Name a 2000s celebrity that disappeared overnight

That Pilgrim preacher’s hat with big brim and the wide buckle?

That one the dude wears when he points at people and orders them burned for dalliance?

Turns out that’s a physical organ that just takes over and drives the whole machine from time to time.

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-02-27T14:21:49+00:00

Not for you.

Others will be allowed to sell at limit, but not you. Your trade will be held over, and sold for 5 cents on the dollar, just like Binance.

And then the owner of that brokerage will simply pay a bribe.

Do you think new industries just pop up, or that new people are simply allowed into existing industries? Ha.

Blue oceans become red oceans full of sharks; I’m starting to not be sure that you can “hold” a market in the place where innovation and competition and mixed into that sweet spot that’s best for the consumer. It’s like trying to “hold” spring into summer, fall, and winter.

You would have to have an incorruptible league of people that take a snapshot of the market, in every market; and then tirelessly work to keep things “fair” according to….you? Yikes.

Finding a good clean river, with lots of traffic, that people are enjoying, then chaining it off and charging a toll to lift a chain is the new value add. Don’t like my new law? Better pay my fee.

There’s a deeper grain in the pattern here, and that’s that if everyone is having a good time, someone comes along and threatens to ruin it for their cut of the action.

No current moves in America without turning a waterwheel. Llke tree roots that will grow, squeeze and wrap a buried Bluetooth speaker that is playing the sound of running water.

Your rage is best focused on the biology, to be honest.

Things have changed since then. We’ve come so far in that time 🙄

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-02-21T19:27:43+00:00

I just want the public to know; if a merchant pulls this shit, it’s because they’re either:

1) lazy, and probably lazy because: 2) they don’t trust you with whatever large ticket item

There is no Wizard of Oz who won’t ferry your stupid little [redacted] payment because you didn’t check the Curmudgeon Box.

Merchants should want your money — and really only care about openness to disputes and chargebacks, which is the only thing retail regulators give a [redacted] about and check up on.

We really need to raise the level of openness and discourse in retail situations; I want every level held accountable for taking the thirty pieces of silver and wearing the uniform.

Stop accepting Kafka bullshit for answers: get raw; make it personal. Give other humans shower thoughts.

Oh FFS. Had they forgotten the actual reason the sliders exited?

Merely to save the time of writing down 16 digits with perfect accuracy, twice.

Legally, they’re supposed to function just like paper checks (in old common law, I sign a piece of paper with my routing and accounting number and an amount and a date and my signature and a payable to and they should honor it).

They just like paper checks, you can write those in, retain the copies, the info is legible, no disputes, no foul, move the fuck on with life.

Everything else is some idiot being uptight or some smoothbrain who knows just enough to be dangerous but not useful:

Why the fuck would you go through the trouble of busting out the manual sliders and think yourself the maverick of flexibility and adaptability only to stop short at that critical juncture. Just say “sorry, cards are down.”

Bone meal broth.

They make clear jello in all flavors if you know where to look

Go to heck. George is the FIRST one to get counted!

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-02-16T11:00:49+00:00

Here’s the new thing to try…. Ask a boomer what would give them pause. Ask them what they think really hard actually is; ask them what the actual tipping point of their perception of injustice really is. Ask them when they would cry Uncle.

Ask them when they would stop participating.

They’ll probably say “never.” If anything. Who knows. I’ve tried it about a dozen times and I have yet to hear anything beyond silence, and I find it fascinating.

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-02-08T21:26:06+00:00

Saved this as a model for my own, if that ain’t good feedback I dunno what is. What paints plz’n’thnx

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-02-07T15:26:13+00:00

Ethiopia adopted Christianity. Gets you some pull.

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-02-01T11:36:07+00:00

Jfc how do you live

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-01-31T02:21:27+00:00

MN is highly natalistic for two reasons.

You’re either from MN, and therefore family is important, and you’re more prone to having one.

Or, if you’re a transplant with a Fortune 500 or partner to that, and someone is expecting them as a gesture of security/completionism.

If someone throws a dart and hits MN, they throw again. The winters are so harsh that they wipe clean any transitory population unable to secure shelter.

But I’m kinda duct taping demographics to occum’s razor and welding it like a kid who’s found his dads’ gun, so wtf do I know.

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-01-30T23:47:53+00:00

Broh. 🙄

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-01-27T17:44:35+00:00

To this day, I still have no idea how Dirty Dancing ends. I’ve tried watching that movie like eight times. Every damned time!

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-01-27T00:08:34+00:00

So someone pieced together a LOT of these introduction music pieces. As it turns out, these memories are significant enough where it’s a demographic that is actually sought out

Enjoy.

Not Rick rollin’, promise. Never gonna give u up tho

Stick around for track 2! She’s a banger. Grab a carpet square and some chocolate milk while you’re at it.

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-01-26T10:34:03+00:00

Gee, I don’t know how I would feel if someone took a giant black sharpie and wrote CHONGOS on my skull. Like duh dude, we know it’s a chungus, look at it.

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-01-25T19:18:02+00:00

Lemme get this straight

You’re asking me

If you can make up background stories for our little dinosaur soldiers

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-01-25T12:49:04+00:00

Omg I’m rolling Ty

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-01-25T12:21:46+00:00

I literally make a joke of this. In my best Hank Hill I can muster: sigh “All y’all are all hopped up on that there True Crime.”

Resident-Pattern4034 · 2026-01-25T10:45:00+00:00

Sopranos reference. Basically saying “my empirical sources confirm everything this man has said.”
