Made $200 under the table today working as a translator for a rich Saudi failson who couldn't speak English. A rare event where speaking Arabic loudly in public was beneficial in this hell country. Gonna spend this unearned money on weed, food and a new SSD for my PC
weed, food and a new SSD for my PC
all that for 200?? damn i need to shop with you
A 500GB SSD is like 50€ here, theyve dropped hard in price over the years
The SSD is like 50 bucks nowadays, shit has become cheap. Weed and food keep getting more expensive though, but $150 should be enough even for a large son like me
friendship ended with c/electoralism. c/main is my new best friend
(for real tho, as if c/main won't be unbearable with US electoralism both the week before and after the election)
some twitter lib i follow going on and on about considering cancelling his sub to WaPo. I was like, oh nice is the constant imperialist excuses getting to you? Or maybe merely the constant catering to neoliberal businessmen?
Nope, it was a single opinion piece by a conservative who's gonna vote for Orange Man (& was always gonna vote for Orange Man). Libs care about the most inconsequential shit, like imagine THAT's the only problem with WaPo. And this dude is still giving them money lmaooo pathetic
Up early unfortunately. Thanks and best of luck to you too ❤️
Reminiscing about a time when steel tariffs were the most political thing I thought about
I am so much better at wonky policy stuff than I am at organizing. I wish that's what the world needed so I could do that instead.
Update from Saudi failson that paid me $200 yesterday:
He wants me to do another round of translation work today. Told him that I was busy (I'm not), he upped his offer to $300 plus lunch lmao. Too easy to scam idiot rich failsons.
alternate universe where the ussr is still around and also moxie is the most popular soda in america while coca cola is a relatively obscure local brand in alabama
Finally looked up WAP.
Who knew wireless access points were so integral to network infrastructure?
Just commenting that that hamas meme is one of the spiciest memes I’ve seen in awhile, thank you.

I watched Battleship Potemkin tonight, that movie slaps. Gonna have to seek out more USSR "propaganda" movies if that's the level of filmmaking on display.
White Sun of the Desert, heroic Soviet officer helps Kazakh Peasants defend themselves against bandits in Civil war Russia, teaches them theory.
Hell, any "Ostern".
That's kind of the point of an Ostern.
It's a standard Western, but it's the (End of the, usually) Russian Civil War, the Native Americans/Mexican Bandits/Ex-Confederates/Cattle Rustlers are White Bandits/Evil Cossacks/Lost Czech or American Imperialists and the Cowboy/Soldier/Sheriff is a single or multinational group of Heroic Soviet Soldiers.
There's usually a lot more comedy that a traditional Western though.
Found an odd article from 2018:
Child porn charges dismissed against Vegas shooter’s brother
The charges against Bruce Paddock were dismissed on May 30, district attorney’s office spokesman Paul Eakins said.
Prosecutors had filed a motion the day before asking to continue the case because a witness wasn’t available, he said. But a judge denied the motion the next day. The district attorney’s office wasn’t able to proceed with the case without the witness and the case was dismissed, Eakins said.
Prosecutors plan to refile charges against Paddock, he said.
👁️
I did a quick search and couldn't find an update on prosecutors refiling charges either. Oh well, guess it's just one of those things that pops up and then fades away into the background forever.
