Crypto is just a modern-day pyramid scheme.

Some may get rich and serve as examples of why others should join, some may break even, but the vast majority of those participating will lose.

In the end, the only winning move is not to play.

Fuck. Social media in general is bad enough. You’re telling me they’re going to get even more unstable?

Education is everyone’s domain. It is never too late to learn new things.

I work 5 days a week and game, and I have multiple mice that are 20+ years old and still working. (Microsoft Intellimouse FTW.)

My job revolves around hardware and lifecycle in a corporate environment. If you’re killing a mouse in 18 months, in my opinion, it is either an extraordinary shitty cheap mouse that shouldn’t have passed QA and you should be complaining to the vendor, or you bought solely because it was cheap expecting greatness, or you’re abusing it to the point of failure. Even the cheap OEM mice will easily last 5 years.

If one genuinely uses a mouse that much, then I would leverage the Harbor Freight rule — buy the cheap tool from HF, and if you actually use it enough it breaks, spend the money to get a good one that will last. Better to spend $30-50, even $100, on a mouse every 15-20 years than $10 or band aiding a mouse every 18 months.

As I write this and reading the words back before posting, I realize this might sound condescending or come across as angry, but that is not my intention. I would like to be helpful, learn more, and am open to discussion and differing opinions. Just wanted to call that out.

What job or hobby does one have that could possibly reach this threshold every single day for 18 months?

5,000,000 / (1.5 x 365.25) = 9,126.169

You’re clicking your mouse 9000 times a day? Every day for 1.5 years?

Gotta be somebody need some killin’

If you think that’s bad, just envision all the physiological and existential issues you’re instilling in them! ( /s!)

On a serious note I have thought the same thoughts after my interactions with my children.

In my opinion, the biggest indicators of a good parent to me are: to be present, to always act in your child’s best interests, to always enable your child’s curiosity and wonder, and to know the difference and when to be a parent and when to be a friend them. None are easy.

I only know you from this post, but if you’re self-aware enough to worry about if you’re supporting your child (or any child, for that matter) and consciously reviewing your decisions to learn how to be better, you’re probably a pretty good parent.

You got this!

Good luck, friend.

It was a great setup, but ran out of steam in the last episode, I think.

Also one of Michelle Mylett’s first roles before she went on to star in Letterkenny.

Because it’s a popular movie with a catchy soundtrack that has a Grammy nominated song that was number one on the Billboard Top 100? It’s not like they’re pushing an obscure art film released solely for a run at an Oscar.

Sony makes the money. Just like they did with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and countless other products of Sony Animation.

Oh c’mon, there’s a whole lot more proof than that.

Middle school, probably 13-14.

If you don’t have the money for a proper VPN provider, you definitely don’t have the money for a legal defense if it came to that. Save your money and only begin once you can afford reasonable protections.

What the fuck?

Marshmallow and artificial preservatives.

They leave it and the cops who also respond to the emergency call take care of it.

Either a family member or friend comes and gets it, or it is towed.

Hey on the plus side a bunch of stupid fucks that think COVID is a joke or hoax will die, so win for intelligence, I guess?

Hopefully humankind as a whole survives their stupidity also.

Is he trying to mirror the Iraqi Information Minister, or is it just a completely normal everyday coincidence?
