agree on, at the point of a gun


More proof that old boomers don't get what its like to be a modern, young adult. I was just texting with friends about this at the coffee shop this morning while making plans for this weekend. Boss is interruping by goat-yoga mindfullness session, asking me to come into the office an hour this month. Who has time for this?

You olds have all the money, all the time.


I wish I had all the money and all the time! I don't, alas...

I know it sounds stupid but I started to but lottery tickets, not to win, because statistically it is impossible, but just to give me hope, because lottery is the only thing in the world that can land a mountain of cash in one shot, with a very small investment. Nothing else can do that.

That's why humans purchase lottery tickets all the time throughout history. It's too cheer themselves up.


I found a cheaper way. I walk around the city for a couple hours every weekend with the hopes of randomly finding a winning lottery ticket.


Why not buy out of money options in companies that you know with spare money? Better odds and good payouts if you hit it right.


Needs too many correct bets or too much $$ to get a few million of returns. You can win a lottery of 50 million with just a few dollars! But I do think this is an interesting strategy. I might try it out just for fun.

Anyway I'm half joking. I do buy lottery but it is just to improve the mood of the day. Oh a good mood for a few hours is so important to keep being sane.


Nothing better to do since the grant was canceled. Not that the grant had anything to do with it


OMG! Really! Everybody Run!




Just today, my think tank released a report also. Helps me to get tax payer funded grants


When its click bait, yes


Because its click bait


The fact that the German government won a lawsuit against X is clickbait? The same X that is headed by a guy who is vocal in his support of a politcal party in Germany?


How dare he?


If its publicaly accessable data, then why don't they just take it? Would that require effort they would have to expend to further their own aims?

Sounds more like they want X to do the work for them.


They're entitled to access it en masse as per the law.
