- sircastor 2y agoI remember listening to a morning radio show and one of their contest radio lines was “we’re giving away… dollars-worth of prizes”
- xanderlewis 2y agoSounds like RSK-era XFM. If anyone here knows…

- vundercind 2y agoRelatedly, there used to be a radio ad for a local company that bragged “serving [city] for over a twentieth of a century”
- fuzzfactor 2y agoI took great pride in being a self-made thousandaire before I got any further. If you want to be a millionaire, even if it's realistically a bit beyond the horizon, maybe it does make sense to focus on ever higher goals which are way beyond the horizon for everybody, like becoming a billionaire. For one thing if you don't make it all the way (which everybody knows is unlikely) it still could be pretty good. In that sense, the higher the goals the better. But beyond the horizon it's a very indefinite goal to zero in on, in an uncertain direction that can not be accurately visualized. It can be good to have a north star if you're trying to be a millionaire or billionaire, but if it leads you in a direction that does not include a thousandaire pit stop, I would question whether it was really true north or not.
