It's billions of dollars of tax "avoidance", cheating, and simply not paying. Unfortunately, the wealthy who are calling the shots don't really want to pay millions for IRS lawyers

Most people don't give a shit about anything abstract or remote. There's tons of users still on Twitter, Instagram, etc.

I'm pretty sure I read that auditing the wealthy is a huge profit center for the IRS, because they find people who aren't paying what's owed. Naturally conservatives (of any party) hate this and gut it whenever possible

I realized the other day that I don't have a solid count. A friend of mine revealed they have a document with a line item for everyone they've slept with and a brief summary.

I'd guess it could reasonably round to 100, though.

Oh good. I thought Sony had their head up their ass and were going to do a PlayStation exclusive.

Meh trailer, but I'll probably pick up the game eventually. I didn't love the story changes in the second game, so I'm prepared to hate this ending. But maybe it'll be good!

I have wondered about that. What kind of range can you get DIY? I guess if you did fire something they could try to do physics to figure out where it came from, but you'd hopefully be long gone by then.

I remember working at a place that was just counting up for order IDs, numbers and letters. I was like "eventually it's going to start spelling bad words" but management didn't care.

Several thousand hours in gw2. Really liked it.

I hope they keep the stuff I liked. Solo friendly but other people are around to casually join up or whatever. No level grinding. No gear grind.

A prequel seems like it would be unnecessarily putting themselves in a narrative box.

It would be far more interesting to me to either do a time jump forward, or go someplace else. They have the mists in the setting already to explore.

Ooh a Unitarian. Don't even have to be Catholic. I used to hang with unitarians. Some good folks there.

Pretty good. Didn't have to worry about my parents barging in, or bickering, or any of that.

It's all projection. They can't square their self image with the reality so they project it onto other people to sooth the cognitive dissonance. They're garbage people. Like in a deep, fundamental, way. They are bad at existing in a complicated world.

 

This is the bad place.

It's fucking toilet paper. I don't need a summary.

Not only are they wasting time, energy, and screen space with this slop, it seems to have come with a bug preventing me from adding anything to my cart. I just get 403s when trying.

I can only assume management demanded engineering maximize their AI usage at the expense of boring things like testing and stability.

I hate this.
