"Free for all". Yes. The outdoors is free.

Seems like support for everything is at historic lows. Has anyone done any polling on guillotines? Might be at highs.

If people didn't previously realize that shortened settlement, MIFID 2, and the unbundling of research are responsible for the ills that befall us and instead want to look the other way, they can't be helped.

Sometimes restaurants offer things like free salsa/chips if you order directly. Never get that through DoorDash.

I'm not a dick and not daft. I know how to read an earnings report and determine where, when, and how public companies derive their revenue. People assuming I'm naive and some simpleton for not agreeing to scold people for playing a free, harmless online game then calling me names is absurd.

Keep being a scold. A fact free one at that. No subscription means they lose money on it.

If the NYT only had ad revenue from wordle and no subscribers or other page views, there is no opinion section. Oliver is just wrong to pretend otherwise. I point that out and you insult me. A stranger on the Internet. Yes, fuck off.

The NYT will be out of business very quickly if nobody subscribes to anything. Sites serving click through ads with no paywall revenue are all out of business.

I'm responsible for my actions and feel no guilt for playing wordle. People trying to claim I'm somehow responsible for Trump and shame me for playing a game on my morning train commute are obnoxious scolds.

Sites serving ads without pay walls, including major sites, have all gone out of business. The NYT's earnings are public, including breakdowns in revenue. Wordle is intended to entice people to subscribe to Games and the paper. Serving me a 5 second ad I click through pays for nothing.

Lolol. Sure. They show a 5 second ad I click through. Clearly I'm responsible for Trump and the media enshittification.

Would a description of a "toadstool" like penis count as PII?

I was helping a friend clean up the Amnesty International table at Lalopalooza in 1994. We were carrying chairs back to her car, and pushed the elevator button. The elevator doors open,and inside is George Clinton and a whole bunch of P-Funk All Stars. George stepped back so we could get on.

It's amazing. Overwhelming majority of people keep going to work, bills set on auto pay, maybe a little more credit card/HELOC debt from time to time, maybe a slightly less fancy vacay next year as a result. Income and consumption smoothing counteracts lots of disastrous policies.

I'm pretty sure he's an illegal alien as well. I'd love to see masked ICE agents try to take him into custody.

You may not like Cuomo on a whole host of issues (I probably agree), but are climate related issues really something where he was bad? NY was a leader in this area with him as governor.

The US constitution is broken. Currently senators from "low density states", i.e. places with already disproportionate power in the Senate, are working to exempt their constituents from Medicaid cuts. Screw the places where lots of people choose to live and the people living there.

Lol. You think Gen X is media literate and can teach this to their kids if they wanted to?

If only we had some tool that brought the sage wisdom of meme stock and 0DTE options trading with political events we'd be able to figure out how the world really works. As an unrelated aside, a 24 year old former coworker just quit cause he's making so much money market making on these sites.

It's a nice place. But the ~50k people who live there should not have the same political power as Queens just because both are "counties". Wyoming looks beautiful. I'm sure it's a great place for some. But more people live in California and the people should have power, not the land.
