I thought that the whole point of marrying a billionaire was so that you didn't have to live like this....

interesting about removing blue light.

 

[Leo]

how much of that is true, you think?

 

[IdleRich]

It is interesting.... but I find that whole passage profoundly depressing. It's like with Mark Wahlberg and his gym routine that involves getting up at four am every day to work out for four hours or whatever it was. There must be more to life than this.... especially for these gilded elite, mustn't there?

 

[IdleRich]

how much of that is true, you think?

I wondered that too. The filter thing sounds a bit much.... I dunno. I bet she does do all those things, but surely not every day?

 

[catalog]

it's tough at the top.

 

[Turns out HMG was right!]

how much of that is true, you think?

Absolutely none of it

 

[IdleRich]

I dunno. Sometimes I go to bed with a dehumidifier on too. It is possible if you focus.

 

[Leo]

Absolutely none of it

that's my feeling, I think she's yankin' their chain.

If the monkey drew a circle in the sky, cut the shape out and climbed through the porthole, i'd buy shares

Yanking her own ... chain

Up , down , up down - EM has a cool 2 billion coming in from NASA.
The switch from paying Vlad Putin to fly people up to the Space Station to having Space X do it ?
Priceless and i wish it all well.
No one likes to see those giant silver tubes of fuel just go up ...and explode.

I get the feeling the sentiment in the second tweet is "Gates is a dorky nerd who looks like his mum still cuts his hair and chooses his clothes, whereas Musk is a rad sweet dudebro who smokes weed and is into, like, aliens and shit."

 

[Mr. Tea]

... whereas Musk is a rad sweet dudebro who smokes weed and is into, like, aliens and shit."

"So apart from the fact that he's a centibillionaire and I work in a video game store, we're basically pretty similar."

 

[Leo]

do they trust that one day a SpaceX rocket will land without blowing up? seems kind of important if you're going to take people to space and back, but that's just me.

I think you're missing the point, which isn't to successfully land a rocket, but to be dIsRuPtIvE.
