@0xMerp I am also in this hell and it ruins a lot b/c i wake up at 1 A.M fully alert take on the world alert and 2 p.m I’m struggling to be awake

@pierre_koutani I don't know everything, but a similar idea, is that prey animals put on big displays, and predators put on deep camouflage. One is trying to conceal vulnerability, one is trying to conceal capability, the action oriented, act in a way that compliments that action

@wigger Been saying this to ppl IRL for ever, it is not a game. I knew dozens of people who experimented with this as a way to "increase consciousness" and only increased the torment, and misery in their lives long term. The mischaracterization of these drugs as a positive is heinous.

Do Not fuck with this shit or anything like this, ever

LSD can open you to delusions. Be careful with "microdoses" being promoted lately. Experiments at Blake College were likely together with niacin, which can block most of LSD's (pro-serotonin) effects. Mentioned in Peat's Biophysical Approach to Consciousness, 1972, & Hoffer, 1956

@NBA2KMobile What about the servers? I think that should be the number one priority, then everything else should follows…

@Leonardaisfunny Like many others have said yandex is the only working one, I imagine all their censorship is aimed at internal affairs which most westerners aren't searching for.

@alex_avoigt People seem to ignore including gates, that buffet invests with monopoly money from insurance premiums backed by tax payers. He can be conservative b/c he has a never ending supply of money he didn't raise, and people he doesn't answer to.
English

After Bill Gates became friends with Warren Buffett, he began to diversify his portfolio and sold Microsoft shares.
Bill Gates' fortune today is 138 billion dollars, if he hadn't diversified it would be 1.33 trillion dollars.
Be careful with diversification and with friends who recommend it.

@SteveMathis @sweatystartup They swear it's cleaner, it truly isn't. Not to be grotesque, but every girl I've met who was a bidet purist, had a dirtier rear- than the one's committed to toilet paper. The water feeling is a sensory deception.
English

@sweatystartup Some of these just make me sad. A bidet changed their life? I think they need a better life lol

@seandsweeney The problem is how committed many of these people are to the façade, they go overboard with fake testimonials, and cross promoting with other frauds to back each other up. There's an entire ecosystem of these guys, and legitimate ppl support them, to be "popular"

@jkubicki @SMB_Attorney Maybe not full athlete level trading, but being a recruiter in any high paid industry isn't a bad gig.
English

@SMB_Attorney Don't judge me but I always thought it would be a great business to trade elite lawyers like free agent athletes.
Challenge is that the current lateral market is based on nothing more than conversations and impressions rather than evaluation and data.

Most people don’t realize that the legal profession is the land of “haves and have nots” based almost entirely off educational pedigree.
Most lawyers starting salaries range between $45k and $90k.
Another select group (the spike on the far right of the chart), starts at $215k on what’s called the “Cravath Scale” (the elite big law pay scale typically set by Cravath).
To be a part of the coveted Cravath Scale group, you almost *have to* go to a top-14 law school.
Why 14 schools? Historical pedigree stuff (see the Wikipedia excerpt). Who knows?
In the absence of a top-14 pedigree, to get a good ROI from your legal education, you need to go to a respected regional school (where you want to practice) on a *big* scholarship.
I don’t care what anyone says (especially those citing silly anecdotes about one-off success stories), if you don’t do either of these things, you’ll probably pay dearly.
Most law students don’t realize any of this until it’s too late!

@commentiquette You try to search a normal long form video, and instead you get some clip designed to entertain a 12 year old, and it tries to hide the video, by trapping you into some vertical format torture zone that it doesn't want you to escape. Even on Desktop.

@realEstateTrent 11 years old went door to door, at apartment complexes offering to take the trash out for $5 a week. Even had misspelled contracts for them to sign. I had 30 customers in a week and had to enlist my friends for help servicing them.

@OwenGregorian @elonmusk @ScottAdamsSays Something tells me despite, my airy fairy ideals, Hong Kong will be a safer, more financially attractive place to live.
English

@elonmusk @ScottAdamsSays Perhaps Hong Kong’s policies will make a good A/B test. They have 7-year jail terms for heroin, cocaine, and now even CBD.
