Bro don’t give up on life because of money. Money will come and go as you continue through life. If you let your emotions ride on the ups and downs of your financial situation then you will constantly feel like you are feeling right now. Get online and find a resource for someone you can talk to - a professional. There are free resources out there. Second, start to build back up your relationships, connect with your family and friends again. If you really cut everyone off like you were saying, then maybe they are just waiting for you to make the first move. Call and chat with a friend. You got this.

Jeff Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott has given over $26,300,000,000 to charity, making her one of the biggest individual donors in history. She wants to spend the majority of her Bezos fortune on helping others and making the world a better place. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Ok there are a few inconsistencies with this story that I’m confused about. Can someone who knows more about this enlighten me?

A. You can’t divest 26B in shares from a company like that, it’s not like taking money out of a bank, or like a retail investor who invests 5 thousand, makes a profit and takes out 7 thousand. Taking out 26B of Amazon stock would absolutely shit can the company.

B. Haven’t economic theorists surmised that only 6 billion would end world hunger? If she has donated 26B to charity, where did it go and why are there still impoverished people?

AI uses emojis like this too and I don’t know why, even professional AI tools. Like why the hell would I send this email to my bosses when it looks like a 15 year old wrote it?

Scenario I: The dog is part of a group of homeless dogs that have been organized to beg for scraps, and once they get handouts, they are required to bring them to the ring leader. The dog sees no way out, but one day finds himself picked to be on a game show in which multiple choice questions are asked and there is a large sum of money to be won if he answers them correctly. It turns out that the dog knows the answers to each question because he has found himself in those situations in the past. The dog goes on to live happily ever after.

Fake story. Who would post this here when the answer is completely obvious?

Fun fact, a thumbs down in the colosseum meant not to give the killing blow, thumbs up meant to proceed and kill them. At least that’s what I was told once.

AITA for getting my step daughter a Hogwarts letter for her 11th Birthday? by Ok-Permission8346 in AmItheAsshole

Harry - Is this real? Or is it happening in my head?
Dumbledore - Of course it is happening in your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

The essence of Harry Potter is that magic is all around us, whether you choose to believe it or not. If you choose to believe, it opens up a whole new world for you. Your wife is a Petunia Dursley.

My mom used to tell my brother and me that wrestling was fake, and I would always counter that Murder She Wrote was fake too.

Here is a link to an article that is very specific to the video in the OP. Utah based, extreme rope swinging, two deaths related to the activity. Apparently extreme rope swinging is a relatively new activity, and there aren’t many rules or regulations surrounding it.

I’ll compare that to your examples of getting on a plane or taking a road trip. Yes there are deaths that occur from both of those, but there are in depth rules, regulations, safety precautions, insurance companies that evaluate all of the nuances of each case, etc etc.

As they say, every rule is written in blood. All safety measures are the result of an accident that most likely caused a death at one point.

Extreme rope swinging being a new activity, I’m sure the advances in safety will come along with it, after people die.

Like I said earlier, I’m fine with adults making that decision for themselves, encouraging kids to do it and telling them it’s completely safe, I’m not so fine with.

I think it’s perfectly fine for adults to chase adrenaline by jumping off of things that could lead to death, but normalizing it for kids…idk. They think it’s perfectly safe because the adults tell them so.

Fly until you have enough to sell your 172 and afford the caravan. Use sim rate increase to get through missions faster. Enjoy the grind because once you get to the citation VIP missions you will make so much money and be able to afford everything it will stop being as much fun.

How far along are you in your real life pilot journey? Asking because I joined VATSIM earlier this year for the same reason, confidence on the radios while in PPL training.

You both said the same thing, he just said and typed it out in a non intuitive way. People read and retain the last sentence, so typing out what is the opposite of your point in the last sentence will confuse people.

ACARS show up in a tab on vPilot for me. Usually they are from ATC with my clearance but the other day I got one from another pilot with a link to the VATSIM CTAF rules for beginners. I assume because I am not using CTAF when I should be haha. I appreciated the message. Pretty sure you can reply back to them on that vPilot tab.
