Look, more right wing terrorism.

As we get older, our perception of time speeds up. An immortal would easily lose track of time after just two human lifetimes, causing an immortal to suffer from dementia-like symptoms where they expect one date but find themselves habitually late. And since time doesn’t mean the same thing as us to an immortal, they would eventually become disconnected from the world around them and be unable to reintegrate. They wouldn’t be able to maintain friendships, relationships, mortgages, payments, etc. They would be surrounded by people but forever alone.

Impressive consistency!

The rich use a multiparty trick to stay rich:

1. Put their money in an offshore account that doesn’t tax them based on wealth in the country. Typically the deal is the managers get some very small amounts, single digit percentages, to charge the customer for moving money in or out of the country. Then they never touch this money again unless it is an emergency.

2. The rich then use their bank account full of money as collateral for a loan that is much smaller, like a few million borrowed with a secured loan linked to the millions/billions in the account. The banks easily accept the terms because they can’t lose - if the loan defaults the amount is pulled from the account. But the rich usually try to make their payments so that account money isn’t touched.

3. The rich spend their loaned money and make payments from the dividends, annuities, funds, and/or interest on their principal amount. This way the bank gave the person money that they can spend and it’s not income so they aren’t taxed on it, unless there is a sales tax. It’s basically free money.

As they spend this free money, the government for the country that they live in doesn’t know how much money the rich person actually has so they are unable to create an accurate amount to tax them. This is partially why folks like Bezos and Buffet pay a few hundred thousand dollars on hundreds of billions in actual wealth. Stock valuations are an entirely other beast but functions roughly the same way as having wealth to borrow money against.

The rich stays rich and get free money because the banking system was made by them and they are educated by their accountants and financial advisors on how to pay the least amount of money they can to get the most out of each cent.

I bought a 1987 Cutlass Supreme and thought I had one of the best cars ever made. Except I bought it used in 2003. I learned a lot about carburetors and tightening belts that summer. The poor thing died one foggy fall day when a tractor grazed the side of it and the damage was more than the $400 the car was worth.

I grew up in a small town that didn’t have a grind house theater, but it did have a very run down drive-in theater that has grindhouse kinds of movies. I saw some regular tits out slasher movie that wasn’t memorable but the second movie was Sleepaway Camp and that ending blew my fucking mind. I still think about that movie.

Would changing its name to “eclipse decoration” make it less infuriating?

The original Night of the living Dead is way up there for vanilla zombie horror. 28 days later for modern zombies.

Thankskilling and Jack Frost for B movie holiday horror.

Italian sausage crumbles, sliced black olives, thin sliced white onion. Simple but with a rich depth of flavor.

Apple and Nvidia hate each other due to some failed business history between them. Apple didn’t like Nvidia chips failing and hurting the MacBook reputation. Nvidia didn’t like being thrown under the bus when the MacBook problem started to surface.

Since 2008/09 they have refused to even joke about doing business together.

Not as hard as it sounds — actually, it’s enough pleasurable. Below are some top warm-ups for newcomers, along with some particular stories to keep effects relatable.

This feels like it was written by AI.

He should wither and die in prison.

My brother in Christ, werewolves existed for at least 150 years and shape shifting goes back hundreds more. A beast that becomes a person… What could that possibly be for? A person becoming a beast is easy and the not weird part of folk history that didn’t upset any kind of established morals. Violence is a part of life. Hot wolf dick that escapes into the night after making sweaty sheets? More difficult to keep as an oral tradition. Well, in stories at least.

Lots of pro-russian votes and opinions in this thread. Revealing a damning piece of evidence about overt Russian interference in the American election is generating a lot of “I’m not sure that’s real” when it clearly is. That’s Russian interference working on this social platform. God knows how much it is perpetrated on larger platforms.

OP, thank you for painting this. It clearly is upsetting the Russian disinformation trolls. More please!

They are

Man, they’re so much nicer than accidental tsunami towers.

How old is your brother? How old are you? This sounds like a troll post showing the overreaction of an online audience to recommend the most extreme response because some vital details are missing.

The sanctions have contributed to a ball-bearing shortage in Russia, which has affected locomotive maintenance in the country. This has led to a rise in malfunctions on the network’s trains and an increase in the number of vehicles being suspended, Russian newspapers Vedomosti and Kommersant reported in February and March this year.

Sanctions work, just add time.

I thought no one remembered when Burnout was a puzzle game with car physics and explosions. It was criminal to turn Burnout into a full racing game.

The right must think merci beaucoup means a pleasing to look at and merciful overthrow of a government.
