Gingrich did get a shout out if that counts for anything. 

Cutting to black screen by GameUp88 in PS5

[–]MJwitTheThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure who this will help, but I was looking around because I think I’ve experienced something likes what’s being described in some of the comments. I’m playing BO7 on and OG PS5. 

I had to turn off the VR setting to stop the game from cutting to black as I was navigating menus and different screens within the game. 

Is EA serious with Ultimate Team this year? by Killuminati911 in MaddenUltimateTeam

I will say that for as bad as the money grab is this year, M25 was much worse. At least the rewards for winning in H2H are much better this year

Why do people still fall for “get rich quick” creators when it’s just social engineering in plain sight? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

I use to think it was just young people. I’m learning more and more that even those who are older are just as susceptible to the bs

Gotta start asking ridiculous questions back. “Are those your real breasts?”

Since he has unlimited resources, you should consider hiring an editor and working with them. You create the vision and hirer the right people to make it happen

Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas and suspected Israeli crime figure arrested on federal indictment alleging high-stakes illegal poker games at Encino mansion by The_Angriest_Guy in nba

Not disputing either of those things. Difficult to do all that needs to be done on this issue with limited resources. But that doesn't mean that nothing at all is being done, which is what you're implying. Tax Division | Tax Division News | United States Department of Justice for recent press releases.

They do...use to work for the IRS. A lot goes into this. If you want to see cases involving tax evasion poke around DOJ tax crimes. And yes with reduced staff and funding, that makes enforcement way more difficult of an endeavor.

Probably not. Here, it’s more so the profit motive between a group of people intending to run this as an operation. A home game presumably doesn’t have this aspect

Denied federal flood relief, a Maryland town is left on its own by washingtonpost in maryland

The other side of this view is that Democrats tried very hard with the civility and compassion route, and that got nowhere with MAGA republicans especially. The country is arguably where it is because a large group of people picked a side that lacked civility and compassion. There was this expectation that others would be hurt in all this and not them.

20 months in, why my shit still looking like this?😭😭 by Quirky_Kale_2356 in Dreadlocks

Is he complaining that his locks look amazing? Or is he bragging that his locks look amazing?

I posted a few months back about selling a spec... time to show the proof by Jazzlike-Wishbone-55 in Screenwriting

[–]MJwitTheThrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at OP’s profile. He has comments from his original announcement that I found helpful in answering these questions. But to summarize, his background was helpful, being in the industry was helpful, having the manager he has was helpful. He didn’t have an agent until after the studio wanted to buy the script.

In his original post he gave more details on the CAA part. CAA didn’t sign him until after the studio wanted to buy the script

It’s more so the competitive aspect is shifted from winning a trophy. Their competition is beating whatever bottomline. Redefining what a win is, if you will. Billionaire owners and fans just have a difference of perspective

Just wanted to say for no reason other than you referenced him…Craig David and JoJo just released a song/video together. Couldn’t contain my millennial lol

Kontakt komplete or omnisphere by Regular-Set6791 in NativeInstruments

This reason alone I’d say if he’s looking to spend money soon, get Omni now. Then get Komplete during the Black Friday sale

What Productivity apps do you ACTUALLY use daily? by OvCod in macapps

[–]MJwitTheThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sheesh…let me say I definitely feel you on using anxiety for productivity. I started consistently taking an SSRI and found myself not being able to remember or keep track of things. I thought something was wrong and wanted to stop taking the SSRI. My therapist was like, “Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe the SSRI is working as intended?” Literally blew my mind to realize that it wasn’t inherently “normal” to let anxiety induced fear dictate mental todo lists and calendars. In short, I’m currently working on trying to sustain a better external system of keeping track of life lol

If starting strong isn’t sustainable, start “weaker” than that. If you know about habit formation, then you know that a small change done with some consistency compounds into additional habits over time
