I mean, I kind of like the fact that he’s flexing paying his taxes to other billionaires, signaling that he’s better than them for doing so. It would be kind of nice if every billionaire started flexing on one another like this and started trying to one up one another to showcase “whose the better person” sort of thing. Pipe dream, I know, but a girl CAN dream after all.
Anti Vaxers out here tryna play Modern Day Oregon Trail. Poor little Susie is gonna have a real bad time when she catches meastussisumption.
Ugh, I cannot say enough good things about that game! Top notch story!
I went into it completely blind, but even if you’ve seen some game play, there are so many choices and endings that you’ll end up surprised no matter what! Everyone that I’ve gushed about it to gushed back if they’ve played it already!
Suuuuper late to the game, but a few weeks ago my husband talked me into playing Detroit: Become Human (I shy away from Sci Fi games so I knew nothing about it/was hesitant to play).
Holy shit. That may have been some of the best fucking writing I’ve ever seen in a game.
It also got me really turned on to those butterfly effect/QTE games! I finished Little Hope by the Dark Pictures Anthology in one night (last Friday), and I’m in the middle of Man of Medan right now. The writing isn’t as good, but they’re still Hella fun and quirky!
If anyone else has any reccs for the Butterfly effect/QTE style games, I’m mad obsessed enough and will most definitely play it!
That’s why I said “nearly half” bruh. We have 50 states in the US and a few territories.
And yes, he didn’t pardon enough people. I will agree with you on that all day. But how many cannabis users did Trump or even Obama pardon from their sentences?
He’s making an attempt despite having a gridlock Congress, and I do commend him for that. That’s why I said “nearly half” bruh. We have 50 states in the US and a few territories.

Edit: I will concede federal minimum wage remaining stagnant at $7.25 does suck though. Biden can’t force one state to raise minimum wage over another. You got me there, that was a state-loving-their-constituents thing, not a Biden thing.
Is this the same Biden that just pardoned a bunch of cannabis users from serving their sentences?
And the same Biden who on 1 Jan 24, nearly half the US states will have their federal min wage raised?
Look, there’s plenty to criticize Biden for, mostly ALL of his Middle East actions (not just Gaza-Israel), but let’s not pretend he’s all bad and hasn’t tried to help his own people domestically.
I agree. 100%. Like YES, Israel is being maximum scum by retaliating with excessive force. We get it, they have all the “1st world countries” funding them. They keep murdering people with a crazy multiplier compared to Palestine.
But to pretend that Hamas is not at all culpable or disgusting for their OWN actions is not it.
Ugh, my husband made me play the role of Vincent in “A Way Out” and didn’t tell me anything about it beforehand.
I had such a good time playing that game all the way until the final battle where instead I just bawled my eyes out and refused to play.
Great game, but I would never play it again.
Imagine being an American so privileged and revered you get paid to live in Italy in one of the most historically iconic places on Earth…
… and you throw it all away so you can hate on gay people and vaccines. Wtf.
Dark Urge made it easy for me. I kept wanting to do an “evil game” but would always lose heart and pick the nicer choices.
And then my group made me the Dark Urge character on a different playthrough. And once I realized some of the evil shit was beyond my control, I just kinda said “Fuck it” and went evil as possible.
10/10 recommend. It’s so OTT it’s hilarious.
Cuphead is a dope ass game tho, fr fr.
Tbh I haven’t played in years…
…I’m about to disappear from my “social circles” this weekend.
Oh no!!! I didn’t know it was split between all 3 of them! I thought each were given around $1M. That is still not enough for their contributions to society (especially in lieu of billionaires who do nothing), but it’s especially obscene that they all get closer to $300K instead.
Not to take away from your shower thought OP, but more to soften the blow (because yeah, we for sure are worshipping billionaire fucksticks like Elon Musk as a society), we are still awarding the Nobel Prize to people who make strides in scientific areas that benefit humanity.
The people who discovered mRNA technology and prepped it for clinical use were just given the Nobel prize this week: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/10/02/1202941256/nobel-prize-goes-to-scientists-who-made-mrna-covid-vaccines-possible
Okay. I admit it. I grinned.
But in all seriousness, it is good to know that even in states with lesser consumer protection laws, purchasers will still be protected.
I love learning little random tidbits of knowledge like this!
I was wondering if this violated false advertising laws? I’m definitely nowhere near a Lawyer, so I can’t begin to grasp the nuances of things like that but…
If someone buys the car under the pretense that it will drive 500 miles on one charge, and it consistently only makes it 350 miles, that’s not a variable tolerance issue like +/-10% . It’s a straight up “I sold you a falsehood” issue.
I’d imagine places like Svalbard. Technically it’s inhabitable now, and has been for decades but it’s the most Northern year round sustained population on the globe.
Further North is Arctic tundra and there isn’t a sustained population. Maybe he’s referring to areas like that.
Though I will say that back in 2019 I saw an article about how every winter a bunch of Reindeer in Svalbard die due to climate change. As the spring rolls in and snow melts, Reindeer corpses are left behind in the fields 🥺.
I’m actually about to get ICL surgery to correct mine in July @ 35 years old. Pretty stoked to not have to use glasses anymore. Though from what I’ve been told, it will make those of us who get ICLs more susceptible to early cataracts (like 60 years old or so versus 75, as we all will eventually get cataracts if we live long enough), and I’ll need a second surgery at that point for better lenses. But if I’m going to eventually need that surgery anyway to remove a cataract, then what’s it matter?
