Wow, I haven’t fired this game up in probably 25+ years. Had no idea it was still being played at all.

Peanuts are neither peas, nor nuts. Discuss.

…or like literally not ready, as in “you’ll need a 6090 Ti”?

But it protects the company’s freedom of religion.

Private employers in this country (including Ramsey) have more rights than workers.

I had one where I dreamed I was in my bedroom, and there was some bright shiny…thing?..on my floor. Like a glowing dot, too bright to make out any details. So I went over and picked it up; it was maybe the size of a marble. I could start to see through the light and make out a few details, but kept putting it closer and closer to my face to try and get a better view. Soon, it was clear that it was my bedroom, and when I had the thing almost right at my eyeballs, I realized my eyes were open and I was awake.

So I guess I was slowly opening my eyes, but dreaming “around” the tunnel vision? Super strange experience.

I’m pretty sure she likes me already. Enough to stick around for the last 25+ years, anyway.

I once worked for a CFO who used the word “phenomenal” so much that a drinking game around that word would be classified as a mass casualty event.

There are reports from every state, including Hawaii.

Some obvious jokes, but somehow there are true believers across the continent.

I don’t think I could even pick the CEO of my own employer out of a lineup.

There are something like 24 million millionaires in the US, and over 50 million worldwide.

“Famous” is relative, but its safe to say most people have never heard more than a tiny fraction of those names.

They really are good at painting out wire work in movies these days.

I said this when he bought Bond and the Washington Post.

Bezos is basically Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies: billionaire media mogul who manipulates the news to his own ends.

Slight tangent, but Elon Musk is even more like Hugo Drax of Moonraker: foreign-born billionaire who owns a rocket company and is obsessed with repopulating the earth with his own offspring.

The real version isn’t a ton better, but his head is less slumped over, and may have just been caught mid-blink.

There’s enough other evidence that he falls asleep during meetings that there’s no need to exaggerate this one.

Edit: This is why this comm has rules. Links to trustworthy news sources, not just random unverified dunks.

Just so I’m getting this straight,
Being in control of your feed = “echo chambering yourself”.
Looking at everything = “very angry people flooding the platform with their negativity and extremist views”.

You do you.

You’ve been Baader-Meinhof’d.

It’s easy to set up any number of seemingly impossible situations if you start with the premise of a super entity that can accurately predict the future.

What you’re given is [Ridiculous Assumption] + [Normal Situation] = [Paradox]

But the trick is to quickly gloss over the [Ridiculous Assumption] and frame it as [Normal Situation] = [Paradox]

Didn’t JD also endorse some AfD chuds in Germany last year, only to see their numbers drop even further?

Hopefully the story or progression is engaging enough to keep my interest.

The devs have promised that the story and progression will be getting a change from previous entries. The past few have gotten some flack for just throwing all the currency and all the cars at you without much challenge to it. Recent editions are bordering on being a car-collector-simulator as much as a racing game.

Personally, I’ve loved them all for just messing around and driving hundreds of different cars, but a bit of change in formula would be welcome, if they can pull it off.

Other comments give a good tl;dw already, but in case anyone wants a video with pictures and examples, Geography By Geoff has done this topic a few times. Here’s one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqyM54CNSsY

In about two days, there will be reports of massive volume of shorts on oil company stocks that occurred in the minutes before the announcement, then another day after that, nobody will talk about it again.
