It’s insane they were valued that high to begin with.

If only there were some way they could have known this would happen ahead of time and then done something about it!!

39.9% of the rest are lying. 0.1% are insider trading.

You are right. This story does feel like a fluff piece to highlight the corporation.

Did… did you actually read what you posted?

Nearly everyone in that thread is saying, “of course if you take TWICE the recommended dosage of a chemical it might be bad for you.” Nearly everyone in this thread is saying, “of course taking the recommended dosage of a chemical is not bad for you.”

It’s almost like, and this might be difficult for you to comprehend, the dosage matters.

It’s in the story:

“The potential annual earnings from working eight hours a day can be as high as $5,000 - ​a figure that far surpasses India’s per capita income of around $3,000.”

Nothing about that picture looks normal. The whole thing looks like an AI mockup of an ad.

Also, how often do people wear Doordash shirts while delivering for Doordash?

2020s: There are no good games that really build a world with a good story! Definitely not Elden Ring, BG3, Ghosts of Tsushima, DOS2, Clair Obscura, etc…

Fucking go get em. Yeet those motherfuckers.

Wow, congrats on completely missing the point. The point isn’t how many people are in the arbitrary town boundaries. It’s that the town is basically a close suburb of a major city.

Beverly Hills only has a population of 32k, but let’s call that a small town and completely ignore that it’s fully surrounded by 12 million people.

The locals love them and have turned them into a tourist industry. I still think they need to be eradicated.

This just tells you how little people know about taxes. Most people’s taxes have gone down due to Trump. Mine have gone down significantly. Trump voters don’t care. Many people voted for him purely to pay less on taxes. I know many people who don’t care about abortion or trans people or gay marriage or immigration or health care or anything else being batted around by politicians. They voted for Trump because they would have a slightly lower tax bill. That is the only thing they cared about. They didn’t care that brown people would be hurt, only that they made more money. These same people now have rising costs directly due to Trump that offset those tax gains, so they again think taxes are too high. They are not thinking, “we shouldn’t spend a billion per day Iran.”

Am I happy to be paying less? Kind of. I’d rather pay more and have that be used to give health care to people who can’t afford it, but this government would only use it to fund another half trillion in defense spending. So I’ll take my lower taxes to pay shit off so I can move to Europe sooner.

Which is wild, since a couple months ago most of the world would have said that Iranian leadership were murderous psychopaths for killing thousands of civilian protesters. Yet, here we are with those same leaders being the adults in the room.

And one of those bad things is your opinion in this matter.

Look, I agree with every one of your other points, but to say that “the US has been openly genociding trans people” is ludicrously stupid. Yes, some of the states are making anti-bathroom laws, and some of the states are making laws about not allowing medical/therapeutic support to minors for transitioning, and the federal government is making anti-trans executive orders about colleges… but genocide? Seriously?

Don’t water down the use of the word genocide. It’s a very serious thing that is currently happening and supported by the US, but that is not what is happening with trans people. Yet. It might happen with the way things are going, but not yet.

Most people on here gave Jewish pundits shit for calling 700 Jewish deaths in the October attack another “holocaust” and “genocide.” We give those same people shit for not calling 70,000 Palestinian deaths a genocide. Don’t be like those people.

Let’s see… this shows the ratio of money spent on gas to your income levels. That means a higher ratio is more painful when gas prices spike and less painful with a lower ratio.

9 of the top 10 states for highest/worst ratio are Republican Trumpland. 9 out of the top 10 states for lowest/best ratio are Democrat majority states (with Pennsylvania being swing).

Republicans are really playing some 4D chess by allowing Trump to start a war nobody wants that causes huge gas price spikes when it hurts their base the most… months before an election where their jobs are on the line.

Yes, but that is combined with driving longer distances for commutes and other crap.

I mean, I actually am the target demographic for all games but the final… and I’m certainly not buying tickets to any game. I was so excited to go to as many games as I could make in my home city, maybe even in other cities. Now I’m not considering going to any games at all.

There is no difference. That death sentence for rap lyrics is absolute bullshit. Killing a man because he sang a song about hurting or killing is wrong. They are both wrong. Yeah, she’s a stupid bitch who deserves to go to jail, but changing a sentence because a person who is no longer in a position of power says stupid things is wrong.

I mean, I kinda agree with this decision. It is punishing her for what she might say in the future before she says it… so even regardless of freedom of speech, it is getting into pre-crime stuff.

At the same time, I feel like trying to subvert democracy should carry a lengthy sentence.
