So I agree Christmas decorations shouldn’t be political (Halloween just happened, and tons of good opportunities for political decorations there), and I’m not saying you couldn’t go “over the top” with your religious decorations, but I actually love when holiday decorations are religious- I have a neighbor with a big…

And sure, if you are buying new lights it’s probably more “green” to buy LED lights, but there is no way you should throw away functional lights to replace them with LED.

Sadly, the Maple Syrup Heists weren’t people going to the reserve and stealing Maple Syrup, it was people delivering less Maple Syrup to the reserves than they were being paid for.

Boring was your description of Phase 4, not mine.

Phase 1 of the MCU was far from boring though.

Ant Man is perhaps my favorite Marvel series just because I like that it’s funny, and not just tacked on jokes, but really it’s focused on being a comedy.

This article is published every year, and every year it’s a nothing article. Of course the most common passwords are stupid passwords, good passwords have a near 0% chance of being used by two people.

So I can’t find any of your links actually leading to a story about this lawsuit so we can learn more- so I’ll pose the question here: is the lawsuit alleging these celebrities knew that FTX was defrauding people, or are they just associated with them? It’s a pretty big distinction.

He’s a fraudster and a douchebag, but watching the documentary, he doesn’t come across as stupid. It takes a certain intelligence to keep finding new suckers to defraud.

Not that John Wick was ever realistic, per se, but it was at least believable. This is more in line with a superhero movie than a gritty action movie.

Advertising is a grift now? Do you feel the same way about people who make ads that go on TV or magazines?

If I told you back in the 90's that someone could make a living in advertising, would you believe it? Because all “influencers” are, is advertisers. And it’s not every very different from traditional advertising. Company pays you to take really good photos of their food, write a blurb about how good it is, and publish…

It’s like how everyone was convinced that Top Gun Maverick would bomb because it had no audience, and then made well over a billion.

What makes you sure the sales person in the final story was a man?

To ad some context to the numbers, how the “Targeted Audience” was determined is important. To quote from the paper:

It also could have been solved by bringing his spare key.

Does he not have two keys? Wouldn’t that have fixed this?

Do most people not go for a walk with whoever you ate dinner with after dinner? I don’t want to eat and then just sit at the table for another hour or so. After we eat a nice meal, everyone at our table goes walking around the area, and maybe hopping into a bar or two while we’re at it.

“but some vegetables (and fruits we refer to as “vegetables”) don’t fare so well even with that extra step.”
