if i was making breaking bad, jesse or hank would have shot walt and then cremated him with all his money

or maybe holly or walt jr. would have been killed by some cartel guys and walt would have shot himself

oh oh or skylar would have shot walt

i liked breaking bad until they made it clear that vince gilligan is also rooting for walter white instead of praying for him to finally lose like i was

i found the ending very disappointing

walt lost everything but kept his dignity and that was more than he deserved

similar feelings were experienced when i realized that, no, fight club was not straight up satire of modern reactionary hypermasculinity

fight club is the paramount example of poe's law. palahniuk had to explicitly tell the world it was not a satire

edit: i guess that is actually the opposite of poe's law

I have a thing for courageous dongles

I was really expecting someone in walt's family to get killed to either take away the "I'm doing this for my family" lie and it either broke him completely or let him be complete monster without a cloak of family obligations to hide behind but that did not happen

Here's the deal. I need to use a variety of devices regularly. I need to test Microsoft's solutions on these devices, and I need to experience and write about what Apple, Google, Amazon and other companies are doing on these devices too. But when push comes to shove, when confronted by that desert island question—i.e. "if you were stranded on a desert island and could only bring one smart phone..."—the answer is simple. Lumia 1520. Windows Phone.

That could change. I mean, obviously that will change. It's possible that a future Lumia—the Lumia 830, perhaps, or a coming flagship—could alter my preferences. And it's even possible that future advances to Android and/or iOS and specific new rival devices could push me towards a different future. That's life. But today? Foreseeable future? Windows Phone.

So relax, please. This thing is bigger than all of us. The iPhone 6/6 Plus are important. They're popular devices. They're excellent handsets. I'm going to write about them. I'm going to use them. It's OK.

But I keep looking over at the Lumia 1520. Don't worry, big guy. I miss you.

he lost his life when he was almost dead anyway

meanwhile all his enemies were dead, he never went to jail, and he set it up so some of his money would go to his family

and he died a legend of sorts which is what he always really wanted

and the successful ones didn't need to get an MBA to figure out business

also lol at an MBA taking grad-level accounting. that's for accounting people, not management people! an MBA is just another way for a middle manager to rise through the ranks in an over-managed bureaucracy, not a way to actually learn about business in any real useful way.

for example, take a look at the Harvard case study method, it's a p bullshit way to teach business of any sort, and looks an awful lot like Creative Writing 101 Workshop at a scrub-tier community college. better would be to require undergraduate engineering levels of mathematical sophistication and teach things like real options theory, modeling of dynamic systems, and so on, along with a broad history of trade and economics, and business law. but no, Harvard has people read stories and do class discussions and presentations, so that's what all "Masters" in Business Administration curricula must do.
