You have an old favorite team-up of Germany and Japan?

I’ve got some bad news for you…

Yeah, I’m probably being too optimistic.

That might be their outlook on “local” pollution for a while, but you don’t think going from 20 years left to centuries to live might affect their opinions on global climate change?

To me it looks like the green from the iris bleeding in due to low resolution, not yellow.

Might be the only way to get them to give a shit about the environment.

I wonder how much more it would cost to just donate or throw away your printer every time it runs out of ink and buy a new one. Printers are sold at a major loss to lock you into their ink. It might be worth the expense to know your costing these pricks money.

The large U.S. carriers have plans that are, I think, $20-30 a month and you get the newest phone as soon as it comes out, apple or Samsung. They also partner with manufacturers for discounts and trade-in deals, especially when a new model comes out. My last phone was 2 years old but when they offered me the newest one for something like $120 after trade-in (I think that was almost $1100 off, I don’t remember all the details) I upgraded everyone on my plan. I think they did the same thing this year but even with those discounts the pain in the ass of upgrading plus the price, even though it’s low, wasn’t worth the small year over year change. Probably next year or the year after. Assuming similar deals, that makes it $40-$60 a year to get a new phone every 2-3 years.

Edit: You do have to stay with the carrier though. If you leave in less than 24 months you have to pay back a prorated part of the discount. Or at least the part that comes from the carrier, I think you keep the enhanced trade-in from the manufacturer.

I wonder what John Oliver is going to buy?

I thought about that. Apparently the short interest was so high they were charging shorts crazy interest rates to borrow it. You’d have to bet on a huge drop in a very short amount of time. I can’t be bothered to look it up but I think it was something crazy like 40-50x a normal rate. One of the only reasons to hold was to charge short sellers interest, for a sane person anyway.

The 52-week high is just under $80. That would be intra-day though, maybe it never closed above $65.

He didn’t fuck with anything. For them it was money well spent. Think of all the things that used to be coordinated and all the information shared on Twitter. That’s gone, or at least seriously degraded, that’s what they bought.

He’s hated. But in a way that makes you want to see more of him.

Shit, I don’t even think it has to be subtle. People emigrate all the time for a variety of reasons. And most of them are much less compelling than “I’m surrounded by people who might decide to murder my entire family any day.”

They have no responsibility to stick it out and take the risk just because other people, including myself, don’t want to see the settlers win.

I assume that’s a gif because I remember that line and it’s a perfectly hilarious response, but I just see a pic.

Gifs don’t seem to work for me. Is that a problem with Jerboa?

Yeah, insta-fail is just lazy design. Becoming undetected again is fun.

A person would only drop a couple points over time. 80s, and especially 70s, would be significantly impaired.

Believe this hype; You can make a difference.

I lived in Florida in 2000. If I had recruited a couple friends, and I knew people who would have been down, and we drove vans back and forth to the polls all day…

Ban or severely restrict abortion.

Ban or severely restrict porn.

Ban or severely restrict contraception.

Ban or severely restrict divorce.

When do we start hearing them question the concept of marital rape? That shit was legal in every U.S. state until the 70s and not made illegal nationwide until '93.

Is this lawsuit just about having the choice to use an ESG fund?

The article even mentions that people who aren’t invested in an ESG fund are included in the class action with those who are.

Here is a link to AA’s 401k page. Scroll down to “What are my investment options.” It looks pretty standard. Options for index funds, self-directed where you can invest in any Fidelity funds, target date funds, and other options.

What kind of a bullshit lawsuit seeks to reduce personal options that don’t affect anyone else. Or am I missing something and could one person’s selection somehow harm others?

Edit: I read a little more about the lawsuit. I’m not 100% sure about this, but it seems like the complaint is; the people managing the funds use the voting rights from everyone invested to vote for ESG goals. E.G. if you’re invested in an index fund the people managing the funds can use the voting rights of your shares to influence the companies in ways the lawsuit claims violate fiduciary responsibility.
