You’re a lot weaker than every gorilla, though.
That matters.
- Comment on Who would win in a fight, a Gorilla or a Bear of equal weight? 17 hours ago:
+1 to gorillas and no one else considering the intellect part.
Like, guys. Humans are weak. We rule the world.
I think bear can win on brute force, but, as soon as the gorilla sees the attack for what it is and considers a way to counter, the bear is toast.

- Comment on welp, Patreon just destroyed my stable income after a decade on the platform - what now 2 days ago:
“Hey guys come catch all my new videos on my own website”
Put the old stuff on YouTube, FB, insta, tiktok, and encourage traffic to your site.
Profit.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 5 days ago:
Send separate emails. Schedule them 15 minutes apart.
- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 5 days ago:
In some states, after a year lease is fulfilled, if no future negotiations are made, the lease becomes a month-to-month contract.
Even still, not only is there no way that you have to pay for May or June without having signed anything, you very likely provided them with some kind of sign on collateral like most lease deals require, like first and last month’s rent, plus security deposit, something like that. That should all be coming back to you.

Vermont and Texas are allowed, they never signed.
- Comment on Does it make sense to persue higher education after 40 years ood? 1 week ago:
Sounds affordable. Im not a financial advisor but it sounds like a sound investment. I say do it.
- Comment on Does it make sense to persue higher education after 40 years ood? 1 week ago:
Literally depends on finances. As an investment? I would say no.
Is an employer paying for it? 100% worth it. Do you have your finances covered such that retirement’s not going to be an issue in your older age? Absofucking really. Do it.
Higher education is expensive. It also depends on what you want to study. Is it something you can feasibly study yourself for a cheaper cost, do projects and prove yourself to employers?
Like if your neck is above water and you’re thinking about studying computer science right now… I recommend like a thousand good YouTube videos instead. Genuine passion, a build-it attitude, that will save you some money and probably go further in the long run…
The higher education will never hurt. It will only hurt you financially. It won’t guarantee a return.

You know they can do that themselves, right?

- Comment on Found money. What do? 1 week ago:
Yeah, if it was just naked cash, no envelope, no wallet, no indication of who it belongs to?
If I lost money in that fashion, I know it is gone.

You can use Fibonacci to approx km/mi
300 km is like 200 mi.
(More like 180)
But still, approx works. 300 kmh is like 200 mph. Closer to 180 mph.

Complex ideas often get boiled down into slang or jargon - shortcuts to describe something hard to articulate. When people connect with that shortcut, they reuse it. The process repeats.
Like in baseball - if there’s a runner on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, we just say the “bases are loaded.”
“Bases loaded” quickly conveys the full situation. That phrase caught on.
Like what?
Like wildfire.
How did it spread?
Like wildfire. Wildfires spread fast, in every direction, and nothing really stops them. You could say it went viral.
Viral?
Yeah - viral.
Viral how?
Well… like a virus.
See?
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been posting and reposting my little “Eggsecution” short story everywhere I see eggs come up in politics.
I’m hoping the egg economy goes tits up, we have the great American egg famine, and then once rid of the impending bird flu pandemic, egg economy goes the other way, and the masses just toss Donnie and Elmo into a concrete pit and pelt the. with eggs until they’re drowning in broke shells and egg yolk.
“Eggs. Eggs. Eggs.”
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
It’s going to take a unifying event that is unifyingly abhorrent.
Until that show drops, no movement will take enough momentum with it.
Wait until a Mayors daughter gets sent to gitmo for protesting at college. Wait until the social security checks bounce. Wait until the next viral George Floyd police killing.
The tension is simmering.

- Comment on What is everyone's favoured domain name provider these days? 3 weeks ago:
Ditto on namecheap.
I will say that while GoDaddy is awful for web hosting their VPS customer service is like a VIP queue, and they’re great. Not the cheapest. I only keep GoDaddys shit webhosting because I have their VPS as well and I save a bit that way.

That might sound backwards but it isn’t
Squirrels and raccoons will rummage, and disperse trash. There is t much you can do about that beyond 1. Harm wildlife or 2. Reduce trash.

I mean…
So do 1/10th of that. 100k pays for itself in 7 years? Still have 9/10 of your land to play with.
Just a thought. turnkey operations are geist for land ownership.

If you can’t be happy alone, a partner won’t change that.
That’s like being unhappy, while having all your bills paid and other financial needs met, and thinking $1M is gonna change things. It won’t.

Good luck. I guarantee your failure. 🙂
- Comment on Dozens of spam messages daily now 4 weeks ago:
A point of pride that I have a 5 character email address with no numbers. A Gmail account I got with an invite back when… Invites.
Spamless. Granted, I have setup shell emails that forward to it etc. it’s well guarded.

Recoverable. And this makes your situation a lot, lot worse.
- Comment on At what point in the friendship does dating become awkward? 1 month ago:
Idk every friendship is different. As everyone is saying a successful or healthy relationship is gonna require you and your partner to be friend-like when you’re not being otherwise intimate.
So with that I’d say really never, but it’ll always be awkward if only one if you had an interest in that.
