@taliatism 🥱🥱🥱🥱 tired take

aave is regional like i’m not gonna say Jawn instead of Shorty bc i’m not from fucking georgia so it baffles me that some nonblack ppl think it’s okay to use words they have never used at all and bastardized aave. u from Turkey not Chicago

@JasonPynn @yo Fired for not being a culture fit

@yo Counterpoint: many of us don’t want to go drink, and presuming we do is disrespectful. And, because many abstain for reasons of alcoholism or abuse trauma, it’s suuuuuuuper disrespectful. Let’s skip the bar.

No, your employees don’t want to go to an escape room Just go to a bar and open a tab

@lo_lifee0 Everyone knows bro

The New York Knicks employ a sexual assaulter and yall got NOTHING to say

@mondoggg Just take him on a weekend adventure, just you two

My son told my wife today that he doesn’t love me because I don’t spend as much time with him as she does. I’m the sole income earner in our family of four and try to never work between 5pm and his bed time, and walk him to school every morning. What’s even the point of working this hard if your kids don’t even like you.

@Bigqadi Real answer is actually the 3 point shot

the league used to be black as hell, wonder what the turning point was

@catgirlism5 This is kinda based

Co worker from california uses Apple maps with NYC angled like this

@ElvisAP1935 @kylecorwintakes Knicks/Mets/Islanders

@kylecorwintakes What if there’s two teams of the same sport? Don’t disagree though.

Unpopular opinion: Major sports teams in the same city should adopt the same color scheme because it's objectively way better than not

@girlcloudnine I guarantee you are a transplant lol

Less people are opening the emergency exit to let people into the subway now and I hate it. Do your fucking duty as a new yorker!!!!

@gmoneyNFT @gigiialc Lmaooo

@gigiialc You’re not even applying the right logic. She’s talking about heading economic data, not hedging payroll liabilities lol

Payroll hedging is one of the most interesting use cases for prediction markets. Every October a big tech CFO locks in next year's payroll budget across many teams. Then inflation hits and makes cost of living higher -> engineers want raises, recruiting gets expensive, and suddenly you're millions over budget with no plan. So what the CFO can do is buy a Kalshi contract that pays out if inflation is higher than expected. If inflation comes in higher than expected the payout offsets the increase and if it doesn't only the small premium they paid from the start is lost. A known cost you planned for is always better than a surprise one you didn't, and big companies care about this because locking in certainty is worth paying for.

@WifiMoneyPlant Doesn't it make more sense to take the 0% for 60 or so months and just pay it in full after that?

Biggest "the kids are fucked" moment I've had recently was buying a car Walked into the dealership, told them what I wanted and said I'd pay up-front. Expected them to be thrilled Instead they were horrified. Spent the next 20 minutes trying to get me to finance it at some absurd rate Got me curious so after I left I read about car sale profit models. Apparently most US dealerships make more financing now than from the cars themselves I was such a boomer I assumed they'd want CASH In reality they want your ETERNAL SLAVERY at 19% APR

@spacepunk @_tommy_jay_1776 @coolingpickney He just means they did dmt or acid lol. No need to vague post

@_tommy_jay_1776 @coolingpickney Everyone calls it something different, which is observable even just in the comments of this post x.com/i/status/20406…

Compared to my knowledge of other religions, I know next to nothing about Islam, but just seeing this and other Islamic works, it is very clear they have also Seen The Thing

@MarketPalmer_ The reality is that if you abstract all financial noise from the equation 99/100 people would choose for their kids to be home with a family member until at least the age of 3 I feel horrible whenever I see a friend putting their 6 month old in an all day day care

ME: Daycare is expensive, but worth it. THEM: Why would you pay to have someone else raise your kids? ME: They're not raising my kids, they're taking care of them while we work. THEM: One of you should quit your job so you aren't handing your kids off to strangers each day. ME: They're not strangers, they're professionals. And we'd have even less money if one of us stayed at home with the kids. THEM: It shouldn't be about money, it should be about bonding with your kids. ME: Kids need bonding with more than just their parents. Their daycare teachers and other kids at daycare are some of their best friends, and they're excited to go each day. THEM: You're letting them get indoctrinated by today's education system and propaganda. ME: They're literally learning colors, the ABCs, and how to count to 10. THEM: Some parents just don't want to be parents! ME: *stops arguing with a wall*

@allovernyk 3. Mike Brown has no idea what he's doing

2 things are true: 1. The ball movement looked so much better without Jalen Brunson tonight 2. The Knicks need Jalen Brunson to win a championship

@thefinnmckenty @Z0GB0T A&F still makes pretty quality stuff. Only stuff with no logo is worth buying though

@Z0GB0T Nope. Inflation is too crazy now.

Found some shirt designs I did at Hollister ~2011. Working there was...... really hard, to say the least. Lots of times where you find out at 4pm that you have to redesign an entire 5 SKU package to show the CEO at 9am the next morning, etc. But I'm EXTREMELY proud of the work we all did. The brand was on top of the world back then, and it was legit the highest quality product anyone has ever made, at any price point. An $80 Abercrombie hoodie from back then is a way, way higher quality product than a $1k Balenciaga hoodie now - no joke. Very, VERY hard place to work. But I'm glad I did it. To this day it's by FAR the most talented design team I've ever seen, and it permanently raised my standards for what "good" looks like.

@guerilla_boy @JWhitebread1 Trump was buddies with Shinzo so I doubt this is true

@JWhitebread1 Yeah, Trump doesn’t look at her as his equal. Speaking as an American, living in Japan. He may have meant it as a joke; but he still looks down on her and Japan. That POS doesn’t respect anyone but himself. He just sees something he wants.

Okay, I think I need to explain something to any Japanese listeners. In American culture, very close friends often express affection through a practice we call "giving grief" or less delicately, "bustin' balls." We insult each other, make inappropriate comments at the other's expense, often at very inappropriate times, etc. It is frankly, one of the surest signs of trust and closeness between equals. We wouldn't do this with someone who WASN'T a very close friend and confidant. You see this more amongst men, and more in informal situations. Admittedly, you don't see it much in professional settings, and it almost never appears in international diplomacy, BUT, Trump is built different. I have no doubt, that's how Trump meant it. It's too on the nose to be anything else. He's trying to say, we respect you and admire you greatly, and we can banter like this, because we are equals. The correct response is to utterly ROAST or insult your friend back in response. This can even evolve into what is called a "game of dozens" which is a friendly contest to see you can insult their friend with the best, most scathing insult. I think I will stop before I have to explain "Your Momma" jokes, but I think you can get the gist. Please feel free to utterly destroy America with a clever insult in response.

@djvlad @iyoolar Are you retarded?

@iyoolar 100% false. A loan against your stock portfolio is WAY lower than any bank mortgage I've seen. Houses can fluctuate in value. When you borrow against your stock portfolio, the stock brokerage is holding your total amount already, hence the lower interest rate.

Here's a way better way to buy a house than getting a bank mortgage. Instead of putting a big down payment, take that money and invest it in great stocks for 10 years. During that time, rent a place to stay. For anyone who thinks you're throwing money away by renting, keep in mind that almost the entire mortgage payment you pay during that time is going to the bank's interest, not the principal. Your rent will probably be less than your mortgage payment + property tax + repairs. So use that extra money to buy more stocks. After 10 years, take a loan out against your stock portfolio and buy your house in cash. You will now own the house outright and have the deed - unlike getting a mortgage, where the bank holds the deed. Your loan rate will be WAY lower than a mortgage rate because it's secured by your stock portfolio. Also, you don't have to pay back the loan on a monthly schedule. You can pay it back at your own pace, or don't pay it back and let the interest accrue on the loan. You never have to worry about the bank taking your house if you miss a few mortgage payments like a bank loan. After it's all done, you own a house outright with a loan to yourself, and you never sold your stock portfolio, which keeps appreciating. BTW, that's exactly what I did.

@BurdenBurner Ran out of tokens midway thru

An actual MLB team posted this as a “plan” for their new stadium.

@flabbytofit99 I've never once treated my kids like this. You are likely just a shitty dad and/of person.

One night I was putting my son to bed. He was maybe 5 or 6. It had been a long day and I was done with his behavior. Completely done. So I let out my frustration in a vicious cut down and closed his door. We had a sound monitor. My wife heard it from our bedroom. As I walked past she stopped me: "I know you're annoyed, but is that how you want to end the day with him?" I walked back in. Apologized. Told him I shouldn't have said that. He forgave me right away. But here's what I realized: I wasn't disciplining him. I was using him as my emotional punching bag. Releasing MY stress by dumping it on a 5-year-old who couldn't fight back. And the worst part? It wasn't about him at all. I was exhausted. Out of shape. Running on 5 hours of sleep. I had nothing left in the tank so I took it out on my kid. That's not parenting. That's being a coward. HERE'S WHAT I LEARNED: Your kids aren't your therapist. They're not your stress relief. They're not there to absorb your bad day. When you snap at them because YOU'RE tired, YOU'RE stressed, YOU'RE overwhelmed? You're teaching them: • Their feelings don't matter • They're responsible for your emotions • Love comes with conditions That one moment? My son probably doesn't remember it. But if I made it a pattern? He'd carry that into adulthood. THE FIX ISN'T COMPLICATED: Stop blaming your kids for your lack of self-control. If you're constantly losing it on them, the problem isn't them. It's you. You're: • Not sleeping enough • Not taking care of your body • Not managing your stress • Not creating margin in your life You can't pour patience from an empty cup. Get in shape. Sleep more. Create space in your day. Because your kids deserve a dad who's regulated. Not one who uses them as a pressure valve.

@TheAtomicBagel @thecurioustales Unless the contract is to a corporation

The science argument here is mostly correct. The real story it misses is the business model problem. Alcor charges $28k up front but revival is the product nobody can price, guarantee, or deliver. You are pre-paying an unlimited IOU to an organization that has to survive centuries without a revenue model for its core promise. The ceiling on cryonics isn't biology. It's that the company holding your head has no legal obligation to a person who doesn't legally exist. The contract died when you did.

🚨 You can currently pay $28,000 to have your severed head stored indefinitely in liquid nitrogen and it is completely legal. Yes, those facilities exist. Alcor in Arizona. The Cryonics Institute in Michigan. Real buildings, real staff, real bodies suspended at minus 196 degrees Celsius, waiting for a civilization advanced enough to do what ours currently cannot. 300 corpses are sitting in liquid nitrogen tanks right now, legally dead, bought by people who refused to accept that death was the final word. Most people laugh at this. And that laughter is worth examining. Every generation in human history has had a hard ceiling on what medicine could reverse. Cardiac arrest was once a death sentence with no asterisk. Drowning victims stayed dead. Premature infants had no survival window whatsoever. The ceiling kept moving because the definition of “irreversible” was never fixed by biology. It was fixed by technology available at that moment in time. Cryonics is essentially a bet that death itself belongs in that same category. In my humble opinion,the scientific argument is not resurrection. Nobody serious in cryonics claims we can currently revive these people. The argument is information preservation. The brain encodes identity, memory, and personality as physical structure, as the precise pattern of 86 billion neurons and their trillions of connections. Biological decay destroys that pattern permanently. Freezing, if done fast enough with the right cryoprotectants replacing cellular water, preserves the structure before information loss becomes total. Whether preserved structure can ever be read, repaired, and rebooted is the open question that either makes this the most forward thinking thing a human being can do or the most expensive grieving ritual ever invented. What nobody talks about is the legal absurdity sitting underneath all of it. These 300 people are classified as dead. Their estates are settled. Their identities are legally extinguished. If the technology to revive them existed tomorrow, no framework on earth governs what they would be, who they would own, or whether their old life could be reclaimed. The science is strange. The law is completely unprepared. And somewhere in Arizona, the tanks keep humming.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Your thoughts?
