  1. I can imagine ole Ross on his back daydreaming about this day and wondering if it would ever come while listening to his celly making hooch or crunching up ramen for lunch. 13 years will harden and institutionalize anyone. A brilliant mind, hardened by 13 years of incarceration, and with 600 million dollars....the world is an oyster, if there ever was an application for that saying.
  2. I think he means this: “Free Ross” was a slogan in support of Ulbricht heard at conventions for the Libertarian Party and the cryptocurrency industry, two groups that campaigned for Trump during the presidential election. In a speech at the Libertarian Party National Convention last May, Trump said, “If you vote for me, on day one, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht.” The party opposes criminal drug policies and viewed Ulbricht’s arrest as a government overstep.
  3. someone write a prompt and get an LLM to process all the information and write us a nice one page memo of the juciest tea. I'm sure there is something juicy, right?
  4. This is me.
  5. Not saying this isn't true and that we shouldn't believe Ann, but isn't Sam Altman gay? I don't think I've ever heard of a gay man sexually assaulting a woman or girl, but I'm sure it happens because we are a sick people, us humans.
  6. Once you get past the inanity of invading Greenland and Panama I think a motive starts to emerge for these things and it increasingly looks like it's to fortify for a world war 3. CNN did a write up giving the history and suggesting some of the strategic rationale and I thought this write up was enlightening if nothing else: https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/americas/panama-canal-trump-threat-intervention-intl-latam/index.html
  7. I read this today and not sure I am understanding why it unfolded as it did. Seems like a clearcut win for Biden to have already done it and not gave Trump any low hanging fruit to call a quick win in his first 100 days that is bipartisan and a majority of Americans agree with. Feels like an unforced error to give orange man a win here (reminding me of the tiktok saga):
  8. Apologies then. You are cool!
  9. If you act foul, you get two shots and one, haha I'm at your face like Lancôme, haha You Chiefs softer than Roseanne's son, heh You cannot reach me on my Samsung
  10. RIP Lyn Ban
  11. It's never not been cool
  12. He's a card-carrying democrat and one of the ones who repeated the talking points that marginalized bernie and the progressives in favor of Hildog, if memory serves. So, long way of saying, your point checks out.
  13. Same. bought a truck because I feared the prices will skyrocket with tariffs (also, january is the best month to get a good deal as the market floods with hand-to-mouth buyers who rely on tax returns starting Feb and going into summer, in case anyone was looking).
  14. It's a gift, really....
  15. Which you raise an interesting point. You always hear the old saw, "the first million is the hardest..." I guess if you can do it once, it makes it easier to repeat. So while technically make the first $1m/year is hard no matter what, at some point you can start betting on the 6, 7, and 8's instead of trying to roll box cars or snake eyes? That's how I'm viewing it at least.
  16. It's the lip-biting for me. It was a sexual thrill for this deviant to thrust that arm.
  17. I wonder if all this (Trump 2.0 and everything that has transpired the last, let's say, 100 days) could have been avoided if we as a country took a less hardline approach to the vaccinations back in 2021. Hindsight being 20/20 and all, I do wonder if the outcomes would have been materially or statistically significantly different if the NEVER-VAXERS and Vax-Anxious didn't feel "forced" to take it. I think most people who had even small reservations were like me in that they still got or would get the jab.
  18. Right. Which I think the same person (or similiar) mentioned "good luck ever seeing your family except on two luxury vacations a year".
  19. That's a great answer and thought. Taxes alone must be about $300k based on what I experienced (30.1%). That's a lot of taxes and does seem like doing it the hard way.
  20. Talk about lottery ticket winner odds when looking at how many positions versus population. More likely to get into Stanford as a D student or get a Chick Fila franchise as an unhoused person than get the $1mm salary coach of one of the 32 teams in the NFL (or 50+ of big monied D1 schools).
  21. My specialist is a woman and I trust her and she's so awesome. I can't imagine, man or female, anyone better and think there is no small chance that her care is why I'm doing as well as I'm doing!
