Reminds me of the Oil futures drunk-trading incident (2009)

I'm in.

This is why they're known as wedge issues because there's no compromise.

I was a funeral director. I got to know all the religious leaders in my town.

I knew another priest who loved making "wife bad" boomer jokes at funerals whenever a surviving spouse died. Lots of "Her husband has been enjoying paradise in heaven...and now his wife is there..." and "st. Peter gives a test to enter heaven, you need to spell 'love'. St. Peter wants a break and gives this task to a man who sees his wife coming to the pearly gates. He tells his wife that she must spell a word before entering heaven. His wife asks what the word is. The man says 'onamonapia'"

Those definitely got some uncomfortable laughs

I knew a priest who liked to say he only smoked after sex.

I had to create an account on a government website. The website didn't list a character limit so I used a password manager to generate a 32 character password. My account was created but I couldn't log in. I used the "forgot my password" option and I received an email of my password in plain text. I also noticed why I couldn't log in. The password was truncated to just 20 characters. Brilliant website! Tax dollars at work!

I pirated old editions of most textbooks but I had a few professors that required a textbook that came with a code that you'd need to register for online quizzes. Answering these online quizzes was 30% of your grade in the course, so not buying the textbook was essentially taking a -30% penalty to your grade. If that wasn't bad enough, one of the textbooks like that was solely written by the professor teaching the course. It was around 100 pages of basic facts and then a code for online quizzes and sold for $200. This guy taught a class of 400 first year students. What a racket.

Not American. Does the president have a special bank account he can use however he wants?

Right, but nobody tells anyone interested in physics to read Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. If you're interested in history, sure. If you're interested in physics, read a modern physics textbook.

Reading Marx is like reading Adam Smith. Both wrote about economic systems before economics was even a thing. All ideas start somewhere but our ideas, and our society, have advanced dramatically in the 140+ years they've been dead. They're more interesting for historical purposes than economic ones.

I always loved the line in Lil Dicky's Lemme Freak.
