it almost hasn't a whole bunch of times

then al got sober

then he relapsed and it almost didn't exist a few more times

then he got sober again

I've lost track of the number of times he's died

now he's recently divorced and about to tour so let's see how that sobriety holds out or if he starts hitting the junk, crack, acid, and bushmills right before a set again

“It’s really crazy how close to real life we can get with art,” marvels Gizmodo.
“The results are incredible, so much so that you’ll probably spend most of the time loudly shouting at the screen as your brain refuses to cave in and accept the truth,” gasps Huffington Post Tech.
“The photo-realistic images show how skilled computer artists have become – thanks to advancements in image manipulation software,” exclaims The Mirror.

the gullibility filling the tech sector is incredible and its nice to know that some people are exploiting that for laffs rather than to rip people off

luckily, now that tech journalism has been so thoroughly suckered and humiliated i'm sure they will learn from their mistakes and use some skeptisicm and dye diligence in the futhuargblaheuhuehue yeah right

time to disrupt student debt
with a lottery

quote:

WHAT IF YOU could reduce student debt by playing an online trivia game?

The idea sounds absurd. But one California-based company, Givling, is trying to make it a reality. It’s a creative—and slightly bizarre—attempt to tackle the country’s student debt, a problem that has now surpassed $1.2 trillion.

The setup is simple. People pay $0.50 to play a round of Givling’s web-based true-or-false trivia game, which spans topics ranging from current events to pop culture. Three wrong answers means you’re out, but if you’re good enough to keep going, you can potentially win some cash. Players are grouped randomly into teams of three, and at noon every day, there’s a cash payout for the highest-scoring team.

But not all the funds go to the winners. If you’re carrying student loans, you can also sign up with Giving—answering an open call on Facebook for a spot in a funding queue. Once the funds raised hit the $10 million mark, those at the top of queue receive $5 million to help pay off their loans. The remaining $4 million goes towards making the highest-scoring players millionaires, with the remaining $1m going on to fund further daily awards.

Shaikh continued, “The problem is, most people don’t understand what PASSION means… all of those people who try to convince others – and yourselves – that ‘passion alone can’t get you anything’ have no idea the DEPTH of this word.”

Shaikh also turned to Twitter, calling the students and faculty, “UNinspired,” and linking to his blog post.
