For about 3 days now at least there have been no showtimes at that theater and I haven't wanted to go to any others. I suppose I can hit northpark today after work, but traffic to get there sucks.
Going to join tomorrow.. just looking for advice on where to park
A selection of the idle rich.
919 - He allegedly accrued gambling debts excessing 14$ million then dipped from the city. He was a friend to night shift concierge, and gave him business tips (for all they were worth).
918 – owned several Rolls-Royces. Old Money. Elite and Erudite. Wife was a women of high expectations in every regard. I managed never to slip up when helping them – not that they would have been classless enough to lose their temper.
917 – Hobby Farmer bf Arts Patron gf.
916 – Was probably a classy escort, also owned a rolls, conducted photoshoots in the apartment with snooty European models. Very secretive, concerned with stalkers and drone flights near her windows. Pedantic and neurotic about deliveries (do not knock, leave them on the table outside). Only saw her in person once and she was very glamorous, otherwise existed as a breathy voice on the other end of the phone line. I did whatever she asked me to do!
915 – Apparently very wealthy. They left the country during the pandemic to conduct european business. Bruna and Thiago, their housekeeper and handyman were dating, but split in a well publicised argument, then both remained working in the building. Thiago covered her car in orange paint and earned himself an AVO. My coworker and I celebrated NYE 2019 on the roof above this apartment. had the best view of the fireworks in town.
914 – Mostly vacant except for one middle aged guy. Seemed on one occasion to be a bit of a tool, he reminded me of unlikeable law students I have known.
913 – Irish couple but not sure if north or south. Probably northern. Detached and snobby. He was a climate denier judging by the literature inside his apartment. They ordered crate loads of wine every week.
912 – Patrick Bateman collared aesthetic. Many arguments in the basement with him over parking spaces. “Tell John to go fuck himself,” he would say. neighbor in Question being another of Australia’s richest men. Two people with a net worth of close to 100 million (idk tbh) arguing over a single car space. Selfish and stubborn, perhaps explaining why he became a millionaire. Exquisite car collection, mclarens, ferrraris, jaguar E types. One of the richest and most immature men I have ever come across.
911 -He happened to have the same name as a somewhat famous diplomat. When I mentioned this to him, he told me he had heard it hundreds of times and became dissapointed. His wife had a breakdown in the concierge lobby once when we were discussing
... keep reading on reddit ➡In 75 BC, Julius Ceasar was a mere pup of a politician aged just 25.
But Julius was a strategist. He knew how to think differently.
He was captured by Cilician pirates in the Aegean Seas. They demanded a ransom of 20 talents of silver, which is worth about $600k.
Ceasar laughed in their faces and commanded the pirates to demand 50 talents of silver ( $1.5 million) for his release. The pirates were shocked but naturally agreed.
Caesar sent some of his men back to Rome to raise the ransom. It took them 38 days to achieve this.
50 talents of silver was the biggest ransom Rome had ever seen. Dignitaries of much greater fame and importance had been ransomed for much, much less.
This, of course, made Ceasar famous in Rome. Romans were gossiping as to why such a young politician should command and achieve such a huge ransom.
Anyone that knew Ceasar bragged about their relationship in order to elevate their own profile.
Caesar, himself, became social currency.
This strategy started him on his path to becoming Emperor.
Perceived Value Bias
Perceived value is the value a service or product has in the mind of the consumer.
How we frame the price and features massively influences the perceived value.
Caesar's huge, record-breaking ransom instantly catapulted his personal brand and perceived value ( importance) to the top.
Overnight, Caesar became the most talked-about politician in Rome.
P.S Caesar returned to the island he had been held captive and crucified the pirates. Although, as he’d grown fond of them during his capture he took mercy by slitting their throats first.
Salt Bae: The Meme, The Man, The Legend
Salt Bae has 28 restaurants frequented by A list celebrities across the world including New York, London, and Dubai. They are the most expensive steak restaurants on the planet, where steaks dipped in gold leaf cost up to $1,750 and burgers cost $125 ( n.b fries are extra! )
Placebo Marketing Effect
People believe food or wine that is more expensive tastes better.
The more expensive something is the more placebo value is attached.
Researchers told groups that the cheap wine they were drinking was the most expensive and they scored it higher.
The researchers told the same group the most expensive wine was the cheapest and they scored it lower.
There is, it seems, a limit to the placebo effect. S
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Trying to pinpoint the era in which nu-metal started really tumbling off the proverbial cliff and I think it's 2007 to 2011. That period - to me - is when nu-metal stopped being taken seriously by basically everyone. The genre's A-listers were either running away from it at full speed (Linkin Park, Deftones), breaking up (System of a Down), hitching their wagons to trends for relevance (Korn), or cranking it out to vastly diminishing returns (Limp Bizkit). Meanwhile the B and C listers were all but wiped out, dropped from their labels and not even coming close to chart hits.
What do you think? Did this era produce any lost classics I should be aware of?
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
You take away their little brooms
