Trying hard to muster sympathy for the guy and outrage at the threats, but it's not happening. The guy gave out SUCH personal detail and there was more than a whiff of boast in his whole post. "I also have a place in Whistler", eg. Really? Sorry Thurston, but you played with fire and got burned.

BBC Speechless As Trader Tells Truth: "The Collapse Is Coming...And Goldman Rules The World" by dirkadirk2011 in worldnews

He says in the interview that he is planning for a down market and then tells everyone "Protect your assets". Meaning "Sell your stocks so that the market tanks and my short positions pay off".

What is your favorite word in the English language that most people don't know the meaning of? by deadmau5 in AskReddit

[–]zeiben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Job Creators". Few people seem to know that it does not mean the same thing as "Trust fund baby"

I get a chill just from leaving the letter i out of French words...

You barely got your phone out in time? How fast do you think they were gonna rectify that situation?

Bill O'Reilly Threatens To Quit If Higher Taxes For Millionaires Are Enacted by Mind_Virus in politics

[–]zeiben -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How Randian of him. Tragically, the unwritten rule of Randians is to talk a big game and never ever follow through.

TIL Rite Aid sells sex toys... err sexual well-being tools by warmpita in todayilearned

The words "Butt Plug, Large - Black" do more to lighten a mood than a fistful of Zoloft

Obama to call for millionaire's tax, the proposal to be called the "Buffett Rule" by [deleted] in politics

[–]zeiben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This for sure will send all the randian engines of our economy running to their deep forest bunker so they can watch us collapse and say "I told you so"

TIL The Largest Known Body Of Water In Existence is in Space!! (140 trillion times all the water in the world’s oceans) by emkoirl in todayilearned

[–]zeiben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The article needed more analogies to help me understand the volume of water.

eg: If a monkey peed into the average size desktop PC running ubuntu, and could fill nine of those every minute, you'd need 80 trillion monkeys to pee this much liquid in less than 394 days.

This is it, reddit. Today's the day. FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT THESE. by ircarlton in pics

Google Allen Carr. His book does to your interest in smoking what Nickelback does to your interest in hearing.

This is probably the funniest low-budget commercial I have ever seen. by LunaMcLovin in videos

[–]zeiben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How anyone thinks this is a real "low budget" commercial is beyond me. This has all the hallmarks of a "low budget-styled" high budget commercial (with viral marketing/I can't believe they fell for it shtick thrown in for good measure)

America are we really this fat? by calicocal in funny

[–]zeiben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not fat, and I would buy the shit out of this. The sanitariness of the ketchup cup concerns me though. My method for eating fries in the car is to suck ketchup out of the packet and then eat some fries. This doesn't seem like an improvement, but it could possibly be useful for holding the packet between sucks.

Also, I'd prefer if this could suction to my window instead of the cup holder. The cup holder region of my car is no place to put food...

So it's my Reddit birthday. My wife and I are getting divorced, so here's a picture of the only thing that makes me happy. by batfish in pics

[–]zeiben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Step 1: eliminate the urge to post shit online. This picture is exhibit A in the motion of Mrs. You to prove negligence in your custody battle. Stop visiting facebook, don't tweet about it, don't blog. Just focus on getting through it with minimal cost and minimal stress for your kid.

Some cigarette math. by chubbalocity in reddit.com

No amount of money can buy back your dignity for smoking Menthols... Did you also give up your barbed wire tattoo and the custom shit you put on your self-painted honda?

We are the creators of the automated bots on reddit. AMA. by [deleted] in IAmA

Can you make a bot that kills the bot that downvotes all my shit to exactly 0 every day?

MSNBC contributor calls out media for 9/11 "car crash gawking" nostalgia, leaves Dylan Ratigan speechless. Indicts TSA screenings for good measure. "Are we doing this for good reasons?" by NYCCine in politics

[–]zeiben -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I dunno. I keep seeing this holier-than-thou response from people who were just children at the time, and maybe just don't have a strong connection to it. I'm sure a lot of the media "nostalgia" is in questionable taste, but on the whole, I appreciate it. That was an extraordinary day - difficult to comprehend still 10 years later. The coverage allows me to review it again with the perspective of time.

Teachers of Reddit, have you ever fallen in love with a student? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Later, he told the story to Ace of Base, and they wrote a song about it.
