All you have to do is make a life altering choice, be ridiculed by half of society in your most formative years, take drugs that forever reshape your body, and YOU TOO CAN WIN AT SWIMMING!

Should have listened to Al Gore: Lockbox

Ben Folds resigned from his role there:

The first part was the best:

• “How you doing this afternoon!”
• “YEEAAAH!”
• “I can’t hear you. I said how you doing this afternoon!”
• “…no…”

Exactly. The headline could just as easily read “Customers discover their $30 meal is made with the same prepackaged food they serve down the street at a school cafeteria.”

All it takes is money to hire someone who is capable.

Definately 7’ 8" female. Asian descent. Bald. Possible Alopecia. Dwarfism.

Yes, and add an Agile framework. Extreme Monkey typing.

Pointless Stupid Gesture 2024!

Good plan dude. Trump to the rescue.

Some additional info based on their published material (screenshot below). The software gets its data from “publicly available sources” which includes tracking information from many different online advertisers, public social media posts, etc. As we know, the advertising data can sometimes have your personal info attached - sometimes not. Babel Street claims to anonymize the data, but let’s assume there is a $$ amount at which they won’t.

So, theoretically, if you can successfully avoid ad trackers, and you don’t post on social media platforms except where you want to be “seen”, you can avoid this tracking (granted that seems quite impossible these days).

True, he straight up admits many times in the books that he would lie about his wealth so that other people would work with him. I assume that came out during his fraud case in NY.

He had a few deals that worked out - all starting with dad’s money. He managed to squander 4 out of 5 of everything he tried. Casinos in Atlantic City, Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Ice, Wollman Rink, etc. It’s a long list. But the 1 or 2 that worked is why he has any money at all. If I remember correctly, it’s mostly the golf courses and an option he bought in the 70s for an old railroad yard in lower west side Manhatten I think. He really fucked someone over on that one. He bragged about how much he screwed them for pages and pages. Like it brought him more joy to fuck someone over than it did to have a success. He’s a complete psychopath.

Just another reason I register as a Republican. If anyone is going to commit voter fraud, it’s them, and you know they aren’t challenging voter registrations they think are on their side.

I already bought the books + it was like watching a car accident. I just couldn’t believe this guy was a successful businessman.

The first 5 or so of Trump’s books. No meaningful lessons in business to be had. Just him bragging about people he knew, people he’d screwed over, how good he thought he was at pretty much everything. How he got back at anyone who crossed him. Insufferable. I knew he was one of the worst people ever before he even mentioned getting into politics.

And in those 5 books, he probably name-dropped every New York socialite he ever met. It’s consistent with his whole image of self-worth and needing to look and feel important. You know who he didn’t mention? Someone we’ve seen him with in several photos? Who he definitely would have mentioned if there wasn’t a reason not to? Jeffrey Epstein.

It makes sense. The only people killed by Helene were gays, immigrants (there were no immigrants in Eden!), and this one guy who was “curious” about being an immigrant. /s

I use Android (Samsung) and I’ve never been able to find one that works. Sometimes I use Chrome, but many apps, like Connect for Lemmy have a builtin web viewer that I think is using the native web browser (so I need something that covers both). I would appreciate any suggestions.

Trump and the GOP are directly responsible for killing the part of ACA that required people to have insurance in 2017. That is what allowed all the young healthy people to drop their insurance which caused costs to go up for everyone else. It de-socialized it.

What, to rub it in? He’s turned that town into a warzone of insanity. Might as well piss in the town square and head out.
