Ah, that's the beauty of getting older: eventually you have no friends or family.
Even more fun is that Fokker eventually moved to the US in the 1920s and morphed into North American Aviation, famous for producing the P-51 Mustang and other airplanes. Those fokkers was inside the house!
And nose and ears.
The ear hair is what gets me. I was at work one time and noticed a single three-inch hair growing off the back of my ear. WTF.
Reminds me of the Tosh line: "being an ugly woman is like being a man -- you're gonna have to get a job."
I honestly don't think he has PTSD, doesn't seem the type. He spent the war riding around in an M48 tank so I don't think he saw any shit up close. More like a B52 pilot than an actual combatant.
That would be kind of funny if it worked. "I'll give you the $7000, but to do it I'll need you to set up an Amazon gift card in my name with $100 in it."
When I lived in Florida, this old woman hit the news because scammers called her claiming to be the police and they asked her to help them with a case by putting $5000 of her own money in a paper bag and leaving it at a shopping mall. She did this so they called her again and said they almost got the guy but that they wanted her to leave another five grand in a paper sack at the mall. So she did it again. She only ended up calling the police because the scammers called her a third time and when she left the paper bag full of money nobody came to get it. They must have figured at that point that nobody could possibly be that gullible and lost their nerve.
"Give me $7000 in bitcoin or I will send the video to your loved ones." Uh, joke's on you motherfucker.
I did this to become a programmer. No CS degree, learned to program by working on a personal project (music composition software), formed an LLC and sold the app as shareware back in the day when there was such a thing and people would pay $29.95 (!) for it. Still didn't make nearly enough to live on, got a real job with a resume that listed my own company as my first employment. Wasn't even dishonest about it, listed my role as "sole proprietor". Maybe the people reviewing my resume didn't know what a proprietor was.
TBF this was the '90s when Internet startups were hiring anything with a pulse.
I think the plan is to replace nurses with just letting people die instead.
I have a co-worker who fought in Vietnam. I showed him the thing about the Pentagon straight up admitting that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was bullshit, but he refused to accept it. Still feels that we had to fight that war because if we had allowed the communists to win, it would have meant that communism would have taken over the world ... even though we actually did lose that war.
All AI companies do.
