Gaming literacy is a real thing. Most people who didn’t grow up with 3D games don’t intuitively understand it. I’ve seen many boomers either stare at their feet or the ceiling & they have no clue how to solve their situation because they are disoriented. Same with young kids learning.
I completely agree with the judgment that this is stupid on many levels. The article didn’t discuss cost, but that’s what I want to know. This is an embarrassment and a waste of tax dollars. How many lifetimes of middle class income did it cost to transport an obscene amount of extra guests to what should be a business expense?
It feels like this is a rage bait engagement ploy. Frontload the video with bullshit (again, projecting, because these same claims are levied against the last election in favor of 47), then put some rage bait shit at the end that the press runs too. The outrage bounces off of Teflon while his audience & the people pissed signal boost / raise engagement.
Why is “don’t” censored a bunch in the Epstein file? I wonder… 🤔
See Trump 1, week 1, “alternative facts.”
Doublespeak, as someone said.
I was included in this. Was laid off back in June 2025. One of the best places I ever worked.
The industry is super tough. I got very lucky & started a new job at the beginning of the month. Being out of work for 6 months sucked, and some people I mentor have been out much longer.
If you think about it as “What’s the percentage chance that 1 of 4 family members is a sociopath? What’s the percentage that 2 family members are sociopaths?”, then I think it has to be less than 4%. Genetics make it more likely than 4% * 4%, I think.
For years, I’ve heard people say, “What? You want to outlaw wealth?”
This level of wealth? Yes. Tax it at 99% above 1bn.
You won the money game. Stop playing it. Help society.
Billionaire math
Average USA billionaire has about $7b in wealth.
2026 * 365 = 739,490
$7,000,000,000 / 739,490 = $9,465.98
You would need to make $9k per day, for 2026 years, to catch up to the average billionaire wealth right now.
It’s estimated in 2026 that it would cost $37b to end world hunger until 2030.
Also note that Musk, Bezos, and other extreme billionaires are up to 100x of the average here ($700b for Musk). Who is making $900k per day?
This is not natural, it’s not rational, and it’s completely bullshit. You can come up with whatever distraction you want (“wealth & income aren’t the same”), but we should be taxing every dollar above $1b at 99% or higher.
30 years * 365 day = 10,950
$1,000,000,000 / 10,950 = $91,324.20
I could easily live off of $91k per DAY for 30 YEARS.
If you put these numbers against a human time scale we can understand, I don’t see the argument for this level of wealth, especially not as people go hungry, without clothes or food, and children die.

Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.
I think you’d have to change the goals of the game based on whoever last positively or negatively interacted with him. Something like “+Military attack vs. the last player with a negative interaction; -Military attack vs all other players,” where the bonus is ever changing.
It seems like he’d have gold earnings at the cost of reduced production domestically. But also some push-pull, like every 50 gold generates 1 unhappiness, with costal cities generating twice as much unhappiness.
I’d want to see some other dice roll mechanic that changes the Civ every 2-3 turns. It would probably be something around culture, but now the character’s mechanics are a little crowded.
For units, it appears they’d use a battleship that’s a complete disaster and not actually helpful. There’s probably also something like a priest / culture bomb unit, like you can send an influencer which causes unhappiness in other states when it gets to a city (sort of like a spy).
Tl;dr the body cam footage picked up on “the princess & the frog” in the background, which distorted the report.
I write this so you don’t have to click on the story. I agree with other posters; this is lazy police work from Utah.
Agreed here. Why bring in gender at all?
Fuck yeah, math homie. Thank you.

The whole point of producing a warrant and identification is because criminals will copy this shit. If someone busted into my house and didn’t show documentation, then I feel fully within my rights to defend myself. How do you know they aren’t when they intrude like criminals?
I’m a privileged white person, so I’m not targeted. If I brandished a weapon, I may get a chance to explain. If I was brown or black, probably shot instantly.
I know there are many Americans like me, pissed off at this bullshit. The whole thing is fucked. I go to protests, make an impact locally. This country is rotting from the head down, so take that as you will.
