I find it incredibly annoying when I share unique technical details or anecdotes with someone, and later they repeat the same information back to me down the road as if it's their own.

Whether it's to impress or create common ground, I don't know--and I suppose it could be a one-off mind fart where they forgot to attribute their sources sort of thing, but I doubt that's the case here.

Sit down. Wake up and you're there.
And for larger passengers where gas amounts aren't sufficient (or just difficult passengers who deserve it), designate employees to slap the sleeper hold on them during the safety presentation.

Building on WhiteOut’s thoughts, when I’m supreme dictator, as soon as any individual accumulates $1BN, they are open season for any citizen to execute them.

I actually just watched that episode over the weekend, top 5 ep. I'm all for this. And a great idea for my direct flight to Paris next month.

Spoiler!

Ooh! I like your thinking however, my proposal would be that the Billionaire should have right of first refusal to bribe any wannabe Assassin at a set rate to save their lives for a designated period of time.

Now THAT is 'Trickle Down Economics!' in its truest form! Eat it Reagan!

WCLC grinds my gears. I'm grateful for a winning a large amount but the hoops they make you jump through to cash a winning is absurd. Earliest appointment is in 3 weeks. I need to drive to St.Albert while they have a perfectly set up office in Calgary.

Makes me want to just download bet365 but I dont like online gambling. They ask so many questions, set up an interview and then after interview there is a 2nd investigation before they actually give you the cheque. It's sports betting, like what is there to investigate? If I paid a ref off? Online the money would already be in my account.

Elon, just change the name back to Twitter. It has been how long and people are still writing, “… posted on X, formerly known as Twitter”.

It’s like anytime an article mentions a Metric unit and they have brackets next to explaining what that is in Miles/Fahrenheit/whatever.

Three times this week I tried to step out of an elevator right as the doors opened and someone pushed through me to get on. Let people exit first, #######s.

Fight back, reprogram them. Every time the door starts to open get your face right up to it and let out a massive cough(or if you can sneeze on command, even better). With any luck a few direct face hits will fix them.

a strong incentive for the richest among us to divests their wealth and invest it in the society that helped them become fabulously wealthy

Or they can evade the tax and we have really colourful executions. win win

I read online that we now have more wealth inequality than France did before their revolution. Let them eat flakes is our modern day let them eat cake, except, some rich pompous ####### CEO actually said it.

Eat the rich! Hang them all from their balls!

edit: to clarify, when I say rich, I don't mean the double meat crowd who dont know what groceries cost because their personal assistant does it for them, i mean, billionaires. I really doubt a single billioniare exist who comes here.
