Except ConcernedApe, apparently.

I’ve bought it at least 5 times; sent it to a lot of family members.

It seems clear that during training they weight Musk’s tweets (and those of accounts he likes) more heavily than everyone else’s.

Yeah I start at the 5, clockwise.

China has a big problem with selling an identical product fifteen times through twelve different companies.

I think it’s an SEO strategy for Amazon, where they edge out any competition by being everywhere on the first page of search results. They also have the ability to game reviews by killing any products that get bad reviews and recreating them under a new brand.

If you wear a skirt, your gender disappears.

What, you’ve never written markdown?

Forget monogamy, I just need a mathematical relationship!

Monogamy? In THIS economy?

So non-monogamy is generally looked down upon because a lot of people have bad outcomes from it.

In the vast majority of these situations, the couple has decided to see other people because they are trying to avoid or alleviate the problems they are currently dealing with. If you or your spouse are not mature enough to handle one relationship, there’s no way in hell that the exponential complexity of a polyamorous relationship will work.

That being said, it sounds like you ARE one of the few people who are considering non-monogamy for the right reasons. Some of the most important things you need to do to make this successful:

• Great communication. No games, no bottling up your feelings. You need to be able to clearly express what your hopes and fears are, and then listen to those from each other person.
• Handle jealousy and loneliness. If you’re a jealous-type person, best to stop now. You need to be comfortable with your partners spending a significant amount of time together, without you. And you need to use that time doing things you want to do, not feeling left out.
• Secure in your self. Don’t base your self-worth on what your partner thinks about you. Successful non-monogamous people are not dependent on their partners as their sole source of happiness.
• Flexibility. You need to be adaptable to new situations, because a lot of things will be changing rapidly. Successful polyamorous people embrace the ever-changing nature of life rather than try to stop it.
• Be able to handle loss. All relationships end at some point. With non-monogamy, that happens far more often than with just two people. Remember that a relationship ending doesn’t invalidate the goodness it brought to your life in the past. You need to be prepared to process events like this.

One great book on non-monogamy is More Than Two. I highly recommend everybody giving it a read before moving forward.

Having a polyamorous relationship can be very fulfilling! If you can navigate the complexity, it’s a wonderful way to maximize life.

He’s just trying to win some more bread for Europe. Eventually everything will be fully subsidized by fines on American companies.

Not only that, but the art is strangely copy pasted between panels, and has no consistent style between elements. I suspect each bit was independently found (or AI generated), and then the creator used Photoshop or the like to compose it together.

I think we all know the answer is zero. No way Trump can run.

Because bean memes are no longer on the menu :(

Right, what I’m pushing back against are the people in this thread who are implying it’s impossible to find time to both buy food and sleep, not people like you who are saying “I’d rather trade my money to buy additional time for leisure”, which is perfectly reasonable.

I do have kids and two jobs. I’m not sure what your point is. Half the time I use grocery store runs as way to talk to my kids in an environment where they’re not distracted by technology.

If you don’t have an hour to buy food a couple times a week, there’s something supremely fucked up about your priorities.

How can you not have time to buy groceries? It’s not that big of a process.

I understand not having a car though. Some places are not very walkable.

Makes sense. AAA games are finance projects more than creative projects. Yeah there’s a lot of art and writing and stuff, but it’s all calibrated to make the most money and anything that threatens it is jettisoned. This makes them formulaic to a fault.

Indie games are passion projects, so you see a lot of weird stuff out there. Most of them are utter failures, financially, but the ones that survive are truly something special.

No, but Bob, the Baby Serial Killer does.
