Season 1 was wonderful. The showrunner had initially written the pilot to get a job on Mad Men. It was eviscerated by critics for being too male, too masculine and seasons 2 onward pivoted into a girlboss series with Lee Pace's character taking a backseat and Scooter's character becoming a stay at home house husband. But if you like Breaking Bad and Sopranos, S1 is very well written.

I laundered money on The Silkroad (sent birthday cards filled with cash for bitcoin). It was a level of criminality I was fairly comfortable with. I do retain some fear that my door would be kicked in some day. Lawyers of HN, Am I in the clear now too? Ross tried to have a guy murdered, after all.

HN's flagged comments are the most interesting.

English very clearly isn't your primary language.

>unintelligible, unformatted post

I'm not reading this

>I was asking about your experience since you indicated it happened to you. If you don't want to share thats fine

I just have written two paragraphs on my personal experience

>seem to think that verifying your membership by asking for your card is "being treated like a criminal."

not at all what I said, but I think you knew that

>I don't really know how many times you would have to shop at Costco to not know to have your card out.

Not addressing my point but again I think you knew that

>This will be the scenario you run into when your membership expires

Again, gift cards are highly regulated in my state. They don't suddenly lose all value contingent on the buyers standing at the store. You're making that up for some reason. Do you work for Costco?

>Great, then apply your personal knowledge to where you live

That's... what I've been doing this whole time, thanks

A cashier will never speak down to me. As god as my witness I will crash this company with no survivors.

For the past year I've noticed their cashiers are oddly hostile. I've just not been digging the vibe of the store lately. I pay $60 for membership. You don't need to treat me like a potential criminal who may be using someone else's card.

Anyway, I have two Discover cards (0% apr for 12 months) that gave me 10% cash back at Costco.com. I purchased $3000 worth of Costco giftcards & will be using them in lieu of membership in the store when mine expires (a little known store loophole). I'd like to think it's in the spirit of Steve Jobs leasing cars for one month at a time to avoid license plates.

You're right, of course. Our nation would never be lenient on white collar crime.

Don't worry. She will absolutely not serve 10 years.

>One day you’ll find yourself watching fireworks. Don’t be a cynic—fireworks can be enjoyed at any age.

Oh, you don't want me to be a cynic? Weird, because this is the most cynical GQ piece of trash I've read in recent memory.
