"These are gamer hours." LOL As an old gamer who was once a young gamer, so true. We are in good hands, friends. I stand with big balls.

I worked for a governmental organization once. We had a budget of almost 1300 bucks a month to spend on suits and ties... this was grouped under some sort of health maintenance costs, whatever those are. I got reprimanded for not spending the money; we need to keep spending that money or else the subsidies might be shorted. But I already had some nice suits and ties, "wtf, that is insane, how do you even spend so much money on suits every month?!"... "Oh I see, yeah, you're new, I'll help you out" as he gave me the number to what is essentially a money launderer.

You know what's worse than jail? Make them pay back the money they stole

Now this is Podracing. They're grinding XP for the big kahuna DOD-MIC grift boss battle. Buckle up boys

I’m a DC area tax accountant. I had a new client this year who started a nonprofit and pays herself $300k a year. She threw a fit about a $1k bill that I already steeply discounted for her. Total Karen leech.

I worked for NYSDOCCS, we had a $3.589 billion dollar budget. The amount of waste, scamming and "fringe benefits" the bloated top heavy dept would give to "special people and bosses" were insane. We had a assistant commissioner of xerox. That mf'er was making probably 150k a year full benes and retirement to oversee copies. My facility bought a FEMA drop trailer generator, they used it for one hour and it's sat by the powerhouse for 10 years. The thing can power a small town. Fking insane

Used to work at NASA. They would fund office furniture and a bunch of decorations from the on-site store whenever we needed to deplete the quarterly budget because it was a use it or lose it system. No, there’s no such thing as giving it back to the taxpayer. If you don’t use it, next quarter they get upset and cut your budget. So it’s in your best interest to waste it.


Elon Musk has occasionally referenced a group of young, talented developers and hackers who work on Dogecoin (DOGE) and related projects, often humorously calling them the "Big Balls" crew. While he hasn’t officially named all of them, here are some key figures associated with Dogecoin’s development and Musk’s inner circle:

1. Billy Markus (Creator of Dogecoin)
Co-created Dogecoin in 2013 as a joke but remains a respected figure in the community.

2. Marshall Hayner (CEO of Metallicus, Metal Pay)
Worked with Elon on Dogecoin payments integration.

3. Max Keller (Dogecoin Core Developer)
A prominent developer maintaining and improving Dogecoin’s blockchain.

4. Michi Lumin (Dogecoin Core Developer)
Another key developer working on Dogecoin’s protocol upgrades.

5. Elon’s "Shadow Crew" (Unofficial Hackers)
Elon has hinted at working with a group of young, aggressive coders who help with crypto and meme-related projects. Likely includes engineers from SpaceX, Tesla, or X (Twitter) who moonlight on crypto.
