My only accomplishment in life – a perfect credit score.

Wealth isn’t the same as income. One can be worth $2M yet only have an income of $45,000. Many Americans mistakenly equate income with wealth, but if they spend instead of invest the money, they’ve not accumulated wealth. A net worth of $2M is likely considered wealthy today.
🇯🇵 I’m Japanese. Serious question for Americans. 🇺🇸💰 How much money do you need to be considered RICH in America? 💵 $100,000 a year? 💰 $250,000 a year? 🏦 $1 million in savings? 🏡 Or simply owning a home with no debt? Is being rich about how much you EARN… or how much FREEDOM you have? 🇺🇸 What does being wealthy really mean to you? Be brutally honest.

It’s not a reboot. Gen Xers are starting to act like boomers, though, so what do they know?
I didn't expect the X-Files fandom to be THIS against a reboot. The NO votes absolutely crushed my poll. I really don't get this. Would you really rather have no new X-Files stories ever again than give a new generation a chance to explore the mythology?

Columbus is cool. 😎 It’s mostly because of its economic strengths and low unemployment. Otherwise, it lacks Cleveland’s color — it’s true.
I legitimately don't get why anyone would rather live in Columbus, a boring city for boring people, but I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that Cleveland's 80-year decline will continue until after I'm dead.

Matt speaks the truth.
Ohio is full of some beautiful drives and hikes.

Limu Emu and Doug has been one of the very best insurance campaigns. I love those ads!
it's important to reject the belief that mass behavior can be understood. it cannot. for example, liberty mutual ran "Limu Emu and Doug" commercials for 7 years bc analyses presumably showed that there exists a significant number of people who bought LiMu insurance *on the basis of that ad campaign.* and that's not something that anybody will ever be able to explain

Besides THE WIRE, THE SOPRANOS and GAME OF THRONES, what’s one HBO series everyone needs to watch at least once? Looking for those underrated gems and all-time greats that deserve to be in the conversation.

The internet’s core architecture is decentralized and has survived far more coordinated threats than current AI capabilities represent. Institutions will spend more on defenses. They will not abandon digital systems en masse or rebuild civilization on analog infrastructure.
Ai will completely destroy the existing internet and every institution on earth will be forced to decouple from it to avoid being hacked. we’ll spend billions going back to analog everything and eventually have to start over on the internet 2.

The book is considerably better, FWIW.

What’s the worst movie you’ve ever sat through, convincing yourself it had to get better at some point, only for the credits to roll and leave you wondering why you wasted your time?

He’s one of “them there readers”.
I just found out there’s a subreddit called bookshelf detectives where most of the posts are women asking people to judge the guys they’re seeing based on their bookshelves

I voted early mid-afternoon on a Monday, and the place was über-packed.
Voted early for the first time in my life. Surprised at how busy it was at the station at my town hall.

Pooping is one of life’s pleasures?
Depending on where you live, cooking, sex and pooping are either 3 of life's pleasures or what kills you b-gat.es/X03eql via @nprnews

Warm apple pie… 🥧
What’s a sex scene that was genuinely essential to the story, revealing something about the characters or changing the course of the plot, rather than just being there for the sake of it?

Thank God. I’ve been waiting for the rest of the story.
A new ‘ALIEN’ movie is in the works. • It will be connected to ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Covenant’ • Aaron Guzikowski (‘Prisoners’, ‘Raised by Wolves’) is writing the script (Source: hollywoodreporter.com/movies…)
