    not betting on it with my own. Gates can afford to say and think anything. these fuckers ... with every home run they hit, they whiff, badly, 10,000 times. they can afford those whiffs.

    The job I got post college I could have done without going into a bunch of debt.

    Playing Call of Duty professionally in my mom's basement isn't all that bad though. I get to smoke weed all day and an unlimited supply of Mountain Dew/Hot Pockets/Doritos.
