I feel like the huge range in the upper class (106k to 461k) is too large to lump everyone into a single group. A person who earns 115k a year has a completely different lifestyle than someone who earns 250k a year. Whereas the top and bottom incomes of the middle to lower classes are likely comparable in terms of life experience.

Because there’s nothing that says they can’t. The highest position in the land also has one of the lowest requirements to run for, which is being a citizen and being over a minimum age.

Because maintaining the illusion keeps us going as normal and won’t break the simulation. /s

I went from being an avid movie theater goer to almost never going after the pandemic. The cinema experience has really gone down the drain. The only movies I watched in the cinema this year are Dune Part 2 and Oppenheimer, and only in IMAX. My criteria nowadays is it should be a movie worth watching in IMAX or Dolby and it should be a good movie at the minimum. Otherwise, I’ll just watch it at home.

That’s if you spot it before it grabs you. I imagine it’s gonna be hard to aim a shotgun or swing a machete once the snake starts constricting you.

Was it a flooded basement level? That’s a nightmare.

The cooler temps are a big relief. I’m glad the storm missed us, but a little more rain to help refill the lakes would’ve been nice.

Leftmost kid has the same expression as the kid from an older meme. Is it the same person?

Since the rotating codes work like TOTP, then the same risks exist as OTPs as long as the scalper has possession of the token for a ticket. Am I understanding this right that the scalper buys a legit ticket to extract the token, then it can be used any number of times to get in a venue? I thought their system should be able to identify a token/ticket has already been scanned after it’s first used? That’s why there are no re-entry rules at most venues.

Either way, if all ticket resales are restricted to be sold at original purchase price, this issue will resolve itself. But nooo, because TM and AXS also get a piece of the pie in the resale market.
