I think you’re mistaking how little would need to be invested.

I think my dad would start listening to his god-omen stock predicting son after a few missed billions.

“Dad listen, my college tuition? Fuck it. Put it down on Bitcoin in Jan of 2009 and sell on November 9th 2021 for ~$25T.”

I’d have over 10 trillion cash after taxes. Literally would have more cash than anyone on earth.

I think between being a cute kid and BEGGING my dad who likes to gamble to invest EVERYTHING on Yahoo! From 1994 until the pets.com Superbowl commercial ad aired, and then just hardlined him into selling, he’s probably be able to cut me 10 mil.

Let alone that Id be saying “Microsoft! Coca Cola! Amazon! Apple! Oracle! Pfizer! Johnson & Johnson! Berkshire Hathaway! Wal Mart! And in war years, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin! Intel! Amd! Nvidia!” The whole time.

I’d be a fucking billionaire. Straight up. It would t be gambling, it would be a free money glitch.

Timing Bitcoin right?? Doge?? Get outta here. I’d have more money than anyone on earth.

If I could redo the life I was given with all my current knowledge, 10M would be like the average size of a charity donation or a gift that I would be giving.

For something like trying to turn 300k into 25T on Bitcoin, yes, absolutely.

You could 100% become a trillionaire without significantly affecting market positions, though, even with just general knowledge and ~50 $100-$10,000 investments.

Compounding interest is a hell of a drug.

Nurse Ratchet has nothing to do with African American Vernacular English, or “ebonics”.

Just gonna add that bringing AAVE and education into the conversation (which has nothing to do with ebonics or education whatsoever) makes you come off a bit like a possible race baiting dog whistler. It’s an amazingly easy thing to avoid, so I’ve tagged you with a cute lil nickname to keep track.

That’s how you insult someone’s mids.

The craziest part to me is that it wasn’t until they started forcing them to be stuck inside phones all the time that they started exploding. And yet the FTC still doesn’t give a shit

I’d straight up tell a boss that asked for unpaid overtime that their failure to allocate resources is money out of my pocket if and only if you want to hear from the DoL.

What are the best steps to reduce the wealth of billionaires?

There are a myriad of news articles here on Lemmy that display the abhorrent influence billionaires have on our society (especially the US, where I reside). I consistently read comments where the posters appear hopeless and despondent of the situation, while others jokingly refer to the guillotine....

I’m not sure, I kinda feel like we could use GUILLOTINES the way GUILLOTINES have been used historically, to spread that happiness around.

Running sticks together creates subterranean earth WiFi, which earthworms love.

This very far predates George w Bush.

This predates George HW Bush

foggy,

Ask for the names of the biggest companies over the last 50 years, and roughly when they peaked.

I’d ask about what industries emerged, and what industries support those emergent industries.

Basically I’d end up a trillionaire.

Your edit is still…

You know we’re not talking about dogs here, right homie?

And if yes… You don’t really think there are homeless shelters that are… Not “no-kill”, right?

You know sometimes it’s better to say “oops I was wrong”

God damn I gotta up my game.

My server has a 16tb HDD for slow storage, 1tb SSD SATA as a web host for my intranet, also VMs 🤓

And then 9tb (2x4 TB, 1tb) NVMe m.2 SSD

Then 4tb NVMe m.2 ssd with 8tb HDD attached for my workstation

Vendors fulfil through Amazon because they handle returns.

Even big stores utilize them for this.

Suffice to say, it is difficult unless you’re outside the US.

When I was born in the 80s, police drove 1982 Crown Victoria’s with a turbo.

When I graduated high school in the 2000s, they drove 1982 crown Victoria’s with a turbo.

Then, sometime during the Iraq war, these motherfuckers started getting brand fucking new Ford explorers, Ford f150s… Every couple years.

Of course we fucking hate you, stop stealing our money for toys you don’t need. Why don’t you tell us about the new array of artillery in the trunk?

Name cheap has always been my favorite registrar to work with.

Great service, responsive support, normal prices. 🤷‍♂️

It’s not hard to not piss off your clients in their industry but somehow GoDaddy and BlueHost tend to rank high on everyone’s shit list.

Played fine for me, sound and all.

She has the same cadence and accent as my therapist lol.

If only her advice was this hilarious

What are some of the stranger adaptations/adjustments to corporate culture you've noticed, and imagine emerging?

By corporate culture I mean like what you see with GoogleYouTube/MetaFacebook/etc. to accommodate advertisers and influence people to engage and acknowledge adverts. In turn, by adapt/adjust I mean how some people bleep curses out like fuck/shit/etc., say unalive instead of commit suicide/kill oneself, and make notorious video...

A couple hundred years? Why, Del Complex is already there! /s

Alternative github frontends?

Github has become more bloated, slower and more user-hostile with each update (just like all other big corp platforms). SPA navigation slow like hell, the “new” file viewer/browser is hardly usable in my opinion, code search does not work without login, etc. So are there any good alternative FE where the following work (read...

foggy,

I mostly use GitHub through vscode’s terminal. They’ve got plenty of extensions/plugins for git/github

foggy,

I actually had an idea to make a productivity app that would limit this kind of addictive behavior.

It’d just interrupt and say “hey homie you’ve opened this app like x times in y minutes. Chill”

And give an option to ignore the ingeruotion for z minutesz in case you’re switching for a good reason.
