  • Insurance is the biggest racket in the world. They literally looked at mobsters running protection schemes on local businesses and said "I bet that's scalable." It's why I will never have sympathy for people like Brian Thompson. He chose to do gangster shit and he got whacked. Them's the fuckin' breaks, pal.

  • I lived in Florida for 20+ years. The beach is wildly overrated. Unless you surf or dive (and FL sucks for surfing), there's literally nothing to do except walk and sit on sand. Though I will say this: if you're allowed to have a bonfire on the beach at night, it becomes infinitely more fun. But that's pretty much banned in FL.

    So yeah, I will opt for the forest almost every time.

  • Try music. My brain seems to click better with words when they are sung. Once I learn the lyrics and what they mean, singing along helps me program them into my brain much better than reading or watching movies/TV.

  • 'Death in the City of Light' by David King. It's a true crime story about a serial killer in Nazi occupied Paris. Dude would trick Jews into thinking he was smuggling them out, then kill them. Truly diabolical.

  • There's racism for sure, but it's more than that. American government is damn near a religious institution, with the Founding Fathers as the prophets and the Constitution as the Bible. It's more than ideological. It's dogmatic. And just like with religion, they pick and choose which parts they believe to justify their goals at any given moment. This is also why they won't adopt a system that does the best for the most people possible. Their religion/government demands a hierarchy where a few enjoy paradise, and the rest suffer.

  • He may have had previous charges for kidnapping and child endangerment, and took a plea to get the charges reduced. Then under his conditions of the plea, if he violates the restraining order he gets re-charged with those, and no option to plea out. I've seen stuff like that happen to lots of folks.

    That'd be my best guess, but I could be wrong.
