- Comment on I'll take 4 and 8 10 hours ago:
Maybe just a little now my friend, even super discounted, you could find 5 cars that would net you over 100 million.
- Comment on I'll take 4 and 8 15 hours ago:
You’re seriously underestimating the potential value of 7.
The most expensive car ever sold was a 1955 Mercedes Benz coming in at around $140 million.
- Comment on Netflix's $82.7 billion deal to buy Warner has been dramatically gazumped by Paramount, to the tune of $111 billion 15 hours ago:
I kinda feel like having it all fall apart might be the best case scenario for everyone.
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 1 day ago:
Back in the late 90s, I have no idea how you’d pitch that any other way. It’s a miracle that movie got made.
- Comment on Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address 1 day ago:
Thousands of Onlyfans girls crying out in terror. Hopefully there’s an opt out, but I don’t see how that would make sense for Amazon.
Someone is going to make some money with a packaging forwarding business catering to that market.
- Comment on Cows are magnetic and it's about time we accepted that 1 day ago:
So, you can actually use cows as a compass to a point.
Cows pretty consistently tend to align themselves on a north-south axis when resting. I don’t believe anyone has ever figured out why.
- Comment on We All Know This Guy 1 day ago:
I looked him up a bit, not enough out there about his early life for me to definitively say it was his birth name, but looks like it’s likely at least his real legal name at the moment.
Nominative Determinism strikes again.
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 1 day ago:
Ghost sharks, they could have been anywhere when they were alive.
- Comment on Beast Mode 3 days ago:
Mr Beast chooses to do his charity through the medium of sociopathic reality tv games.
It is weird when you notice that every game he sets up eventually boils down to either ‘Betray your friends’ or ‘Sacrifice your dignity’.
- Comment on HAIL HYDRA! 4 days ago:
I’m speaking from experience, im that guy who said you might have to get out every root. Maybe we were special or maybe it was just the right environment but I started finding it in random patches coming up all over my old back yard. We tried digging it out, burning it, someone suggested tar, but nothing ever quite got ours.
I’m in a new house now, but never again for me.
- Comment on We're just scanning for the bear... 5 days ago:
Was going to say nearly the same. We’re conditioned to always fabricate a guise of confidence and the body language you give off ‘scanning the periphery’ comes off as the opposite of that.
- Comment on HAIL HYDRA! 5 days ago:
If you haven’t had bamboo before, can also spread unpredictably and it’s more difficult to get rid of than you expect. The varieties that tend to grow smaller are worse.
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 1 week ago:
Back around… 2020 or so we had a release of files that were basically ‘There are some weird flying things and we have no clue what they were’. After that we had that some coverage a few years back confirming that all of that led to ‘No definite evidence of aliens’ but I feel like I remember just last year we had a congressional hearing with some guy who worked for the DoD saying Aliens did exist and we had captured some of those UAPs. However, then again… I do think said guy who was most vocal on those hearings had a book he was trying real hard to sell.
Who wants to take the bet that Trump is going to take a financial interest in some guy selling books on this and prop him up as ‘the’ expert.
- Comment on Texas Republican Primary having a normal one 1 week ago:
It’s a matter of semantics. Yeah, you could stretch it, but everyone is going to look at you weird if you try to put America in the same bucket as some of the countries that are really known for this stuff.
- Comment on In hindsight why was/is america upset they elected a leader who constantly lies while making fun of politicians literally and figurativly for years that they lie there ass off? Y B Shocked? 1 week ago:
A lot of people are assuming that Americans are regretting their vote… And some are.
But, important to remember that a tremendous amount live in an entirely different media echo chamber and don’t believe anything negative about Trump and have no regrets. Everything negative we’ve seen is positioned so it seems like a good thing for them and anything bad that happens is someone else’s fault.
Also, important to remember that a lot of us have ended up in an echo chamber of our own just with a different agenda. Trust no one.
- Comment on Thursday: AMA with Karim Diané! 1 week ago:
Still a new actor with limited following and I know it could just blow through, but I wonder if we’re ready for the traffic you could see from a real AMA.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
This just makes me realize how much I want an open world star wars racing game.
- Comment on Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht? 2 weeks ago:
Garnishment percentage is calculated based on income after taxes/social security/etc.
- Comment on Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht? 2 weeks ago:
Federal law should cap that at 25% and that should be after taxes and related items are taken out. It’s also shared between all garnishments, so if you have 2 or 3 garnishments it shouldn’t exceed 25% overall. This is still a huge amount, but that should be as high as it can go in the US. Some states do have lower limits, but a 35% rate should be illegal in the US.
- Comment on meal 2 weeks ago:
If you’re telling me that’s never ended up in you ordering Doordash from like 3 places at once when you really shouldn’t have, I don’t believe you.
- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t even heard about it on Discord itself.
Anecdotal obviously, but I’m not sure it’s a big news story on corporate media sites.
- Comment on Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer Part 50: Dawn of Civilization 2 weeks ago:
Call to Power was such a weird Civilization experience overall.
They had so many ideas and they overdid every last one of them but it frequently still ended up being a real good time.
- Comment on There isn't a person on earth that doesn't look cooler with sunglasses on. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve always thought it was more about the fact that they hide our eyes generally. We mostly do stupid shit with our eyes that make us less cool, sunglasses take away one avenue we’d just use to embarrass ourselves.
- Comment on me trying to keep my sanity in a 100+ year old rental house 3 weeks ago:
I’ve purchased enough cans of spray foam that I think on average its probably down to a 70-80 year old house on average.
- Comment on Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance 3 weeks ago:
The actual chips are farmed out to TSMC, I don’t believe they’ve made any in house so I’m guessing maybe they’ve decided that they’re going to do that sometimes now? But then, even some of their CPUs are made by TSMC so I could be on a very wrong path.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Threats against the president are also illegal.
- Comment on Power through 3 weeks ago:
I’m going to start a fight with everybody.
Dr. Pepper is the best root beer.
- Comment on I sometimes worry that most of my posts from lemmy.dbzer0.com have been sorta doomeristic. Does anyone have any good Lemmy communities that would act as palate cleansers? 3 weeks ago:
No idea what else it could potentially stand for, but NWSL feels like it should be one of those acronyms I should avoid online.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 sounds like it's not getting a follow-up any time soon, but Obsidian plan to give Avowed some wacky cousins 3 weeks ago:
I couldn’t get into Avowed. There’s still a good game there definitely, but it feels like they had a committee for ‘Find things we can do differently than Skryim’ and even beyond the lack of a real open world… I personally found all their choices to be more annoying than fun.
- Comment on Steam Quietly Withdraws Under Fire MMO Ashes of Creation From Sale As Fans Wonder Who's Left to Maintain the Servers 3 weeks ago:
I always had a bad feeling about this game, it sucks that it actually panned out.
