This mental image popped into my head, after reading your comment. Now you get to enjoy it too, wAaHhh!

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers

Instead of the ‘Taxed Enough Already’; the left needs the ‘Tax Elites Already’ movement!

Weight loss is all about “calories burned > calories in”; so in the simplest terms, you need to find a Way of Eating (WOE) that makes a caloric deficit bearable.

For me, that was keto. I managed to drop from 120kg to 78kg over the course of a year and a half.

My suggestion is to try a bunch of different diets/ways of eating (keto, paleo, vegetarian, pescitarian, vegan, Mediterranean, carnivore, Atkins and/or intermittent fasting) and see which one clicks.

Another really important point is to track your caloric intake, at least at the start - to build up the knowledge required to make better food choices.

The last bit of advice is probably toxic, but it did work for me - so you can consider whether it’s suitable for you too: “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”

P.S. r/FatPeopleHate was one of my sources of (albeit negative) motivation; so I guess self-loathing helps too! 😅

Better yet, support the next candidate willing to primary him in the next election.

Make sure to spread the word with like-minded and/or politically disengaged friends, family and colleagues.

Given its New York State, the winner of the primary will be the winner of the general election.

Four seasons is a pretty good run for this type of show, IMO; at least if it’s as well planned and thought out as The Good Place (not to dissimilar concept) was!

I think I’m also only around ~2 seasons in, as I cancelled Prime a while back… might have to fly the black flag and catch up on S03!

The average person has less than two eyes, ears, arms, hands, legs and feet. Weird, right?

While it’s rare, they do exist. Primary example being the Porsche Taycan with its 2-speed transmission.

Additionally, any EV conversion of an ICE vehicle where the electric motor is placed in front of the drivetrain can also take advantage of a transmission.

It’s pretty common knowledge how these billionaires leverage the value of their stocks/assets as collateral against loans, in order to avoid having to pay capital gains tax.

Even though it’s not liquid cash, there really isn’t much to preclude them from taking out cash loans up to like 70-80% of their value if they ever wanted to (not that they would, as cash depreciates in value due to inflation).

So while you are correct that if they ever had to liquidate their shares the value would plummet significantly - unless something catastrophic happens and the value of those assets plunges well below an acceptable level to their financiers, it will never happen.

If you owe the bank a $100 and can’t pay it back, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100m, that’s their problem.

While I doubt they’d go as HAM as they did for the FF7 anniversary, which resulted in:

1. Advent Children
2. Before Crisis
3. Crisis Core
4. Dirge of Cerberus

…I do wonder what they mean by multiple projects?

No, rather $320 billion dollars in speculative value has simple been unrealised! 😉

Down over 50% since the all-time-high in December 2024, post-Trump election.

So that’s definitely a win!

Still needs to drop ANOTHER 90% to get back down to pre-2020 levels though…🤞🏻

Aljazeera | How Elon Musk funded his $44bn Twitter takeover

A curious read, seems he spent $27bn in cash on the transaction - so he ‘only’ has loans on ~$17bn, across a swathe of investment groups, wealth funds and banks. Basically, I don’t think a margin call is imminent.

Which is a bit of a shame, as it would be somewhat hilarious to see it fall into the hands of a bank like Chase - being such a toxic asset at this point, to know whether they’d try to salvage/pivot it (ideal, but unlikely) - or just sell it on and write off the loss.

No offence to you Canadians, but goddamn your politicians are fuuucked.

Neoliberal politics will be the doom of us all.

Yeah; we’ve got one too - primarily for when you first get out of the shower. It’s really good for drying the soles of your feet, so you don’t slip on tile - and the water evaporates very quickly.

NY Mag article review

Don’t even try to explain the numbers to conservatives, just make it clear that if it resulted in them getting more money somehow, it would be literal blood money.

One issue with this is, Conservatives don’t care about random people dying - they’ve been conditioned by right-wing media into believing those people who die deserved it, or that it’s just a deep-state conspiracy with crisis actors.

They will only ever change their stance (and even then, only temporarily) when it happens to a friend or family member.

Appealing to their better nature is a fool’s errand.

Christ, I can’t believe I’m going to have to begin a comment with these words so early in my life…

…but back in my day, the vast majority of the back of a game case was reserved to screenshots, and to describe the features and plot of a game. Not the intricacies of the T&Cs you need to agree to prior to playing!

My personal use devices are all some variation of Pingu (eg. iPingu, Pingtendo etc.), and my NAS devices are based off Pokémon puns (Storlax and Archivysaur currently).

My wife on the other hand is boring, so her’s are just system default.

…and to think that a significant (but probably not primary) reason why Trump is punishing Ukraine is because he wants to oversee a peace treaty regardless of the circumstances, all so that he can earn a Nobel Peace Prize like Obama.

Yes, the man is that shallow and vain.
