His spending 45 million is the equivalent of someone with a net worth of 500,000 spending 75 dollars. It’s nothing to him.

Except now he’s appointed her to be “special envoy to the shield of the America’s” whatever the fuck that’s supposed to be.

I see letterkenny, I upvote letterkenny. I am a simple man.

This is what I came here to post. Bonus for it being in a dead language (Gaulish).

My last car was a civic si. It was a great car.

If you’re not already familiar, the owner of the DNA lounge is Jamie Zawinski.

He is best known for his role in the creation of Netscape Navigator, Netscape Mail, Lucid Emacs, Mozilla.org, and XScreenSaver. He is also the proprietor of DNA Lounge, a nightclub and live music venue in San Francisco.

I asked a buddy that works at Amazon about the outage and he pointed me to this article.

I know quite a few people who currently work there and pretty much all of them are trying to leave.

A person I know (and don’t particularly like) created a start up on this idea a couple of years ago already. It’s creepy AF.

It has now been officially confirmed that he is in fact dead.

A sense of pride and accomplishment, right?

Right…?

Victor Earhart. Unfortunately it looks like he was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2016.

Cool video I found of him while looking around.

Thanks, I’m usually better about that. Fixed in my comment as well.

I think you’re the first person I’ve seen correctly attribute this to the New Yorker instead of a 4chan green text or copy pasta.

That was the beginning of the end for me. I think by the time I got to that part the series had already been going downhill but I remember that being a really sharp turning point.

I tried to press on a little further. The introduction of the straw man nation with the innocent child king who’s only existence was to be blown the fuck out by the brilliance of objectivism is when I finally decided I just couldn’t go on.

Ooo, I was trying to think of what to answer in this thread and you just reminded me of another Orson Scott Card book, Empire.

Absolute trash. Prior to that I had read all of the Ender and Bean series and loved them. Didn’t know much about Card personally, but picked up this book because it was supposed to be tied in with a video game I was looking forward too.

Reading this book is how I found out what a shitty person he really is. It was basically all him hitting you over the head with his shitty fascist ideology while jerking off to a bunch of military porn like a dollar store version of Tom Clancy. I never did play the game.

Lately I google for someone that should give me a direct, exact result. First five links are fucking paid ads.

Well that just solved the question of “what should I watch tonight?”
