Winning! Hell yeah!

Another reason to avoid American women: all too many are almost-rabid anti-sex prudes these days. And if you say you want something as normal as a healthy sexual relationship you’ll get the fucking stupid, “MEN ONLY CARE ABOUT SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111” horseshit. Not nearly as true in other countries, by the way!

So odd, though. Those prudes don’t care about any of the other just-as-real and just-as-valid dealbreakers you have. For some reason those are not singled out for you being terrible and creepy. Despite the fact that I personally also wouldn’t accept someone with tattoos, or who tormented waitresses or serving staff. So who is really obsessed with sex here? To me it looks like it’s not men at all.

Our society is broken.

United, Delta and American Airlines issue global ground stop on all flights.

It appears CrowdStrike (a cybersecurity company) issued some sort of bad update and brought down half the world. Damn, glad I sold their stock recently.

I feel bad for the intern who pushed that update.

What was your biggest salary increase?

Got an 83% salary bump going to work for a FAANG, and I already had a high salary. Kept that when I went and did something else that didn’t suck as much.

Lord, you motherfuckers are bad at math. One billion is 0.1% of a trillion. Nowhere even close to 10 percent. (Yes, I know he said “not even 10 percent,” but he meant that $1.65 billion is close to but not quite 10% of $1.77 trillion. When in reality it is precisely 0.0932% of $1.77 trillion. Quite a different thing.)

And I’m supposed to be the one bad at math. Pathetic.
