The more I think about this show, the less I think it stuck any of its landings aside from Sam being a good Captain America. The people that worked on the show getting out there and saying they hoped by the end that viewers would like John Walker… did they watch the show they made? Who would like that fucking guy, OLO. Sam giving him “the nod” in the finale was Rambeau, “they’ll never know what you went through,” tier nonsense, get that shit out of here. But uh, Hawkeye not hunting down the Power Broker ain’t a plot hole, LUL. Sam and Bucky are going all over the world dealing with terrorist threats and they didn’t even know the Power Broker existed. Hawkeye was killing Mexican cartel members and Yakuza publicly, there’s no reason to assume he’s doing more homework than looking for dudes with gold plated guns or who have 75% of a pinky, come on now.

I feel like this is adjacent to saying all Americans are African Americans because humanity started in Africa. Yes, goods and services have arbitrary value, but there’s still a difference between spending money on a thing and spending money on something that proves you bought a thing, and I think that different is more than semantic. I appreciate that it’s 2021 and this is a video game forum; we all spend money on games and digital content that we don’t “own” all the time.

An NFT is just a receipt. It’s different from spending a shitload if money on art that you could buy a print of because at the end of the transaction you own the art. When you spend money on an NFT all you bought is the receipt saying you bought the NFT. Yes both are flexes, but they’re still meaningfully different.

Yes.

Good, now say NFTs and bitcoins are employees as well.

Hey, nice. If they keep up the brisk pace and ditch some of the “filler” I imagine they’ll be able to wrap up in 3 seasons if they really pushed it. 5 - 6 if they take a slower pace.

Strong… … energy. Really I just wanted an excuse to post that pic, apologies.

Maybe this would destroy Vince McMahon financially, that would be a nice side effect.

Ugh, sorry, this is the worst feeling. When I was in a position to hire people, I let them know of a decision within a couple hours if it was a no. Sucks to be on the hook

How ESPN and the NFL have managed to convince people the NFL Draft is interesting, let along worth watching, will always be completely beyond my comprehension. It’s the worst.

Look at this guy’s sex brag right here.

Thanks, I hate it.

People still file taxes?

Apple’s own displays never sold all that well. They were super expensive and at the time they made them it was trickier to come by information about who was making the panel. I dunno that they could get away with an Apple tax on something that’s 5% Apple and 95% Samsung when it’s only a display.

You need to think like you eat more elk meat.

Manchin really getting that smooth brain to work overtime.

I like the new iMac look, but I think if I was going to go Mac desktop anytime soon it'd be a mini with a monitor. I don't think it's likely they'll hit that line up with color, so my wallet should be safe. I'm perhaps unwell when it comes to how I like my electronics to look. The ports thing is weird. I honestly don't know anyone that's used a port on their device for anything other than extended monitor in literal years with the sole exception of photographers. The most disappointing thing for me that Apple's done is re-allowed the Parler app on the App Store. If I didn't have almost 13 years worth of investment in the Apple ecosystem, I'd be tempted to move... except that google is objectively worse in terms of data privacy in every way.

But what about the cost of maintaining currencies in general, and other fallacies?

It’s really something that (assuming this is true for a moment) that “virus” is too real but American soldiers acting with impunity across the globe remains just fine.

Beatles fans just felt a disturbance in the Force...

As a white person it drives me bananas that “woke” being used as a pejorative has come to mean, “there are black people present.” That said it is a convenient way to easily identify people to ignore, so, silver lining I guess.

If I could add things to the high school curriculum... 1) Stats 2) Basic finance 3) Home ec that includes cooking, sewing, and some other third thing that I usually bitch about and now cannot remember

95% of the population has 1/3 of a change at understanding probability anyway.
