Wash dying raised the stakes for the final show down. Everyone was suddenly mortal and was no longer protected by “main character armor”.

Games are entertainment, not chores. You don’t have to finish them, nothing wrong with enjoying a game for a time and then being done before the “end”.

I’ll happily do it for $1 million a year and do a hell of a lot better than musk. Considering the difference between $1 trillion and $1 million is pretty much $1 trillion I’m basically working for free.

I remember playing “you don’t know jack” and someone accidently hit the buzzer before the question was even on the screen. The host said “okay smart guy, think you know the answer before the question is read? Go ahead.” And the game gave them a blank screen to type their answer into.

I love that, I’m going to have to look that up

What do you expect other countries to do? A preemptive strike?

And there are far more dollars in 11 billion than 100 million.

59 seconds is 1000000000000 pico seconds away from a minute, so I’m not sure you could say 59 seconds is “so close” to a minute.

“you are constantly complaining to me about your boyfriend and he doesn’t seem to listen to you. Why are you still with him?”

People don’t want solutions, they want to bitch endlessly and have a horde of strangers agree with them. Then they can also bitch about nothing improving!

People in my life get the benefit of “are you looking for solutions or are you looking for empathy?” Randos on the Internet don’t get to use everyone else as free therapists.

I installed Mint on my MIL computer. I did not have to spend time teaching her anything. People are able to switch from Windows to Apple no problem but for some reason Linux is

learn a new OS, that’s a steep cost

“have you considered using Linux” can be said as someone genuinely trying to help. An OS isn’t a fucking agenda.

I just fundamentally disagree with the hivemind

Isn’t it funny how when a lot of people disagree with you it has become a hivemind, as opposed to a common consensus among individuals that you are wrong? What a fantastic term to avoid actually reconsidering your opinion or actually listening to someone else’s point of view.

“Could there be multiple people who disagree with me?
No, it’s the hivemind who is wrong.”

the only other option is free stuff from the government.

I like the idea of UBI

Pick a fucking lane.

The fewer people making those offers the more those prices will come down.

Increase taxes on secondary properties and people will be more motivated to lower the price in order to sell.

The existence of Landlords raises the cost of housing, and then they justify their existence by saying housing is too expensive for people to afford. It’s tautological.

Meanwhile the people paying rent clearly can afford it, because the can afford all the expenses of the house + the extra fees involved for someone being a landlord + the landlord’s profit.

Those three families presumably would have bought a house if they could.

If only they didn’t have to outbid Landlords for the property, or didn’t have to be the person to say “First!” They could have.

Lnadlords increase competition for the property making it more expensive.

Someone putting an offer on a property might be just fine getting a mortgage for that amount, but not for the amount needed if 5 different landlords are trying to outbid them so they can rent the property to them.

Who said anything about full communist? This is about landlords.

I am personally quite in favour of UBI which covers this. But at some point people are disincentivized to work / be productive. And that’s a problem…

Pick a fucking lane.

By definition, no.
