i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

"We realized we were making ourselves deeply vulnerable to a class action suit that absolutely would have wiped us out financially so we're going to find a way to do this without actual human names attached."

Looks like they lowered the price of the trees from $/£7.50 to $/£2.50.

This is called "anchoring". What you do is you begin with a higher price and then you lower it, or you have it go on sale. This makes people gush over how now it's a deal.

So, I looked at the price of a TV online on Walmart's web site last night. I looked at it again today and its $150 more expensive. Retailers: dynamic pricing is not going to make you more money off me. It just means I won't shop there.

don’t be these guys

For women, one of the very difficult things about the Epstein emails is having all our worst professional suspicions confirmed.

You wonder in darker moments if men say this kind of awful stuff about us (individually, and as a class) to each other, and here it is all confirmed in writing.

this entire situation shouldn’t be too surprising but perfectly illustrates how so many men just despise women and that that hatred is actively an important aspect of the far right project

Watching Delicious in Dungeon with the kids and we’re talking about ai and cognitive death.

Another reason conspiracy theorists are desperate to rewrite the history books about this is that it came out that a lot of their internet hangouts were built by pedophiles who specifically said in their emails "we can weaponize these people because they are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet"

yeesh

Remade my Pandaren Inn exterior

They fucked up Xbox so fucking bad, and now they put a genAI sycophant who knows nothing about the game industry in charge.

My next guess is that all the big studios they bought up are going to be shut down. What an ignominious way for Blizzard and Bethesda to end.

Oppose illegal kidnapping, you could die to federal agents.

Your driving robot kills someone and maybe 7 years later you have to pay a fraction of a percentage of the sham valuation of your company.

Cool, consumer prices are coming back down, right?

this is a subtle but IMO wildly underappreciated problem

Some WoW players when a character who was fighting for peace and liberation is happy with not fighting once that goal is reached (it's character assasination)

Not a mom, but sentiment is largely the same.

discord lied. don't give them your ID or a facial scan. don't trust them with your ID or biometric data.

political slap fights should be about insufferable philosophy and engineering nerds trying to assassinate each other over nuclear plants vs solar fields not the whiniest fascists in history trying to do yet another decade of "do women and racialized people deserve rights"

If this guy ends up being an ubiquitous parapolitical figure I’m gonna be so fucking annoyed. How many idiot boy kings could one civilization possibly need

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month Age verification for all.

It's so wild that we live in a world where the response to "teenagers don't like genocide" is politicians pushing "let's stop teenagers from using the internet" so hard that Discord has opted to shoot its own foot off

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

This piece is deeply depressing and also extremely dumb?
She says she makes six figures because she pumped out hundreds of books with AI. But the books aren’t how she’s making that. She “offers a course” on how to churn out AI slop books and charges people for it.
So, a bog standard grift

a certain 🪳content creator🪳 published a video on this topic recently, and he and his audience lament how everything old was cool and brutal and how the game has changed...

...i wish i could give them a mirror to look at themselves. blizz has changed, but the guys making the noise are unrecognizable

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

YOU RUIN THE PUBLICATION, DRIVE OFF ALL THE SUBSCRIBERS, DO HIS DIRTY WORK, AND ONLY *THEN* LEAVE?????

Yall… sometimes THAT side of the wow community is just exhausting. Literally addicted to chaos and hate and getting engagement from it.

i'd rather play a game the cockroach man doesn't like, actually, so i'm fine with that. we don't need to "prove him wrong" and try to win anyone over. if his audience is driven away, then all the better

Reminded myself of this today, the official storyboards for the ‘Take to the Skies’ cinematic from Dragonflight got posted on Facebook.

The fact that Wrathion *was* supposed to be in a CGI cinematic like the artbook but was the ONLY character from it that got cut will forever frustrate me lol
