iirc black rock started allowing investors in their funds to vote by proxy although institutional investors probably have no interest in doing that anyway

I have definitely gone cold to them due to Telsa, but I also don't know what other car manufacturers are out there that are actually making good electric / hybrids. So that is a me problem. Need to figure out what is actually good, I just know Telsa is pure dog poo poo, and I would never touch their cars regardless of quality anyways.

there were a lot of people angry about Prius's and other hybrids before Teslas or Musk were even known as a thing. that was years ago

now it is 2023 and there are plenty of other electric cars not made by Tesla. almost every major car manufacturer has one or two.

personally i have a 2015 Prius and its been great, no complaints other than kind of a lovely view out the rear window.

somewhat serious answer.

they get a game mill to turn out some pos and staple coinz poo poo on.

the two notable stuff I remember.

1) some autochess pokemon ripoff. have a bunch of 3rd worlders grind a team of mons and make money somehow from coinz somehow.
2) the poo poo ape game thats just a auto runner/flying (down a sewer pipe) game.

It really doesnt at all. The con that is being sold is that NFT art assets can be transferred to any other game, the reality is that this is not even remotely possible.

If you enjoy legal writing that boils down to "these fucks can't demand we break the rules that they previously demanded we follow just because they've realised how much loving work they've made for themselves", it's a pretty good letter.

:laffo: This is the same poo poo that happened to one videogames company that demanded one-on-one arbitration, and would likely win the cases all the while, but some enterprising folks made a super easy form submission to request arbitration so that everyone and their cousin could submit an arbitration, and since all requests for arbitration were on the dime of the company, that made each of those 5-minute forms an annoying expense, but en masse, it amounted to an obscene cost(six figures of cost :lol: ) that the company complained about having to pay.

Glad someone completely ignored precedent and went ahead with repeating history

It's one of those things where there's a glimmer of truth - investors should take more of a role in company oversight, and the way that most people's retirements are structured makes that anywhere from an enormous hassle to functionally impossible. We could benefit from more democratic oversight of company boards, for example. Having this function mostly consolidated with companies like Vanguard and Blackrock isn't a good thing for the average person.

But these idiots as usual run past the real questions and start yelling conspiracy! and inevitably, jews!

Not sure if there was another incident or if this was the same one, but Kiwi Farms and some other Nazi poo poo sites had their hosting shuttered recently.

e: I'm certain there was a post about this the other day but I can't find any news sources for it or the original post so take it with a grain of salt (or if anyone has a source, please do share)

I can't remember if it's from this thread or another one, but apparently there is a major problem with amazon throwing all products with the same designation from a wide variety of sellers, into the same bin, so if some sellers are selling fakes, they are all mixed up with the real ones.
So even if you pay for a genuine ps4 controller from Sony on amazon, you might get a junk 3rd party controller from a totally legit seller of "p54 comptrollers"

I have heard this from a number of goons who work for Amazon. Everything of a certain types just gets tossed in a big bin, no matter where it comes from, and 'pullers' (I think that's what they're called) just grab poo poo at random.

So, if you're spending $500 on a bright pink controller, or $50, odds are you're getting something from the same bin.
