Tell that to the twice impeached former president. He not only put himself up in what he considered luxury, but he also placed the secret service in that same hotel at the tax payers expense while charging extortionate rates, just because he could.

Pretty sure this is the incredulous look I give professionals (who have advanced degrees) when they try to tell me how to do my job…

If they knew how to do my job, they wouldn’t have reached out to me.

As a Texan I can assure the veracity of this statement. I can’t speak for Florida, as my time there was limited to a week in Orlando as a child.

I just remember the tap water tasting like the swamps smelled, which is reason enough for me to avoid Florida without all the gestures wildly in Florida’s direction

If I was facing life or the death penalty, I choose death.

Wasting away, fighting for survival, no entertainment, no vices (in theory), etc.

No appeals, expedite it. Take me behind the courthouse and put a few rounds in my head. Be thorough.

I’m miserable enough living in “the greatest country in the world,” just get it over with. My “life” is lost either way, death just prevents the rampant suffering along the way.

Honestly, this was already happening in my local music scene over a decade ago.

It’s a large part of why I got out of the physical metal spaces…

I don’t care if it’s swedish melodic gloom thrash death metal or whatever, I just wanted to mosh and have a good time.

I can talk about music theory, and technical masterpieces, and all that. Something can be technically impressive and still sound like crap. People don’t seem to separate the skill involved from the actual music put out.

That being said, I’m tool old to hop in the pit these days. Even if I didn’t get “hurt” I’d still be sore all over for a week lol.

If I had the money to blow I wouldn’t give it all to charity… Some, sure, I can think of a few I like.

That being said, after getting my luxury bones fixed and getting out of pain, I’d just buy a house and pay off my car.

Then retire. Probably move somewhere tropical… Or isolated, haven’t decided. Maybe both is possible. All I know is a fiber (or future equivalent) would be mandatory.

Because if I have 450k to just blow, I’ve got way more in reserve.

The worst part was just how casually shards were removed from himself.

This was not his first rodeo.

Nord VPN also keeps logs and has handed them over to police forces.

So far I’m like the proton suite, have my email and VPN through them.
