Lol if I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard about the next CoD killer

I just checked in Android and it’s surprisingly #8. Friggin threads is #3 which is shocking cause I never hear or see anything about it. X is at #25 just behind mcdonalds lol. I’m not smart enough to know exactly what that means tho because pretty much everyone already has X/Twitter/whatever the fuck it’s called so of course that wouldn’t show up super high on there. I’ve also had multiple phones with it preloaded onto the OS.

Of course instagram and tik tok and Snapchat and Whatsapp are all pretty high up there so maybe it’s pretty solid evidence of that dumpster fire actually burning.

Oh don’t worry! That’s what the checks and balances is for. There will always be a check to the executive branch. Sure the executive branch is Republican but the Senate won’t be-… Well wait okay it is but at least the house-… Well alright they’ll have the executive branch, the house, and the Senate, but the judicial branch is still going to be able to-… Well at the very least two of them are about to retire and will be replaced with ppl hand picked by president so th-…

Well at least the ice cream machines at McDonald’s can be fixed independently now… That’s something right?

I’m also legitimately convinced that the average American person is just an asshole and likes other assholes. Trump is the most conceited, whiney, cry baby, know it all, jagoff and everybody knows it. He wears it like a medal. And people love it man. They just eat it up.

It’s just like Carlin said. The politicians come from us. Because they are us.

After a remarkably short court hearing, Elon Musk has found the presiding judge in his own case guilty of “the woke mind virus” and sentenced him to 47 years in jail. The jury watched the ruling read in Musk’s own halting and strange speech, collectively shrugged their shoulders, and went home. “Well he has all that money,” said Anne Sodding, one of the jurors on the case. “He must be right, I guess.” Mr. Musk has declined to comment and was last seen driving his Tesla Cyber Truck the wrong way down a one way street exiting the courthouse.

I work in this space. There’s a wide variety of reasons, a company being dumb and greedy is definitely among them but typically just a tiny part of the equation. The biggest thing is certified vendors. The military/government is incredibly strict with who they’ll contract with. Which means the supply is incredibly limited on many things, which in turn means that companies will ratchet up prices a crazy amount in part to deal with the goofy standards that the government requires on their goods but also because they know the demand far outweighs the supply.

There is also the burden of time. The US government drags their feet an INSANE amount on projects. It scales with size as well. The larger the project the slower things move almost every time. It very frequently gets to a point where they need stuff done right now because they waited too long and will pay pretty much any price to do it.

There is also the fact that the military is operating with a budget chalk full of “fuck you money.” In short, money is immaterial. Half the time they don’t even look at the price, whatever it costs doesn’t matter, just get it done and get it done right.

My company marks up shit an insane amount and I know for a fact pretty much every other certified vendor is as well. I dunno about 8k% (lol) markup but honestly that doesn’t shock me. The prices I’ve seen are jaw dropping. And they pretty much never get negotiated or rejected.

This was my thought. Like I find it VERY hard to believe his set wasn’t at least somewhat vetted beforehand. I cannot imagine they’d just let a comedian go up there and have absolutely no idea what he was going to talk about. That just seems like a total dumbass move so maybe it’s possible with Trump

I feel like there’s a suicide something or other all over Japan and it makes me sad. Just off the top of my head I can think of this, the suicide forest, the sea wall on Mitsubishi Island, nijino bridge, that one train station in Tokyo… Shits depressing

I had the exact same experience a few years ago. A lender did some quick math within like 20 minutes of talking and was like “I think we could go ahead and lock you in at loan in the mid 600’s”

Lmao we could never in a million years dream of affording that. Idk wtf that dude was thinking but I can’t even begin to try and figure out how I’d be able to afford that mortgage unless it was like a 3,000 year 1.08% loan or something.

He tells it like it is. You just don’t get it. But also he’s never serious. Unless I want him to be. Then he’s serious. But usually he’s joking. Unless it’s in bad taste, then it’s just not what you think it is. Or maybe you’re a snowflake. Idk the pieces are all there, one of those things should get me out of this…

I still can’t get over the fact that he called the cybercab “individualized mass transit” lol. Wtf does that even mean. Mass transit… For an individual? So like… A car? Or a bicycle? I guess I’m just not smart enough to understand the world’s smartest human being ever.

“I hope they stop. Don’t invest. If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with investing, blackmail me with money? go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is.”

This makes no logical sense lol. OP says he’s going to commit suicide, his comment gets upvotes, therefore his comment is sarcasm?? Right or wrong this is just an awful way to decide. How others react to something isn’t indicative of that thing’s original intent… That should be pretty obvious.

I’m not sure if some random ones are but I travel a good bit and since covid I have not seen a single Walmart open past 11pm. They are one of a TON of businesses that got rid of overnight operations for covid and never brought it back.

From the title I thought we were looking at an age of empires Luigi crossover. I’m kinda disappointed now

Honestly he’s so rich I don’t even think that’s possible. I mean the dude could lose $1 billion per year and still be a billionaire after two centuries lol.

Few things in this world would make me happier than to be totally wrong tho

Ijbol?

I mean, it’s not just going to blow up itself…

Yooo i’ll gladly take those chips and salsa and pupusas if you don’t want them…

So… Pretty much everyone then? Lol

Now I’m actually wondering what that percentage would be like.
