I guess the good thing about this thread is there's not alot of woke AOC supporters who support anything the queen does

I think most of us see the System for what it is, and understand that every member of congress is a Tier 2 player at a minimum, while the rest of us will only ever be moved around on the board (and killed) by the actual participants.

In the movie they're gonna make about this it will show super serious suits guys talking on the phone about not bidding each other up, then switch to unemployed holders playing video games and periodically checking their phones to see if the shorts are ready to buy yet.

The greatest point of contention in the movie will be which games they're playing.

If you didn't have a pair of those sennheisers I don't know what to say. It was amazing to discover that my missus owned a pair too. Still have them and the carry case upstairs in a drawer.

all this means though is that there are more boomers than genx/millennial (or not?) so as boomers soon exit then the lines should flip.

"The older population is likely to continue growing faster than the younger group."

Doesn't this mean that there are more boomers working now than ever before? Which is why every third employee at a starbucks or grocery store is old enough to be our grandmother and should be at home with their feet up and in slippers.

i just had my friends puppy over and while it was nice and made the abyss within me somewhat more manageable he also peed all over my nice moroccan carpets (i am moroccan, and i bought these carpets in Fez, where my mother was born), and idk id like to travel on short notice again one day which is bad with a pet

also my apartment is small


hate for defence contractors, weed and fighting games is all i am at this point

I went to Morocco once when I was ~25 by myself for several days and in just two of them I got a tour of the dodgy back alleys of the souks, met a guy who took me to smoke hookah then tried to get me to buy hash and then needed loads of money to pay off the cops who caught him buying the drugs, who ultimately left me with a turtle, got a drat henna on my arm against my will then had to pretend my atm card was broken when the girl's mom demanded i pay something insane like 40euro for my skinstain, and followed me to the bank, spent 4 hours in the sun by the pool, watched the sky turn red from a dust storm, and got sun burns so bad i was bedridden for my last day and my entire body shed for the next two weeks. then when i got back to work after all that i found out one of my workmate/exroommate's sister had a vacation place in the middle of Marrakesh i could have stayed in the whole time. Well worth it.

Honestly if you're not ready for the Rainbow Road at 150cc, I wouldn't recommend driving on acid, but concerts and arboretums have closing hours and that poo poo lasts 9 hours on average, so...

The feeling of getting behind the wheel when you're not supposed to is the feeling I had starting a Robin Hood account a couple weeks ago, during the GME Waaaugh. Thank God I never completed the sign-up process - it took RH a full week for them to update their UI for me so I could actually cancel my initial money deposit/transfer.

Okay but driving on a bit of acid is great, especially for long hauls through the american wilderness. You know just enough to make the wildflowers easy to see.

I like the way you all think. Good thinkers up there.
Driving becomes such a subconscious thing that your brain can do a fine job of getting you somewhere on the highway without needing to engage critical thought; We've all arrived at work with no memory of the journey. Anyone who drives regularly drives miles and miles without any thought about what they're doing, and they're surrounded by drunks.
Take the edge off all that with a little bit of something that helps you see the rainbows in the clouds. :shobon:

This and the Brits losing their mobile roaming in the EU are the best stories so far. The economist had an article about Brits losing roaming and said it was good because the British telecoms would make more money and be able to offer consumer choice lol

Someone years ago did a stand-up bit about british tourists going places, not speaking any of the language, trying to buy cigarettes, and just yelling, "Have you got any fags?!!" louder and louder. I love thinking about them coming back home to an £800 phone bill. :allears:

what the gently caress does that even mean

You buy shares in a company that is nothing but a collection of money, with the expressed purpose to use that money and purchase/merge with a company that already exists, taking it public.

But what company? How will they make money? What happens after merger and public offering?

part of the reason why most slot machines have been "1 cent per reel" for over a decade is to obfuscate the fact that players are gambling a dollar or two per spin as well as justify the payouts being insultingly low

the trick with a penny slot is to go in with $20 to spend, flag the alcohol server down from the high roller section and order two drinks at a time, and then bet a 9c spread across all possible positions. then you leave 2 hrs later with your $10.

one time I did this on my birthday and hit the second to top jackpot. $50 on 9c. could have been 50,000 on $1.20, but I’d have been broke long before if I’d been playing that way.
