Smith...

Did you buy a bunch of bitcoin to send to Elon Musk so he would send you double back?
We need to talk :)

You have a keen eye!

I admit, when I saw the similar tweet from Elon, it made me pause for a half second. At first glance, it seemed like just the sort of crazy thing he might do.

I would have guessed you went for Bill Gates, Smithers. So much to learn, so much to learn.
Yes, the last I read was that hackers may have paid an inside man at Twitter.
Maybe next time they’ll dox* all the conservative posters on that site who have aliases. What a shitshow.

Yeah, if it had just been the Elon tweet in isolation I'd be inclined to believe it was legit too. Like, it just seems like such an Elon thing to say. I would've thought to myself "Yeah, I've seen him tweet less weird things."

Dualstow, as for Bill Gates he still hasn't given me the money he promised me when I was 13 years old. I forwarded that email he sent me to 10 other people as instructed and still haven't seen a cheque... I ain't trusting that swindler again.

I’ve been on a bit of a pizza kick lately. So naturally I’ve been looking up recipes and such.

Problem is that I don’t see pizza in these pictures anymore.... all I see is 4 asset classes.

Someone help me plz.

We were going to get some yesterday but could not just walk in and buy slices like the old days. Thus, ending up at Subway.

Yeah, the friend who picked them up for the rest of us knew to order in advance, but even then it was difficult. And they know us.

So, I hope everyone properly toasts Smith and Tech today for their golden avatars and whatever juju they cooked up.
I bought a chicken and a bottle of "The Federalist". Feels fine.

Thanks Tech.
Thanks Smith.

I guess this thread a bit dormant, but I've been gone for three-is months.

Reason: Nothing exciting, wanted to limit my internet time and getting too wrapped up in the news.

Instead spent non-work time on what I'm calling a mini-retreat; meditation, Yoga, QiGong, a bit of exercise, ...

Limiting FaceCrack as well.

I hope all are well and I haven't missed anything too interesting.

Anything interesting to catch up on?

Of course, what I really want to know: how is Smith1776's dating life?

It's going! I've been going out on dates since you were last here. I haven't felt that "spark" with anyone in particular in the interim, but I've definitely learned to not get so attached on a given outcome for a relationship.

Still no Mrs., but I think I've grown emotionally at least!

Good for you, and love the growth mindset; so important.

I'm also working on that non-attachment thing. Sometimes easy, sometimes not so much.
