Parents who do not recognize their children's talents 😱⚠️😾
Monday morning at school, the teacher lined up all the students to present their weekend homework assignment:
“Sell something, and explain your sales strategy.”
Sally went first.
“I sold Girl Scout cookies and made $30,” she said proudly.
“My approach was appealing to people’s sense of community and supporting local troops.”
“Excellent, Sally,” said the teacher.
Next up was Jenny.
“I sold magazines and made $45,” she said.
“I told people it would keep them up to date on world events.”
“Very good, Jenny,” the teacher nodded.
Then came Little Johnny, lugging a giant cardboard box that he plopped on the teacher’s desk.
Out spilled a mountain of cash.
The teacher blinked. “Johnny… how much did you make?”
“Two thousand, one hundred sixty-seven dollars.”
The class gasped. “What were you selling?”
“Toothbrushes.”
The teacher blinked again. “Toothbrushes?! How on earth did you sell that many?”
Johnny grinned. “At first, I couldn’t sell a single one. Nobody cared about toothbrushes. So I changed my strategy.”
“I set up a free chips and dip stand downtown during the lunch rush. Everyone who came by tried the dip.”
He paused. “And every single person said the same thing”
“Ew! This tastes like dog crap!”
Johnny nodded. “‘It is, I told them. Now… would you like to buy a toothbrush?’”
The class erupted in laughter.
The teacher, barely keeping a straight face, said, “Johnny… that’s disgusting! But… oddly impressive. What do you call that sales strategy?”
Johnny shrugged. “The government method: give people something crappy for free, then make them pay to fix it.”
📁 Them was in the east wing all along! ;)
What do Jeffrey Epsteins death, Ghislaine Maxwells transfer to a minimum-security prison & the #whitehouse east wing demolition have in common?
Dem orders came from the same place 😜
Small print: Dis is just a #meme / #joke, please don't send me to MAX <3

My latest startup provides AI-powered CI systems. Since I'm all about open source, here is the code:
bash -c 'if [ $RANDOM -lt 15000 ]; then echo SUCCESS; else echo FAILURE; exit 1; fi'
Business plan: if you pay more, you get to choose a higher value of 15000. If you pay enough, your CI runs will never fail!

"We know how hard times have been for so many families.
How costs have rocketed up.
How people are making sacrifices to make ends meet."
In her #SOTEU speech, President von der Leyen made it clear: we must tackle poverty at its roots.
That's why we'll soon launch a bold European Anti-Poverty Strategy to eradicate poverty by 2050, reinforced by a strong Child Guarantee.
This isn’t just policy.
It’s social justice.
Help shape our first-ever Anti-Poverty Strategy: https://link.europa.eu/7kW3k9
@EUCommission "to eradicate poverty by 2050" - MUHAHHAHAHHAAAAA, first of april #joke !
#Poverty exists because of you, politicians.
#Rich people only use the things what the politicians accept as law.
(don't do this, it was a #joke)

Silly #joke courtesy of the small child, not the dad.

New comiCSS cartoon: Trust issues
https://comicss.art/comics/206/
When you've worked with CSS long enough, you stop trusting anything: Gray vs DarkGray, Bold vs Bolder, SeaGreen vs MediumSeaGreen vs DarkSeaGreen vs LightSeaGreen... No wonder CSS Developers have trust issues!
