Gen Z Al Gore: sksksk the ice caps said bye, no cap on us having no caps

Is this where the brain worms emanate from

Developing a morbid fascination with WSB was stupid. Now Reddit keeps showing me subreddits for investing in specific companies and they’re all fanboys who don’t want to be told investing in their favorite company might not have enormous returns. How many people are being financially hurt by this

You can get another $100 with a student discount (trivially easy, just need a .edu email). It’s the Samsung G70D 4K monitor. Nearly half off! A fairly recent release too, so not clearance. What the fuck is the actual margin on these, I thought electronics had low margins?

How is this even possible

If the Oblivion remaster is really dropping next week, that kinda sucks it leaked. RIP the surprise

God I hate fake MSRPs where the "real" price is the sale price. At least put things on sale at the same time to maintain the product stack hierarchy!!

Had this weird dream it was canon Halo lore that Master Chief died because Benjamin Netanyahu accidentally ran him over with his car.

The discourse about the next Dem admin needing to invade to get US citizens out of El Salvador is dumb. -the threat has to be credible, we have to be willing to do it in order for the diplomacy to work -the diplomacy will work and we won’t have to do it

The backlash against Marathon's art style is actually going to give me an aneurysm. These people just hate art and should be banned from playing video games ever. I'm not even *that* hot on it, the backlash is just so fucking stupid. Don't antisocial shut ins love the anime cyberpunk aesthetic??

So on those job applications where you don’t submit a resume but just take an online assessment that’s like “would you say you’re below average, average, or above average at [skill]”, is it a test of honesty or do they want good answers for everything?

If you were in your 30s when the original Marathon games came out, you could conceivably be retired for the new Marathon game. Which is weird to think about since I'm almost 30 and also kind of, idk, funny? to imagine a live service shooter game targeting retirees.

I remember I actually owned the Moto X that was made in America (which I know failed...). It's kinda crazy that like, we probably could onshore some final assembly of iPhones w/smarter incentives but we're tariffing all the inputs too so it's harder now. www.theverge.com/2013/9/11/47...

I figured out my stupid issue with the doors, but I’m just mad this is supposed to be a semi permanent installation that’s modular, but experimenting with the layout at all leaves a bunch of damage. And the door came pre dented and the panel gaps are super inconsistent.

At this point I just read /r/wallstreetbets to hate the rich (upper middle class) more. We need a financial collapse caused by retail investors being stupid to teach people a lesson for at least a while (until we forget and elect politicians to repeal the regulations put in place bc of it)

I still can't get over that I'm literally a young male basically disregarding my college degree and trying to get a job in one of the most masculine coded industries (construction) and I'm being fucked over by the tariffs enacted to punish the womanly email jobs and bring back manly ones.

Holy fucking shit, never let anyone convince you to get an Ikea Pax system. Why did I have to take the room without a closet and convert it into a bedroom. I hate my life.

There really isn’t a single Palestinian Democrats don’t at least want to lock up 🙄 (/j /j massive /j)

Dude what is going on. I just want some fucking certainty about what to buy and the fucking job market. Jesus Christ.

I cannot think of anything more emblematic of the "manosphere" than the fact people are going to lose money betting on a sperm race to raise awareness about some reactionary hysteria over allegedly declining sperm counts.

Canada making South of Midnight

Did they mean to let this out after the tech pump and dump executes on Monday? Who fucking knows what they actually plan to do I give up www.reuters.com/markets/us-c...

LOLLLLLL I’m sorry it’s far more “worship capital” to feel like they’re calling you broke and be bitter about not immediately having the latest thing.

I spent 5 minutes looking at the backlash to Marathon and want to claw my eyes out. I don’t even know what to say. Just shut off the internet. Retvrn to the only way you could get information about games was through gatekept professional magazines.

Mid 2030s. After a decade of failed economic policies the regime relents and allows email jobs in controlled special economic zones. GDP per capita skyrockets to the 5 figures.

🤞 it’s news that will hurt the day traders posting about how their NVDA calls are going to be so profitable after the phone/computer tariff exemption 🤞 I’ve been hate reading WSB too much I hate seeing the gamblers win.

The vibe in this game is so peak I love it so much.

So we still have tariffs on like raw materials, but exempted (except the 10% & 20% tariffs) the finished goods we want to incentivize domestic production of. And we're making the trade deficit worse by creating exemptions while other countries leave up their retaliatory tariffs. Masterful gambit
