That’s okay, don’t feel too bad about it… but if you do I hear there’s a potion for that.

That explains a lot. It turns out people often switch to upper case speaking numbers to me.

Wait, you think the Saudis buying EA have anything to do with profit? EAs profits and earnings are meaningless to them.

I like to act like they just reminded me that she asked me to talk to them about it and then start talking about some really bizarre fetish stuff that she can’t deal with anymore.

One of my favorite ones actually got gagging noises from another person in the room. ‘Look, she asked me to talk to you about the diaper thing. Hold on. Don’t get upset… she’s fine with you wearing them, and even fine with you “soiling” them, but she can’t deal with you bringing them in “pre-soiled” anymore. It’s not like it happens every time you put on a different one, but even if only 1 out 10 has an issue with cough “leakage”, that’s still at least 2 times per night that she has to stop and clean it up or else the smell just like never leaves the room… and anyway, she says that really kills the mood.’

Camelcamelcamel and keepa are both awesome, but Amazon has caught on to them and will now pull listings to leave only the higher priced listing available. Since those listings have some history and have not changed in price, it will show up as not fluctuating.

“Hunting without intent to terminate” is an amazingly good description.

I’m just the opposite, since the first time I realized that companies mark up prices on things at the end of the year just so they can “discount” them for black Friday deals has made me want to punch a lot of people.
The fact that it has gotten so bad that just about everything costs more from Nov-Jan makes me want to stab some people.

I am sober and I was actually just thinking I should try again once I have had a few.

I’m just looking for one not run by fascists. So far .world is the only one where I haven’t been perma-banned for disagreeing with Nazis and their propaganda.

Oh, I don’t doubt you are correct about that. I’m not trying to say that there isn’t any coordination. The GOP is definitely and completely overrun with extremists that openly work together to implement plans like project 2025. But we are also at the terminal stages of this disease and the patient is on life support.
Project 2025 is a perfect example of what I am talking about. It was supposed to be a secret agenda that flopped right out into the open almost as soon as they are done writing it. In a healthy society it would have been attacked and overwhelmed from multiple directions in the same uncoordinated way that a virus or bacteria would be dealt with. But instead, the infection has reached a point where 1/3 of the nation decided that it wasn’t their problem, and another 1/3 was actively helping the infection. We are at that point in the covid infection where the body is now harming itself.

I don’t think you need some big coordinated Illuminati-type group to explain what’s going on. It’s way more realistic to see bad actors as behaving like bacteria or viruses. They don’t sit in secret meetings plotting everything. They just act independently in ways that benefit themselves, and the harmful effects add up on their own.  Bacteria don’t plan. They find weaknesses, take advantage of them, multiply, and adapt when something stops them. They’re not masterminds. They’re just opportunistic. One person finds a loophole, another copies it, someone else builds on it, and suddenly you have a whole system bending in a bad direction without anyone actually coordinating it.

And this is where billionaires fit in. Realistically the traits that get you to billionaire status are usually closer to aggressive mutations in an ecosystem. Not kindness or wisdom, more like: ruthlessness, willingness to exploit gaps, willingness to push harm outward while collecting gains.

Once someone becomes a billionaire, their resources act like a multiplier. A normal bad actor is one germ. A billionaire is the same germ with unlimited food, a weakened immune system around them, and the ability to reshape the environment to favor their own growth.

And then you get a feedback loop. The more safeguards and regulations get weakened, the easier it is for aggressive “strains” like this to emerge. Those new billionaires then use their wealth to weaken safeguards even more. Each round speeds up the next. It’s basically the same dynamic as a compromised immune system getting overwhelmed by infections that would normally be manageable.

But most of all, there’s no way you’re going to get that many extreme narcissists to work together nicely and follow some long term plan.

Sounds like you’ve exceeded the input or output token buffer. Shit gets real weird when it starts forgetting what it’s thinking about while it’s trying to think about it.

The really fucked up part is that a 6 year old shot his teacher and I never even fucking heard about it. School shootings have become so commonplace here that the only thing that made this “newsworthy” was the $10 million.

So, it’s an average job, but I get a late morning start and the entire work day is only 8 hours…
Stop being a dick and tell me where to send my resume already.

Wait, are you saying that Amazon is actually Satan?

The first place to start learning coding is with logic games. Pipe Dream was the OG of this type of game but there are plenty of clones on every platform. It introduces concepts like order of operation and problem solving. And there’s plenty of variations besides pipes there’s also rivers and streams, electricity and circuits, magic circuits, ect.
The next step would be logic gate type games that teach OR, AND, XOR, ect.

Wait, are you saying that we will stop suffering if you are in charge?
I am in, you got my vote.

!!! DeathByBigSag for Leader of the World 2025!!!

It looks like an anus, because that’s what it is, its their assholes. They love shoving things in their assholes including both alcohol and young men.

“Sorry, my butt called you.”
