Anyone want to ELI5? Whats to stop trump adding 4 more of his own?
Not a huge charli fan or even hyperpop/club music fan, but I’ve been enjoying Brat. Just feels like club music that isn’t horribly derivative and boring. The production is good and the lyrics are actually somewhat interesting and meaningful.
Do you have an album you would recommend as better than Brat that’s trying to achieve the same thing?
Simon Vance is my personal favourite narrator. The Dune audiobooks have a cast of narrators/actors but I wish Simon voiced the whole books, he’s amazing. The way he intonates adds so much to the text, but doesn’t ever get annoying. His acting for the characters is great too.
He also narrated Scaramouche and I genuinely can’t tell if I liked the book or his narration of the book.
The average uplifting story is only effective on people who are mostly doing OK mentally. Those types of people might see a depressing story and wonder why anyone would ever want to consume something so dark and depressing.
Someone who is depressed will not be able to relate to a typical uplifting story, it will seem unrealistic and naive. A depressing story is meeting them on their level. They will see that someone else understands how they feel and will feel less alone. A depressing story has a chance of affecting a depressed person a giving them hope in a way a regular story does not.
That is my interpretation of the comic.
Lots of fiction collapses under examination.
Yes, over analyzing every little detail and finding flaws in logic is a great way of completely missing the point the author is trying to get across. Your analysis of this comic comes across as borderline satire. There is absolutely no need to examine the physical logic of the comic past the point of “the balloons are metaphors for stories”. There are plenty of ways to analyze and critique the comic, such as examining how well the balloons function as a metaphor, but trying to figure out the internal logic of the world is missing the point completely.
You’re fired.
My province (BC Canada) is in the process of implementing regulations that force a minimum wage, but only when the driver is “on the job”.
My first thought was that uber will just prioritize the fastest (aka most reckless) drivers. This kinda proves that point… I guess we’ll see where this all goes.
I both anticipate and fear the expansion.
Nobody would need/want to work. Societal collapse ensues as supply chains break down. Prices skyrocket, wages skyrocket.
That would be my guess.
I’m well aware of how it works.
You can dress it up in whatever language you want but when nobody is able to consistently beat the market it looks a hell of a lot like gambling.
Coincidentally I just watched the RLM review of the previous F4 attempt. A large portion of the discussion was about how F4 is just a weird IP to try and depict on the screen. Looking forward to their review of this next attempt.
Why is it depending on how you count?
Inflation exists, you’re gambling every day on whether or not your money has the same value tomorrow, or even any value at all. Like you said, this conversation can easily break down into semantics.
I don’t disagree with the general point of, “there’s no guarantee”. But I think you can make an argument that taking the safest course available to you is not gambling.
When talking about longer time frames you have to account for inflation, holding on to your money instead of investing it is a risk in itself, which makes this entire conversation about semantics.
If you’re talking about stock picking, hard disagree. Emotion has nothing to do with it whether or not it’s gambling.
If picking stocks was anything but a gamble portfolio managers wouldn’t have such a god awful track record.

This is the most tech bro thing ever.
“Lets innovate ourselves out of a problem that innovation created”
Imagine trying to invent a new class tech instead of just putting your phone down.
