  • The biggest gambler i know is a VP in accounting. He has been since I met him right outside of college. If anything he does make a lot more reasonable bets and finds loopholes to make the best of his bets. The thing is he keeps a spreasheet for the year to track what he spends and honestly he is almost always ahead by a lot or sometimes break even or slightly under. I have never seen him actually lose so he is a terrible example of having a gambling addiction lol. We all say he is one of the luckiest people we know which also stems from the fact that when we play poker he will almost always hit the statistically low percentage card needed to win and it’s frustrating to say the least.

    Once we created standards to create everything we see today it became to expensive to invest in alternative home grown solutions. Sadly with the focus of maximizing profit over innovation most ideas just revolve around the existing infrastructure in place to do what they want. I hate it as well and everything feels very stagnant.










  • That was me. Around 2009 I remember first hearing about it and trying to buy it and quickly realizing it wasnt that easy and seemed sketcky so i just said whatever… i wonder what I would have done if I did.

    My 18 was also way before (2000) this so i hope i remember it for that long. And honestly life was good up until 2009 so i wouldnt really change any of that anyway. 2009 on could have used some improvements…



  • I woke up to live news talking to someone in Iran, I think the prime minister? And they were all over him saying stuff like why are you attacking US bases? With attitude in their voice and he was flabbergasted and was like uhh you attacked us what do you expect us to do? He then said you know this right? How would you not know this and what do you expect us to do?

    The US is just a propaganda machine, im shocked they didnt just cut it when he was responding since it definitely didnt make us look good and was also very easy to tell we are the enemy.
