If they're not making a profit as it is charging rich rubberneckers 250K a trip and cutting corners on their builds, I can't imagine they'll ever be able to do it.

Just some ink on a page. Would she rather be Charles and have eggs thrown at her in public?

It's a bit niche, but I like Japanese mahjong (not the tile matching thing, the actual game) and have gotten hours out of an app called Kemono Mahjong. Cheap, onetime purchase w/no micro transactions and you can play against adjustable AI offline or online with others. It has plenty of guidance for new players.

It's the same with those (Insert Theme Here): Pass it On billboards by the Foundation for a Better Life. They're funded by Phil Anschutz, a billionaire who owns the AEG entertainment group and has funded groups like the Parents Television Council, the Federalist Society (which helped get all those GOP justices on the Supreme Court and federal courts), and other conservative groups. I gag having to pass those things on the freeway.

Yes, and bus/train ads. I pass one every day on the commuter train near Angel Stadium in Anaheim.

We're learning that lesson in spades now with all the shriekers and Bible thumpers trying to stack school boards, ban books and curriculums.

The loss of users is already beginning to show, depending on the community. I had some LifeProTips and other useful threads saved and was trying to archive them for myself yesterday, and several had either the original post or the highest-upvoted parent comment outright deleted.

There did seem to be a distinct air of smugness/"I told you so" in quite a few of the blackout or future-related comment sections I was in. Whether they're shills or just being cynical/butthurt for losing out on two days worth of Internet points and argument time, I have no idea.

Never played it, but a few people in the CCG crowd at my high school did for a bit. I remember it being a little too complicated for me at the time and just stuck to MTG or Netrunner.

That's great and all, but presupposes that whoever’s on the other end of that panic button will actually respond and do so effectively or in time. Uvalde and Parkland both had cops make it on site in a reasonable amount of time, but they were basically useless in both cases.

I can see the ads on Fox or OANN now.

"MAGA Mush! Quality gruel for quality patriots! Available at your local Cabela's now!"

At least I'm assuming they haven't canceled Cabela's like Bass Pro yet.

It's funny, I used to be on BestofRedditorUpdates where almost any "good" story that got reposted was subject to arguments about whether it actually happened or if the OP made it up. Now with ChatGPT it can all be made up. /s
