It's almost as if it runs counter to our interests to reify the economic value of commodities. Anyway thanks for coming to my TED talk, you've been a wonderful audience.

Here's some capitalism.txt I used to have a lovely sanguinch place who had 3 locations in my hometown. This place imports gabagool, cotto, mortadella, they make the best italian sanguinch I ever had. Madonna! So a few years back, their bread supplier gets bought out by a regional chain, suddenly this regional chain tosses out the recipe to their Foccacia. This Foccacia is the best you ever had, it had a thicc layer of garlic sauce with an herb crust layered on top. We're talking a thicc layer of garlic, olive oil, and italian herbs. Whole Rosemary! Madonna! Suddenly I go to my favorite Sanguinch place, and I order the #13, the Cotto, Genoa, Mortadell and Gabagool, with Provalone, and they serve me this thing which has barely a single piece of Rosemary on it, never forget the Garlic, the Olive Oil, and the other Herbs to which I'm accustomed I just about blew through the roof! I killed three men that day, but they never brought back that beatiful Focaccia that day I vowed I would spend my life destroying capitalism, I started to learn how to read so I could study Marx and Hegel, and for the Sanguinch I became a socialist I'm a sanguinch socialist and fuckin proud of it

I clicked through to try to figure out what a "Spearmint VR" is and apparently it's related to something called "Passion GG" and when I go to that twitter I get https://twitter.com/PiGuyGG/status/1131544478974664704 So I'm just going to assume this guy is the actual person behind the anime girl.

I went through to read the terms and conditions because I'm a weirdo who likes reading all the legal knots they're trying to tie, like this one:quote:The computer clock of the Sponsor (defined below) is the official time-keeping device in the Promotion. "Ok look we're going based on our desktop computer's clock so if it's off by a minute or two you can't call bullshit because we're telling you ahead of time "If anyone feels like entering without buying something from burger king, here: quote:MAIL IN METHOD: To participate without purchase, hand-print your full name, full mailing address, email address, phone number, student loan monthly payment and student loan total balance) on a plain 3x5 inch paper. Mail your completed entry to Realtime Media, Attn: Whopper® Loans, 200 Four Falls Corporate Center, Suite 130, Conshohocken, PA 19428. Each entry must be mailed separately in a hand-addressed, stamped envelope. No photocopied or mechanically reproduced entries or mailing envelopes will be accepted. No responsibility is assumed for lost, late, incomplete, illegible, misdirected or postage-due entries. Entries must be received before the end of the Weekly Entry Period to be eligible for the corresponding Weekly Drawing. All eligible non-winning entries from each Weekly Drawing will be rolled into the next Weekly Drawing. Mail-in Entries must be postmarked no later than June 6, 2019 and received by June 12, 2019 to be eligible for the Grand Prize Drawing. Mailed-in Entries included in Weekly Drawings are also eligible for the Grand Prize Drawing. All Entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned or acknowledged. One (1) Sweepstakes Entry will be awarded for each valid mail-in Entry received. So you can just keep entering it over and over again as long as you hand-write each one and mail it separately? Neat e: Wait no I'm wrong, it's one entry per person per email address per week Shame Boy has issued a correction as of 15:53 on May 23, 2019 |

do they actually pay the loans or do you get the money first, because you’d just be better off escaping to a better country with >$100K and starting over

I followed those rules to the marketing company that's organizing the whole thing, Realtime Media, and they offer some other fun ideas for your marketing campaign such as "let the internet generate content or name things for you and then vote on the results" which is always a great idea and never ever ends in a soda named Hitler Did Nothing Wrongquote:What is User-Generated Content (UGC)? I don't know about you guys but I loving LOVE sharing my opinions about brands online!! gently caress my last job was writing software that managed marketing materials and still I'll never get tired of how loving robotic and alien they always sound: quote:What are the Benefits of UGC? Hmm yes these earth-creatures engage well to con-tent that they feel is "au-then-tic"

Jel Shaker posted:do they actually pay the loans or do you get the money first, because you’d just be better off escaping to a better country with >$100K and starting over Going by the rules they pay the money directly to the loan officiator so no dice, and if your loan is less than $100k you don't get the difference (but I think you still get effectively taxed for the whole $100k because that's listed as the approximate retail value?) E: Also this quote:Each winner hereby expressly grants to the Promotion Parties and their respective designees all rights to use and publish his/her name, likeness (photographic or simulated), voice, and province of residence for all purposes, including without limitation, advertising, marketing, promotional and publicity purposes in connection with this Promotion (“Advertising”), in any and all media now or hereafter devised, worldwide in perpetuity, without any form of notice or any amount or kind of compensation or permission, except where prohibited by applicable law. So they get rights to your very essence forever, even simulated versions of you lmao Shame Boy has issued a correction as of 16:10 on May 23, 2019 |

I found yet another layer to this whole thing: it's actually a co-promotion with a company called Earnest, leading to this bizarre page: Also they call their customer support (and presumably their bill collectors) the "Client Happiness team" which is real fuckin' cute  e: Wow this sounds... ominous quote:Lower rates through better data

For $100k in loans $500/month is almost 17 years... standard repayment is 10.

It's actually two different prizes, the basic prize (15 awarded per week) is to pay one monthly payment, up to $500. The grand prize is to pay up to $100k of a loan off directly.

You put all your assets into you spouse's name, and arrange things such that you hold all the student loan debt for you kids and no assets, then just pay the minimum and let the debt vanish upon your death.
