I hear FaceTime used more generically than Zoom (for mobile video chat)

Yeah, fuck EA. Even the Sims 3 which came out in 2009 is still $20 for just the base game. All 19 DLCs are also $20. But wait, you can get the game and all the DLC packaged in a bundle for the low low price of just $190 (on Steam).

Absolutely ridiculous even without considering that you need an EA account to play legitimately which is a whole other pile of crap.

Around $440MM if you throw in the $83MM he owes in that recent defamation suit

The OP is intended to describe FF7 but tbh it also applies to 13, 12, 10 (although you're taking down megareligion instead of megacorporation), and possibly also 8 and 9 which I haven't played but have confirmed with light research that there are furries

He just twirls a few long strands on the top of his head like spaghetti every morning then hair sprays the crap out of it

There are indeed many forms of money laundering which are considered illegal in America, and it is absolutely illegal if someone is accepting funds derived from illicit activity or sanctioned entities (like Russia). The government and most financial institutions generally take the stance that there are very few good reasons to obscure the ultimate source of funds, and so tend to be very risk-averse with such activity.

The trick is in confirming anything illicit is going on when there are potentially dozens of steps and borders in between the source and the recipient.

The first thing you said here is pretty spot on for me. Losing weight is largely a psychological battle, so giving people a simple task list doesn't always work.

What we need to understand is that "losing weight" goes against our biological programming. We have evolved over millenia to crave carbohydrates (sugars) and fats because they are ready sources of energy, and to only undertake strenuous physical activity if absolutely necessary. In developed nations today neither of these leads to very healthy living, so we need to actively fight against our reptile brains to stay healthy.

As you said, consistency is key. You don't get healthy by working out 9 hours one day only and eating salad for a week, you get healthy by making small, manageable healthy choices every day.

Try doing a little more exercise this week than you did last week. You can increase time, intensity, or frequency of whatever your chosen activity is. Try deprogramming your need for ultra-sweet foods by limiting your sugar intake and always try to consume fiber with your sugars (raw fruits are great for this.)

Little by little you will see beneficial changes

Stopped drinking my calories (alcohol, juice, soda, etc.) and fell in love with running.

You would think by now AML investigators from every corner of the globe would be watching this guy's accounts like a hawk with a microscope.

I know that sometimes tracing cashflow is a delicate art, but it can definitely be done, especially if you are working with government-level resources

Yep. Unfortunate though this is, it's an important lesson for OP and their kiddo.

Save early and save often.
