Wait, so Angela blew up the Cradle, where Ford and the whole simulation were hiding? So that whole virtual world is gone, Ford along with it, and now it’s just the Hosts on the outside? If Ford’s whole plan was to achieve immortality in the Matrix Cradle, that’s all (literally) blown up now, right? So what’s left of…

Rick Wilson to the rescue!

For That Asshole, everything is a zero-sum game, and we’re not winning unless everybody else is losing. The only acceptable trade position for the US relative to every other nation on Earth is an exploitative one.

I take it to mean “they say they’re getting rich off us! But are we getting rich off them?? Huh???” as a precedent to slapping some big fuck-you tariffs on our biggest trading partner on bullshit “national security” reasons.

props to this thread for serving up “thicc” and “lemme smash” memes.

Oh man, you guys. I’ve was running these on the test server pre-launch, and they are fantastic. They’re challenging, amazing to look at, and definitely going to mix the game up in really interesting ways. If you’ve been thinking about dipping your toes back into the game, now’s the time.

The instances can be launched in hi-sec space, and you only get flagged suspect (meaning other pilots can blow you up without risking police response) if you run the top two tiers. Also, the exit/entry point has to be probed down, meaning they’d first have to find the system you’re in, then probe you down. I suspect…

That’s the kind of lying a compulsive liar does when he dgaf and knows there will be no consequences for bald-faced lies.

Anybody know where Hank Siemers is these days?

RCT is speculating that she’s back in NYC, with a leak from “a former Secret Service member” who says they’ve had to set up a detail at some hotel or other. That sort of shit can’t be hidden for very long, so I guess we’ll find out soon!

There is some really weird shit going on where Dan finds an old script in the garage, and Roseanne says, “oh, don’t read that, that’s some old thing that didn’t work. Shouldn’t have killed off the husband” or something, and it’s strongly implied that all the weird stuff in the last season didn’t actually happen?

I think you mean KFC.

Here is a sea turtle with a fucking plastic straw wedged up his fucking nostril:

But if we actually do due diligence and check to see whether a business is actually a business and not a pump-n-dump, then the whole Wall Street/Silicon-Valley/VC circle-jerk where rich assholes get even richer by gambling with other people’s money will come grinding to a halt, and the one part of the American economy…

Meanwhile, it seems nobody really knows where the First Lady herself actually is, she hasn’t made a public appearance since she went in for a routine kidney procedure that usually takes 2-3 days before release, her twitter account oddly changed her location to NYC recently, etc. etc.

That’s not “deer in headlights” bewilderment. That’s smugly putting on a shit-eating grin while communicating with your lack of answers that you regard the entire process as beneath your contempt. The proper allegory is not a teacher and an unprepared student; it’s Martin Skhreli, if he were a billionaire reactionary…

No silly, it’s so you, your own semiliterate self¹, can get into a public shouting match with the head of the World Bank about My Little Pony lorecrafting. Spoiler: it will end with a sick burn from a random celebrity that you never knew was a brony, and you will lose and the head of the World Bank will subsequently…

Is that a distinction that it’s really worth anybody’s time or energy to make or discuss, though? (spoiler: no, it is not)

yes, it is definitely racism, fuck’s sake sort your shit out.

yes, but see (and I would reply to one of my own replies, but they aren’t displaying at all because Kinja hates me): Cynthia Nixon, and any other celebrity with Opinions and some decent rhetoric (side-eyeing you, Oprah) has absolutely no way to prove what she stands for, because she hasn’t actually held office before.
