The richest people in the world aren’t on the richest people in the world list because they own entire countries. Putin is probably the richest single person in the world. Kim Jong Un is up there too.

If you can have literally anything you want within your own borders that’s a lot more than having shares in some company that could lose value overnight.

I think Whitmer is the better choice. It locks up Wisconsin and brings in the woman vote. It’s also an aspirational vote, like Obama was in 2008.

That didn’t help Clinton, obviously, but Whitmer is no Clinton (in a good way).

There’s about six weeks to the convention. That’s enough time but barely. Harris will want to take the top spot, and maybe she should, but Newsome is the one that could beat Trump, maybe.

What a disaster.

Two words: brokered convention.

I almost wonder if Biden’s staff suggested this super early pre-convention debate so he would be forced to acknowledge he needs to step down. I can’t see any other explanation.

“Gentlemen, good evening. I will in a moment give you each five unrelated words. In 90 minutes I will ask you to recall those five words. I look forward to a spirited debate. Good luck.”

Ehrlich Bachman, this is your mom and you, you are not my baby.

It was seven years ago. Unless he was talking to a ten year old, they’re not a minor anymore.

The director of marketing at my company just got out of a meeting with reddit and is super hyped at funneling all our Facebook and Twitter dollars into reddit instead. I didn’t have the heart to tell him he’s five years too late.

Prices for luxury goods are set by what the market will bear.

He also has a company that does anti drone tech for the Department of Defense.

I would highly highly doubt it. He’s just the “science man” of memes so he’s used as a stand in for all scientists, or at least science communicators.

There’s a word for alternative medicine that works. It’s “medicine”.

I forget the attribution.

Ah yes, the old “I was only pretending to be dumb” excuse.

The fact you’re setting an arbitrary limit of cash in a bank account shows how little you’ve thought about this. Rich people have money in the bank, sure, but the vast amount of their wealth is in stocks, property, and other assets. Also, assuming rich people have one bank account they keep all their money in is foolish. You have to spread your cash around to multiple accounts and even banks in order to not exceed the amount the government is willing to insure.

Yes. You understand how pricing works. The stores charge what the market will bear. That’s why games had been stuck at $60 since the 360/PS3 era.

American ninja warrior has had more and more women making it farther and farther in the competition every year. There are still handicaps in place to make sure at least some women make it to the finals but after that there are no handicaps. At this point, even if they removed all the handicaps there would still be women that reach the finals, just not as many. It’s been very interesting to watch.

The announcers still try to hype up the women’s achievements but at this point most of the big barriers have been broken. They’ve had to resort to stuff like, “if she gets a buzzer here she’ll be only the second mom to get a buzzer in qualifying!”. It’s kind of silly at this point.

I think we’re talking past each other. By ‘popular’ I do not mean ‘well liked’. Just that it was used by a lot of people. 2004, in my opinion, was when steam took off and the downloading updates from random websites phase of pc gaming died. There was a transition, to be sure, but the writing was on the wall. We just didn’t know it at the time.

We can argue all day over when steam “got popular”. For me, I’d consider the launch of HL2 to be the most reasonable point in time to choose.

I wouldn’t read too much into his YouTube handle. He’s a chode but I don’t think he’s a nazi simp. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was auto-generated.

Even needing 60% it’ll pass. Medical Marijuana passed 71-29 in 2016. We’ve had cbd stores and dispensaries on every other corner here in Tampa for the last five years and no one gives a shit. Floridians travel to Nevada, California, Colorado, and other states and see that’s its not a big deal.

I predict at least 70% vote for it. I’ll be floored if it gets less than 65%.
