The Trumps pocketed $28 million from it directly, and I think it’s the most Amazon has ever paid to acquire a single movie/documentary ($40 mil to make it and $34 mil or so to market).
I mean they’d totally do that because of how popular this administration is and how much everyone loves Melania and wants to learn about her right? /s Totally not to curry favour and get tax breaks or deals with the government.
Yeah, I saw someone on a YT comment section (yes I know) citing “Google” as a source to back himself up. I was like, dude you have to read the link and that’s the real source.
What’s wrong with you? The CEO needs that money to fly on the company’s private jet! /s
Of course the company claims it’s for security reasons. I think the $90 million per year compensation must also be for security concerns following that logic.
I mean, they took the gun away first and then shot him.
Their lies are so bad.
Joke Rogan said that all of the Minnesota protests were fabricated somehow. As in they weren’t grassroots or anything. Implying his stupid fucking IQ monkey brain piece of shit fucking non-functioning beta brained thought that this was a conspiracy and that justifies ice as well. Not to mention his take that they brought in immigrants to affect the voting population. Stupid fuck is basically Rush Limbaugh.
I wanted to be a game developer for as long as I could remember. I remember passing out on the carpet floor because I needed a quick nap inbetween coding sessions when I was 15.
I went through uni for comp sci and graduated and got a few offers. All the gaming companies (some really big names) I got offers with paid half as much as the others. I decided my dream wasn’t worth it, it’s weird.
Stock’s only down 7% in the past five days. Still’s got a long way to go to reflect reality.
Childish as I expected.
Which is itself hyperbole. While the GOP lie more often (and a LOT more blatantly), the difference in frequency isn’t anywhere near as big as it’s commonly believed to be by most non-fascists.
I remember this old nugget: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/
To be clear, this is unfalsifiable we have no idea how many “is commonly believed to be” by non-fascists.
There’s nothing immature about registering my disapproval of lazy and illogical nitpicking used to distract from valid and important points.
It’s not nitpicking, there’s a context in which you’re using hyperbole and the direct obvious comparison to be made is the GOP whom are in charge and have power and lie constantly and more often. In using hyperbole, you’re diminishing the lies by the GOP either intentionally or not.
In terms of distracting from valid points. I would say you’re doing that by attacking the minority party by letting the majority GOP keep going with ICE and their overseas wars.
Why didn’t you change it? It’s not a news article.
it was close enough to the point
GOP lie so much more than the Dems it’s absolutely unreal
even if it wasn’t […] thematically accurate hyperbole
… k
thanks for the downvote by the way shows your maturity
Agreed. Both of the parties are gaslighting the public and the Republicans are MUCH better at it than the DNC are.
okay …
<looks at post>
The Democrats are the undisputed masters of gaslighting
hmm …
Wait, co-op RPG? Split-Screen Co-op?
I’ll buy it!
I mean, I’ll need to find a friend but I’ll think about that later.
I actually agree with you. My twin nephews are high functioning though. However, their outbursts, communication skills and stuff are just quite delayed. Their math is absolutely amazing though. When they were around 6 they knew their times table up to 13. I taught them quite a lot myself with long division, fractions, 2D-3D formulas of shapes and a few formulas I thought were fun like the sum of natural numbers. All by 8.
The bathroom thing is hilarious because the eldest learned later than the youngest but the youngest just doesn’t understand he needs to go until it’s an ABSOLUTE EMERGENCY. lol, so many close calls and umm … “accidents”. I also had to teach their parents that they shouldn’t give them a full glass of water every night because they seem to consistently wet the bed.
I hate judging parents, so what you’re hearing is a total outburst of 3-5 years of living with them and just getting so exhausted – like I’m a single guy living in London and every week would be something new to me. I literally put so much time and money because I saw the parents not putting the required effort for these types of kids …
(sorry more ranting …)
They both love watching K-Dramas (as they should). However, they would watch it till like 2-3am on a Friday. Weekends they would sleep in until 2-3pm. They used to keep the kids up until 1am-2am because “they” were up. After I got there, they finally put the kids to sleep at a reasonable hour like 9pm. However, on Saturday morning the kids would be up at 7am and they would just sleep in. My brother would wake up fix the kids some breakfast and then hand the kids an iPad and then go back to sleep himself. Bear in mind he doesn’t wake up until afternoon, so the kids would have an iPad for 6 hours or so before the day started for them. There’s a lot more where the mum was working or gaming in her room all day (my own mum and me would be taking care of the kids) … she would leave the room to say “goodnight” to the kids and then she would go back to her room. My brother would do the same. I don’t mean to demean their jobs but I don’t think any job requires you to stay at your computer THAT long and I’m a programmer.
Also my brother wouldn’t buy the kids “books” because they don’t know how to read yet. They didn’t understand the concept of reading to your kids until I did it and they felt embarrassed.
Honestly, parenting really isn’t easy. I feel as though it was simpler in my parents generation because it feels like every parent needs to monitor their kids far more now. Also, if it was easy, I wouldn’t be helping this much to get them out. I still love them all (even the parents I’m trashing) and I wouldn’t have traded this experience for anything. Seeing the kids learn and pick up things and the bond they have with me is priceless.
There’s something really odd about commanding someone to be happy rather than trying to figure out why they aren’t happy.
I’m the opposite … I put my request in first and then do my pleasantries:
“could you look into this for me?”
“btw good morning”

Honestly, thanks. I never heard my brother say that although I know he is appreciative … but like, I’ve never heard it. So thank you.
[Long rant]
My brother has two twin autistic boys.
I came back from the UK to Canada a few times in the past to see family and when I spent time with them … I came really close to getting them to talk back to me. My brother would always come home later and then say: “gooo gooo gaga”. I was like, “what the hell are you doing? I’m almost able to get them to repeat what I say”. He was like, “oh it’s fine, they’ll pick it up”
Years passed. I came back to move in with my brother and when the kids were 4, almost 5. Guess what? They’re not toilet trained and they have speech issues. They can say colours, numbers, and shapes and can sometimes repeat things but they have no concept of sentences and stuff. My mother’s helping them take care of the kids but she’s addicted to her phone and speaks mainly in Chinese and didn’t really understand the purpose of getting the kids to learn incrementally. Their actual mother and father just keep saying “they’ll pick it up”. My brother actually said: “oh, it’s okay, you know why I’m not worried. Grade 1 teachers can still change them”. Their mother was like: “they’re autistic! I’ll change them as long as they need!”
The fury it sent through me while I was there was insane. I’m not a parent but while I was living there, I got them connected with my behavioural therapist friend and did so many speech exercises with them. I remember specifically knowing they loved to be picked up. Every time I picked them up, I said “up” and worked all their phrases from there. It was one of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Especially when their parents come home and my mother would just undo a lot of my progress because they would just do things for them instead of letting them do it themselves. Toilet training these kids was no picnic either … I had to hold one of them down onto the portable toilet thing when he was constipated to half understand the concept. Did I do anything the best way? Most certainly not. However, these two kids can talk now and they were toilet trained after a few months.
I’ve never felt so drained and so angry at my brother and his wife for being so absolutely inept.
The same songs and sound effects to some stupid reaction video.
Dear God. My friend sent me a video about some Japanese person with some cooking method or something that he recommended I should make try. The video he sent me was annoying as fuck. It was a couple screaming at each other: “OMG IS THAT THE NEW JAPANESE ____ METHOD?” “YES I THINK I’VE HEARD OF THAT” interspersed with the actual narration-free video. Had to stop it after 4-6 seconds.
I asked my friend how he could even stand watching it the video and he said his brain filters it out. I don’t know why it just repulsed me so much.
There’s also many videos with some person just playing another’s person’s video and they just point a finger upward to the actual playing video with some useless look on their face and the nodding.
I think this is the nature of these TikTok videos but I’m not really on TikTok much, I just get them sent to me every once in a while.
I like my frame because it faces a set of windows and with all my other tvs … I would have to close the blinds to see the tv in the day time.
However, the software is straight garbage. I didn’t even know about the favourite thing … every time I change source it would spend like a minute or two trying to figure out if it could connect to it for no reason.
