Really I just sorta ignore the factual errors of conservative commentators at this point, and first just see if their statement makes sense to begin with, but yeah that as well.
Cyberpunk has gotten a lot of shit even before launch, and that dumpster fire of a launch didn't improve things either. And well, Dr Seuss was never cancelled, by any meaning of that bastardized term. Two books are no longer being published following a decision by the publisher that seemingly came out of nowhere.

After much research, I've learned that stocks are basically no different from collectible items such as funko pops or pogs or pokemon cards When asked "why would someone pay you more for this later?" the answer is, invariably, "because yet another stonks person might buy it from THEM for an even higher price later still" There's no explanation anywhere for why exactly that is, other than vague allusions to "the success of the company" with no causal link between a company's success and its stock price going up beyond the fact that it seems to be the case
>>940865 wat stocks sometimes pay out dividends which gives them a reference point in real money
S C
Most don't though Some do, for sure, and for those it makes sense for people to want the stonks But the real heavy hitters are non-dividend stocks
S C
And really, even the dividend doesn't explain why anyone wants them Like, apple stocks are 134 dollars atm, but in 2020 they paid out like $2.50 per stock in dividends You'd need to hold it for 5 years just to get the initial price you paid for it
Tesla doesn't even pay dividends, and has no intention of ever doing so
S C
wait no more like 50 Like if you have the money to make anything significant from the dividends, you're already so absurdly rich you're probably apathetic towards money Granted it was 80 or so a pop in 2020, but that's still an absurdly long timeframe just to double your money

I feel like "beavers are one of the few animals like us who toil to adapt their habitat to themselves instead of just accepting it." Is a bit of a human-centric view on the nature though Plenty of animals will toil to adapt their habitat to themselves, humans (and by extensions beavers) aren't particularly special for it

Beavers are adorable little pests And a great benefit to their natural environment I think that's the other reason that line doesn't sit well with me Both humans and beavers may have a very macro difference on their environment because of their engineering impulses/desires But beavers create incredibly rich ecosystems through their dam building and can help a forest not over-grow into self-damaging levels by going after greenshoot trees for food Where as human construction is, well.

im being deprived of the opportunity to be her caretaker when i have been for half of my life it only got this bad because of the hospital disregarding my special instructions in the first place for her exceptional needs/rare conditions she should have been extubated on april 9th and remained off of it but the fucking shitcan nurse just mistook her normal affect as 'incoherent' and a bad reaction, so rather than letting me know they had woken her up, they just restrained her and re-sedated her and ignored her cries for help i did get to see her that evening very briefly and she was fully alert and conscious and coherent, but the nurse got combative with me about it and refused to acknowledge it, and the next morning she was back on the ventilator
im so pissed about so many things and there's nothing i can do about any of it and now she's so damaged that she probably just needs to have her suffering ended and that'll probably happen in the morning im completely drained on all levels i dont have it in me

i'm sorry to hear it. that's horrible

thanks for listening

the caregiver syndrome is such a bitch too id say there's nothing i can do but there is, and im just restricted from doing them because it's not reasonable to anyone else
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
it must be maddening to have no one listen to you at thr hospital
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i guess you will have to see it through how will you spend the night?

probably looking for someone to talk to i really got no one who i can do that with without locking up maybe sugoi but iunno

It's like in office space You skim a quarter of a cent off each coffee cup in the world, and you're gonna be making a lotta money with nobody even really noticing
!C0.PerkELE
get a bot that skims a tiny cunk off of each money transfer and swim in billions
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
until you go to jail
S C
Yeah I feel like the main issue with Office Space was that like Surely, SURELY an account not actually tied to a company receiving millions of tiny, tiny, tiny sums of money each day, and it only ever goes in and to one of 3 accounts later... that's what's called a red flag
!C0.PerkELE
yup you'd only actually have like a day at max or maybe a week and then you'd have toa lready have to somehow move it *launder it all
S C
I honestly think you'd be less likely to get caught if you just took a sizeable chunk all in one go, like once a month Like, at least that LOOKS legit, to the bank
!C0.PerkELE
sad but true
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Skimmers are bad business because they're traceable. It'll always come back to you. Even if you just take a sum out of an account, it's going to come back to you because they will know exactly when the money was taken.
It's better to simply take physical things you can sell if you're trying to make money like that because physical things typically can't be traced as easily and there's no way to know exactly when they were taken which gives you opportunities to create alibis. Of course, stealing is wrong and you should never do it. This is hypothetical.
S C
Well yeah, but at least you'll have more time with a lump sum once a month than a million tiny chips every day
Alternatively now, you could dump that money into something valuable and then sell that yourself later Hell you could probably do it with like, """new TV for the breakroom", that you just... take home and sell on ebay
!C0.PerkELE
any kind of skimming operation wouldb e similiar to a blackmail or ransom if you somehwo get away with the money, enjoy not living as you for the rest of your life
and ofc, with that amount of money it can be fun, but still and even then there is a random risk of say random DUI etc fucking you over
S C
Once you're rich enough, you can just become impervious to law enforcement It's a race against time to catch you, if you get too much money they're not allowed to catch you anymore
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Only if you have a legitimate face, though. The political power doesn't come from having money specifically, but the legitimacy bought with money.
!C0.PerkELE
>>941083 not if the ones you stole from are richer
S C
True Though, if you just stash the money somehow, you could just do your time and then go get it back after If you're willing to do a buncha years
Like, if you start a company with the money before they get you, what are they gonna do, forcefully kill the company? auction it, maybe?
!C0.PerkELE
if I did an op like that, I'd just move to somwhere stable, where money really buys you everything
I mean russia would be close enough to me, but generally it would be some micronation in the tropics
!C0.PerkELE
>>941086 In sweden, it was house loans, I think that would be forgotten in some 20 or 30 years even if not paid off
so a rather amusing "heist" would be to get a damn large loan (or was it any loan, including company loans) and then just skip the country
move into some micronesia and come back maybe after the loan has expired >>941089 I've done this
S C
I wonder if there are people out there just running a circular lending grift where they're paying off a credit card with another and another and another on rotation like a merrygoround Just accruing evermore debt, but it doesn't particularly matter cause you always pay it off, and once it all falls apart the debt is at a point where there's simply no way you could possibly pay it off, and the banks just have to take the hit Cause like, you don't have assets worth $1M, you simply don't. They can't get that from you, and there's not 5 of them all trying to get it from you

Madoka hyyyyyype They sure worked fast on that Rebellion sequel huh. Can't wait for Sayaka Magica
S C

S C
I don't know if you're serious or not about them working fast on it because I don't remember when the last movie came out
!C0.PerkELE
>>941089 also depends prolly on country and bank to bank but eventually they won't let you get anymore loans and there are limits to how much you can acquire in one purchase/withdraw

>>941092 what are you talking about, it was just a few months ago!
Anno
>>941090 I still haven't seen Rebellion Maybe I should get to that before the next movie is available
Okay, that's enough reliving my former self. Good day, ready for suffering, frens? I sure am not! >>941103 i mean the movie and yeah, it's been eight years since Rebellion >>941095 You probably know everything that's happened in it by now but yeah, you should watch it. For the cake song.
S C
Suffering?
!C0.PerkELE
but in termso f madoka I don't think there is anything in production aside record? what was it called the spinoff sequel
Anno
>>941102 Doesn't the movie not even have a release date yet Can't suffer until the movie is watchable! Not that I'd really suffer from it anyway.
S C
See you can't do time fuckery like that with me because everything past the last 2 years exist in a singular point in time in my head, with no anchoring It all happened at once, but far apart from eachother, and in differing orders each time I look
Koi
>>941105 well, i'm still suffering anyway because I have to go to a wedding next week and I gotta read something in front of people. Which isn't really a problem but they haven't decided what I'm reading yet. >>941104 not currently. I think the mobile game is still on in JP but eh
Anno
Well you don't really have to And plus, there's still a pandemic going on! You shouldn't be going to frivolous social engagements like weddings!
Anno
>>941102 I actually don't really have any idea what goes on in Rebellion Aside from Homura did nothing wrong My spoiler guard skill is absolutely top-notch and I have been polishing it to perfection dodging spoilers on Rebellion for eight years
Koi
>>941108 if it wasn't my sister's, I wouldn't be going at all. I also would prefer to just not do anything or go anywhere on a Sunday but ~familial obligation~
Koi
it's fine. if I drop from Covid because of this, I'll have the last laugh because now they won't be able to leave their son with me to watch! This is not a very silver lining
Anno
... I know watching your nephew is pretty exhausting and annoying But yeah, I dunno if it's worse than enduring Covid And you can't have the last laugh if you're dead.
Koi
If I'm dead, it's the last canonized laugh I'll ever hear. So it's the last laugh to ME.

time to get up and head to the mall to pick up the suit...
At the coffee place I go to a few times a week, when I was there on Friday, they had a tally on the plexiglass screen at the cash for whether people like carrot cake cool or at room temperature And the guy working the cash polled me for my opinion But I don't really like carrot cake, so
Anno
he added a third column for NOPE, and put my vote in there And visiting the place today, I noticed the tally for the column had increased to three So it feels nice to not be alone in my dislike
someone tried to break in our house a few days ago and i'm tryna get the stupid files off our surveillance system but the system is ass and has so far broken one of my old USB keys and is threatening to destroy my second newer USB key that is probably riddled with STIs now

dressed to kill
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
One of my clients was really fucking crazy today. He asked me what I would do if he tried to kill me. I told him I know martial arts and carry a knife, and he was like "haha so maybe I couldnt kill you then" And then he was telling me that John Lennon is real and /// alive and he has a telepathic connection to him and he started speaking as John Lennon in front me. front of me And he kept snapping. Just snapping, snapping, snapping, snapping.
He started telling me that one time he did meth with a murderer and they shared a needle, and he could feel the murder through the meth, and that meth connected him to the universe. And I think he was fantasizing about me sexually, too.
This is the first time I've ever been made legitimately uncomfortable by a client. He's this weak little gay boy so it's not like he could take me in a fight but it still made me uncomfortable.
S C
Are you qualified to treat Magneto's followers?
Anno
>this psychopath client thinks John Lennon is real
S C
Are you gonna refer him to someone else?
rook
John Lennon isn't real but he CAN hurt you
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>>941141 I dunno. I've been seeing this guy for a few weeks and he's always been weird but never "I want to sexually kill someone vibes" weird. I'm going to try to get rid of him probably.
S C
It just seems like it's probably not good for either of you if one of you is uncomfortable with the other
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\rook
was he on meth during the session?
Anno
It does kinda sound like he's slipping into some unstable behaviour or is on something
But it's probably related to meth induced psychosis since that can last for 6+ months after stopping heavy meth use.
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I just hope he doesn't get any weirder. He's in group right now with some other people. Hopefully he doesn't do anything too insane. Like kill someone.
rook
he might he got injected with murder so it's always a possibility
Anno
meth and feta memes
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
what would you do if you got injected with murder
Anno
Probably die
S C
>>941153 I dunno, do you have a lot of options other than murder if you're injected with it?
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I don't know, I've never been injected with it.
WAIT THE HINAMIZAWA SYNDROME WAS CAUSED BY THE MURDER METH IT ALL MAKES SENSE

How would you know? Neither of us are spiritually connected to the cosmos, so would we know?
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Wouldn't we be connected to the cosmos if we had the murdermeth?

I dunno, it seems like only the people who can talk to and channel John Lennon or similar would be

Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
>>941199 Perfect Winter is just starting here That's my new go-to
Anno
And then you can commiserate about the way the weather is/was with themthem Or talk about the kinds of things you like to do when the weather's the way you like it That's the real knack here. As long as you're earnest and enthusiastic about the things you're saying, people will generally respond. Unless of course they don't really want to talk, but at that point eh, just take the L
>>941194 there is a quite huge difference between constant energy usage and being an hour away from starving whenever you are non-hibernating
Anno
Regardless, it's evident their energy inefficiency doesn't matter in the long term scale of things, considering the family of hummingbird species have survived quite well over the years Natural selection isn't a system of perfect rationality and economic precision All sorts of species can find a niche they can thrive in

Man Basquash was actually really fun I enjoyed watching that a lot

I only saw a couple of episodes, I wasn't as into anime around that time

>>941198 gross now i have and i wish i hadn't this is your fault

you said to ask you anything though

just because you have the right and the power doesn't mean you have the justification the justification makes the difference between the hero and the villain the man and the beast

Aaa
AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH NO MY WEAKNESS
Anno
i watched the first few eps of How Not To Summon A Demon Lord
it's degenerate and shadow kusoani my favorite kind
rook
>isekai >degenerate SHOCK
Anno
shallow* >>941221 re:zero is for the most part not degenerate i tried to think of others but damn you're kinda right
rook
re:zero is pretty good yeah the problem with isekai is that they're nearly always wish fulfillment first and foremost like hey look, this dumb loser's life became amazing YOU COULD BE THAT DUMB LOSER TOO
Anno
adaptations t end to be made of stuff that sells well and wish fulfillment seems to sell well and I'm pretty sure the re:zero WN has more of that than the anime we're getting
it's one of the reasons i get so hype for anime originals or VN adaptations of ones that are actually interesting i feel like they have actual potential
Anno
The vast majority of isekai are pretty much web novels that got turned into light novels/manga that eventually got anime adaptations So they usually have their roots in the author basically having full range freedom to write how they want to write And get moved up on that production pipeline by being popular and rated highly And as we all know about the average taste of the general populace It's absolute garbage So most of the stuff that gets closer to the stage where we can watch it as anime is stuff that panders or at least tickles the interests of the general populace.
Anno
will
oops
well just because romcom harems are absolute garbage does NOT mean I'm going to stop watching it
>>941226 some day I hope to reach this level of enlightenment you and marsh are surely aspects of bhudda
Anno
>>941226 I'm not saying the isekai series are absolute garbage, I'm saying the opinions of the people who help move the series along that we end up seeing as anime are so muddled by the sheer number of people involved that there's a degree of fulfilling lowest common denominator to meet their demands And some times we're looking at a LCD of 5 but the numbers we're looking at are 5, 50, and 6000 They all meet that LCD but one of those numbers is incomparably higher
Anno
>>941230 i don't smoke meth i don't inject weed anime titties are all that i need
Anno
>>941231 i don't know, i feel like the real people to blame are the suits who just want more anime shoveled into the steam engine that powers their portfolios

Okay I get it you're drunk I won't finish my points in time here

gotta crank those numbers, you'll never get cirrhosis at this rate
buti can't say I'm that may mad we still get elf titties and nekogirl sorcerers and cute dragon girls

some day they'll adapt dungeon meshi and I will love anime again

some day they'll adapt BlazBlue and I'll love anime even more
rook
which blaz would u blu?
Anno
oh God i don't even know Noel would be more earnest but maybe she'd run the mood Bullet seems like the most fun but what if she's more than i can handle I'm a baka through and through though, so i can relate the best with Tsubaki, and her maligned pursuit of justice >>941246 oh no no no no not the bugs......
rook
too late, now you're stuck with arakune
rook
also the right answer was litchi, obviously
Anno
>>941241 At this point I almost wonder if the mangaka doesn't want them to adapt it I don't think it's hugely popular in Japan but it must have fairly consistent popularity to maintain its serialization And if it was entirely left up to the publisher and animation production committees, well they've certainly greenlit more irrelevant series for animation.
tsubaki seems cool but I really don't know much about the blazblue characters, just some superficial details I only ever played a little of chronophantasma extend and I was Very Bad at it >>941249 entirely possible, though I'd hav // have to wonder why they wouldn't want an adaptation worried about the integrity of the story I guess but they don't delve into anything too serious until pretty far into the manga they could easily have a 12 episode adaptation that would keep the story relatively lighthearted, aside from the whole missing sister bit
Anno
tsubaki fucking sucks
rook
prove it

she reads an eye book lmao

wait like one of those magic eye books that ruined my eyesight as a child?
