My understanding is that it’s the original comment’s retweet/reply ratio. At least it used to be.

That thing is cursed and is going to eat you while you sleep.

You see the expected value fallacy thing pop up in real life when the lottery hits big digits. “Did you hear? The jackpot is over $1 billion! Let’s go buy tickets.”

Let’s be real, after $100 million, or honestly even $10 million, increasing the jackpot doesn’t change how much effect that money has on your life very much. At that point, likelihood is a lot more important.

But every time the jackpot peaks, it’s like all of these intelligent, thoughtful people around me lose their ability for rational thought. Why would you buy a lottery ticket now, but not when the jackpot was $500 million a month ago?

maybe put it on your list and forget about it for a few months

That’s my specialty!

Tokyo has more people than LA? That’s surprising.

Makes it, tbh

Famous author, Dr. Hibbert?

Pretty much every anime I like is like that. Interesting story, fresh take, strong art direction, just ignore that one bit where this character is a huge pervert.

Like, Overlord is one of the least sexual plots ever. Completely unnecessary to drive the plot forward. But of course some of the characters are obsessed with getting that skeleton dick.

“Hey, if you get a tattoo of our company logo, you get an interview!”

“Hell yeah, sign me up! I could use the settlement money from the lawsuit to tide me over until I can land a job.”

People always tell me I need to keep my phone up to date, but every time I update I regret it. Did so yesterday and they turned a bunch of AI bullshit back on. I’m so tired.

They also changed the way everything looks and I can’t revert it. Took me 40 minutes to change the clock on my lock screen from dark grey back to white.

Twice

They’re always like this. Another one for the blocklist.

I literally can’t remember the last time I saw Fox News in public. It’s probably region dependent.

Great games, by the way.

One could argue that most people don’t eat the ice, so if it melted they might have another sip or two before ordering another. Could possibly make the difference of a drink or two over the night.

For many years I struggled to get my coworkers to understand that a raise smaller than inflation was not a raise. Every person I worked with would defend the company when they underpaid or overworked us. The argument would usually be along the lines of “You can’t blame them, it makes financial sense for a business to do that.” Of course I can blame them for exploiting me!

I finally found people who understood what I believed to be common sense, but I can’t organize any rage because the company I work for now actually treats its employees well.

Umm, bud, get that money out now?

Can’t. It’s a company stock plan where you can choose to buy it and have payroll deductions over a year, and at the end if the price has stayed steady or increased they give it to you at 20% under the price it was a year earlier. Since my company stock is 4x what it was a year ago that became some real money, but I think it may be tied to the bubble so I’m hoping for an october pop.

I had a similar two hour route given to me by google once. I assumed they knew what they were talking about, so I took the detour there and back for a combined four hours. Next day I had my car back and drove through, and there was totally a sidewalk I just couldn’t see it from where I was standing.

Next time I’m just jaywalking, sidewalk or not.

I really need the AI bubble to wait two months to pop so that I can get my buy-a-house seed money out of the market.

Why are his legs… backwards?
