It’s worth noting that there still exist some eccentric types of Billionaires who can and do end up doing stupid things. John McAfee, for example.

$100B estate never means you’re sitting on a pile of $100B worth of cash. It just means you own stuff that’s currently worth $100B on paper, most of which you can’t actually sell because either the regulators won’t allow it, or even the mere idea would reduce a lot of its value.

Even if you had that much petty cash to burn at a moment’s notice, such antics will only end up having unpredictable consequences. A lot of Billionaires’ wealth is tied up with their reputation. The value of the stock they hold can go up or down solely based on their image and personal behaviour. If their investors or promoters stop viewing them as reliable, their value will plummet.

I don’t spend my money in stupid ways, despite having a relatively high disposable income. Yet I am, in fact, really human.

I reckon the “shame” here is on the parents’ side for failing to live on their own?

To be that impulsive with large amounts of money to do the actions that you’re describing, one would very much have to be a moron.

The super-rich aren’t morons. Even in cases where they lack the required intelligence they are surrounded by smart people who think for them and prevent them from being morons.

Darknet Diaries

None apart from that. You’re better off listening to pirated audiobooks, especially the full-cast kind with SFX like those created by GraphicAudio

That means spending time and money on developing such a system, which means increasing costs in the short term… which is kryptonite for current-day CEOs

Hey, at least it’s not P2W… right?

Everyone would have still loved him had he stayed away from Twitter and worked with a low profile. But he uad to toot his own horn at every chance and let his true self get exposed.

LOL, Trump’s shooter was unironically white and registered Republican.

… which makes it even more wonderful, since those file hosting sites are now somehow able to serve video streaming to millions of viewers across the world FOR FREE.

I’d have agreed but hundreds of fmovies and similar sites exist on the high seas that provide free streaming of millions of HD content (movies, web series, etc.) somehow. They use some third-party video host that is magically able to concurrently serve millions of people.

where I live using “please” (मेहरबानी) is used often.

Bro where tf are you living 😂

I’m Indian too and have never come across anyone unironically using that word in daily conversations

It may sound tacky but the actual conventional way of getting out of this dark place is to just be outside, with people. Turn off your computer, put down your phone, stop isolating yourself and just go out sightseeing somewhere (ideally with a group of people).

If you’re in India you know the weather hasn’t been better, it’s the best time for a nice trek to Kodai or Ooty or Munnar or wherever.

If Red Hat were to stop officially supporting Fedora tomorrow, can you guarantee the project will still survive?

Can Android/AOSP survive if Alphabet were to give up on it tomorrow?

Fedora is run by RedHat/IBM employees but OK

I can visualize the person who wrote this and I don’t like what I see.

This still won’t apply to most low birth-rate countries like Korea and Japan, where the population densite and job scarcity is already too high.

Yes. It is profitable for big corporations. Is this news to you?

Why would you voluntarily create a job scarcity in your own population? Immigration reduces wages, increases prices, strains public services and causes overall decrease in Quality of Life.

Just look at the state of the USA with 28% immigrant population.

They’d be in jail for committing a hate crime quicker than I could get to the nearest Greggs.

No they wouldn’t. Shouting slurs is shitty but not a punishable offence. Touch grass and hit the gym you fatso.
