I guess I'm too old for this sh*t, the whole thing just sounds terribly juvenile.

No, not millions. Billions. Like $70+ billion.

Interesting. Assuming it did not use DirectDraw -- that's often a major pain point.

This is pretty much the experience of trying to play any game from the '90s on modern hardware. It always requires a bit of tinkering and usually a patch from the modding community. Funniest one I've found is Fallout Tactics. The random encounter frequency is somehow tied to clock speed so you'll basically get hit with random encounters during map travel about once every half second.

I've lived in LA ~12 years in a couple of different apartments. In all my apartment hunting I've never encountered a unit that doesn't come with a refrigerator.

-> or take horse medicines

Guessing you're referring to the long-debunked notion that Ivermectin is purely "horse medicine." A cursory search (which you apparently have never bothered to do in 5 years) reveals it's been approved by the FDA for human use since 1987 and is on the WHO's list of essential medicines.

I don't need to use him. I know plenty of poors who routinely shoot themselves in the foot IRL.

Cognitive ability/IQ is actually a better metric for predicting poverty than socioeconomic background BTW.

You make dangerous assumptions about me in order to justify your preexisting view of poverty and socioeconomic mobility.

My background is very poor. Food stamps, raised by single mom, whole nine yards. For most of my 20s I existed in the very same cycle of bad financial decisions that many other poor people engage in.

My situation had approximately a 0% chance of changing until the behavior changed. That doesn't mean behavioral changes are always enough, but they are the absolute bare minimum and an excellent starting point.

People I still know in bad situations refuse to acknowledge this and refuse to critically examine their decisions. They do nothing but avoid, avoid, avoid and hope for a miraculous windfall.

Have you ever watched Caleb Hammer's "Financial Audit?"

People in dire financial situations very often have a history of making bad decisions with money.

Personally I do not struggle with money/budgeting but the only time I will ever use something like InstaCart is if I am sick and can't leave the house.

It's state-facilitated theft from an individual to a $20 billion multinational corporation.

Sure he tried to do something bad but he should've been compensated a fair market value for the domain.

The famous little jingle "shave and a haircut, two bits"

Most people today have no clue what a "bit" is.

I imagine the future will hold something similar for the penny in all the idioms and cultural phrases we have. What the hell is a penny?

And why wouldn't that be plausible given effectively all available cognitive data support this conclusion?

Of course I'm being facetious. I know why. No one wants to ponder that because of the stigma, so everyone puts their head in the sand and avoids the uncomfortable.

I would much rather live in a society that tolerates and shakes off a bit of racism than one that jails people for offensive memes.

You can't police people into not being racist. People have always been racist/xenophobic to some extent and always will be. It's cultural conflict and tribal in nature.

No one proclaimed that.

They announced that Tylenol could be linked to neurological development issues, including autism.

Right now seemingly all of Bluesky is in a frenzy trying to insinuate that this killer is somehow a Republican or "MAGA." Or a Groyper.

The level of cognitive dissonance when people lock themselves in echo chambers is truly astonishing.

You can literally scroll for hours, thousands of posts of people making the same sorts of outrageous and deflective claims.
