OP should try opening the pickle jar with their thighs

There are indeed many forms of money laundering which are considered illegal in America, and it is absolutely illegal if someone is accepting funds derived from illicit activity or sanctioned entities (like Russia). The government and most financial institutions generally take the stance that there are very few good reasons to obscure the ultimate source of funds, and so tend to be very risk-averse with such activity.

The trick is in confirming anything illicit is going on when there are potentially dozens of steps and borders in between the source and the recipient.

The first thing you said here is pretty spot on for me. Losing weight is largely a psychological battle, so giving people a simple task list doesn’t always work.

What we need to understand is that “losing weight” goes against our biological programming. We have evolved over millenia to crave carbohydrates (sugars) and fats because they are ready sources of energy, and to only undertake strenuous physical activity if absolutely necessary. In developed nations today neither of these leads to very healthy living, so we need to actively fight against our reptile brains to stay healthy.

As you said, consistency is key. You don’t get healthy by working out 9 hours one day only and eating salad for a week, you get healthy by making small, manageable healthy choices every day.

Try doing a little more exercise this week than you did last week. You can increase time, intensity, or frequency of whatever your chosen activity is. Try deprogramming your need for ultra-sweet foods by limiting your sugar intake and always try to consume fiber with your sugars (raw fruits are great for this.)

Little by little you will see beneficial changes

Stopped drinking my calories (alcohol, juice, soda, etc.) and fell in love with running.

You would think by now AML investigators from every corner of the globe would be watching this guy’s accounts like a hawk with a microscope.

I know that sometimes tracing cashflow is a delicate art, but it can definitely be done, especially if you are working with government-level resources

The Man Show was on air for 6 consecutive seasons starting in 1999. Their premier episode featured Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel sitting outside trying to get people to sign a petition to end women’s suffrage (as a joke, bro. Obviously it’s a joke!)

These guys are doing agile better than any team I’ve ever worked with…

Not malware, just ad revenue generators. Although I guess this depends on how widely you define “malware” since many of them are probably scraping, at a minimum, usage statistics while you play and possibly also device data and who knows what else.

You get 1-2 minutes of gameplay in between each ad and all of the “levels” are probably generated once by a program (rather than a human actually designing the level layout/challenges) to minimize startup costs. I’d be willing to bet that if you traced the ownership structures for the types of games the OP is talking about you’d find a handful of megacorps owning hundreds of them and just reusing assets and programming as well.

Then of course there’s the sinister preying on your psychology in subtle ways to keep you invested just enough to sit through the ad the play the next level.

People told me “oh yeah, gaming on Linux is a comparable or even better experience compared with gaming on windows.” Well after a whole weekend spent troubleshooting and trying different distros only to get 20fps max and no controller support for a 5 year old pc game I went back to windows and was playing within about 30 minutes including the time to install the OS.

Edit: Before you go giving me tips: yes, I tried that too. You’re missing the point if your solution to the above is “more troubleshooting, I guess.”

ThinkPad is now Lenovo just FYI. They were acquired some years ago and now Lenovo makes and sells the ThinkPad line of hardware

Yes. Just got back from the pediatrician and the take home handout said (again) not to feed your kid juice as there’s little to no nutritional value and a butt load of sugar

Not sure how common this is nationally, but around here it’s also common for the older generation to maintain two properties a “home” in the city/metro area near their kids or grandkids and a “cabin” which is literally a second home somewhere else.

I think it’d be great to give up the home in the metro and downsize to a condo or apartment, but that’s just me.

Red flag collectors are in for a great year

Kids are mean (yes you are still kid when you’re an undergrad)

400 iq play is getting to the red pill multiple times and then taking the blue pill once you’re satisfied with your path. Catch me on NG+10 taking the blue pill

I agree, but I also feel that decision should be made at the federal level thereby barring a candidate from ALL states rather than states selectively barring candidates they don’t like.

Thank you! This is an easy pill for some of us to swallow when these states are barring Trump, but blocking a candidate from the ballot for ANY reason at the state level sets a dangerous precedent.

It seems to be from some kind of Reddit end of year highlights reel. I think OP probably engaged with the post about Apollo shutting down a lot (voted, commented, maybe viewed it a great deal of times, etc.) and so Reddit served them this little “highlights” card.

OP is now sharing it here as a “remember where we came from / fuck Reddit amirite” post
