He’s insanely rich because he started out ridiculously rich because of apartheid South Africa, I think you can guess

So how is “being woke” a lie?

If you’re comparing Anakin to the shooter, then the Clone Troopers would be the cops, and in both cases they helped the domestic terrorist do their job.

Do the Jedi wait outside for over an hour while Anakin rampages in the nursery? If not, maybe Kathleen Kennedy would like to hear my pitch for True Detective: Coruscant Nights?

Yyyup. It’s a toggle.

Uh.... Are you showing where Claire messed up the math, or are you falling into the same trap she did? You’re doing the formula to convert C to F (in total) but you don’t add 32 for a differential. 10C is 50F but going from 0C to 10C is going from 32 to 50. IE, 18 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hey, remember how in the movie there was the one spoiled rich kid who got the Golden Ticket by spending a ton of money on it, giving her an unfair advantage over the other kids? And then at the end she falls into an incinerator. Haha, movies.

For the reason Game Pass is good, see *asterisked items below, games I had zero interest in but played anyway:

Anyone who isn’t finding value in the gamepass is bonkers-crazy-pants or has already spent their money on every game to come out each month. As someone on a tight budget, there is at least one game announced each month that pays for the whole subscription. I can understand un-subbing because you just don’t have the…

Come on now, games that are designed to psychologically manipulate you into gambling unreasonable amounts of money on them are fine as long as they’ve got cool anime characters.

And I’m excited for the new gameplay possibilities that they could open up on my account.

I wonder if crypto bros were buying these kind of things at inflated prices since they had “money” to burn and now we’ll see a huge drop off in values.

Good post. Definitely worth a watch.

TLDW: The same shitheels that inflated the card, comics, and other collectible markets are directly involved in this newest grift. Same folks making money off artificial scarcity and rarity FOMO.

I actually learned from a comedic insurance ad (Farmers?) to not put water on a grease fire, but rather, cover it.
