    Okay Karen. But seriously, I do think that there should be a law that forces credit card companies to allow you to enable a global block for digital microtransactions, or add multi-factor authorization.

    My point is that this is the investing thread and I don't consider Twitter to be worth buying into at this new price. No matter what they do to make it a 'free speech' haven, the vast majority posters will remain underutilized tech and media industry workers who sit in front of a computer all...

    Almost all 'moderation' done by social media companies is outsourced to third party contractors working for basically minimum wage, usually not even english speakers. You have no idea what you're talking about. High level policy decisions about kicking certain entities off the platform is...

    None of it changes the fact that Twitter doesn't have a business model. Letting even more misinformation and degeneracy run rampant doesn't do anything to make it profitable.

    Aren't most of these ring-wing 'nazis' in Ukraine basically anti-communist (and by consequence anti-jew) militia groups? Shouldn't the alt-right in the US and other ring-wingers around the world like these guys? But no, because they're also against putin? The political-interpretative-dance of...

    Haven't gotten Mythic in constructed in a while, but when I did, I just played Bo1 linear aggro decks and grinded a ton of games. These days I just play Historic Gruul aggro, get to plat to get the monthly rewards, and only on months where I feel like it, and I only do that because I just like...

    The LEGO thread - or how to step on bricks in the dark

    There was an incident many years ago where my ultimate collectors edition Tie Interceptor and ultimate collectors edition X-wing got smashed into a lot of pieces. I just threw them all in a box and put them under my bed. I lost the manuals in the flood in 2010. What if... what if I built a...

    Breaking Bad

    Breaking Bad isn't really even close to the best show of all time, but it is significant for having an actual climactic ending that works, unlike so many great shows that either go out with a whimper (Sopranos) or a giant fucking derp (that show with the dragons and the wolves? I forget the name.)

    I think you're making a lot of assumptions, but within 2-3 weeks I bet it's relatively easy to get a 6800 XT from the Thursday morning AMD Direct event for $649 if that changes your math.

    This is all you have to say. It applies to nearly every situation in which lots of money is being made. Don't overthink it and just go with it.

    I actually had a 6900XT in my cart from AMD direct this morning, $999 and didn't pull the trigger because I wanted a 6800 XT. But it took over an hour for them to sell out, so try the AMD direct event next Thursday morning.

    It's not like there's a shortage of oil or even a shortage of transport capacity. US oil companies just don't want to pump.

    People buy food at DQ? It doesn't even look good in the commercials. Same for Sonic. Meanwhile, every single time a Popeyes commercial comes on, I get hungry instantly. Popeyes isn't even my favorite chicken place, but their commercials make their food look great without actually making it...

    I would expect at least 6 weeks for it all to shake out, the online stores will want to do as much profit-taking as possible, but you might see some flash deals.

    PSA don't buy a 3080 12gb ever, just buy a 3080 Ti. Significantly more cores for not much more money.

    It's actually just a game theory problem. No board wants to pay their CEO below the average for a company with a similar book value, EBITDA, etc. So they all shoot above the average, thinking that will incentive better performance in the future, or reward good performance if the last few years...

    Profiting from corporate acquisitions as a key employee

    My last company had 22 vice presidents in a ~1200 person firm at one point, due to key acquisitions. That company was also a shitshow so take that for what it's worth. The best part about a VP title is that it looks great on a resume even if the company is basically defunct in 2 years.

    At least a director title (or whatever the equivalent is, principal architect, whatever) and at least a 15% raise, along with a retention bonus if she agrees to stay on for at least 18 months. If she really is a single point of failure for a key product then VP of Data Analytics or Data...
