wouldn’t work for me because of the side effects. This was plan B. Sounds like I’ll not be a candidate due to side effects. I wonder if there is a plan C in mind with any efficacy, now.

    I thought your post was a trolling joke but then I read this, this AM: Monkeypox has been endemic in sub-Saharan Africa for decades, but this summer it’s exploded in regions where it previously hadn’t circulated. Since May, the virus has infected more than 16,000 people across more than 70 countries, according to the CDC. 99% of cases outside of Africa are men, and 98% of cases have been found in men who have sex with other men—particularly those who have multiple sexual partners, according to the WHO. The agency warned against the stigmatization of this group, and suggested that by providing information and resources targeted to the community, the outbreak could be contained.

    Cut the umbilical cord, dad. No wonder he flew halfway across the world to grow up. I kid I kid.

    So far this has gone about as bad as can be hoped for Elon which is equal parts of hilarious and cool. If anyone needed to be brought down a peg, it’s the pale emperor king.

    It’s what we in the business call “executive presence”. Remember he went to a finishing school (McK).

    There used to be 18+ dance clubs (the Italian friend will recognize a younger discotheque) where 18-19-20 year olds would go to get sweaty dancing all night. Do those places no longer exist? Lizard lounge was also a place 18 year olds would go.

    It’s insanity

    You think? I think our BIPOC friends and family will be heartbroken to find out the opposite, that a white, young, smart, man who looks like he could pass as cisgender and straight, would be a lot less hated for who he is. Of course that’s not to say the gay jokes and slurs and hateful language in Locker rooms and bar rooms won’t go to the moon.
