        \_ It's just another sign of the ongoing third-worldization of the
           US.  Concentration of wealth in the hands of the elite, less
           social mobility, no middle class, decreased access to medicine
           and education.  Third-worldization.

8/15    motd not getting laid guy here.  the girlfriend is playing
        WoW 3-5 hours a night and has fell in love with her WoW mentor.
        I guess he helps her run through levels?  Not sure how it works.
        She freely admits she has never seen him and he probably weighs
        500 pounds.
        \_ Why does that matter if she's not interested in sex?
           \_ She's just a roommate now.  She's not fucking him and she
              doesn't love him.  Dude, time for her to go, don'tcha

                 up with her, or if he can do better, in which case

        \_ motd not getting laid guy here again.  the girlfriend has opened
           a blog for her WoW character.  I will update later if my life
           continues to spiral down into despair.
           \_ Dude, for your future psychological good, just dump her and
              either leave or kick her to the curb.  Who is paying the rent?
              \_ Wow, as a WoW obsessed blogger, I bet she's not a great
                 physical specimen either.  How about it MNGLG?  Is she
                 a woofer?

8/15    REX TILLERSON: Well, I think it has to do with an ability to understand
        just the size of our business. Everything we do, the numbers are very
        large. I saw someone characterize our profits the other day in terms of
        $1,400 in profit per second. Well, they also need to understand we paid
        $4,000 a second in taxes, and we spent $15,000 a second in cost. We
        spend $1 billion a day just running our business. So this is a business
        where large numbers are just characteristic of it.
