Literally just sorted by newest to save my sanity and found this.

lesbian-moon-gf is a goddess of curmudgeonry and I am now her high priestess

Totally gives me a flashback of that 80's movie Dragonslayer haha

Was gonna say I love this idea. Now I know what not to buy.

Bittorrent is a file sharing protocol, which isn't inherently dangerous. The 'torrent' contains the information that's being passed around to allow connectivity to that particular file. This is also not inherently dangerous as that information is very specific and limited... and doesn't allow any other user to browse the rest of your computer.

What may be dangerous is downloading a file that contains malware or viruses via a torrent. Use reputable sites and keep your security software up to date. Better yet, use a different computer for this activity with a vpn.

Thank you. Even if they pass something it will be written by a bureaucratic bean counter and will be riddled with loopholes.

Simply don't allow loans on stocks. Keep it simple.

Molon Labe!

(Instructions unclear, am I using that right?)

Close enough, yes.

I believe bystanders got some vid too.

I've always felt it was a matter of how much you were learning or experiencing new things. When you're very young, literally every second is streaming information into your brain that you've never seen, touched, tasted, done..etc.

Once we get life's patterns down, once we learn what motions we need to go through to ensure our own survival, we also find them banal and literally start blanking them out of our minds while we think of other things, dream of that next new experience that may now be months or even years coming.

What we all miss is that those very motions are our lives. Every one of those seconds we just grind through is time. You wake up at the next experience you've been waiting for, smile wide, and then realize you're 5 years older.

If you want to slow down time, actively seek out new things to do, no matter how small. Sounds easy, doesn't it? It isn't.

Edit to say I've often thought about what it will be like when death is imminent. You know, people say you'll never wish you worked harder on your deathbed? But I tell you what, I 'may' wish for some of those long weeks of 'wishing my life would speed up just because I'm stuck at the office' back.

Kinda makes every moment feel sweet for awhile, appreciating it, at least until you fall back into the old pattern.

Was gonna say, don't believe anything a candidate for office says when their lips are moving.

Back in 1988 I had a school project with a few people, one of whom came from a wealthy family. The project was regarding the stock market, and each team was given a certain amount of imaginary money to invest, to see who would win out at the end of the semester. My friend with the wealthy family came back with a recommendation from his father, of course, and we won the contest easily.

The recommendation? Put all our funds into Berkshire Hathaway.

I had the golden goose egg right in front of me and never invested a dime.
