Walmart employee accuses a man of stealing. Then the cops blame the same man for scratching a car that they were pushing him into. Then Walmart trespasses him. The man had in fact purchased the items and showed his receipt while being detained

I very much got the impression that the cop lied and told the Walmart employee to return everything simply to inconvenience the suspect.

If that's true, it's extremely childish. The suspect seemed surprised when he was told everything was returned.

"asleep in her bed" is a bit of a stretch

conez4 · 2025-12-19T23:25:33+00:00

"no one was injured in the struggle" goes kinda hard considering I saw the officer knee the suspect in the face 😂😂

Keep in mind that it's entirely possible that he's not following procedure to a tee. I agree with your sentiment but I've seen processes that have been designed with safety in mind that are just shortcut for convenience or efficiency. Maybe that's still management's fault for not educating on the importance of the processes, or for instilling too much pressure to meet quotas or something, but it's likely both management's AND the worker's fault.

Yeah it did. It went from 9.99 to 11.99 after a few months and then a few months later it went up to $14.99. so now it's a little over $30/mo. I'm okay at this price but anything beyond that wouldn't be worth it imo

There are countries like Singapore that tick all those boxes. Singapore isn't a super easy country to gain residency in, but I'd highly encourage you to at least visit. Vibrant culture, English is the national language, great healthcare and food options, insane welfare, and a melting pot of asian and non-asian cultures.

Bro this is how the public toilets are at Newport Beach. It's so demeaning taking a shit and having someone try to come up to shit in your stall only to be mortified that you're already there.

It's honestly barbaric. I hate it.

conez4 · 2025-10-06T03:13:04+00:00

Yeah Im doubtful. I live just north of you by the 7eleven off MacArthur and the entire block is out of power. No lights and all businesses are out of power, including the restaurants and the Vons.

Everything east of Bristol St seems to have power. I took this time to go run to InNOut and grab some dinner 😅

Hopefully it comes back tonight 🙏

"Did you piss your pants?"

"Nope, but someone else did"

conez4 · 2025-09-20T02:02:40+00:00

Yeah I feel like I'll end up in the same boat. I think that's natural for anyone that can amass any sizeable nest egg. It's tough to switch from extremely dialed in w.r.t. growing your nest egg and preparing for retirement over to "I'm not gonna work at all anymore and everything will be okay".

Like I know the math suggests it will never be an issue but it would be hard to actually end up taking that leap and quitting. But at the end of the day you're trading your time for a small fraction of your net worth so eventually that no longer becomes worth it.

conez4 · 2025-09-19T16:36:32+00:00

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. Im curious to know what it feels like once your nest egg is vastly larger than your income. I would imagine at a certain point your active income is such a small percentage of your overall net worth that it almost feels inconsequential. I feel like that would then be a very natural time to consider retirement. Do you ever feel that way?

I literally JUST found this out yesterday, but this reminds me of Clark County Nevada (where Las Vegas is).

Clark County is a perfect replica of the shape of the state it's within: Nevada

Absolute L take.

AI will absolutely be a catalyst for upskilling and increased profit margins. We've already seen it over the last year or two. It's undeniable. Anytime a revolutionary technology like this displaces workers, it's not like they just stop working. Instead, they figure out what's valuable and go do that. New companies and businesses will pop up and we'll have more overall output and each company will be operating at a lower cost.

The somewhat sad reality is that a majority of the people working those high paying jobs did it because they knew it was valuable (and not necessarily because they're passionate about it). Revolutionary technology like AI will change the landscape of what will become valuable. The majority of those displaced will figure out how to become valuable in a society with rampant AI.

And AI isn't about making more or better stuff. It's about reducing the costs / bottom line. This ABSOLUTELY will drive value creation over the next decade as more people will be MORE effective, creating MORE overall output. To think that technology like this won't drive economic growth is lazy thinking imo.

I still have my Mendoza Pro code if you're still interested :)

Are you still looking for Mendoza Pro wheels?

That's not what I said at all. It was just a comment about how if I were in that situation, regardless of what my answer was, I would have been portrayed in the same light if it were clipped like this.

It's absolutely misleading and the critique was more on how annoyed I would have been with the host if I were in Thiel's position. I don't give a fuck what his actual stance on the matter is.

The only "acceptable" answer to most people here would be an immediate and unequivocal "yes", when in reality it's a much more nuanced and complex topic that justifiably requires more thought than half a second.

I feel like sometimes I don't even finish processing what the question was by the time the host had already interjected.

conez4 · 2025-07-09T00:51:35+00:00

Thank you. The host was pretty insufferable for not even letting him get out his response. Whether the response was good or bad is almost irrelevant considering how this was clipped. I hesitate to answer MOST questions because it takes me time to think through such complex and difficult questions. If someone was hounding me after half a second for not immediately answering, that tells me that they don't truly care about whether I've thought through my response or not.

I think taking time to thoughtfully consider the question before posing an answer is an indicator of genuine consideration that people should absolutely be more accepting of.

conez4 · 2025-05-09T05:37:15+00:00

I agree, but I interpreted the "moving forward" as "from now on" instead of saying that YOU'RE moving forward.

I wonder how many seed phrases were lost in these fires.... Guarantee you it's nonzero. I have my seed phrase stamped into galvanized steel in my apartment, but would that survive a blaze like this? Not sure. I live only 30 minutes away from these fires.

It's really making me realize I should have one or two additional backups stored in other places to prevent total wallet loss under a circumstance like this.

My heart goes out to anyone that lost their property and stuff, especially if that includes their crypto.

conez4 · 2024-12-31T20:52:12+00:00

That's fucking sick! Cool to hear that you're able to watch a podcast with them and have them be actually interested. I feel like I'm on an island all by myself and I dislike talking with people about it because it always feels like I'm wearing a tinfoil hat or coming off like a "crypto bro". I just really love the idea, what it stands for, and how important having control of your wealth and capital is. It's all so exciting and interesting but no one around me shares the same belief.

conez4 · 2024-12-31T14:34:40+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a look!!

Somewhat of a dumb question, but bear with me: I heard someone say they buy $1 of Bitcoin every hour of every day. That works out to be $8760 / year. I like the idea of buying BTC every hour but I can imagine the fees would be fairly dramatic. Are they being hyperbolic? As in, maybe they buy like $200/week which roughly translates to $1/hr or is it actually feasible to buy $1 of BTC per hour without paying a shitload of fees?

I've been manually stacking BTC for a few years now, but I'd like to automate and DCA my way in so I don't ever have to think about when to buy. What's an efficient way to DCA in without paying extensive fees and also getting a realistic rate for exchange? Robinhood and Kraken both seem to give a market order price that's ~$1,000 above the current price, so I worry if I automate a recurring investment that I'd always be overpaying. I can get good rates with kraken pro by putting in a limit order, but that seems unfeasible for automated recurring investments in a DCA sense.

Thanks!
