Before covid, your employer used to force everyone to go vegetarian on Wednesday.
Never forgive, never forget.
When I was young, I told a friend how I was barely getting by with my weekly food budget.
He laughed, saying it was 2x what he was and shouldn’t complain.
Comes out he was just stealing by ringing everything up as bananas.
This lesson applies to all advice people give you.
Can someone explain why there are so many Mexicans visiting Japan right now? They’re all visiting fifa friends, right?

1/ Huge respect for Dragonfly continuing to invest in the bear market.
But I'm morally obliged to call out sketchy projects gaining momentum.
As a community we must preempt large scale implosions like #FTX or #LUNA that set the industry back years
Bitget may be the next FTX 🧵
I'm thrilled to announce @dragonflyvc's investment in @BitgetGlobal.
Bitget is making crypto more accessible with its innovative derivatives products and a user-centric approach, and we're proud to support their mission and growth.

Ethereum is the best chain for the most credibly neutral and truthful oracle system and prediction markets.
Glad to see that Ethereum L1 will have a new strong prediction market contender that is dedicated to decentralization, and being ethical and not corposlop, and to actually trying to do interesting and meaningful things with this class of economic primitive.

The “You can just do things” people are always the same breed that move to Japan and ruin everything.
What nobody warns you about SEO: Your emails immediately start getting flooded with bot-spam now that you’re on their radar.

> It requires an app
> Company shutdown 2 years ago so app is gone
From now on, I’m rejecting any non-analog gifts.

I think a key barrier to this is that most people don’t have the vocab to properly describe the property they’re seeking.

Didn’t work because the teachers always ended up rigging the election to play something nobody voted for but that they wanted.

Is that base salary or does this include the income from my meth empire as well?

This is hard to explain to people born out of cram schools.
Forcing yourself to grind something you hate will make you B-tier at something you’re not drawn to. They’re only chasing status which peaks very early as a motivator until it’s just emotional baggage.

Lol, that shit ain’t enforceable. Even then, your landlord can’t afford to collect.
I’d be more worried about what this indicates about their future behavior if they’re already this sneaky.
College orientation week, people from PNC came to help students set up bank accounts. Only students without one would talk to them.
That debit card became a walking advertisement: “I have never used a bank before.”
Class signifiers are subtle like that and no one will tell you.
I imagine this is like those old school asmr videos meant to train awkward boys to make continuous eye-contact.
Ai-garry doesn’t say a word, but he also doesn’t blink. He just slowly frowns at you the longer you stay in the booth.

My college roommate used to play FIFA with only Mexican announcers. He was Polish and didn’t understand a word. But understood their soul.

I challenge anyone to draw the Mexican flag by hand and see if they can do better than the Qing Dynasty.
