Kerbtree posted:imagine a pipe that's exactly 10 golf balls long. If you put a new ball in, one of the existing ones pops out. You still have 10 balls in the pipe, but one of them is the new one, not the one you started with. You spent/transferred that one. It's also important to note in British banking this isn't a metaphor, and all banks have massive warehouses in the countryside filled with pipes and golf balls to keep track of how much money is in all British banks. It's why finance types like golf so much, it's literally just hitting money around all afternoon.

Harmon and Roiland are both mired in abuse allegations so the chances of one or both going right wing in the next couple of years are high. That’s the new move: get caught doing something morally repugnant, claim that woke libs are trying to cancel you for speaking truth, and enjoy not only a career renaissance but an influx of money from the most vicious, resentful people on the planet.

It's like nostalgia for businesses from the 80s and 90s is supposed to just ignore economics and voltron together because wouldn't it be cool if it did that. And then you sink $120K into stock for a dead towel store and are legitimately surprised it ruined you.

Look, I'm going to laugh at them, but you also have to respect the grift. If I could get 1/4 of $15k (assuming the bear gets an equal share) for a couple hours doing any of that for an audience of credulous morons? gently caress, I'd probably sit between Teddy, Mr. Vape, and Vanilla Ice there all day.

My thoughts I think numbers 1, 2, and 3 that I identified above were all a major part of the timing and invitation of the live PP Show. After watching, I also believe that we were expecting a doc drop tonight. My thought is that something unexpected happened at the last minute, and the RC team could not / did not drop the doc in time. IMO his frequent bathroom breaks (which could legitimately be a normal bladder thing) were to check his phone for any status update. I also got an uneasy feeling on two points. His body language was just a little too off. A delayed doc when things are locked in tighter than a military bunker: I don't believe this would have caused the more tense/closed body language I was seeing. Certainly a disappointment not to have the doc drop during the show, but his body language and physically closed nature was definitely noted. Did a hedgie curveball emerge last minute that RC and team are battling with? Pulte placed an odd amount of emphasis on "remember, this play could go either way." His other comments on the stock and potential outcomes were more laid back and just preceded with "NFA I'm a degen yada yada." His emphasis on the unknown of the outcome seemed ... different than what we normally here. Both of these above, combined with the bathroom breaks, checking the phone, closed/tense body language (again, relative to what we have seen of him before live), make me think there was supposed to be a doc drop but a hedgie curveball held it up last minute.

Lurking BBBY and thePPShow, it seems like they are really into reaction GIFs. Which I guess tracks with their overall obsession with reviving social phenomena that died out years ago.
