  • The biggest gambler i know is a VP in accounting. He has been since I met him right outside of college. If anything he does make a lot more reasonable bets and finds loopholes to make the best of his bets. The thing is he keeps a spreasheet for the year to track what he spends and honestly he is almost always ahead by a lot or sometimes break even or slightly under. I have never seen him actually lose so he is a terrible example of having a gambling addiction lol. We all say he is one of the luckiest people we know which also stems from the fact that when we play poker he will almost always hit the statistically low percentage card needed to win and it’s frustrating to say the least.




  • I woke up to live news talking to someone in Iran, I think the prime minister? And they were all over him saying stuff like why are you attacking US bases? With attitude in their voice and he was flabbergasted and was like uhh you attacked us what do you expect us to do? He then said you know this right? How would you not know this and what do you expect us to do?

    The US is just a propaganda machine, im shocked they didnt just cut it when he was responding since it definitely didnt make us look good and was also very easy to tell we are the enemy.




  • Agreed, as someone married to a clearly undiagnosed horder it is tough to say the least… my only saving grace is that she really doesnt know what exists and is also semi tired of living this way so i have been clearing out rooms when she is at work (I work from home) and hope she doesn’t ask to see the garbage bags that i hide until garbage pickup. Everytime i clean when she is around she will go into the bags. I am on the side that it is all trash, but the sadder part is that a lot of it isn’t exactly junk either and did cost a lot over the years. I should be figuring out what to keep, but it’s so bad i don’t care and would rather start over from scratch than trying to figure out what can be sold to make back some of the losses. Sadly depending upon how bad OP has it he may not be able to get away with any of this, but wish him the best.




  • It will need to be an absolute necessity once AI and robotics takes more and more jobs. This should be something thats been in the works for years now so that its in place in time, but sadly no one seems to be doing anything regarding it. Personally it should still fall on those companies to pay more if they decide to go with AI and automation so they can cover the expense of the people who no longer have jobs. If the profits are not as high due to this then maybe the push towards it won’t be so high.






  • Not really. Your examples work both ways to me. You can loose typewriter stuff as well, like say you spill something all over it. For film I have heard horror stories of it not recording or the film failed so same applies to that as well. If anything stuff like word files now default to save every 5 minutes and honestly if its that important it should be saved both local and some cloud location as well.

    I think both sides have pros and cons just like everything and neither are any simpler, at least to me.
