As soon as the other owners realize they might be complicit in fraud, I’m sure that verbal gentleman’s agreement is going to stay rock solid.

Judges definitely don't like people being shady and will drop the hammer on them when they find out. http://www.metnews.com/articles/ross0625.htm?hc_location=ufi quote:A woman who kept $1.3 million in lottery winnings secret from her estranged husband to avoid having to give him half in their divorce settlement will now have to turn over the whole pot to him, this district’s Court of Appeal ruled Friday.

So in Groundhog Day, Phil Connors finally lives out the perfect day, and near the end of it, Rita runs into Ned Ryerson, who gleefully mentions that Phil bought every single BS life insurance policy he was hocking (as he no doubt was doing many days to make Ned happy - who cares, he's gonna reset anyway right?). But then of course he doesn't reset that day, so he's stuck with those mountains of policies. BWM. Unclear if he went through with the bank heist on this day.

Is it just me or is crypto insurance a dumb idea? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...s-idUSKBN1FL406 How does this make any sense at all? What's to keep someone from buying an insurance policy on their bitcoin wallet, moving the coins into a new wallet, and claiming a theft? quote:Annual premiums for $10 million in theft coverage would typically run at about $200,000, or 2 percent of the limit, insurance experts say. That compares with about 1 percent or less for traditional financial clients, depending on the company, loss history and other factors.

Very good with money because the day after Groundhog Day, the thousand years Phil Connors spent in limbo immediately catches up with him and his heirs are filthy rich.

Tomfoolery posted:Is it just me or is crypto insurance a dumb idea? I assume this would require either require keeping bitcoins in an approved exchange (which would be also risky). Otherwise they may feel comfortable enough to investigate fraud. The same thing applies to insuring a piece of art or jewelry: What is to stop you from faking a burglary? The answer is you have to be smarter than the investigators and you're probably not. Or the insurance is just another scam. It's all scams all the way down.

I can't believe nobody's linked the zaurg thread in here since, uhh...zaurg posted:I put $3113 USD into cryptocurrency gambling, all via credit card. I started with $250 and originally planned on just doing $250 a month over the course of 4 months for a total of a $1k gamble, but it fairly quickly turned into $3113. At one point I was up (on paper) a good %. This morning during the lowest point I dipped into the negatives.

The best part was that he flat out lied to the thread about his actual financial status for months (IIRC he proudly posted about coming in like $6 under his budget for January) before dropping the bomb that well, actually, he’s been quietly financing thousands of dollars in buttcoin via high-interest credit cards while literally telling his preschool age daughter that she couldn’t have $3 pizza at school once per week because money was too tight and daddy was on a budget.

Yeah, maybe I should have put “best” in scare quotes like that. It’s frustrating because he seems to realize buttcoin was a dumb move in a vacuum but can’t extrapolate that how it’s real-world affecting his family.

No I get what you meant. Honestly I’m playing a scenario in my head where my four year old tells me he wants to get a fun meal with his friend and I have to say no because I spent all the money on buying options and it makes my heart hurt. I don’t know how he can not realize what he’s doing or deal with that.

Spokes posted:Ain't this the truth. Even with the Blizzard Overwatch League finally guaranteeing a minimum salary (this year. of $50k. for people living in LA.) people are still spending the primes of their lives clicking a shoot button on a computer screen and not picking up any transferable skills. And this is the dream, to say nothing of people playing 20 hours a day trying to break through and GET to the pros. And then the 0.05% of them that do will be tossed on the street for some 17 year old in a few years once their reaction times start to slip past 100ms Agreed that the ones who don’t make it are super loving sad stories. Small point: The 50k is to make them accountable to the league and teams and for appearances of making Esports legitimate. The top players make all their money from streaming and content sponsorships. They could make 50k in a few days streaming sponsored content. I know. I paid them. There's more than one League of Legends player who would be taking a paycut if they went "pro" and that took away from their regular streaming time.

Doesn't even matter if zaurg isn't real, he's a cautionary tale and there are a million real zaurglikes out there anyway. Just like blue story, the fun is in the journey, but the reality.

In on of the old warhams threads there was a story about a guy who would go crazy over every new army release and inevitably buy more than he could afford, and then inevitably be back in a couple months trying to sell it to other players or trade it in to the store so he could get the next thing. It turned depressing when he sold off one force to buy new stuff, and was then happy he somehow came out ahead enough that he could buy some juice for his kid. zaurg is somehow worse than that guy.

I dunno about irrefutable proof, but if he’s not real then this a troll going on a decade and maintaining an elaborate and fascinating fiction, with the end goal of annoying maybe 200 people. I think he’s real, as news headlines this week we’re about Slenderman, we lost a mod at Bengahzi, and the newspaper I saved from my wedding day had Caro on the front page. So weirder stuff has been confirmed.
