Maybe because jeans wearers don't spam up every thread about clothing with "JUST WEAR JEANS!"

Or Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft on consoles.

At this point, I'd say an MMO is focused more on the social side, I guess. MMO is a subset of Live Service for sure, but it's distinct from the usual games in that category.

Plus more players able to be in one place. Just earlier I joined a FFXIV hunt train, with 150 players whizzing about taking down bosses for currency. Don't really get that in a bog standard Live Service game.

An MMO has a world filled with players, while the likes of Destiny typically just have a hub or menu to get to the gameplay bits.

I class market trackers as investing rather than gambling.

Sure they can still go down (and by a lot), but it tends to be big events like COVID that do that, and it soon bounced back up again.

If you're investing more than a few percent of your portfolio in any one company, you're probably gambling though. And sure, nVidia look a safe bet today, but if Sam Altman comes out tomorrow and goes "sorry guys, this ain't going anywhere" then you'll lose over half your money before you can blink.

I wouldn't invest on a timeframe of less than a few years either. It's not for boosting your rent money. It's just better than leaving your spare money in cash. If the concept of "spare money" is alien, then it's probably not for you.

No.

It's likely the site itself is now a load of dirt mounds in the vague shapes of buildings and then covered with trees.

You've got the eco friendly alternative.

What do you think people were vaping with before the disposable vapes?

So why use rechargeable batteries at all?

Or, do what a disturbing number of people have done and make them the centrepiece of your entire life.

Posters all over your house, stickers and flags all over your mobility scooter, hats, T-shirts, the lot.

  1. I don't really know who the fuck this is, apart from being some YouTuber for kids. Probably plays Fortnite.

  2. Is "discussing inappropriate topics" a crime now? I skimmed the video, but most of just looked like the usual adolescent 4chan stuff. Racist stuff in there? Sure. But we've got a presidential candidate who declared that immigrants "poison the blood" of America. A couple of memes from a flash-in-the-pan "celebrity" hardly seems worthy of the FBI's time...

As far as I can tell most of the paedo/grooming allegations are about one of his staff members. Is this story really about them and they've just slapped MrBeast in the headline for clicks?

It's also why he's hanging it all on Trump right now.

That's what he's after - the complete deregulation of self-driving safety standards in the US.

Again?

Mate, I'm not sure it ever stopped...

That's half the reason I cancelled Amazon Prime. Subs missing on half their content.

The other half was them putting ads into it.
