Took a deep dive. I really liked this album and the one after it. Anything before it was a tough listen for me. I think a revisit with newer synths would be nice. but that’s just me! Loved this track, thanks for posting.
I’m assuming you’re American… If you have an SSN, you will get credit card offers. It’s called prescreened offers. They get that information from credit bureaus, which already have your SSN. You can opt out if credit card offers and the bureaus selling your data for 10 years I think.
Kara was effectively stealing 20% of LRT fares over the 13-year period; one in five coins that were fed into the machines by the paying public ended up in his shaving bag, amounting to around 2 million customer journeys. It seems inconceivable that he wasn’t caught sooner.
This really does seem inconceivable. I’m an industry accountant and worked in the safe room counting drawers for a supermarket and a cafeteria. I lose it when I’m not balanced, even $10 on a 200k deposit. How… How was someone not noticing 20%?? Hell he deserves it with the lack of controls in place. Maybe things were different then…
As something of a history buff I’ve read about a fair few Kings and Queens through history. There are many of them, most mediocre, a lot of them objectively bad, however, now and again one stands out from the masses as a good one....
Ozempic is the big one, but there is Rybelsus, Trulicity, Wegovy, and others. They are for treating type 2 diabetes, but have been very popular for preventing type 2 diabetes, aka weight loss.

Look, you’re never going to change the ‘lazy’ person, that’s just how they are. You’re also not going to change how the ‘hard worker’ person feels about the lazy person. What you can do is change how you react to this situation. You’ll need to set some boundaries. Tell hard worker “listen, lazy is my friend too and I really don’t like it when you talk about this person behind their back. It puts me in an uncomfortable situation and I would appreciate it if you would keep that topic to yourself.” Friendships evolve and this will either make it or break it. If it breaks, then hard worker was never that great of a friend to begin with. A friend respects boundaries.
