Client was pulled over because his rental car plate didn't provide a return when a crooked cop ran the plate for no reason. Within 7 minutes, Enterprise confirmed it was valid. Cop decided he was gonna violate Rodriguez and hold my client until drug dog showed up. Dog did two laps, no hit third lap, handler motioned for the dog to respond to justify a search. Client held over two hours in handcuffs while they went through his stuff. Found nothing, of course, because dogs are wrong 75% of the time. Just got him a $25,000 payday for those 2.5 hours. Lesson learned Montgomery, Texas?!

Negrolotrous boomer girldadism has shunted an entire cohort of white male talent into the generational gooncave of cryptoscam podcasting, so that the boomers could pretend they were "providing opportunity" to third world savages and midwit mids by attempting to pass on skills and knowledge that were beyond the limits of their dubious natural talents, and then rewarding them with careers anyhow when they predictably failed to actually learn the things they weren't smart enough to learn.

The result is that civilisation-critical functions are falling apart because the people who should be performing them can't, while the talent that could have performed those roles rots unharvested in the field.

This is how we lose indoor plumbing in three generations, and watch as our descendants dance under a Moon they should have been colonizing.

You know how PepsiCo lowered the price of Lays products after RFK Jr. decided you can't use SNAP to buy them? The prices weren't high because it just costs so much to slice up and fry a potato. It was because they didn't care whether or not you could afford it because the people eating them were those getting it paid for by your tax dollars. When that was no longer a viable business model, they had to start pricing competitively again. You know, the way a free market is supposed to work.

The same logic applies to healthcare and universities. These corporations get their money from the government via people who are subsidized by the government. That's why college tuition has increased at three times the rate of inflation since the 1970s, and prescription drugs somehow cost less when you don't use insurance to pay for them (even private insurers get money from the government).

If you've ever wondered why TVs are among the only things that have gotten cheaper over the past ten years, that's why. The government doesn't buy TVs for people, so TV manufacturers actually have to care if consumers can afford them and must compete with each other on price.

So what will happen when everyone loses their jobs to AI and no one has any money? Don't worry, Big Daddy Government will give them your tax dollars. And when those run out, they'll just print money and devalue what little you still have. But as far as they're concerned, that's your problem.

By Valve's own numbers, a game usually makes ten to twenty times more money during a sale than at full price, even with the price cut in half. A few titles pull seventy to eighty times more.

The developer of each game sets its own discount and chooses whether to join the sale. Steam just runs the store and takes its usual cut, about a quarter of each sale in 2025, even less for the big sellers. So a 20 dollar game at half off brings in 10 dollars: Valve keeps roughly 3, the developer keeps 7. Both sides earn a bit less per copy, and neither one is covering the other's loss.

A lower price still wins, for two reasons. A digital copy costs almost nothing to make, so there are no unsold copies piling up in a warehouse. And a sale reaches buyers who were never going to pay full price. For a five-year-old game, almost every one of those buyers is brand new, someone who would have skipped it at full price.

The sale also solves a discovery problem. Steam has 146,012 games, and 20,018 of them launched in 2025 alone. A game older than a year barely gets noticed on its own, so joining a sale is often the only way for it to be seen.

That 90 percent in the meme is the literal ceiling. Steam caps any discount at 90 percent and blocks anything under 10 percent, and the deepest cuts go to old games that already paid for themselves years ago. The 2024 summer sale sold around 876 million dollars of games in two weeks.

Valve runs the whole operation with about 350 people and an estimated 17 billion dollars a year, close to 48 million dollars of revenue per employee. Apple makes about 2.4 million per head. It is the most efficient business in tech, and it runs on selling copies that cost nothing to make, to people whose libraries are already more than half full of games they have never played.

Remember:

People are dumb enough to believe this means sunscreen causes cancer.

They truly do not grasp that people who are more at risk of cancer are more likely to use sunscreen.

It just somehow never occurs to them! So they think there's some danger from inert substances.

John Bolton once called for Edward Snowden's execution. He even fantasized how, saying Snowden "ought to swing from a tall oak tree."

Bolton is now a convicted felon for mishandling classified information: not to inform the public but to profit off a book. Get the noose.

This music has a sense of urgency and honesty that I find lacking in so much modern music. The cat’s desire is clear—it wants food—and yet somehow that desire translates to a non-diatonic, arrhythmic melody of great charm and musicality. A star is born.

Anyone remember that Chinese Alzheimer’s surgery that unblocked the glymphatic system, draining the seed oils from the brain?

“Four months after the surgery, during a phone interview, the patient's daughter stated: "My mother's memory is stabilising and improving, and she is able to complete household chores every day.”

Banned now, of course.

I told yall it was a literacy issue and everyone wanted to rip my head off. Back in the day, rappers had vast and diverse vocabulary. They used figurative language, and literary devices. And this is not about AAVE, because that’s a dialect. the new cats are vastly illiterate.

Phil Williams. My boss’ boss at Apple. Surfer dude, feet on his desk. We guys asked each other over lunch “What does Phil do all day?”

Then Phil left.

“Oh.”

I’m sorry, Phil.
