If you have the big 3 frozen, that’s more than enough

Why do most [insert country here] people use [insert brand from their country here]???

Conspicuous consumption doesn’t really hold in this case because the alternative is around the same price.

I’d also question any claim about the dating partner. Maybe a study said it has an impact, but I doubt it’s a strong impact on evaluation of a potential partner. By all means, I’d love to see the source for that

You also cite an example of what was basically a meme. Literally nobody bought that app (and iirc those who were tricked got their money back)

Really? I guess he feels his treatment is working well enough

I copy and pasted stuff that fit my headline and ignored where the article said the original author was cool with it and the fact that this literally just happened, not on initial Chinese release of the film

No you just misread it and misrepresented it on social media! What bad stuff ever came from people doing that /s

The author of the article said this? I am summarizing YOUR article lol. The movie didn’t come out in 2022, so your post title is misleading

So, to clarify… ONE Chinese company recently edited the ending, which the author (edit: author of the book) himself said more closely matches the book…

Sketchy but also not “China censors film!” Considering they basically showed all of it and slapped a title at the end to make it more like the book

Because the two sides are biased and each have their own opinions and you need a less biased 3rd party to decide?

I’ll agree with what others are saying about speculation but I’ll add a few points…

Meme investing. People just buy shit now. You can download Robinhood or any other free app and buy something you read about because you feel like it. That’s a lot different than traditional stock valuation. And in some cases (GameStop?) the public can have such force that it massively overwhelms traditional stock valuation

The other point is that businesses will still function. Will it suck to have a 20+% tariff? Yes. Will in end a massive global corporation? No. A trade war can’t kill multinationals because they have a foot in both sides, in a sense (that’s a crazy oversimplification)

Non-children listen to these podcasts?

Is streameast bad now? Haven’t used it in a while

Wait till you hear about Que Sera Sera and so many other classic tunes

Darn shame this reporting didn’t come out a few months earlier

Jeeves, why would the world be a different place if Ask Jeeves won the search engine wars?

Sometimes you can let the water run. Sometimes you just gotta let the faucet drip reeeeeeaaaallly slowly

It definitely did?

Edit: apparently only for brief periods. If you consider his first term overall, Fox did dominate

This is like the gen alpha version of “MSNBC beats out Fox as most viewed cable news network” headlines from 2017

Wait but… what do I do with all my notes?

Impressive post count??
