Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

[Cills99 @cills99]

Absolutely horrific.

“Let me get this straight, you can buy a burrito on an interest-free instalment plan?”

“That’s right, and we’re not even based in the Chipotle store.”

“So, you finance this by packaging the burrito instalment loans into Burrito CDO A, which has part of Burrito CDO B and both get put into Burrito CDO C?”

“Yeah. The original loans are backed by burritos. Chicke. Pork. Carne Asada. Whatever. But Burrito CDO C is a synthetic Burrito CDO. A CDO of Burrito CDOs.”

“Ok, let’s say we have an underlying pool of $10,000 in burritos. How much money could be out there betting on instalment loans and your synthetic burrito CDOs?”

“Probably $100,000,000.”

“C’mon! How much bigger is the market for burrito instalment loans than actual edible real-life cheesy burritos?”

��At least 100x.”

“That is fucking crazy.”

“No, it’s awesome.”

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

This are some of the messages I received lately after loosing some matches. Just a few of them. There’s hundreds. And now, being 30 years old, although they still hurt, because at the end of the day, I’m just a normal girl working really hard and trying my best, I have tools and have done work to protect myself from this hate. But still, this is not ok.

It really worries me when I think about younger players coming up, that have to go through this. People that still haven’t yet developed fully as a human and that really might be affected by this hate. Maybe you can think that it doesn’t hurt us. But it does. We are humans. And sometimes, when we receive this messages we are already emotionally destroyed after a tough loss. And they can be damaging. Many before me have raised the subject. And still, no progress has been made.

Social media platforms don’t prevent it, despite AI being in a very advanced position. Tournaments and the sport keeps partnering with betting companies, which keep attracting new people to unhealthy betting. The days of cigarette brands sponsoring sports are long gone. Yet, here we are promoting betting companies, which actively destroy the life of some people. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they should be banned as people are free to do whatever they want with their money. But maybe we should not promote them. Also, if someone decided to say this things to me in public, he could have legal issues. So why online we are free to do anything? Shouldn’t we reconsider anonymity online?

I know those who write these terrible messages won’t change because of this. But maybe you, next time you see a post from an athlete, singer or any other person, that has failed or lost, you will remember that she or he is also a human being, trying his best in life.

Be kind. Give love. Enjoy life ❤️

The Around the NFL Podcast overhaul is mind-boggling.

Mind. Boggling.

To take a podcast with that kind of popularity, that built a fan base before the space was way over saturated, and act like they can just build something different and the consistency doesn’t matter is… 🤯.

Great article from @MalachyClerkin

@IrishTimes "Dr Avril Challoner, an environmental specialist engaged by TII said the Metrolink was a “gold star” project in terms of its commitment to reducing carbon emissions, and once operational 100 per cent of its energy use would be form renewable sources"

Why not lead with that??

[Cills99 @cills99]

A great article that seems even more relevant today.

I hate it when senior financial officers take 'throwaway email comments' as a direct action and carry them out to my direct financial benefit.

Now Hill tells PAC 'he made a suggestion in relation to my own holiday days', which was 'regarded as a request' by Finance Director
