Why does anyone think this guy is some kind of business expert? Why is he propped up by CNBC all the time (and apparently FOX) as if his opinions are at all relevant?

He got rich by using VC money to prop up a real dog of a software company, cooked the books, then sold it to Mattel in what is regarded as one of the worst business deals of all time

Now he makes all his money like Trump did, licensing his brand to sad companies and getting appearence fees. He sells mutual funds with his name on them even though he’s not licensed, because he has nothing to do with them. He ran for Conservative party leadership, then dropped out because he couldn’t be bothered to (or is incapable of) learning French, even though he’s from Montreal.

Business people with real wealth don’t spend all their time on TV or sell Cameo videos from a fake Shark Tank set, willing to endorse any shady business for a few thousand dollars.

Just ignore this guy, he’s the worst.

I’m unclear what percentage is bots and what is oblivious people with nothing useful to add but a compulsion to contribute anyway.

I’m convinced (without evidence) that the bots who have wholesale taken over that aren’t just copying and pasting are LLMs instructed to respond “in the sarcastic tone of a redditor”.

With bots being the majority, any actual human who enters the conversation either emulates that style to fit in, or to seek the upvotes/approval of everyone else who gets it for responding in that way.

The LLMs then train off this new, more toxic engagement going forward, creating an Ouroboros-esque race to the bottom

I worked somewhere with legitimate Aerons once. Was the only office chair I’ve shared workspaced on that didn’t have either an odorous reek or armrests picked to bare foam.

Project Farm on YouTube often rates Ryobi, Husky, and Harbor Freight brands as being pretty good.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be! We know things are bad, worse than bad, they’re crazy!!! It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy so we don’t go out anymore! We sit in the house and slowly the world we’re living in is getting smaller and all we say is ‘please at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything’!

I bought Haze for PS3 the day it came out even after reading a lot of mid to negative reviews, both because I really love all three TimeSplitters games and wanted to support the devs, and also out of a feeling of ‘how bad could it really be?’. It was incredibly boring, graphically underwhelming, and I ended up beating it the same day I bought it. Tried to trade it in and even on release week EB offered me an incredibly insulting amount, like $7 or something, and I still took it.

myself and everyone I knew were massive fans of the N64 WCW and WWF games, but I had played the PS2 Yukes! games at friends houses and always kinda hated them. Ended up getting Wrestlemania X8 because I somehow got to actually go to the event at Skydome, and even with that huge bias still thought the game was shit and barely ever played it.

Wrestlemania was fucking wild though, it fell on the same day as St. Patricks and everyone there was drunk as shit, tons of fan scuffles and rowdiness, as a high schooler was a total blast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF6QaE69Dus Rerez did a video about it that just about covers everything there is to the game, I found it amusing

it only happens on day one so don’t worry about it

I was watching CNN again the other night and they had some Republican guy on the panel who admitted this, when they asked him about the “DEI Candidate” talk he said it was unfortunate and a bad idea but that the language had been monetized on social media so everyone’s been trained to say it.

Mayor of Vaughan but I get your point

Doug got in to replace Patrick Brown pretty late in the game after CTV reported that Brown was a creep with young (but later turned out to be legal age) women at bars in Barrie and a snap leadership race stuck us with him. I just looked it up again and he was leader for about three months before the Provincial election, Del Duca was around for two years.

the Sam Bankman-Fried FTX trial kind of told it all when it came out in sworn testimony that politicians are such a value buy, and to get media all over your Democratic bribes, but best to keep the equal RNC ones dark. How could you be blind to the Supreme Court justices being bought? But look! some people are fighting on an airplane, people tweeted about tipping culture and omg somebody old trended and people thought they died but not yet!

Anyone remember the movie Wag the Dog? The folksy saying “you don’t swich horses midstream” was the literal campaign message?

Hi, kids, do you like violence?

Wanna see me stick nine-inch nails through each one of my eyelids?
