Forgive me for invoking Godwin’s law, but it is relevant. El Popa here behaved exactly in the same monstrous actions as Nazi Doctor Josef Mengel. Had this article been about Josef Mengel, and I said this about Nazis instead of Abrahamic cul

A television which spies on you and can be with you 24/7/365? Every parent I know gives up by age 10 and YouTube becomes their childrens’ babysitters. No more childhood, just consumption until the day we die.

My k-8 years started at 06:42, 9-12 started at 07:30. I guess the logic was that we got older we didnt need our parents to dress us. I made a deal with most of my 9-12 teachers: I wouldn’t show up and make their lives hell but I would get A

It will be garbage, just another spam avenue. I’ve received over 3,500 “InMail”s and connection requests in my last year of unemployment. Maybe 6 of them were worth accepting. The rest were just incompetent headhunters, mostly from one of f

If you can get Mohammed BoneSaw and his family to visit the bridge so I can blow it up, I mean, take pictures, I’d sell for $100m.

Why would someone expect cryptocurrencies to be fun? It’s fintech. Money isn’t fun, it’s money.
