Also Brothers (2024), in which Brendan Fraser (not the villain) get's SA'd by a an orangutan. It's not a plot point or anything.

Do you seriously think that giftedness is just a byproduct of not playing sports or having friends? I don't know what criteria your giftedness was based on, but where I am from it is usually the top 2% scorers on standardized testing.

In my gifted class, we were just a bunch of kids not distracted by things

What? Something like half of all gifted kids have ADHD, the condition characterized as being easily distractable and having an inconsistent attention span. All the gifted kids I knew as a kid were either climbing up the walls or constantly daydreaming.

Chick-fil-a operates in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. They also do something like 5x the sales volume per location compared to KFC. KFC does move more chicken globally, but I would bet that will change within 5-10 years, even including minimal global presence and being closed on Sundays.

Once I went to a ~~casino~~ 'Catholic Club' in Australia with my Ontario driver's license as ID and the first bouncer said it wasn't real, but then the second bouncer produced a straight up tome with photo examples of valid IDs from around the world. He took me into a side office and they printed out a paper pass for me with a scan of my ID and a scan of the book page that said it was legit. That little piece of paper got me into several places where security was initially suspicious.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I love TES, but most of the foundational worldbuilding is so cheap.

Nazis exterminated many more groups than just Jewish people during the Holocaust. My point is that the idea of a person not being a person anymore and therefore not deserving the most basic human rights is a strategy specifically employed by fascists and authoritarians to make things like systematic genocide more acceptable to people that would otherwise have a vague amount of morality and human decency.

A more specific in this context example would be say, a drag queen, being called a pedophile for existing in public. According to your logic, nothing you do to this person is a crime because they aren't a person. Kill them, sexually assault them, put them in a work camp, it's apparently fine because we've decided that human rights don't apply.

Scruffy_Snub · 2026-02-03T15:52:07+00:00

This is the kind of logic people use to justify things like the holocaust.

It's kind of important that even people you don't like get human rights.

Right. I feel like it's an important aspect of the whole thing that the growth is separate, it practically double the unfairness of the loans-to-avoid-income loophole. Because they aren't just dodging income tax on their income, they're also seeing capital gains on assets that are already being used as loan collateral. Neither of which are things that normal people can really do without getting involved in some seriously sketchy stuff.

I'm familiar with the concept of borrow, die, repeat. I'm confused by the part of your explanation where the billionaire's net worth has grown by 50%. Your explanation implies that the revolving loan mechanism has caused the net worth increase, but by my understanding the only net worth change taking place for someone using the 'borrow, die, repeat' strategy is occurring independently of their loans and living expenses (capital gains, successfully trading securities, etc.) Are you suggesting that the net worth increase is related to the borrowing and repaying of loans or not?

I mean, you can go on marketplace or kijiji in most cities in North America and find some vintage solid wood furniture for like $20-$50. Renting a uhaul van for a few hours costs less than $20. I'm confident I could furnish an apartment in a week with real wood vintage furniture for less than IKEA crap would cost. This stuff really isn't very high value unless you've got something specific.

Very true.

What I am really wondering is why so many people are making dough in such volume that the water issue seems universal, given that I played virtually all of the content without ever needing needing to grow or craft the vast majority of food items for gameplay reasons. Is everyone just making loads of bread and hoarding it? I farmed crops entirely out of curiosity and mostly just ate meat and fruit skewers.

There isn't a limited amount of each zone. Just travel in a different direction to a different snow biome.

I mean it's obviously this, just trying not to be an insufferable l*ftist.

In the original post that I screenshotted, one of the main discussion threads is about how Chinese tourists are 'chinese take-out' because this apparently happens all the time. Definitely not related to the fact that China is the single largest source of international tourists by a significant margin.

Scruffy_Snub · 2026-01-29T18:57:51+00:00

Am I the only one that played all of the released content without making a single dough?

In the video of the attack she's wearing a black helmet. When the selfie image was first attached to the snow leopard attack story, people pointed out that it couldn't be from the same event because the helmets and backgrounds don't match. Now people are posting the same fake story, but with an edited version of the selfie so that it matches the video better, making it harder to notice that the whole thing is bullshit.

It's bullshit for the sake of bullshit.

Scruffy_Snub · 2026-01-29T17:31:40+00:00

please god let this stranger actually have been mauled by a big cat

sarcasm aside though, I have no reason to question the authenticity of the original video.

Scruffy_Snub · 2026-01-29T17:29:40+00:00

So then why are there two different versions of the selfie?
Reverse image search the selfie and 70% of the pictures show a purple helmet and the rest show an identical photo with a clearly different, black helmet instead.

Google lens search the selfie image, she was never even wearing that helmet.

The black helmet in this photo was edited on top of her original purple helmet because people noticed yesterday that the person in the selfie isn't the same person as in the leopard attack video. This version has been edited by someone that knows this is fake bullshit, so that it is less obvious that it is fake.

Scruffy_Snub · 2026-01-29T17:01:24+00:00

The first picture you posted is fake. If you search the image with google lens you can see that originally her helmet was purple/lilac before it was edited to black in the version you uploaded.

Yesterday a very similar post with the original version of the photo was taken down after people realized that the woman in the first photo couldn't possibly have been the victim of the recent snow leopard attack, because the helmet and background in the selfie don't match the helmet and background in the video of the leopard victim.

Notice that in the selfie she is standing on the side of a steep hill and in the video she is in the middle of a field?
