A man from Illinois was arrested for getting $224,000 worth of manure dumped on his former employer’s property, only two weeks after he won $125 million at the lottery and quit his job.

54-year old Brian Morris, from the small town of Clarendon Hills in Dupage County, bought over 20,000 tons of manure and asked for it to be dumped on his former boss’ property, pretending it was his residence … Brian Morris had attracted a lot of media attention two weeks ago after winning $125 million at Powerball Multi-state lottery.

When asked by organizers what he would do with the money, he had simply answered: “Just read the news, you’ll see.“

I like this guy

@Kak

No you've got it all wrong!!! According to Dr. Deborah Birx, Fauci, and the MSM, C0VlD-19 is 'extraordinarily widespread' in US!

So the actual death rate should be even lower!

Stop spreading misinformation! /s

Had to nitpick, but it's 3%



With alot of data now on the chinese flu, it's interesting to see the numbers



Considering that's New York, uhhh...the city with some of the worst air pollution from cars, cigarettes, and good old American obesity.....

It's funny to see people are all of a sudden wearing masks and gloves when the best prevention is just being a healthy person. I've been sick a couple times this year and who knows, maybe I had corona... doesn't stop me from sprinting hills and doing workouts.

You should get MJ on the show, bet it would be a fun show.

I keep saving up my rants/joyful expressions of dark glee/ actual happy moments.. and then not posting them... then they got longer... oh whatevs I’m sick of seeing them. So in no particular order.. here ya go.

That dude is getting likes but he’s a narcissist and I know it and someone needs to end him.

My friends all discussed politics today and they were nice!!

Im still thinking about that whole “fear is depression is fear” thing and it’s kinda blowing my mind a little.

Omg.Dude. I tried to effing help you and you were just another blatant self-absorbed a-hole who wanted to get clicks on your site!!! Grrr.

I know this new dude is a baddie I just KNOW it!!!!! When is somebody cool and powerful going to END HIM!??!!

I totes wish I was cool and powerful.

Oh yeaaaa I am. Hehehe. This is part of my master plan. Oh wait.. I shouldn’t admit that.

I’m sick of ppl showing selfies of themselves wearing masks.. like aren’t we all doing the “RIGHT F*ckING THING” by wearing them in the first place?!?!? Isn’t that enough for you?!? Why do I need to be inundated with pics of your whole F*cking family wearing masks?!?! Get off it Karen!! Ffs!

I still don’t have a posse on this forum and I’m sad about that.

If I had a posse we’d discuss who would be best to tag to end that narcissist guy because my friends would all, after much discussion, be swayed by my brilliant logic that he’s a bad effing guy but they’d be too nice to say anything either and then I’d be like “we should tag somebody to destroy that dude!” And then we would tag.. hmm.. who would we tag.. I need super brilliant.. gahhhh I dunno who to tag.

I should get off fb again I think it raises my blood pressure.

Something about Tesla...

Something about my real estate stocks...

Something about capers..

Meh that’s about it.

$80 for a hoodie ?!?!? Yikes

The power of brands.

It makes me think about Kylie Jenner to some extend. Although in her case, she lied.

I think we should be cautious with this. I don't think Gymshark delivers the value it is worth, unlike other expensive brands like Apple, for example. Sure, you're paying 1000$ for a phone, but that phone can do stuff. In the case of clothing (gymclothes!!), structuring the value of the company on the brand alone...mmhhh. Ok, maybe I shouldn't compare phone companies to clothing, or maybe I should, because it shows how overpriced it is.

When I was a kid, G-Star, Bikkemberg, Abercrombie were brands that had built their fortune on branding and reputation. Today, they're all dead and their shops are empty.

So, I'm not sure. Fashion evolves. I don't think I would have had invested, had I had the chance to.

But I'm gonna stop hating. They worked, they made money, they didn't break the law, so they deserve all the respect they can get.

The products itself aren't exactly valuable but they did a great job of marketing, good on them.

Is Gymshark made in China?
The company exports to more than 150 countries from its warehouse in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire – overseas sales represent three-quarters of turnover. The Redditch-based business is developing its own technical fabrics and outsources most of its manufacturing to China.

I'd guess it costs them a few dollars to make an $80 hoodie, and people are crazy enough to actually buy it.

The fashion industry is interesting, takes alot of work to convince people to buy overpriced crap.

Well you know, I mean, not exactly made made, like, we design in the UK, ohhhh, and very important, we have a warehouse in the UK!!! I mean, can you imagine that for a minute??? A warehouse, in the UK. Yep, we provide work in the UK, how 'bout dat? Oh, and we are based in Redditch, also in the UK. So it is a UK business really, and people from everywhere in the world want our clothes.
What was the question again?

At age of 75+, a ordinary flu can kill you.
If you take 65+, its 73.6% of deaths.

And as for ordinary flu:

Frequency	3–5 million severe cases per year[1]
Deaths	Up to 650,000 respiratory deaths per year[1][4]

Numbers are probably world wide but still.

This pandemic thing is 99.5% made up.

I've reached the conclusion that perfectionism is a form of fear and it has really been liberating.

I know you didn't mean it that way, but it's a bit unfortunate choice of words to use online towards someone who's literally named "Kid".

Ugh, I can't stand what Youtube has become. Something about this new school style of video doesn't sit well with me, people will gobble up garbage if it's wrapped in shiny packaging.

Props on the views but the style isn't my cup of tea.

ALMOST as good as the "real" thing.

They're just laughing at us now.

Prices Provide a Misleading Measure of Dollar Devaluation

There’s not a human being alive who doesn’t know the dollar is falling. Everyone over 25 has stories of what prices were like, way back when (and younger people have heard them). I remember when gasoline was 60 cents a gallon, and my mom remembers when it was 20 cents. Federal [...]

Bloomberg ran an article not too long ago criticizing the creation of new alphabet finance vehicles at the US treasury basically taking some money supply power away from the FED. Love him or hate him Trump is secretly trying to fix this massive problem over our centralized banking monopoly. The corrupt media called it facism but it’s really what most would agree on. And surprise surprise Bloomberg is part of the “club”.

Money printing and banking is ok to streamline the economy but if the model is wrong then problems can arise.
