Coolio was a part of a group called WC and the MAAD Circle. Hard to tell but it might be them.

Edit

They were also featured on a track from the same album. I’d say there’s a good chance it’s them.

Blast Corps

Not aware of a Payless comp to this. They did have a campaign where they put their cheap shoes in a luxury pop-up store and had influencers gush about the high quality products which was pretty funny.

You’d come in and slap down your penny and they would go “we can’t charge less than a penny so do you want one or two?”

There’s a famous case study where JC Penny launched a big campaign where they wouldn’t put people thought the rat race of sales and coupons and just offer the best price at all times. Almost bankrupted them. Turns out people want the rat race.

Newfoundland?

I get the impression he was never cut out to run something like Facebook. He just travels the world with his endless pot of money as a travel photographer. Dude won life.

So did someone make this with AI 🤔

See my loafers, former gophers

“I’m really looking for a guy who can self host a matrix instance”

“Why isn’t one of the most expensive to operate websites free?!”

There’s a reason there are zero actual competitors in this space (maybe TikTok but it’s full of its own problems). Only a company as big as Google can afford to run at this scale. Feel free to add your business plan on how to make YouTube free without ads and without it shutting down in 3 months.

Good god that is a hard headline to grok. I thought it had something to do with the actual day prior to something else.

I think the intention was sentient life as having Thanos stop the film to explain the terms and conditions of his snap would’ve impacted the pacing of the film.

I felt there was a steady decline after season 1. Season 1 was near perfect then they started to stretch themselves too thin with all these C D and F plots. There were some highlights though like the coach beard episode and Amsterdam.

This will likely apply to everything but the iPhone. I don’t believe for a second we’ll have a fall come by without a new iPhone.

I was raised in peak cereal advertising. I can spout off like 10 based on mascots alone.

Love this idea. Down vote is severely lacking a why and ultimately doesn’t change anything but good reasoning can go a long way.

This might be a real unpopular opinion but I think the down vote is a broken feature. We do need some kind of vote to help the best stuff rise to the top, thus the up vote. Down vote basically says “I disagree with your opinion but I don’t have a strong enough rebuttal to engage in the discussion to explain why”. A basic agreement doesn’t usually add a lot to the conversation unless the comment itself comes with additional context, a disagreement requires some level of dialog as to explain why. It encourages this bubble hivemind instead of open discussion. Really makes me miss how popular forums were in the mid 2000s.

It doesn’t really stop spam, we have stronger mechanics for that like reporting, moderation and spambot tools. Plus posts without any engagement usually just fall off pretty quickly without reaching a wider audience.

Then you have your trolls who collect down votes. Having a vote score of 1 is way less compelling for a troll than -15.

Edit

4 down votes without discussion, we’ve just proved the point.

As I get older I’ve grown to just appreciate comfort over precision. I don’t play competitive multiplayer, in fact the only multiplayer I play is COD zombies with some buddies once a week. And we all suck anyways so we’re just having a laugh. I’d much rather just lean back in my chair with a controller.

They’re a small studio with a small budget. They probably didn’t have the skills and money. The success of the game on Steam would have given them the resources to do this.
