  Isn’t it widely known that he didn’t write the book.

  Even back when this book was published he’d already had many failed businesses so it was fairly obvious that he wasn’t the shrewd business person he claimed to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America is fucked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this is mostly your fault for letting 12-year-olds drive, which seems to be the US norm.

  Hey have you attended high school education? Great, here is a gun feel free to drive like a maniac who has no concept of lane discipline.

  Americans make the Italians look considerate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America is fucked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but they do actually just stop. If there is a siren anywhere in the area, and everyone just stops driving their car. Even when there is somewhere to go, no one ever does.

  Who’s going to buy that camera though? It’s only so you can talk to 3 other people , and none of the games that make use of it look any good.

  Have you played the game because it really sounds like you haven’t. It sounds like you’ve just seen pictures and made an assumption

  There is no gambling mechanic, other than matching poker suits there aren’t really any poker mechanics, there are no other players.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ben Starr recieves Balatro's BAFTA award in a clown costume⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t gamble anything though. Have you even played the game

  Can they provide some photos of these bankers? They must be quite something to make MEGA feel confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Universal theme park for Bedfordshire confirmed by Starmer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely heard about it before then. There was a whole argument with the local council as to a train station, can’t remember the details.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Universal theme park for Bedfordshire confirmed by Starmer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah because who wants a new employer opening up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Universal theme park for Bedfordshire confirmed by Starmer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, sod the kids. I never get to go on the swings anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Universal theme park for Bedfordshire confirmed by Starmer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hasn’t this been on the books for like 10 years now? I remember hearing about this when I was in high school

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes life choices⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was at school everyone picked criminal psychology when they didn’t know what to do. Not sure what that says about my school.

  There’s a pretty cheap studio apartment. You might want to add a zero.

  I don’t think literally anywhere in the world would this actually be considered illegal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨carlos for scale⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure he’s just been hung vertically. For we know he’s a stuffed exhibit

  Of course you don’t get giant turtles that small

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BACK OFF FELLAS, SHE'S MINE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s only one the parking lot. All the others are just a parking lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BACK OFF FELLAS, SHE'S MINE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand why whoever this is doesn’t use better photos?

  These always look like they were taking on a potato.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t arguing immigration law we’re arguing about whether or not paying your employees via remote payment services constitutes working.

  Obviously it doesn’t

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re still not paying them from a personal account so you’re not doing business. Business accounts are not tied to a person, they’re tied to the company so their example makes no sense. Also that’s not a correct interpretation of the law anyway, because obviously the law wouldn’t work like that because it would be fucking stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

  You absolutely do not need to do anything to pay your staff it’s just a standing order bank transaction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So send her home then. She’s obviously not trying to illegally live in the US so there was absolutely no reason to arrest her. The problem is they think it’s appropriate to arrest anyone they like and absolutely no one can stop them. I wouldn’t dare go to the US anymore even if I followed every single rule because they can just do whatever the hell they want to whoever the hell they want with absolute impunity.

  Obeying the letter of the law is absolutely no guarantee they won’t decide to just screw you over because they get off on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m having real difficulty convincing my mother not to go to the US. She doesn’t really pay much attention to the news and although she knows some things are going on I find it very hard to get her to understand how serious it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The last time Trump did this in his first term his tariffs ended up causing businesses to move out of the United States.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is you appear to have an IQ greater than that of 6 and so I’ll probably not a MAGA supporter. Trying to apply logic to these idiots is a waste of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also because these tariffs are so overreaching they also include component parts. So you can’t build your laptop because all of the chips are built outside the US so by being in the US you actually increase your exposure to tariffs. Outside the US you can build your laptop without having to deal with tariffs on every single component, then let Walmart pay tariffs to import.
