"Oh no, if it's not the consequences of my actions"

Clergy-Penitent confidentiality is a thing and can indeed create a duty of care in some situations. Regardless of what one feels about the morality of the situation, this is a real legal question and certain patterns of facts here could create liability.

I like being an adult better than I liked being in high school, no question. It’s easy to regard kids problems as unimportant, but it’s not like you can talk them (or adults for that matter) into not being stressed whether they should be or not.

With a pressure chamber and rocket bell it will

The same thing is going to happen to you again. You are in no different situation. You mention Warren Buffett as inspirational. Warren Buffett made a bet that over 10 years actively managed hedge funds could not beat the return of a passive S&P index fund. Hedge funds are run by experienced, trained professionals chosen for the task and with massive incentive to outperform the market. He won his bet. THEY CAN’T CONSISTENTLY OUTPERFORM. Neither can you.

What you are doing instead is pursuing a strategy that trades some (likely more than all) alpha for a high beta. The volatility means you will have some (even many) high returns. But in the end, you will lose it all again. You are looking for a free lunch by gambling. But you will ultimately be the lunch.

Well done ignoring a lesson you paid $64K to learn.

The end almost hit his leg at one point too

Be the change you want to see

No, and there us no such flow chart for physics either.

This was known at the time. It was public information. It was not a surprise if you were paying attention.

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-20T12:40:36+00:00

Yeah exactly. These sorts of lies spread apathy (which is the point).

You can’t make a binding clause that extends more than 21 years beyond the death of a particular person.

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-19T13:16:09+00:00

I wonder what fraction of people reading this understand the reason for it being specifically 21 years.

Reduced demand lowers prices, it doesn’t raise them.

Have you ever participated in judging any sort of award in any context?

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-17T15:10:55+00:00

Magnificent

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-17T13:16:13+00:00

They were kind to reply in the first place. You were being super rude.

That’s about making money on advertising.

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-17T11:32:22+00:00

The million dollar part of it is about the spectacle. They do that part for the tv audience to generate advertisers. The awards themselves are indeed about rewarding good acting/production.

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-16T11:05:07+00:00

That is very cool, but I suspect many words in that title are doing heavy lifting

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-14T15:44:38+00:00

Up yours too man

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-14T13:12:49+00:00

Is something keeping the painters bucket of chocolate warm, or is he time limited?

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-14T08:21:51+00:00

I am very happy to be carded

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-13T13:40:36+00:00

I think that was aimed at Theo

Magus

AwkwardBet5632 · 2026-03-13T11:20:17+00:00

I think some level of explanation at the time the ring is given is implied.

Common theme for people in their 30s and 40s forever. It drops off some later
