I break things. Then I put them back together. Then I break them again. Just to show I mean business.

You know… In my life I’ve had to talk a few people out of scams.

I know they were scammed, it’s blatantly a scam, the evidence is overwhelming, my experience is solid, everyone I know of’s experience says the same.

Yet they will argue with you back and forth and never really be satisfied because they want to believe it so much, and I imagine it stings a good bit being told you’re being ripped the fuck off and you’re too stupid or inexperienced to understand that.

I’m never confrontational about it, I just make it very perfectly clear that proceeding would be extremely ill advised, and that even their own worries brought them to me asking for my opinion because they trust my judgment.

It scares me how long it takes to convince them, and how often in the end they come to me a month later and I ask them how it went, and they went and bought it anyway, for whatever far fetched rationalization they managed to construct for themselves.

Psychology is real, psychology is simple, all it takes to control humans is to have no care for anything but yourself.

WELCOME TO FINANCE! There are no rules, and if we break them, we remake them!

This is a case where I literally both hate the player and the game.

I’m making four flights soon with the Boeing 737 Max 8. I’m sure the software is probably all updated and debugged properly.

I thought that was a sub for people who didn’t like that they were eels or something.
