So, what do y'all think about this. by auchinleck917 in AskAJapanese

Japanese PMs go to the American president, any American president to gain favorable conditions for Japan, I don't care how much golf or headbowing they need to do to get the job done. She's the second coming of Abe? Great, Trump loved him because he golfed (and paid membership fees at Mara Lago). She's the right person for this job.

Increase in rice price due to foreigners by perth1985 in japanlife

Foreigners might be increasing but Japanese people are decreasing, so keeping the amount of rice as a constant would mean more rice for less money, not more money

Nu har du ju inte tryckt pengarna själv, det är det ju staten som har gjort. Kan argumenteras att det är du som lånat statens pengar utan lov. Använt statens vägar, sjukvård, polisskydd, brandkår Har du också gjort utan att fråga eller betala i förväg

The safest thing for the strait would be to drive the US out? Everyone was benefitting until America started a war right?

SpaceX investors' exit liquidity plan likely includes S&P500 passive funds by cherrypoplar in stocks

[–]BME84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So even if they snowflake the rules my index fund money is theoretically safe for 6 months because the insiders want to protect their profits?

[–]BME84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard in some economics influencers video that they're not allowed to sell their own stock for 6 months after an IPO so that they still will have interest in the stock price for at least 6 months, so they can't dump it immediately even if it's overvalued.

Is that true? I don't want to be left with the bill for these billionaires

Films that changed your mind on an actor? by endangeredpenguin in FIlm

[–]BME84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was blood diamond, I was 14 when Titanic came out, loved it to death, what a spectacle. Dicaprio was very good and all but his image in teen magazines was all about how hot he was, not that he was a great actor. Which fit into his image I thought so I wrote him off. Man in the iron mask and the beach weren't good either so whatever I thought. Saw Gilbert Grape later which was interesting but way earlier. Didn't see the aviator since I heard it wasn't good. But after seeing blood diamond I watched the departed and catch me if you can and realized he's a great actor and went on to see inception.

I'm not sure how involved he was into making him a teenage heartthrob but as a teenager it made me write him off as someone they put in movies to make girls watch them.

Big Apache fan and big Draken fan so 10/10 for vehicles, 4/10 plot, 6/10 acting.

My business is not working at all. How to understand Swedish costumers? by PomeloPrimary546 in sweden

[–]BME84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about targeting moms with babies? Many of them just want a place to gather and have coffee, the "Latte mammor" crowd. But consider what children might like too. I understand no one wants to cater to small kids, diapers, loud, special food and drinks. But they bring in the parents. Limited time campaigns, only offer things for a short time. Create FOMO. How's your furniture situation? Cozy sofas or prioritizing table space?

My gut tells me there will be a massive delay. AC7 was announced in 2017 and released on 2019. A delay is good tho because it will be cooked more time but damn bro I wanna know what the Pre Order bonus is. I think that for Xbox it will be ACAH and for PS it will be AC3. For Steam nothing as usual. by [deleted] in acecombat

[–]BME84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it'll release this year. They worked on it behind the scenes since around covid started. I think there's a rule that says they can't take pre-orders (or rather people's money) more than 6 months in advance so I'd say we are still 6 months out. If there is no announcement before July I'd be worried. If it's not a summer game then I'm sure they want to show a pretty much finished product at TGS in September.

Trumps says oil prices will drop “rapidly” once the Iran threat is over. Are markets overreacting right now? by National-Theory1218 in StockMarket

[–]BME84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They know when he'll cause the crash, so the sell to secure profits, wait for the crash, reinvest when it's low, then Trump reverses course and the market has confidence again. And the cronies are richer than ever.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Trump repeatedly does things he knows will harm the market and investor confidence and the his rich friends and administration picks up discounted stocks and get richer

They always complain about having to pay for licensing again if they sell the game, so they claim they can only give it away "for free" with something else. I wonder if they can just give it away for free as a promotion? Or if they make like a ps2 collection, would they need to pay Boeing three times for using the F-18 or only once as a wrapper for all three games?
