My former friend named his boy Tristan. The Boss and I couldn't really hide our disappointment that he'd saddle his kid with a name that all-but-assured his kid would either become a dick or be bullied.

The friendship didn't end on child-naming grounds; I could no longer rationalize away his racism/authoritarianism. I miss him but I don't miss the hoops my conscience had to jump thru.

Hello,

Couldn't both happen - the kid's a dick and got bullied?

Always possible.

(I'm ashamed to say that while I was on the receiving end of some bullies in junior high, I also had people I picked on. I occasionally get those hot flushes of embarrassment when I think of how I tormented some kids with my “cleverness.”)

Don’t remember if this has been shared here but I’ve watched this 2 hour video maybe four times now and I’m still picking up new info regarding crypto. It’s a terrific takedown of the whole culture as well.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I don't recall this being shared, so thanks! I fully admit to not being all that econ literate, but crypto has always smelled of a scam to me, buttressed by the fact that its promoters always come off as untrustworthy slick fucks.
