WTF is the hashtag dude

hashtag:

Hey guys- my name is [xxxxx] but I’ve chosen the handle, #hashtag. As a long-time lurker – maybe even another AFer from the past – I’ve read a number of long-winded posts that seem to ramble on and on. But think OP’s perspective could’ve been delivered in a much more abbreviated manner. With that in mind, I wanted to trim the fat from my own posts and get straight to the point with crisp and concise comments. Some are (kinda) witty, others have no substance, a few have connotations or undertones, and there are a handful of tasteless ones, too. I’m not trying to win a prize or a popularity contest – just dishing out what’s on my mind after reading some of these threads. That’s it.

#hashtag

p.s. 38 y/o male, 6’4", married with children, CFA Charterholder, well-educated, agnostic, 50% American + 50% Aussie, and as Alphie would say, “a blue-eyed devil”.

TLDR

That would be stupid.

I always wait until after I’ve overthrown the government before visiting (former) communist countries.

^Did you use warheads in your overthrow ?

higgmond · June 16, 2015, 9:04pm

I frequently visit a socialist country (no, not the US all you tea party folks), but have no intentions of overthrowing the government there.

^Socialsm is not fun,waiting in the line for 2 hours in the freezing cold to get your monthly vodka ration in a bucket sounds more fun.I read somewhere there were many people who drank their weekly/monthly allowance on the spot they recieved it in some of those soviet blocks

Europe is still the place to go for some red heat.

Yeay, seems to be true. I don’t tweet, or hashtag, it’s the path of darkness.

But we have now determined that Hashdork can in fact write an intelligent complete sentence, so there’s that.

Plenty of people go to China. I was there in 1982 for a few weeks, when it was really communist.

I was briefly behind the iron curtain when it was still the iron curtain. Nothing all that exciting. It was Bulgaria. I was also in Yugoslavia when it was still Yugoslavia. I was pretty young then, so the memories are mostly faded.

More recently was in China and Vietnam.

it’s worth less than half of whatsapp ($19b) so somewhere between $10b and myspace ($580m)

^ Not sure how relevant that is without ARPUs.
