I did… that was the part about extracting value from a dying industry.

Progressive taxes are not the same as ‘progressive’ in terms of social politics.

Progressive taxes are how our tax brackets work. The more you make, the more you pay. This is them saying private companies will use progressive taxation as their model for pricing goods.

I’ve been playing the Zelda series since the original NES game in the 80s. BOTW and TOTK are some of my favorites.

It did pass and is tied to performance of the company. He doesn’t actually get a 55B bonus. His bonus is in the form of stock, its award is tiered based on revenue-tied performance, and he can’t sell the stock until 5 years after it’s awarded, as to prevent a pump-and-dump incentive structure.

False. Any good lounge should have you reclined and looking naturally towards the joint between the wall and ceiling. Having a tv that is at eye line while you are sitting vertically is not comfortable when you are lounging. You end up crooking your neck down.

It’s apples and oranges for how you prefer to lounge, but I hate TVs placed even with eye-level while I’m standing if I am in a legit lounge. I recognize that other people like to be more vertical while they sit, as I’ve had this argument with a close friend… but for me, the lounge is king.

No, but he is finding out why twitter had all of its policies on combatting misinformation before he took over and gutted the staff… to prevent getting sued. You can say anything you want in America and the government can’t tell you that you aren’t allowed to say it, but you are still accountable for the damages caused by what you say… just ask Alex Jones.

But operating in other countries doesn’t afford the same protections from government scrutiny.

Disinformation campaigns are part of the reason social media is causing as much social strife in the world. It is not outside a logical line of thought that governments are going to attempt to minimize the damages from platforms like Twitter when they can. You may not beat misinformation, but you can minimize the financial incentive to promote it if you fine the fuck out of it when you find it.

Well, except for locking them in a place with actual violent criminals… and violent prison guards. Jail is a pretty fucked up place, even if you get 3 hots and a cot.

Reminds me of the Jimi Hendrix song “Bold as Love”…

“…he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor. Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him, Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground. Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted, They quietly understand. Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready, But wonder why the fight is on…

My red is so confident, he flashes trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria. Orange is young, full of daring, But very unsteady for the first go round. My yellow, in this case, is not so mellow, In fact, I’m trying to say it’s frightened like me. And all of these emotions of mine keeps holding me from giving my life to a rainbow like you…

But, they’re all bold as love…”

Is a cure for sleeping something that makes it so you don’t have to sleep or something that makes you sleep really good?
