Working hard increases the chances of success is a better way to phrase it but networking is basically a necessity and luck is paramount

Fentanyl isn’t as dangerous when you’ve been slamming dope every day for a decade, you might purposely seek it out at that point

He also got into Harvard law despite being by his own admission a total fuckup. If you or I spend our adolescence committing crime and doing drugs we don’t get to go to Harvard but rfk got rewarded for his continual shitty decisions with one of the most prestigious educations followed up by an elite career in law. I am sure it was not a secret he was using the entire time and yet he continued to fail upwards. At least at this point he did some good for the world. Too bad he’s undone it all and then some (another measles outbreak today in Kansas)

He was actually a lawyer and was fairly well known for defending environmental causes, minority groups, and disenfranchised communities

If he didn’t take this turn later he probably would’ve been remembered as a fairly decent man who turned his life around (a former heroin addict) and did good things

Instead he is known who destroyed the country’s healthcare system. I personally don’t believe he was ever a former addict. I think he was a shitty child of extreme privilege (objectively true) who was an asshole that stole shit from people and sold drugs despite having access to extreme wealth in his teens (objectively true) and kept doing heroin until he finally got caught by someone who couldn’t sweep it under the rug late into his law career (objectively true). At this point he had been doing heroin 10+ years and apparently quit for good with one rehab stint (highly suspect).

Given his privilege and the timing (late 80s) I suspect he got access to a corrupt doctor that wrote him tons of adderall scripts and he just changed his addiction to something “legitimate” (conjecture). Maybe he cleaned himself up over the next 40 years and that’s why he now he has such a beef against adderall and psych meds now. Classic right wing projection: I can’t take these without slamming 25 a day and become a methd up zombie so I assume everyone is the same (also conjecture, obviously).

Significantly better, and if you have in ear headphones it’s worth it to see if you can get custom molded tips while you’re bothering as this will noticeably improve audio quality and noise cancelling

Hard inquiries stay on your report for 2 years but stop impacting your credit after a year

It’s not a huge deal unless you’re planning to buy a car or a house or something relatively soon

You can dispute them but they were all legitimate so you might as well just wait, it’s not that long. Your score was excellent so unless you incur a ton of debt It shouldnt go down all that much. And again, unless you’re planning to do something that is contingent on your credit within the next year or two it doesnt really matter

I do own a house (finally got one in my late 30s) but part of what got me here is ignoring dental care (missing 2 teeth)

I would be missing three but I went to Costa Rica once for unrelated reasons and got an implant while I was there. Ruined my trip a little bit because getting an implant sucks but it was $750 vs $5100 in America (with pretty good insurance)

If you’re missing teeth for a long time (I’m pushing 8 years now) the rest of your teeth start moving around. It’s a real problem. Additionally once this happens missing teeth can exacerbate hip and back problems! Your jaw misaligns and then your posture gets fucked up

best country in the world

That’s ritard, short for ritardando

Unless you meant a non chord tone resolving downwards but that’s retardation

Somewhat misleading headline but still cool

And yet with lack of enforcement it functionally does not exist even if it is written on some piece of paper

If a broken law is not enforced does it functionally exist?

Obviously timing to be replaced by someone even worse

And now he can use his newly padded resume to get a cushy executive job at wherever guts the remainder of the usps

This is nothing on the order of watergate, prism, etc and you and I both know this admin has that level of corruption going on

Sit on this bombshell, which is ultimately that the admin uses a non approved communication modality that hides their tracks (shocker, they’re afraid of being on record). You still have evidence of that by sitting on this. Wait until they drop some real shit and leak that. But that would probably end with you needing to leave the country
