Close enough, yes.

I believe bystanders got some vid too.

I've always felt it was a matter of how much you were learning or experiencing new things. When you're very young, literally every second is streaming information into your brain that you've never seen, touched, tasted, done..etc.

Once we get life's patterns down, once we learn what motions we need to go through to ensure our own survival, we also find them banal and literally start blanking them out of our minds while we think of other things, dream of that next new experience that may now be months or even years coming.

What we all miss is that those very motions are our lives. Every one of those seconds we just grind through is time. You wake up at the next experience you've been waiting for, smile wide, and then realize you're 5 years older.

If you want to slow down time, actively seek out new things to do, no matter how small. Sounds easy, doesn't it? It isn't.

Edit to say I've often thought about what it will be like when death is imminent. You know, people say you'll never wish you worked harder on your deathbed? But I tell you what, I 'may' wish for some of those long weeks of 'wishing my life would speed up just because I'm stuck at the office' back.

Kinda makes every moment feel sweet for awhile, appreciating it, at least until you fall back into the old pattern.

Was gonna say, don't believe anything a candidate for office says when their lips are moving.

Back in 1988 I had a school project with a few people, one of whom came from a wealthy family. The project was regarding the stock market, and each team was given a certain amount of imaginary money to invest, to see who would win out at the end of the semester. My friend with the wealthy family came back with a recommendation from his father, of course, and we won the contest easily.

The recommendation? Put all our funds into Berkshire Hathaway.

I had the golden goose egg right in front of me and never invested a dime.

I don't think this post said anything about 'The Game' backfiring.

It specifically calls out that streamers spoke about exactly what they didn't want spoken. That's what the Streisand Effect is.

Congratulations to Game Science for a good game, but it's business as usual for the C-Suite being completely disconnected to how the social world works.

Perfection.

I dunno... 'safe' doesn't mean good, and in Hollywood can often be the opposite. That being said, I agree with the rest.

I absolutely love my fusion hybrid. Hoping it lasts 20 years

I swear I lmao when I first heard they were getting rid of so many cars. It was so obvious they were cutting their own throat.

There's two types of oil, essentially and I don't remember what they are called. When oil was easy to get we built refineries for that kind. When it got scarce you could only get the other kind.

The US in its infinite wisdom decided it was too expensive to build refineries for the new kind, so what we've been doing is sending the oil we pump to other countries who can refine it, then import the kind we can refine.

You mean, if you actually get a decent writer who embraces the lore, they can potentially write engaging stories?

I mean, Eureka guys... never would have thought of that.

Why do you think he strongarmed Teslas shareholders into that big pay day? He's known this was coming, y'all. Tesla's just paying for his misadventure.

I only use Chrome on my work computers for this reason. That being said, google steals the wrong information and it's from a company, I know they've got deeper pockets than me to make them rue the day.

This is exactly how the bridge on a piece of property I used to live on was built. It lasted 20 years but eventually washed out, while I was there, ofc.

20 years ain't bad.

Came here to say this. If I had an AI buddy that could do all sorts of stuff for me and talk about history all day with me on long drives while making sure I was perfectly safe and secure and basically be my best artificial friend...

I'd be riding that train.

Deepest condolences. The Hospitaliers were where I sent my donations as soon as the war broke out and I've been following them for some time.

It takes special people to do what they do every day and I think all of us will only pray harder for their continued safety.

Slava Ukraini.

I liked the latest D&D movie a lot, but I guess that doesn't technically count.

I think this article might be looking at this wrong. Corporations play all kinds of shell games with organizations and lawyers and there are plenty of examples where corps duck responsibility by dissolving or sometimes even reorganizing these organizations.

Just because GARM has dissolved doesn't mean this kind of movement is over... like at all. The article itself states several similar lawsuits that failed.

My father says the same thing about the slim margin of oil companies. That being said, when that slim margin is in the billions and millions of people suffer for it, there's room for inquiry.
