shockingly harder than you'd think, my best streak so far is 8.

My first attempt ended at 15 because this quiz seems to think Gigabyte Technology formed as a company in 769.

Having my adult mind put into a 6 year old body and starting elementary school sounds like a Black Mirror level of cosmic torture I could not imagine. Just passing the time at a desk listening to a teacher talk about long division, interacting with all the other kids with an adult brain for a full day for five school days a week.

It's this OP. Gimme that 10 mil now and let me keep rolling with the life I enjoy. There's maybe one (in)decision in my life where I'd be interested in seeing the counterfactual version of it, but I'm good right where I am. Maybe ask me again in six months when my future baby is making GBS threads all over me while I try to change his diaper on two hours of sleep :v:

Yeah I'd take the 10 mill. I know for sure I'd be wiser and better with it now and would probably OD or something if I was mega rich in my early 20s. I was a little nuts back then.

I mean, for me 10m easily, but I also feel anyone who has kids and/or a wife is going to take that disproportionately than those who don't.

I'd go to age 6, easily make 10mil with the knowledge I had, and become my now and again wife's guardian angel by bumping her lovely sociopathic father and narcissistic junkie sister off in seeming accidents at different points in her life. (After the sister had her two girls, who are just the most amazing people on earth). Then I'd bump off the girls' molesty little trailer trash gently caress of a father, buy a bank and offer my mother-in-law a do-nothing job for lots of money so she didn't strangle my wife's college education for need of help, and start the love story over again.

Oh, yeah and this time I'd make sure she never got on a toboggan and save her a broken arm.

Paul Begala is a longtime hardcore Clintonite, this take doesn't surprise me a bit. It just reinforces that Democrats won't ever change until that generation dies off.

I actually get the logic. He’s basically working backwards from the realization that what makes most giant games popular is the community. So if the community is the true value of something like WoW or CoD then maybe the community should get a cut.

It’s insane of course but I can see the twisted logic.

It’s hats you can buy and use in any game somehow, also only you can use this hat in all those games.

If you don’t understand how this would actually work you just aren’t smart enough to see the possibilities.

Also you are granted exclusive movie rights for said hat. They can't use that hat in a movie without paying you for it!
