My own mother is pretty much in this camp. How do I explain her views? She’s a fucking moron. Always has been, always will be. It’s that simple.

What an asshole.

Hmmm. 540 or so billionaires in the country. And projections that automation and AI will destroy nearly half of the jobs over the next couple of decades for the common folk, while of course making a few hundred more people obscenely rich. Are they starting to realize that you can’t string enough barbed wire or…

Probably not the product placement Nike was hoping for.

1) Buy and read Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book (roughly $20). If you must use online tools then Rotary Swing is a good site, but stick to the basics and don’t get too deep into technique on that site (at least for a while - like a couple years).

The vehicle does kind of seem in disrepair, but lets keep in mind he ONLY made $50m this last year, to bring his net worth to roughly $750m. So that car is .03% of his money. Yes, you read that right. .03%. If you are rich enough to have a million in the bank then that’s $300 to you. If you have what most people…

This is a terrible article and also generally bad advice. Man, where to start...

Self discipline is the most important facet of any investment strategy. You’re doing fine for now, and ETF’s are the way to go, no doubt. Former Series 7 & Series 66 here. Most of the ‘investment’ world is a rip off; upwards of 90%. Stick with discipline and ETF’s and you’ll do fine. If that IRA cracks $200k and…

The Ruthless Toothless?

In 2010 John Paulson earned $5 billion. Yep, you shitted yourself for good reason; 5 billion fucking dollars. If he were taxed at income tax rates, that would be roughly a $2 billion tax bill (roughly, all things being equal), but because he’s a hedge fund manger, he gets to take that income over time and only pay…

Why not just throw it in FedEx overnight, like the more, uhh, ‘experienced shippers’ do? Drop it off within 20 minutes of the shipping deadline and make sure it’s well packaged. The carrier doesn’t have much time or incentive to check what’s in those packages, apart from explosives and such, so that’s really your…

The tip is simply-stated, but requires real commitment: never touch something more than once. For example, my email inbox is cleared every day, despite receiving several hundred emails that require action. It is not managed or sorted by an assistant. Instead, I practice the principle of read, act, file, or delete. To…

Unless you really need to use stereo in the proper ear it doesn’t make a difference. And of course this is just a stock photo, so I highly doubt those cans are even plugged in.

Well said.

Interesting. Usually when I hear someone going off in a completely unreasonable manner over not getting something they want it’s a black female. But yes that particular line of attack you’re talking about seems to be most popular with the white men. Mostly overweight white men who are bitter that they never got to…

I don’t get it - what’s the deal? Dude grew 2" at the age of 20 - happens all the time.

Any man commenting on the horrors of wiping back to front is no man to me. You do realize that’s only a major problem if you, literally, have a vag, right?!

I’d seriously question that. There are almost 300 million english speakers in the US. If you live in China and speak english its highly likely you live in an urban area. The vast majority of rural Chinese do not speak english. There are roughly 800 million urban Chinese, so greater than 3/8 of them would have to…

Many consider sign language to be the most important language to learn beyond your native one. I guess it all depends on intended use. But yes both Mandarin and Spanish would be very handy. Spanish sure is a lot easier when you’re starting with English though!

Him making it back this year will take an act of bovine intervention.
