Sprains ankle: "I'M DOWN!"
Gotta cash out before the AI bubble bursts!
Can I assume by that comment that you're also a self-made millionaire?
No? Oh, why are you so lazy? After all, it just requires hard work. There are over a thousand self-made millionaires in my small town alone. The media call us a "statistical anomaly" but they just don't see how easy it is if you just put down your 9-5 and get to work.
/s
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely believe that hard work can get you there but it is very, very uncommon. I work bloody hard, have a good paying job, no debt and investments but will only have enough for an ok retirement.
Friends with their own business who are more driven, work even harder and longer than I do and are absolutely better off, but they'll never earn the level of money like this article suggests.
My issue is with the disingenuousness of the article. This sort of success requires a huge amount of work, a once in the lifetime (for most people) idea or market to kickstart and even then often still requires a bucket of 7-leaf clover levels of luck. But it's sold by the media as others have detailed "if you just work harder..."
They don't connect the thought that if this really worked, the dealer would pull the same trick on the manufacturer to get free cars to sell onto the public...
Why aren't the Dems packaging this message accurately?
"Trump wants to stop you dipping your wick. Will ban condoms - practically eliminating your chance of getting laid"
Too little, too late!
Oh ffs! He's said he won't run again if he loses this one, can we stop egging the idiot on until someone manages to get some cuffs on the pos?
Remember, we're only in this position because Obama hurt his feelings by telling some jokes, making fun of old Donny. THANKS OBAMA! /s
"Thoughts and Prayers" - imagine all the free advertising!
I'm sure this fat greedy fuck would be edible if we slow roasted him, basted with a nice strong chili sauce
Good on you! I've found the best thing to do with upset babies is try to engage with the kid - ask the parents first(!) but babies are fascinated by new people in a way that parents can't fulfill.
Story time: I had a crying 6mth old next to me earlier this year so I pulled out the safety sheet (asked the mum if I can show him this), channeled my inner Wiggles and kick-started it with a big, excited interruption to his crying: "wow, look at the plane!" The unexpected, strange interaction short circuits their focus on being upset and he just stopped and started at me like "wtf is this dude on?". Once I had his attention I started pointing and describing all the pictures, then gave him the page. This turned into a 10min game of point at the picture, say the word or a story then hand it back. My names and descriptions for the people on the page got more crazy each time - after all, his were nonsensical too! I even got a few giggles as I kept it animated with hand gestures and big smiles. That turned into pointing out the windows or different things in the cabin.
The kid eventually got bored of the games after about 15-20 mins but had already forgotten he was upset and then peacefully interacted with his mum again for the rest of the flight. I got back to my book while he had the sky mag to read along like me and would still point out different pictures to me or check my book, puzzled why they were no pictures!
I even scored a tiny-dude high five as they were leaving which everyone knows are the best high fives.
Best flight I've had all year!
