Seriously I was astonished hearing our teenagers complaining the plane wifi “sucks” because they had bad ping at fortnite. Like seriously think about it 1 second ungrateful brats.

“Bitcoin will never take”. I mined a few at the very beginning when it was easy, out of curiosity, and didn’t bother backing up because it was useless anyway. Ahem.

They sure have a sense of humor though :)
- Comment on 'It can be unnecessary - and even too much': Are violent video games like Grand Theft Auto 6 becoming too realistic? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s all pretty ridiculous. It’s catharsis, not planning. Just like violent movies. Did you know that in Flight Simulator, you can crash in the World Trade Center!?? Also, did you know that in literal sand boxes, they “allow” you to bash other kids with a shovel??
