Seems like if she’s interested, she might invite you in for a drink or coffee next time you drop your kid at their house. If she’s too shy, maybe you offer next time she drops her kid at your house. If she stays in her car as little Billy runs up, that’s a sign she’s not interested (or just busy at that moment).

I also like the idea of offering to take the boys to a movie or something and inviting her. But she may just want to see a movie, so that’s not a total green light. If she grabs your dick during the movie though, that’s a pretty good sign.

Imagine if you just had to scroll down to get to the other options like “Does not describe me”, and they are still talking about "The biggest psychopath we’ve ever interviewed - just out of morbid curiosity. "

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.

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.

Circuit City blew all their money trying to create a disposable DVD called Divx. It was intended to replace video rental stores.

Yea, I read it. I’m not buying it.

I feel like this is just gift wrapping being a dumb racist hick in prettier paper. They are scared of cities because their full of black people, gays, and Mexicans. They like assholes who show the same level of hate as they do - who will keep the black people, gays, and Mexicans away. And they like someone who justifies hiding behind religion so they can tell themselves that God made them this dumb and rascist. So they can delude themselves into thinking they are really the good guy.

Nothing valuable, but I discovered a cache of Matchbox cars, coins, spoons, and small plastic toys all in a small spot in my yard when I first moved in. Seemed cool imaging the kids playing there years prior. Building tunnels in the dirt to drive their cars through and accidentally burying them for me to find later.

Just rewatched that as well. Some of my favorite parts:

• It’s set in 2021
• His brain implanted hard drive holds a whopping 80GB. He uses a “doubler” to increase his capacity to 160GB. The whole plot of the movie is that he loads 320GB in, which leaks into his brain, and he has to get it back out before it kills him.
• The encryption key to the data is photos of a tube television screen that have to be faxed to the recipient.
• One futuristic aspect to his hotel room is that the TV wakes him up with a personal message on screen and then he uses it for a video call.
• The local rebels are a group called the Low-Teks - led by Ice-T. They end up having the highest end tech.
• The best doctor around is Henry Rollins.

The fetish stuff is all created by people who can’t experience ASMR and just assume it’s what being horny feels like. Sad really.

What, you think I don’t have any friends? Sigh. You are mostly correct. But I have this one.

He’s been renting for years. He’s definitely moving. All clear.

This is going to be my new way to antagonize conservatives I know:

ME: Did you know Harris has had 5 kids with 3 different partners?!

MORON: I don’t doubt it. She’s a whore!

ME: Oh sorry, I meant Trump.

Guy on the team rage quits one day. Few days pass and HR goes to clean out his desk. Finds a paper bag full of syringes and a very graphic instruction manually on how to inject something into your dick.

Whatever it was, I guess it can’t wait until you’re at home to inject into your dong. It has to be at work.

Cherry on top was that HR policy was to box up all personal belongings left behind and have the ex-employee come pick them up. So, if he had forgotten these things were in his desk, he certainly remembered after he came back and they handed him the bag.

It’s not about diarrhea?!

The consultancy I used to work for in the late 90s would have crucified any developer that didn’t write “a data abstraction layer that allows you to pop off the original db and substitute a different one later”.

How many times in my 25 year career have I swapped out the database (and been thankful for such an abstraction layer)? 0 times.

Me and my little brother are riding in the car with our mom. I was 12 and my mom was teasing me about my first girlfriend. My little brother had met her, so my mom asks him “What do you think of Waldowal’s girlfriend?”.

That when my brother decides to break out a new phrase he’d learned: “Let’s just say, as long as I have a face, she’s got a place to sit!”

It needs to be a nobody. Frankly, probably an boring older white man, so people could picture them in the Pres seat if needed, but otherwise unremarkable. Keep the interest on Kamala.

Yes, you’re right, but I think Lemmy culture adds an unwritten “don’t be an overly aggressive asshole” on top of it. (Unless that’s also explicitly written)
