The neville chamberlin of america

Removed by mod

In early 1980s, driving to the mall right before Christmas with girlfriend and her mom in their ancient huge Caddilac. It’s a zoo. Girlfriend’s mom consipates the whole parking garage by driving poorly and gridlocking the place. People are honking and yelling at her. She hangs out the window and yells, in a strong Fran Drescher accent: “YOU DON’T HAVE THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!”

What most of the commenters are missing is that the assumption that one has to know how to gamble in order to have a retirement is a broken and stupid USA thing. Nobody should be forced to learn these things in order to not end up on the street. OP clearly has no idea what they are doing-- and so many comments point this out with varying degrees of rudeness, smugness, and shitty attitude-- but the point should be that we are feeding naive investors like these to the lions and that is morally wrong and collectively shortsighted. We all suffer as a society because people like this are being required to make investment decisions and doing that really poorly.

The whole what?

I remember 10 years or so ago working with a guy who was trying to sell me on the wonders of Eclipse. “It writes all this boilerplate for you!” I was more interested in writing in languages that were less shit and required less boilerplate.

Exactly the same way they do it IRL and have forevee. Bust someone trusted, make them wear a wire, bust someone higher up that way.

Fun in this thread to identify who is a white man by whether they’d even consider being safe visiting the past

Stileproject had its moments too

It was an actual book in the 80s! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Men_Don't_Eat_Quiche

Ye bastard!

The first one never ended, just went into a cold phase. Heated up a bit in the 50s and 60s and has been getting a lot hotter the last 10 years or so

Updoot for chesticles

Devops is going the way of qa too.

This is the first rule of sales. It is not important or necessary to be the best. It is only necesaary to be slightly less shitty than your nearest competitor.

A sea lion gave it to me
