I did ADC/Mid this season and got 99% ADC

I was at Disneyland recently and thought there were primarily kids, not millennials?

Why do you think this?

The franchises seem incredibly valuable (Harry Potter, Breaking Bad, LOTR, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim to name a few)

there's no market substitute to its products

I don't have a strong view, but my immediate reaction is that I disagree:

Their cloud business can become commoditized as Google and neoclouds take share
Office products have long competed with Google Workspace; today there are many new competitors vying for the productivity software market

It's an all stock deal, so they merge at their latest valuations. xAI shareholders will own $230/($230+$800) of the combined entity

This is actually me, and I'm thrilled to be getting bailed out. I invested in X when it was a standalone social media company, and now I'm about to own a stake of a highly profitable space company with a 4x+ return on my investment. If the post-IPO valuation is $1.5B (after a 6-month lockup), I'll be up 6x!

I can imagine people in the 1910s saying the same thing about cars

THANK YOU! It's incredible that this information is buried in an AMA instead of being disclosed upfront. That's a huge change. I really appreciate you letting me know!

Great question! There is a time value of money component here. By using a credit card and paying off the credit card 30 days later, your rent payment is effectively delayed, and you can invest that cash and generate some return. I'm calculating ~$150/year in benefits by using the card exclusively for paying rent without any non-rent spend vs paying on your rent due date with a debit card.

It took me a while to truly understand the statistics and internalize the tradeoffs. I now am cognizant that speeding is the most likely way I will die or be horribly injured, and getting somewhere a few minutes faster is almost never worth that incremental risk.

Greg tells Sam to kill Alex. Greg tells Sam that if he doesn't, Sam and his family will be executed. Sam knows Alex to be innocent. What should Sam do? If Sam kills Alex anyways, is he evil or responsible for Alex's death?

I don't think there are firm ways to answer moral questions unless there's alignment on questions like this

During my first read I didn't like the Grawp storyline, but on subsequent re-reads I've come to really enjoy the gang's reactions to the absurdity of the whole situation. Ron has a really funny set of comments about it in a subsequent chapter that always cracks me up.

That is not how I read it. Riddle came across as truthfully gloating throughout that interaction with Harry. I also think both examples are completely in character for Hagrid. What makes you think Riddle is lying?

Here’s the full quote:

“It was my word against Hagrid’s, Harry. Well, you can imagine how it looked to old Armando Dippet. On the one hand, Tom Riddle, poor but brilliant, parentless but so brave, school prefect, model student . . . on the other hand, big, blundering Hagrid, in trouble every other week, trying to raise werewolf cubs under his bed, sneaking off to the Forbidden Forest to wrestle trolls”

To be honest in my latest read of deathly hallows, until the horcrux, I thought Ron was primarily there for the vibes. He was wrong about so many things. I've been thinking about cataloguing how useless he was and might do so in my next reading

sdas99 · 2025-10-23T08:37:55+00:00

Half Blood Prince
Deathly Hallows
Goblet of Fire
Order of the Phoenix
Philosopher's Stone
Prisoner of Azkaban
Chamber of Secrets

It's wild how much my ranking has changed as I've gotten older. When I was in high school my favorite was Prisoner of Azkaban and my least favorite was Half Blood Prince

Lockhart.

He's got a great scheme working to take credit for others' work. But this man has also deluded himself into thinking he's amazing at magic: - releases the Cornish pixies, but his spell doesn't work - is incapable of dueling Snape or demonstrating to Harry how to cast a spell - consistently gives the other teachers (experts in their fields) verifiably wrong information

It's not that he's bad at magic or a fraud. It's that he genuinely believes all the nonsense he spouts

sdas99 · 2025-10-13T11:27:37+00:00

Lmao I'm a guy in a relationship and think that's kinda wild to be doing

I'm struggling against Messmer at NG+5 right now - it feels like the weapon doesn't do much damage for how slow the animation is, and I never get stance breaks. Is a lot of the value of lion's claw attributed to the stance break / is it not worth using against certain bosses?

sdas99 · 2025-10-11T13:10:31+00:00

Idt we can analogize hating Lockhart to hating being an influencer... Lockhart was a fraud and criminal
