Considering they didn’t have the endowment that the Ivy Leagues had developed over centuries, they are VERY smart, money-wise. They bought up shit tons of NYC real estate in the 90s, which they now charge students market-rate prices to live in at minimal expense to themselves. They are now one of the biggest…

I just started replaying it this week for obvious reasons, on a new game +, and man does that Shield Weaver outfit make those falls more pleasant.

It absolutely is, in its own way!

That is the single most frustrating part of the game, and once you’re past it, all the effort will have been made worth it (except the second most frustrating part, for me, was right after, in one of the resource buildings). And the funny thing is, after dying like 10 times doing that, on a second playthrough, I made…

That’s why any bailout should come with equity for the taxpayer. We can all recieve a dividend as a rebate on our tax filings.

I’m in the middle of reading Black Leopard, Red Wolf, and damn that would make a good series...but I think someone already picked it up for a movie? But it seems like it would need like 3 movies just for the first book, and it’s a planned trilogy.

While I don’t dispute that Stop Making Sense is my favorite concert film, it absolutely wasn’t the first, and The Last Waltz (which came out 6 years before) is definitely up there in claims to being “The Best.”

I believe Spike Lee is also making a concert film of it. 

From the CDC website, 2018/2019 flu season in US - 35.5 million cases, 34500 deaths. So you're right to say my stats are off, but wrong in that it's less fatal by an extra order of magnitude from my stats. 

Keep in mind that while the 1918 flu started winter 1918, it didn’t really hit the US til late 1918/early 1919, so this could be a long year with what seems like respite in the summer. And even with a fatality rate of 1%, half of what it is currently, that’s a million people in the US if just 20% of the population…

The flu only kills about 0.2%, so that's ten times less fatal. And covid has been killing much younger people than the flu, but because it's respiratory in nature, it's been affecting younger males who smoke more. 

Gee is great in her 5 minutes as the trashy BBQ lady on the First Nations reservation in one episode of Letterkenny.

Did I go through all the comments and not a SINGLE person put “Ring Around the Rosie” from Get him to the Greek?

The average insurance reimbursement is more like $80, not $130 for therapy. If they work for a group practice, up to half of that goes to the owner of the practice. Only a therapist who wants to burn out fast is seeing more than 5 or 6 patients a day. The rest of the day is bookkeeping, multiple calls to insurance…

Psychologist here! For a 15 minute med check, a psychiatrist gets paid usually between double and triple what a therapist gets paid for a 45 minute therapy hour. But they both have to pay the same commercial rent on their office space. That's why. 

I’m a Warren/Bernie fella, and I think it would be a terrible mistake if Bernie wins the nom for either of them to even consider her for VP. He needs a younger ticket partner to assuage fears about his health, and possibly even a moderate. Stacy Abrams or Julian Castro, possibly. Why would Warren give up a senate seat…

They seemed to have advertisers in the first year, and then switched to selling extra lives in the second. I’m not sure if they lost advertisers, or chose to stop trying to get advertisers (I’m leaning towards the latter, because at its peak it was getting 2M players daily, and who wouldn’t want to advertise on that?…

Sarah mostly left (was fired, then partially rehired?) about a year ago. That’s Anna Roisman, host of HQ Words. I have to give Richardson, Carpenter, Roisman, and Gambino credit - they really did their best in the last year when HQ was flailing.

I literally cashed out my $50 total winnings a week and a half ago. Talk about prescience.

They had ads in the beginning, and then stopped. Why they didn't capitalize on ads and sponsorship at the height of their popularity, I cannot figure out
