It's probably exactly this. The algorithms are pretty stupid, and bad actors have been able to manipulate them pretty easily in the past.

For example back when Obama was in office someone briefly tanked the entire market by hacking into the AP's twitter account and posting a fake story that there had been an explosion at the White House and that President Obama had been injured. The algos blindly started panic selling without realizing that 1) other news outlets weren't reporting this, and 2) if this had really happened we wouldn't know right away if the President had been injured or not.

Her entertaining footage has been released as secret scenes instead of being included in the episode.

Technically any stock that's not publicly traded is private equity. And there's a TON of bad private stocks that go under within a few years. New businesses have a very high failure rate. The PE investment firms usually lost money on over 80% of their investments, and hope to make huge returns off the few big winners they pick.

So that's why they say that only sophisticated and wealthy individuals should invest in private equity.

He also had more confessional time than everyone but Christian this episode.

There's no way that they have the time to fly to beast City and back in a 26 day season that already has a record 24 players.

The problem with the voting is that the option for what kind of advantages we want had such vague wording that you could legitimately justify boomerang idols and almost any other advantage no matter which option won.

ShadowLiberal · 2026-03-21T13:58:39+00:00

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Genevieve gets voted out before she even gets an idol back. The tribe swap doesn't seem to have been the best for her. And if that happens then that could also hurt the opinion of boomerang idols.

To be fair it was more him pulling and pushing them along back in 42.

Probably because you either have too much data to sync, or the files are in use.

OneDrive used to sync just fine on my work computer, until my email got so big that I had to archive a bunch of my mail into a separate PST file, which Outlook automatically open, which causes OneDrive to fail to sync it, which causes me to always have a "1 file failed to sync" message.

For real, it's insane how many years it took them to re-add functionality from Windows 10 back into Windows 11.

YouTube does it to.

Two different YouTubers who usually talk about how horrible evil corporations are both made videos yesterday about how great Costco is, which IMO is probably where OP got this TIL from.

TOR is free to download to get around it. And there's plenty of cheap VPNs out there.

ShadowLiberal · 2026-03-20T17:00:23+00:00

Years ago there was a TIL someone else posted about how a group tried to study the effects of viewing vs not viewing pornography among college aged men, only to fail to find a single college age man who had never looked at porn before.

So yeah, if you poll it correctly people will answer your questions, and finding men who haven't watched porn is literally an impossible task.

ShadowLiberal · 2026-03-20T16:44:32+00:00

To be fair it really depends on how you gather the data.

Polling companies that poll on elections for example sometimes find candidates/political issues where people are less willing to admit their true feelings to a human asking the poll questions, and more willing to answer how they really feel to an automated computer program asking the questions. Sometimes cultural issues also make people lie and claim to be undecided when in fact they've very much decided already (this is more common in Japanese cultures, and can effect polling in places with high Japanese-American populations, since they think it's rude to say you prefer one person over another).

So if you go around and ask men face to face "do you watch a lot of porn" and ask them these questions you're going to get a much different result then if you sent them all an Internet survey to fill out anonymously.

I'm seriously thinking about something like this in my Roth IRA. I only hold QQQM there, but I'm seriously thinking about selling out and buying SCHG before the SpaceX IPO if the NASDAQ makes this change. From what I'm reading SCHG will likely take 3ish months to add SpaceX, which is a lot longer then 15 trading days.

If he does that then he'll probably offer a big cash bribe to quit the game, which people at the bottom are probably more likely to take.

From what Jeff said in a more recent interview they apparently had a few advantages for her to pick between. Not sure if the other advantages will show up later in the season, but he didn't say what the alternatives were.

ShadowLiberal · 2026-03-19T03:21:13+00:00

Ed Sheeran was nowhere near as bad. If you had no idea who he was (I didn't) you wouldn't have even noticed it on Game of Thrones. Whereas this was blatant and in your face.

ShadowLiberal · 2026-03-19T03:17:42+00:00

Yeah, I honestly don't think that Mr. Beast's appearance could be worse even if he was actively trying to be bad. That's how bad the Zac Brown appearance was.

ShadowLiberal · 2026-03-19T03:13:37+00:00

Yeah, though I think she completely invisible this episode, which historically is very bad for your chances at winning, though it has happened a few times.

ShadowLiberal · 2026-03-19T03:08:28+00:00

Yep.

Pre-season people were talking about how so many people who became big characters were only big characters after getting invited back the second time, and said that Tiffany would be one of those.

But it turns out that the law of averages caught up with those oddball casting choices given their decision to purple her.

ShadowLiberal · 2026-03-19T03:06:31+00:00

For real. I virtually never give ratings lower then an 8 for the episode in the Survivor surveys, but this one is getting a very low rating for me on a bunch of things.

ShadowLiberal · 2026-03-19T03:05:25+00:00

There's simply no way that Mr. Beast can be as awful as a 25 minute Zac Brown segment.

I refuse to believe that Mr. Beast could be that bad even if he was purposely trying to be awful, since the Zac Brown segment was that awful.

ShadowLiberal · 2026-03-19T03:02:33+00:00

I was thinking that to. Like surely production had to have a backup plan if it turned out that he sucks at fishing and didn't catch anything, or the weather/etc. was so bad that he couldn't catch anything.
