  1. Quibble: The Wal Mart in-app purchase thing is brilliant.
  2. I was REaLLY hoping the club Shay stuff was going to catapult Katt back to the top (if you believe in the black ball stuff), because for my money there has never been a funnier 60+ minutes than Pimp Chronicles or whatever that special was called with his green suit. That’s like Eddie Murphy/Richard Pryor level to my tastes and sensibilities. Nate is funny, but Gillis is way funnier. Bill Burr is as hilarious but haven’t seen him throw a fast ball in years (and I saw him on Broadway this year in Glengarry). There is a Mexican guy that’s quite funny from Dallas. My lack of being able to recall his name probably speaks about his popularity. I know its unpopular and probably in the same realm as “sold out” and polarizing as Gillis, but I’ll drop whatever I’m doing for a new Druski video.
  3. I went in on these contractors. Let's see if it plays out.
  4. From what I've been reading and can gather, I think most people are comfortable with the ebil communism in terms of national security like rare earth minerals and Intel, as they should be. That said, of course a bubble is going to burst and of course the sharps and the monied are going to more or less be fine, but not because of some evil nefarious backroom abilities, but because they are the market makers and their cashing out is going to be the timing and cause of the collapse IMO. Beyond AI, the market is in need of a correction and that's the scary part for us Jimmy and Joe's with one or two million in net worth and not 100 or 200 who can stomach the crash and take advantage of it by buying cheap.
  5. This. I've been told since I was 18 and every 6 months after that I must get my wisdom teeth removed. I'm an old man with straight, coffee stained teeth and nary a one has ever bothered me.
  6. Story as old as time, but I guess it's not in the dark in smoke-filled rooms and secrecy anymore.
  7. It's being a bully. But also, Venezuela sucks outloud so it's not going to get a lot of pushback unless Trump goes full Bibi and starts war-criming and genociding.
  8. U. B. I. It's inevitable.
  9. I was reading today that the bail out is contingent on him winning the election. Which is kinda funny. Conditional love from Trump.
  10. Everyone agrees we are in a bubble but how in the world does that entail a bubble?
  11. Somehow I’d missed this but read this in the New Yorker this AM.
  12. Fair! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/us/marc-benioff-san-francisco-guard.html
  13. No Igbo bias, I'm sure 😛
  14. hahaha wow. I was just thinking why did Gavin take his foot off the gas. ALL Gas no brakes Gavin come on!
  15. Bro, this SENT me. The space jam shirt is a nice touch.
  16. The answer of the #1 scumbags and scammers is door to door solar panel sellers. #2 is door to door roofing scam sellers. Everything else is an order of magnitude below (but agree that dentists are less trustworthy than most think).
  17. Also, with the advent of YouTube, there are videos out there for a majority of the basic-to-intermediate repairs which are the high margin (read: easy) work that service technicians used for a good portfolio mix with the harder, more complex, lower margin work. I just saw this firsthand had to replace a basic part/appliance which felt very basic and straightforward, got quotes which were all very high for 30 minutes worth of work if you do it all day. Granted it took me 90 minutes while watching two Youtube videos and taking a couple of breaks to watch college football since I basically did the work during commercials.
  18. It's scary how optimized teams are with AI. In my world I'm seeing it on both ends: Companies like Chevron for example just went through a 20% re-org with RIFS of like 9-10k people because the old corporate and workforce design is unneccesary for the present (e.g. Oil going to $50) to the future (even when rebounds, don't need the headcount). Large companies are realizing their organizational design is outdated and there are too many humans doing things that digital tools can do. On the other end of huge corps are start-ups who reach 9 figure ARR and/or get acquired with a fifth of the headcount it used to take. A company I consulted for recently acquired an a16z startup for 9 figures who had 14 full time, w2'ed employees. Revenue to employee ratio is the scariest metric that has been optimized by AI
  19. lol it's interesting because the Time magazine sounds complimentary of him, but has an unflattering picture, owned by a billionaire who is a huge SF advocate and donor, who made waves because he was calling on the national guard to help SF, while also being a past progressive, who seems to be warming to the middle (or even right?). I mean, maybe it's only interesting to me to think about those 5 or 6 variables and the interplay therein. sorry for partying.
  20. I didn't say that was me. I said that was what the "middle/centrists" seem to be representing. I could be wrong, maybe centrists have a different north star. What do you think it is?
  21. What you are describing (if true, big IF) is helping me to understand how my Palestinian neighbor can dislike Trump but hate Biden.
  22. Benioff (Salesforce CEO and not the Game of Thrones writer for HBO) owns Time magazine well and there was a "spicy" NYT article he gave some quotes to earlier this week.
  23. Latinx hate them because they are so arrogant and uppity and pretend they are european and look down on their brown neighbors.
  24. You just described in a nut shell the middle/centrists.
  25. Bought 500 shares of Chicago tonight agianst Washington @ $.23. Sold half at $.60 ($150) and rode the last 250 for $250 (total paid $450 on $115 investment). -- I'm investing big into a lot of underdogs this week to see how it goes: 500 of Arkansas for $.28 ($140) 500 of Tennessee for $.28 ($140) 500 of Oklahoma State for $.08 ($40) 500 of ASU for $.21 ($105) 500 of USC for $.26 ($130) 500 of Ole Miss @ $.30 ($150) 2000 of Wisconsin @.05 ($100)
