Siljmonster posted:Elon Musk spends millions on good publicity Every time he's mentioned or cameos in a movie or TV show I guarantee he paid out the nose for the privilege. The best part is I don't think most people even remember, like he was in Iron Man 2 but literally nobody I've mentioned that to believed me, even though they'd seen the movie. That scene just kinda disappeared from their memory of it.

Shame Boy posted:Fun Fact: the usual quoted price drug companies give of bringing a new drug to market includes the lost opportunity costs of spending the money on research - as in, a big chunk (probably even most) of the, say, $20 billion a drug development cycle "costs" is actually just the amount of money they "could have" made if instead of researching new drugs they invested it all in the stock market. wtf

Coolness Averted posted:That's the point. The whole 'Hard Decisions' concept is this recent liberal fantasy that let's them adopt the most reactionary tactics. Deathcultists and chuds were always okay with Jack Bauer torturing bad guys, they were the bad guys and deserved it -and the one time he was wrong it left no long term damage so that's okay too. 20 years ago it was controversial that a single time the star trek captain chose to do the bad thing, and it was deliberately written to make you feel uneasy about it. I think it's an outgrowth of how weak the Democrats are. Liberalism doesn't provide much in the way of leadership. Conservatism provides an over-abundance of leadership. By this method, the Democrats can non-stop fail into doing what the money wants (so that they all get rich). How often do Republicans accept Democratic framing and talking points? How often do Democrats accept Republican framing and talking points? The only time I see Democrats fight as hard as Republicans fight over tax cuts is when Democrats are fighting against their own base. That kind of thing.

Yeah I'm sure anonymous rando in Miramar will actually use that money for the wall and not just pocket it. Then again I assume most of the people who donated don't actually understand how this sort of thing works and just figured it must be an official government thing because it's on the internet after all, you can't lie about that sort of thing!

bob dobbs is dead posted:isnt being blonde broadly recessive A lot of kids are blonde like that as children and then it darkens as they get older, even people with dark brown or black hair as adults. Of all the objectionable poo poo they no doubt do, I don't think peroxide hair treatments on children is one of them.
