  1. We are the same person with the same gripes. One day you will realize this. My guitar weeps at this post, and with you, too.
  2. Believe it or not, Trick Trick is like, the OG and one of those IYKYK type minor celebrities in the streets that has a ton of cache in Detroit. Eminem and those guys pay homage and defer to him. A good analog might be to think like, Big Meech in Atlanta. Or the leader of the Crips that Snoop defers to, etc.
  3. Yea and I was hearing on the radio that, despite good anticipation for like Furiousa and is Dune 2 coming out or something? Either way, they don't expect a billion dollar summer blockbuster movie this summer for the first time in a long time.
  4. I'm not following the thread of this story. Let me try though: You joined a meeting that your coworker (or who?) sent an invite for, that was seemingly random, but being new to the leadership team or something you thought you ought to join or that it was relevant to your job? Then halfway through the meeting, which was a pitch on some tech solution, you turn to ask your coworker "what is going on/who are these people,etc." and she gave you look that signaled what exactly? Horror, as in "you should know, this is important" or embarrassment like you don't know what's going on or you are very green to the role? I'm trying to understand the cringe and I want to enjoy the story secondhand, but the way it was written it is impossible.
  5. Would be pretty crappy of him to do this, to be honest.
  6. So it's not dishonesty and stealing you are against, it's the audience that is being stolen from and lied to that matters. Mighty ethical of you, C-Man. Either you grift them all or you grift nobody. Like the EEOC said; Equal Employment Grifting Opportunity Commission.
  7. Can I get an Amen on this thread title, tho?
  8. Yes. They are known as Greyhound with wings. They make Southwest feel down right luxurious.
  9. In the same vein from the Elon thread, I think Sam Altman of Open AI needs to be discussed as he ascends to power and wealth on the backs of something that will be a staple for the next decade(s) a la Elon Musk. Pros: Started OpenAI as a public good for mankind, took no equity (made his billions in other YC backed ventures and orgs like Stripe and reddit). Cons: Seems to be pivoting away from this and is trying to commercialize AI to such an extent that sustainabile and ethical AI has taken a back seat to go-to-market and valuations (and causing quite a bit of boardroom drama from last November to last week)
  10. Maybe he means gardeners, as a stereotype, are racists?
  11. I'm with you bubalah, I have your back and you are doing the right things. Don't mind these haters.
  12. Hey. Mikey Day is hilarious. You leave him out of it.
  13. Toy Story 5. Really? Fonzi waterskiing out front shoulda told us.
  14. I've never seen the phrase "damning with faint praise" be self-inflicted. No offense and not that there is anything wrong with making only $190k, it's just....kinda weird to use as a brag. Especially if you live in CA.
  15. A few years ago I had the honor (lol) of having to spend weeks in Omaha for a project. Well I just so happened to be staying in the same hotel as some of the Big 12 teams in the NCAA volleyball final four or whatever their tournament is. It was whatever year the SDSU jackrabbits made it because I remember their huge bus being obnoxious (I guess other teams flew). Anyways, I was taking an elevator to breakfast one morning and in walks the Nebraska volley ball girls and I immediately knew my niece would never be a D1 volleyball player, despite her earnest desire. Each of these girls dwarfed me, and I’m 6’1. Their quads were as wide as my waists and their wingspans were impressive for any man. I’m talking 6’6 women. This was Nebraska but I’d see the same from Michigan, Baylor, and Tennessee. My assumption from that experience was the blue blood schools are getting the best breeds and stock of girls, and if you aren’t 6 foot+, it might be hard to get a look unless you are like the lone position where it’s okay to be a shortie. I say all that to say and to your point, unless your girl is going to be tall (and you can generally tell by teens) then you might start focusing your investments (time, mental, physical and monetary) elsewhere. Much like a kid who loves basketball but at 16 is still 5’9.
  16. Bro is really BROKE broke and trying to make money any way he can now:
  17. Weaver was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1996.
  18. This is crazy. And even crazier is I work with a guy who literally moved his family out of the district to who knows where, because the Cypress school district (and outlined above ^^) was "too work". Can you imagine the level this guy must be on if that stuff is considered woke? Granted this was 2 or 3 years ago-- I wonder if this sort of stuff would have made him stay, now that I think of it.
  19. I think we can all pack it up and go home now, @BevoAbysshas spoken and ruled thusly.
  20. BuT wHy aRe We BuMpInG tHiS tHrEaD?
  21. Probably because this guy got a presitigous award for doing what the obnoxious guys everyone hates, the first year analysts at the Big 4 or any bank, do on their first day of the job for clients. You know, use data as inputs married with made up facts assumptions and then create theoritical what-if scenarios in "models" and present them as savings (or revenue growth) if implemented and executed properly. You are right-- why is he going to UCF or UF engineering for that matter. Bro needs to go to Wharton, GBS or HBS, yesterday!
