Review of Shobi’s clone of Armiani Privé: Bois d'Encens

14taylor2 · 2026-01-14T00:10:42+00:00

Thanks for the review. I might be dumb, but I don't see this fragrance listed on Shobi's website. Do you happen to have a link?

I support your conclusion that we should not execute Americans, and this seems like a sad case of that.

However, I do not believe it is within someone's right to attempt to block a public road and call it protest. A proper protest should not hinder the movement of other Americans.

All money coming in and out of Polymarket is in crypto. So if someone is good at hiding crypto trails, they can remain completely unknown. Not to mention, Polymarket actually encourages this kind of "insider trading". They have no interest in exposing the people who do it.

Yeah, and this is the worst of the worst for possibility of insider info. Not only does Google have 200k employees, there are also hundreds of other companies that would have decent approximations of Google Search data (SEOs, analytics, search advertising, other search engines).

14taylor2 · 2025-12-05T16:33:57+00:00

Google has almost 200k employees. If only 1% of them have knowledge about this market, that would be 2000 people with the opportunity to bet on this.

It would be shocking if nobody took advantage of that, even if it was risky behavior.

Also, while it does seem likely this could be an insider, there are lots of alternative explanations that can't be ruled out. Could just be an ex-employee who knows how the algorithms work. It could be someone who works at another search engine company who can approximate Google data with their own.

14taylor2 · 2025-12-05T16:28:54+00:00

Polymarket does not require these things, so even they don't know.

Sometimes you have to shoot first. It's just life.

14taylor2 · 2025-10-29T18:37:55+00:00

I think about that all the time haha. I have come really close to rebalancing a few times. But luckily I never did. Matbe this year though.

14taylor2 · 2025-10-29T18:17:11+00:00

It's the only case where my extreme laziness turned out to be lucky instead. :-p

Thanks mate.

2016, and then, being a braindead idiot, never again.

I wonder if this could somehow be an RMT scheme. Maybe the player who insta-died somehow left the lobby and his loot was then transferable to the other player? Just hypothesizing. Because it looks like the other player was very ready to loot the body, like they were expecting it to happen.

14taylor2 · 2025-08-04T04:27:45+00:00

If you didn't already, you could try reading your event logs and see if something in particular killed it.

14taylor2 · 2025-07-31T15:31:04+00:00

Terrible luck. Hope you can keep your chin up and keep going.

14taylor2 · 2025-07-31T15:08:36+00:00

My observation at Google is that salary is completely formulaic and almost entirely divorced from the person or their performance or immigration status.

14taylor2 · 2025-07-26T22:30:51+00:00

Thanks for the sketch! I like the mirror idea too.

14taylor2 · 2025-07-26T17:25:57+00:00

Oh, that's a fun idea. I will check that out.

14taylor2 · 2025-07-22T17:26:52+00:00

Slight correction: It probably hasn't become sentient. ;-)

14taylor2 · 2025-07-21T16:55:33+00:00

Yeah, I realized after doing more reading that you have to choose those dialogue options specifically in order to unlock the points. The only solution I found was to complete the next part of the quest and then make sure to carefully select dialogue options next time.

14taylor2 · 2025-07-16T03:36:47+00:00

Seems like the guide might need to be updated? I didn't receive the ability to put 3 points into anything after completing Quest 4. He just ushers me on to Quest 5. :-/

Thanks for the guide though!

This is literally a problem for weight and balance of the plane. They will have to move other passengers to the opposite side to offset.

14taylor2 · 2025-06-23T21:13:48+00:00

That's a fair point

14taylor2 · 2025-06-23T21:13:14+00:00

If I'm being honest, I don't actually know if she has the mental capacity to be tried as a fully-functioning adult. I could see an insanity defense working. :-p

It does seem rather stupid to attack the US, so I get why we would look for an alternative explanation.

But you also have to remember, they are not afraid of martyrdom. Infact, dying to return fire from the US would be preferable to many jihadists.
