Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

I don’t want to talk about if we should show grace to the Nazi tattoo guy or if he should stop running & go back to his cushy job anymore I will just say that many states in the early 2000s either attempted to or passed laws where you could be fined, processed or imprisoned for sagging your pants.

I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

Not only is it going to be a hunger crisis, it's going to be a farm crisis. All those gallons of milk bought from dairy farmers, all the produce, all the on sale ground beef and packs of chicken that are paid for by SNAP are subsidies to farmers who don't qualify for commodities subsidies.

food banks need monetary donations (that means MONEY) from people who have the means to give. if you can, make the donation monthly. this helps out the food bank more than one large donation.

Watch this and listen carefully.

Singapore PM on the change in the global order given the US is no longer the insurer of stability - a sentiment that will go beyond the current administration. But nobody else has stepped in building a foundation of multipolarity amid turbulence.

i can see what you're saying.
yeah. i like the cleaner production quality on power metal cause i can hear more of the instrumentation and the bigger sound. like the cleaner production quality on classical for the same reason. but! you make very good points.

Writers, what is most often the very first whiff of a story idea you get? A vibe? Characters? A central conflict?

I want to see something.

i normally come across something i see that inspires me. something in nature. an object that's broken and off kilter. a painting. something i saw on the road.

looking around and being curious i guess.
