As time went by I reverted to a known situation and booked a place closed to Heraklion, a city about the same size as my own ( https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluj-Napoca ), in the suburbs. For tax purposes, I live in the most populated village in Romania...

Is "all-inclusive" an American thing as well, a Global thing maybe? Because in Europe it's the status quo. It's the 15'th year or so since I started taking my vacation in Greece in the summer and after dabbling with a few other destinations, Turkey, Netherlands, Italy, Cyprus...

No reply yet so lemme share some random thoughts. The #1 benefit I'm getting from consuming alcohol is not the buzz, although I'm not dismissing that as a bonus. It's psychological: reliably and reproducibly like an antibiotic that kills bacteria infection, alcohol kills empathy feelings in my...

Who you call at 8 AM: "Dude, let's meet for a coffee" and he replies "OK, lemme finish my beer".

So when you think kindly of the Spatha-bearers, realize they were highly aware mercenaries who wouldn't give a fuck given their salary that they were hired to protect this:

s/Romanian/Mississippian/g Also name is totally lost in the US. A spatha-bearer was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatharios "The spatharii or spatharioi (singular: Latin: spatharius; Greek: σπαθάριος, literally "spatha-bearer") were a class of Late Roman imperial bodyguards"

Not sure how many of you still read novels and from novel genre especially (Science) fiction and from that subgenre especially parody SciFi / Fantasy. Here's an excerpt from a talented local source, I reckon if I make an effort in translating to English and change the name and places with...

Got it, thanks.

Post incognito question. I've got a moral dilemma that I mostly resolved but wouldn't have hurt to hear a few of the opinions I grew to trust here, including the incognito opinion of ET owner whom I would have in no way recognized because it's incognito

So we actually reached the point where we're masturbating at cartoons.

I don't think it serves justice to put LGBT and pedos in the same bucket (semantic category as implied by the title). For starters LGBT might be annoying to some especially due to mentally ill woke activists and their Hollywood lackeys crapping on every movie or franchise they can put their...

Well the standard response from the companies upon hearing an employee is having a second job is summary execution (by firing). I know a few guys that were laid off unceremoniously because of this so best approach is to keep quiet.

Fake LinkedIn account. Real ID but they can't get shit with that on me thanks to GDPR.

I know, reading https://www.reddit.com/r/overemployed/ got me the idea in the first place :D A year later I'm paying off the leftover mortgage on my apartment, not a trivial sum which I'd have to pay for another 15 years. After they raised my rate by almost 40%!:mad: An American friend asked...

Employers certainly don't like that, they want the employer's body and soul 24 hours out of 24. But legally they only own 8 hours of my time and I'm working 12 hours days anyways be it a second job, learning new stuff (programming is hard, gotta keep up) or my own side projects that haven't...

It is possible to create backtest framework for it using brainfuck, doesn't mean it's a good idea to do so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

Have been born and having lived quite a while in communist Romania, I'm quite familiar with how a totalitarian system works and what you need to do to survive - essentially doublethink. It's hard even for established democracies to maintain functionality and not turn into a shitshow (like woke...

Sure, AI is basically "the magic ring" or "genie in the bottle", "golden fish" etc. You don't have to know anything anymore, learn, work, no, because it's magic. You can be a drooling imbecile, all you need is rub the bottle and say "AI, make me some money" and they will effortlessly...

Poetic is fine but I'd very much preferred a Prophetic strategy.

Yeah, you won't learn jacksh*it. Or as much as digging trenches and wheelbarrowing mortar up the strairs will teach you about building castles. Probably you'd learn more about castles as the lowest peasant employed to do some work around it than you will find about successful trading working as...
