Linguistically superfluous; invariably pernicious.
Words are very unnecessary; they can only do harm.
Think before you ink; the pen is mightier than the sword.
I wonder if he will continue the charade that side of the bars?

$MTU is now 10 cents per share. A market-cap of just R32.5 million. Whomever has been manipulating this share lower, I presume that they must have at least enough to buy up all the free-float at this valuation. Go on make you play!
Male your cross for the political future that most excites you, provided you have examined the evidence and considered its consequences for others. Then, let go of attachment to the outcome. ❌
If I were living in Jo’burg I would be out on Wednesday voting for @helenzille and the @Our_DA, but I live in a city that largely works becos’ the DA has been governing. Watch @Cy36ONE as he explains why this Joburg vote matters to investors youtu.be/GkDt3GBLc5g?si=2xLC…

All Money Is Debt.
This is the basic concept that you need to understand before you can understand Bitcoin or Crypto.
The question that you need to ask is how is Bitcoin debt?
Here is a question. Can a woman’s advances towards a man (whether on a dance floor, work environment, dinner) ever be labelled as predatory, and if so, what would that look like?

Since @Shoprite_SA purchase of @vidaecaffe we get silly wafer as substitute for Lindt Classic & two shots of expresso in an Americana is tasting insipid. Finally if u spend R220 at a till u don’t want only a 10% or 15% tip option, or is nothing better than R10 or R15?

Caught myself flirting with @ChatGPT Was struggling wth formatting something on my iPad as I didn’t have the paragraph options in my menu dropdown, so it suggested I use a table. My response was I didn’t want to format using a table, is it suggesting that I should use my desktop?
“Men in robes fight with semantics, but loaded words offer neither ample attack, nor sufficient defence, when the battle is to the blood. It is always better to put away a weapon that will not serve you well, than it is to provoke with it.”
This is called doubling-down and it is the most dangerous advice I have ever heard.
