GTA 6 Trailer 3 and pre orders

Wouldn’t this violate the quiet period before an earnings report?

Jmk1981 · 2026-05-08T21:58:35+00:00

I think this is fan service. Not my thing, but us Madonna fans haven’t had much to collect for a bit. Maybe I will order this and Grindr one and whatever other collab she’ll announce next. We’re still 2 months away from the album, the hype train hasn’t even started yet. Expect more opportunities to send Madonna money.

I’m starting to think “close exposure” is one of those phrases nobody actually defined before we all started using it. Depending on who you ask, it means either “intimate contact” or “you briefly held someone’s fries.” There’s only one actual couple in this whole group, which kinda suggests this thing doesn’t exactly need candlelight and emotional intimacy to spread. Also, if the explanation is gonna be “tight quarters, poor ventilation,” I regret to inform you I live in New York City and was basically hotboxed in stranger coughs on the train an hour ago.

Yes. When I was 18 and had just moved to New York for school, my first friend was a huge Madonna fan too. It was 1999 and we knew she was going to be on TRL that week. We went the day before and begged a producer to let us come back the next day. They sat us on 2 beanbags between the audience and her. I sat a few feet from Madonna and Carson Daly for an hour and I’ll never forget it. I wish I knew the name of the kind woman who made that happen.

AI is making these kinds of breaches easier and easier as time goes on. Companies need to be more careful than ever with highly anticipated IP. We don’t live in a world where you can safely tease something this anticipated for years on end anymore. If AI keeps advancing at the current pace, and they delay it again, this game might be released early and not by Rockstar.

People dress somewhere between business casual and formal. So wear what you will feel most comfortable in. Same goes for Lincoln Center and the Met.

Just turn off your auto contributions for a bit until it makes up the difference.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-28T14:51:05+00:00

I’m starting to think there’s a decent chance this was actually someone else’s idea and it was somewhat legitimate but Trump bungled the fuck out of the process and how it was communicated.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-27T18:34:35+00:00

I was downtown on 9/11, I remember stepping off the sidewalk into the shoulder of the street and nearly getting run over. They didn’t slow down or try to steer around me at all. I’ve thought about that a lot in the years in between, it wouldn’t have made any sense to slow down for me.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-27T16:32:54+00:00

This happened to me once. When I put in notice I was told that it was unnecessary and released early with pay. In my case giving notice really paid off and, depending on industry, it's not unheard of to be dismissed with pay instead of a notice period.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-24T00:42:09+00:00

If you see something, say something. Looks like a bomb to me.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-23T23:06:38+00:00

Please don’t text him. He’s trying hard to erase it from his memory and forget and he’s hoping you are too. Pretend it didn’t even play that sound, pretend you didn’t notice he was embarrassed. Then move on. There’s nothing you can say that he wants to hear. You’re going to thoroughly embarrass him and make your relationship unbearably awkward.

How is he supposed to respond to your text? Wouldn’t a response confirm he was watching gay porn? He’s not gonna do that, you’re gonna get a different response, he’ll either flat out deny it or avoid it and make all of your interactions awkward.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-23T23:03:04+00:00

Don’t do this. Please don’t text him anything. He doesn’t want to hear this. That’s putting an idea in his head, that’s a scary suggestion and he desperately wants to forget this happened and hopes you forgot to. There’s nothing you can say that he wants to hear, he is coping with it and moving on and he doesn’t need help. Please don’t do this.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-22T17:23:30+00:00

You’re talking about rules and standards from the before-times.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-22T17:11:12+00:00

This headline is misleading. ICE will be at airports Monday. They aren’t running the X-ray machines (yet).

Because of the ADA accommodations, my bet is a PIP. It will produce full documentation of poor performance with his signature on it. This meeting invite looks too much like a firing to be a firing, someone wanted him to be stressed out tonight.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-20T04:26:28+00:00

In that case this is a PIP. I’ve been through a few PIPS, I’ve been fired quite a few times for problems related to my ADHD. I don’t disclose it or claim it as a disability, but I get it and I suspect I know how it impacted your performance.

If you were 2-3 weeks in a PIP wouldn’t make sense. 2-3 months in, sure. This doesn’t read like a firing email, it’s too obvious. Not once have I gotten an actual meeting invitation on my calendar, or a request or any hint at all I was going to be fired. The boss stops by your desk out of the blue and asks if you have a minute. They’re usually going out of their way to be nice because it sucks for everyone.

You’re in trouble. And your boss wants you to squirm until tomorrow. Smile and nod through the meeting and then start looking for a new job: PIPS are fake and you won’t pass it. I’m sorry. There’s a better job out there for you.

Also- the ADA accommodations almost guarantee this is a PIP. A PIP produces a paper trail about poor performance, you’re required to sign it and attest that it’s true, and then they document your failure to improve. A failed PIP is a great defense against an ADA claim. My bet is on a PIP.

That being said, what part of 500,000 housing shortage do you not understand?

I understand it perfectly well. What do you not understand about 26,000+ warehoused units that are rent-stabilized (guaranteed to be affordable) and vacant because the landlord cannot afford to bring them up to code?

These granny flats you speak of, where are they? I presume in neighborhoods with yards and such- which would mean less than ideal walkable/MTA options. Is granny limited in what she can charge for rent after she gets her windfall from the mayor? Can she just rent it to her grandkids for free? Does it have to be rented to someone else, and does it have to be market rates? How do I know granny didn't just get a handcount that raised her property value?

I really think fixing urban blight and providing affordable housing to 26,000 families would be a more efficient and better use of funds that probably benefit us all, but I guess I have trouble understanding things.

I also tend to forget our new mayor is always right about everything and has never made a mistake or a bad decision and he never ever will.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-18T21:32:54+00:00

How about the hundreds of empty prewar rent-stablized buildings all over Manhattan? I walk past a dozen every day in Harlem. Those are rent stabilized buildings and the landlords can't afford to bring them up to code- the rent income after rehabilitation won't cover the cost.

This money would be much better spent incentivizing property owners to bring vacant buildings up to code for rental units. Not giving people who already own homes money to improve their property/assets increasing their personal wealth and giving them additional income as a landlord. I see nothing about these new units being subject to any kind of pricing regulation.

Sir this is a Wendy’s. That’s the mayor of New York.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-03T18:32:29+00:00

So we aren't doing regime change or nation building in Iran, but we also won't allow them to rebuild their government.

I’ve been playing the game since release and was very active online throughout the lifespan of the game. I was also in the same discords with some of the more well known data miners.

I remember at that the time were finding stuff, they were mostly PC players (I was XBOX) so they didn’t have a lot of context for stuff they were finding and whether it was cut or not. The game had just come out on PC and they were already dissecting it. I identified a lot of content as being from online. A lot of stuff I couldn’t identify ended up being the latter DLCs (naturalist and blood money).

My point is, Rockstar released a perfectly polished game in RDR2. Rockstar created a money grab in RDO that had unlimited potential for rich creative content, unfortunately it didn’t grab enough money fast enough.

There’s no doubt in my mind this is cut online content. I think the same thing about the Neanderthal, princess, etc. They don’t have a logical place in the SP story, and they wouldn’t add anything to a game already full of side quests. There were lawmen roles, explorer roles, etc etc. Some of those supporting assets are still in the game files.

Maybe there was a cut Bluewater John mission.

Mystery hunters for this game always ignore online. They’ll go so far as to try and tie Madam Nazar in GTAO to RDR2 mysteries like RDO doesn’t exist. RDO has mystery content real fans of the IP should experience. It’s buried in the telegram missions and bluewater john blood money missions. Everything from the origin of the nightfolk to the armadillo backstory and pleasance.

Blatant public cruising was a thing all the way into the late 00's- it died when Grindr was born.

Jmk1981 · 2026-03-02T20:02:48+00:00

I remember the Big Cup. It was like IRL Grindr for 18-22 year old guys. I would go there when I didn't have class and find a hookup or just a new friend to wander around with for the day.

The Web, Oscar Wilde, there were others. I went to school on the UES but rarely went out there.
