self-deprecation is a very british trait, and problems can arise when the british attempt to do so with a foreign culture





sam altman is a cowardly piece of poo poo:

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

agreed, if the 2008 bubble's affect on the bay area told me anything

that bubble popping is specifically what let me buy my condo—right when the building was complete, nobody could get financing, so many of the units were unsold even a couple years later. I actually could get financing, so I paid a fraction what the unit was originally bid up to during construction just so the builders could get rid of it.

this was in the South Bay, of course. there's no such thing as unsold housing in SF…

oh sure some will fold but it will be gradual and most of their assets will be absorbed by something else for cheap which will fuel those with slightly more competent management.

then all the people who cant get jobs in sf will move to the flyovers where they will work for healthcare related companies until they die. their old housing will be purchased by wealthy foreigners who will use it as potential vacation property

nah you'd pay around 4% + a bit more for social security/medicare.

because you're making under $20,000 a year unless you get full time every week on it.

beautiful, isn't it

he wants to build a wall along the border (because walls are impenetrable) with mexico and somehow force mexico to pay for it

also he has a 'secret plan' to defeat isis but he won't say what it is until he's elected
