Molon Labe!

(Instructions unclear, am I using that right?)

Close enough, yes.

I believe bystanders got some vid too.

Back in 1988 I had a school project with a few people, one of whom came from a wealthy family. The project was regarding the stock market, and each team was given a certain amount of imaginary money to invest, to see who would win out at the end of the semester. My friend with the wealthy family came back with a recommendation from his father, of course, and we won the contest easily.

The recommendation? Put all our funds into Berkshire Hathaway.

I had the golden goose egg right in front of me and never invested a dime.

I don’t think this post said anything about ‘The Game’ backfiring.

It specifically calls out that streamers spoke about exactly what they didn’t want spoken. That’s what the Streisand Effect is.

Congratulations to Game Science for a good game, but it’s business as usual for the C-Suite being completely disconnected to how the social world works.

Perfection.

I dunno… ‘safe’ doesn’t mean good, and in Hollywood can often be the opposite. That being said, I agree with the rest.

There’s two types of oil, essentially and I don’t remember what they are called. When oil was easy to get we built refineries for that kind. When it got scarce you could only get the other kind.

The US in its infinite wisdom decided it was too expensive to build refineries for the new kind, so what we’ve been doing is sending the oil we pump to other countries who can refine it, then import the kind we can refine.

Why do you think he strongarmed Teslas shareholders into that big pay day? He’s known this was coming, y’all. Tesla’s just paying for his misadventure.

I only use Chrome on my work computers for this reason. That being said, google steals the wrong information and it’s from a company, I know they’ve got deeper pockets than me to make them rue the day.

This is exactly how the bridge on a piece of property I used to live on was built. It lasted 20 years but eventually washed out, while I was there, ofc.

20 years ain’t bad.

Came here to say this. If I had an AI buddy that could do all sorts of stuff for me and talk about history all day with me on long drives while making sure I was perfectly safe and secure and basically be my best artificial friend…

I’d be riding that train.

Deepest condolences. The Hospitaliers were where I sent my donations as soon as the war broke out and I’ve been following them for some time.

It takes special people to do what they do every day and I think all of us will only pray harder for their continued safety.

Slava Ukraini.

My father says the same thing about the slim margin of oil companies. That being said, when that slim margin is in the billions and millions of people suffer for it, there’s room for inquiry.

I don’t think it’s just about random wrong internet person. Anyone saying something other than ‘it’s nothing’ was borderline ridiculed.

Sooo… is Meta going to scrub all that information from their system or did Texas just basically ‘sell’ our info to them for 1.4 billion?

I can’t really describe to you how angry I was when that shit went through. Like… I knew it was ridiculous to get so angry but, I LOVED THAT FREAKING APP.

I still see that old comic sketch in my head lmao

Invincible.

This was way back but had a basic support call for someone who couldn’t get their mouse to work.

After speaking with them for over ten minutes and just being generally confused I cut to the chase and asked, “Ma’am, what are you doing with your mouse right now?”

The answer? She was moving the mouse around on the monitor.
