@ejenkins54 My office job had a walking contest and multiple people claimed to have averaged 30k/day… in each of my marathons I only hit around 45k it just feels like there’s no way
This is what violence rates look like depending on Political party
How fucking weird am I rite?
When you get rid of fringe wackos and count crime by party control it looks a lot different
Gutfeld: “We don’t need more info. Why is this only happening on the left?”
@JessicaTarlov: “What about Melissa Hortman?”
Gutfeld: “I never heard of her til she died.”
Tarlov: “Does it matter?”
Gutfeld: “Don’t play that bullshit.”
this dude swiped right 2 million times & got one date. he’s not just some unlucky guy, he is the norm.. like imagine the money he spent over five years, probably a small fortune. this is obvious but what’s actually nonobvious is that his behavior unlocked an entirely new revenue stream for apps. let me explain.
most people don’t realize that one of the biggest revenue unlocks in dating apps was when they figured out how to subtly turn women from users into paying customers. by leveraging guys like this who flood the system with likes (these dudes were already heavy paid users, thus monetized).
when women get bombarded with likes, flattery, attention, it triggers this shopping mentality, men become products, & women become discerning consumers. women’s standards shoot through the roof. apps capitalize on this by introducing premium filters (like height, etc.) to help women weed out most dudes. features like sending roses or boosting profiles fit perfectly into this dynamic.
over time, women start believing that paying will show them the top 2% of men, the most desirable. so they start subscribing too, convinced that a premium membership means premium matches. it’s like shopping at aritizia vs zara, more expensive means more perceived quality.
this is how dating apps monetized both sides at scale, men desperately trying to be seen, & women paying not to see them. it’s a zero marginal cost product that doubled revenue just by making chaos profitable. pretty incredible if you think about it.
i wrote a quick post on this below.
Can we not outfit 1.43:1 aspect ratio screens into smaller/more theaters?? I feel like viewing experiences you cannot get after a theatrical run is exactly what theaters need right now
Serious question: what happens if ICE agents do this and someone shoots them? No badges, no IDs, just grabbing someone? I mean, if anyone survives the shootout?
The Ghibli art style is plain, uninspired, and the actual reasons people love it is because of the quality of stories the style has been attached to, and the fluidity and details of the animations it appears in, not the style itself.
I get that it has an innocent charm to it (hence the fun in depicting controversial images in it), but that does not make the style itself anything special when separated from those stories it’s been used in and the quality of animation.
A 33 year-old Trump supporter, Rick Fuze of Berkeley, was arrested for trying to taze protesters at a Tesla dealership in California.
Tell me again who the "violent domestic terrorists" are again, MAGA?
PRESSURE: I can only begin to fathom the weight he carries at this moment. Not merely a nation, but the world itself looks to him in expectation. The burden must be immense—almost unimaginable. https://t.co/WXkiXy53FQ
