The 10 minutes before close guy is 100% why they close 15 minutes early. It’s either that or the 10 minutes before close guy holds up the whole staff – ain’t no straw boss trying to stay late.

Sort of like how Phillip Morris sells vapes now.

— Invest at least 10% of your income into the S&P or Large Growth fund – Roth IRA or 401k if you’re still in a low tax bracket (12% here in the states). Raise the contribution percentage as you raise your income. It may not seem like a lot now but 40+ years of compounding interest goes a long way.

— A gambler on a good day will just about break even. The quickest way to do that is simply not to play. Remember when the game is rigged against you, you don’t have to play. The house always wins.

That said, play your own game. If you look at someone else’s and try to play like them you’ll mess up your own. Play your own game in life.

Don’t be homeless or I’ll give you three squares and a cot is an odd threat.

Run? He’s too old to let go on a walk alone, but if that’s the case with one – That’s the case with the other. Unless we’re having the dementia discussion.

I read that and don’t see how it’s relevant in this case. I’m simply telling the truth. Invest your tithe into a retirement account and call it a day.

No such rules in this one – your god is a lie sold to castrate and incapacitate you.

Most Linux distributions and thus development feel like passion projects. Each time I try to revisit Windoze I feel like the product. That’s completely ignoring the customization I am provided in Linux. I don’t care about ricing. I just want a functional machine tailored to my use case, which is easier to do on FOSS.
