Back in 1988 I had a school project with a few people, one of whom came from a wealthy family. The project was regarding the stock market, and each team was given a certain amount of imaginary money to invest, to see who would win out at the end of the semester. My friend with the wealthy family came back with a recommendation from his father, of course, and we won the contest easily.

The recommendation? Put all our funds into Berkshire Hathaway.

I had the golden goose egg right in front of me and never invested a dime.

I only use Chrome on my work computers for this reason. That being said, google steals the wrong information and it's from a company, I know they've got deeper pockets than me to make them rue the day.

Came here to say this. If I had an AI buddy that could do all sorts of stuff for me and talk about history all day with me on long drives while making sure I was perfectly safe and secure and basically be my best artificial friend...

I'd be riding that train.

Deepest condolences. The Hospitaliers were where I sent my donations as soon as the war broke out and I've been following them for some time.

It takes special people to do what they do every day and I think all of us will only pray harder for their continued safety.

Slava Ukraini.

I liked the latest D&D movie a lot, but I guess that doesn't technically count.

The people seem to have forgotten that their capitalist overlords can only overlord because of the money we give them and let's be fair, most of those purchases are stupid crap to give us a seratonin boost. All I'm tryin ta say is I also get a seratonin boost every time their stocks crash because of a poor earnings report, so let's all just not buy stuff for awhile.

Instead of No Nut November let's try a No Sales September or something

I recently found an Egg Shen's Six Demon Bag t-shirt and I wear it proudly.

There's all kinds of ways to find your people. This is mine.

When one of your soldiers is worth ten of theirs, you know you've won this exchange.

Most of hacking is done by mass effort with maybe a couple percent of people that aren't doing basic things to protect themselves being affected. That couple of percent is enough to keep the hackers flush. (So please, follow basic cybersecurity steps, people.)

The plain truth of the matter, though, is that if a hacker or group of hackers is targeting someone individually for reasons, that person is in real trouble.

This has been a PSA for everyone chasing fame and clout.
