Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it's stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.

I don't think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it's value to come back and buy it on the cheap.

This feels like something an incel would seriously suggest.

There's a fascinating idea that Judas was the one who committed the ultimate sacrifice. That god chose him to be his human incarnate, to truly experience humanity and guilt by committing an ultimate betrayal and becoming the villain of biblical history. All allowing him to finally understand and forgive humanity's sin, by committing one himself. It follows that this is supposedly maddening knowledge as it breaks the illusion of Christ's sacrifice.

I'm definitely butchering and ad-libbing the original idea, but I think this makes for a grander story than the traditional "birth myself to sacrifice myself to myself to forgive everyone else" interpretation.

Everyday I would wake up with severely sore arms, like they were clenched somehow.

Blood test said Vitamin D deficiency, but the supplements didn't do anything noticeable. But I was on the border of anemia so they told me to try iron supplements too.

Gone overnight. I'm so used to problems being an exhausting road to recovery that this one took me by surprise.

I would accept Mind Control in any scenario except if they realize they were mind controlled (damn D&D).

If it's short range I'd finally get a decent job and would never have to worry about being attacked in public.

If it can be used over camera, become an influencer, "hey guys if all of you that are within your means could donate 1 dollar to my GoFundMe I'd greatly appreciate it". Instant semi ethical riches.

If I could use it on the mirror, "Wirlocke you're going to feel well rested and do x task".

I choose to believe it's their mutual hatred of England that makes their butter taste good.

Half of these just feel like Twilight Zone episodes with no moral to the story.

"Isn't this guy fucked? Anyway cow tools"

Yeah but then you get older and it doesn't cut it anymore so you switch to the harder stuff.

The only issues I've had with Firefox is when some websites, like Teams, doesn't "support" it. Even though if you change the browser's identifier (there's an extension for that) then it works fine, they just don't "officially support" it.

Honestly it still would have been malware if it was actually McAfee.

Remember when Microsoft made the bold claim that Windows 10 would be the last OS and reassured us it would just be updated perpetually?

Like, no one believed them, but to stop supporting Windows 10 after a bold claim like that is just insulting.

Honestly, I think capitalism wouldn't be so bad if it was limited to what it's good at. Fashion, tech, entertainment, snacks, ect.

But essential food, housing, water, healthcare, even electricity and internet access, the idea that these things that will always have infinite demand is haphazardly controlled through profit motive is disgusting.

Infrastructures should be government controlled and free. Essential resources should have some sort of universal basic "food stamps" system. Then actual money just becomes the luxury "fun bucks" that you don't lose out on if you don't have a lot. For example pet owners would be given a credits for pet food and free vet care, but a silly pet costume would use money.

Disclaimer: This is just a personal idea I've been mulling over, I'm sure there's a million holes in it.
