Coming from somebody who's got so much 24% APY credit card debt that he needs a consolidation loan to have a hope of paying it off, you're not going to do shit, tubby.
I'll be debt free in three years, if not sooner. Suck it.
You're going to keep on flailing until you run out of money again, and then you're going to declare bankruptcy, because you're a lazy, dishonest, fraudulent piece of shit.
Maybe you're right. I got a paid off credit card. I could buy a new car with it and head off to Mexico to find a chica to marry.
You'll be one of the first people laid off when the "Pence recession" hits, and when you end up filing for bankruptcy again, any assets you have will be liquidated to pay off pennies on the dollar of your debt.
If all my assets were liquidated, I would still have enough cash to buy a new car and head off to Mexico to find a chica to marry.
Taking pride in being infamous as an insufferable jackass.
I want to thank all my trolls, especially the one who posted dick pics of Russian schoolboys with my contact info, for making me Slashdot famous. Also for DreamHost for putting up the extra bandwidth to handle traffic from Slashdot to my websites.
How is this filth modded up. Fuck this site. Blatant spam by a blatant spammer.
1) The comment is relevant. 2) The comment attracted other comments. 3) I'm having such a karma whoring power trip, my trolls are petrified (or they took off for the weekend).
Why do you equate "used marijuana within the last weeK" with "drug addict"?
Busses in Silicon Valley have billboards with a picture of a young man with smoke around his head and his eyes unfocused. Tagline: "It's called being 'wasted' for a reason."
Your friend must be extremely creepy or something because a highschool dropout that can code fizzbuzz and get around in linux can make $5?,000 in silicon valley.
Nah... Just a bitter EE who made $200K per year, got laid off, took out $100K in student loans to get an MBA, and now makes $50K. Retirement looks bleak with $100K in student loans that can't be discharged in bankruptcy.
I wonder if this is part of the same group of friends you talked about earlier who wants to "get the most bang for their retirement buck" by moving to the 3rd world and buying a child bride.
I don't have any friends like that. I just have friends who have friends who are like that.
From all the stories that I've heard, the families and the village elders gave their permissions for the marriage. The end result is not some deviant American banging an underage bride but the village getting everything he owns when he dies.
Yea, like the compromises with the AHA? Oh wait, there weren't any. Democrats did that all on their own.
You mean the 200+ amendments that were sponsored or co-sponsored by Republicans that were included in the final bill? Since the Democrats had enough votes to pass the AHA, the Republicans voted "no" and ate their cake too.
The new administration signals a more promising environment for business, and it's showing in the stock market.
The eight-year-old bull market is starting to show its age. What's going to happen when the stock market corrects itself and the economy will goes into a long overdue recession in the next two years?
I'm building up a cash reserve in my brokerage account so I can buy stocks all the way down in the Pence recession.
According to "Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley" by Antonio Garcia Martinez, Facebook only has 2.5B+ people to convert into users. User growth stalls out after that as the few billion people who aren't users live in areas too remote for Internet access. Facebook will have to find new ways to grow that doesn't rely on adding new users in the future.
Impartial observer here: you brought sexuality into this by discussing underage lovers.
You must be new around here. I don't have underage lovers. Everyone on Slashdot knows that I'm a 48-year-old virgin. Why they have a problem with that I have no clue. As for my comment, I've heard stories of engineers retiring at 50, moving to Mexico and marrying underage girls. Since I work with ex-military, the Philippines is a popular retirement spot for marrying underage girls as well. It's all about getting the most bang for your retirement dollars.
Yet while Obama was around things were bad for 8 years. Real bad.
Thanks to the Republicans who spent eight years dragging their feet. They're still dragging their feet because it's easier to say "no" but saying "yes" requires compromises. Not with the Democrats, but with themselves.
Some got pissed - which I couldn't understand why.
One friend is mad at me for making more money than him in IT support. Never mind that I never took out student loans for my education and I've been working in IT Support for many years longer than him. Having in an EE and MBA doesn't mean squat in IT support when you don't have a track record of getting the work done.
No wonder you're a virgin and have no hope of a female friend, probably ever.
What does my sexuality have to do with the topic being discussed? Or were you just making snide remark because you have nothing worthwhile to add to the discussion?
Now that Obama is gone and his policies are going in the dust bin of history, we are seeing 3% growth rate in the economy.
We're getting 3% growth because of Obama's policies. Trump policies, if anything ever gets passed by the Republican congress, won't go into effect until next year.
If they were making 200K a year, modestly saving should have had them retired in 5 years.
That only works if you retire to Mexico, build a mansion (by local standards), marry an underage sweet thing and bequeath all your possessions to the village.
The EE degree isn't the problem. It's taking out student loans to get a MBA and not being able to find a job to pay off the student loans. I have several friends who graduated with EE in the 1990's, decided to get their MBA after getting laid off during the Great Recession, and now do IT support because they can't find a higher paying job. It's a bit of shock to go from $200K per year to $50K per year.
Lately almost everything sold on amazon is sold by third party and amazon just does warehouse, shipping and billing.
I've ordered a half-dozen boxes of granola bars from a third-party on Amazon only to find out that they kept five dollars and ordered from Walmart. That's only when Walmart has the granola bars on sale. Otherwise the can't collect their five bucks. I just order direct from Walmart.

My base metabolic rate is 2100 calories and you weigh TWICE what I do.
My MBR is 2500 calories and I'm eating 1000 calories less to lose weight.
Fuck you and your bullshit.
That would be what?
Why would you value being "famous" on a website that is, in your own words: dying, irrelevant, and no longer worth anything?
I was wrong. It took three months for my trolls to convince me otherwise. I'm here to stay. ;)
Don't try to kid us, tubby, you're a fucking joke.
I'm laughing all the way to the bank.
If I went around threatening to shoot people [...]
Holy shit! You're finally pulled your head out of your ass to say hello. It's been what, two months?
Just wait until they ban processed sugar, creimer.
I don't eat processed sugar. I'm fine with a ban.
You're in for withdrawal of epic proportions when you can't get your 5000 calorie per day fix from real vegetables and fruit.
I'm on a low-carb diet of 150g per day and my daily calorie intake is 1,500 calories. Again, I'm fine with a ban on processed sugar.

You're so gone you can't comprehend how deviant this sounds.
I don't think you can comprehend how far up your ass you're riding your high horse.
This is not a rhetorical question I'd really like to know what sort of things you've seen where you think this is ok.
You're aware that are some states in the U.S. that allow underage marriage as young as 14 years old?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_marriage_in_the_United_States

That's doubtful. The standardization of the English language wouldn't happen for another two centuries or so.
