I was aware that he was a movie producer (and lolled when I watched Thank You For Smoking the other night and saw his name in the credits; boy was that on the nose) but I had no clue that his wife was an actress. Not a very good one at that; it seemed like she was going for a Patrick Bateman inner monologue thing in the trailer but she just sounds like a dipshit instead.

His wife isn't an actress, she wants to be an actress.

This has been knocking around in my brain since you posted it. I really don't have any deep new insight to add, it just really clicked that wealthy people will gladly pay a huge sum to someone else who already owns something they see as valuable, but lose their minds at the idea of "over-paying" someone to do manual labor. It's the same disgusting poo poo that comes up every time the minimum wage is discussed when people who still think it's 1960 lose their minds at the idea of someone getting paid a fair wage to "flip burgers".

Everyone should read The Political Aspects of Full Employment. Low wages and unemployment are not entirely, or even mostly, about maximizing profit per se

Yeah, they're herd animals, so they'll absolutely escape if you only have a couple, but the easiest way to keep them from wandering too far is to have fencing that some can't escape. Like an adult goat can jump a 6-8 ft fence no issue, but if you have babies or pregnant females or weaker ones that can't, they won't wander that far away from them.

Steve Bannon was the "Finance guru" brought in to save the science project BioSphere 2 back in the 90s, and his finance advice was to cut all corners until it could go bankrupt and be bought by a University.

my intro-level speech class at college was taught by this lady who was suuuper into meyers-briggs. Our first two assignments (of six speeches total) were to make a speech "about meyers-briggs." Of course she had us all take a meyers-briggs on the first day of class, and then share our results too.

It was such horseshit. I made mine entirely about how meyers-briggs was utter bullshit. I mean not in those terms of course, I went to the goddamn library and researched the history, attacked the methodology, the history, the people involved, compared to the (also totally bankrupt) stanford-binet intelligence tests, etc. etc.

She was not happy with me but it was a speech class so we were being graded on speechifying rather than the content so I passed anyway. lol. I think about half the class dropped by the fourth or fifth week but it was one of my first classes and I was too :ohdear: to drop classes that first year.

I completely get this, and I had the same issues, but it really appears as if the main 7-8 guys who started the whole thing are still saving. One dudes like 19 and has 1000 to his name and he’s still in at like 2.5 million. It’s insanity.

Nah, if you’ve played any 3rd-person game where you can swing something to hit an enemy you’ve locked on to you’ll pick up the combat. Where BotW really shines is compared to many games that promise an “open world” but only unlock part of the map at a time. BotW starts off on Tutorial Island for about 2 hours, introduces about 80% of the core gameplay mechanics and concepts, then gives you a way to leave it with an idea of where to go next. Instead of following that bread crumb, you could try going to any of the 4 corners of the map instead. You’ll probably get your rear end kicked because of a few different reasons, but you can try.

Yeah ten dudes with a few million bucks in shares are a tiny minority of the retail holders and I would not be surprised if they're all being honest. Their livelihoods are a combo of their actual investments, and their popularity as social media stars in their particular corner of the world, and probably they're not gonna trash the latter just to fund the former.

There's a ton of other people dumping screenies into the thousand-posts-a-second chatrooms and at least some of those are company shills working for investment banks, and a bunch more are dotcom sit at home bored STEMlords happily egging everyone on while they make sure they lock in profits and do not become one of the inevitable bagholders.

e. also it's sometimes possible to tell photoshops of actual photos, but when you're "photoshopping" a screenshot, you're not stuck with like jpeg artifacts or whatever. You can literally open the HTML code for your online broker browser tab and change the numbers and then take a screeny and that would not be detectible at all. Or you can just cut & paste numbers in a screenshot of an app and it'd be completely seamless, there's no visually-undetectable color variations from one pixel of a perfectly uniform app background to the next.
