Investing in actual education infrastructure won't get VC techbros their yachts, though.

Didn't Apartheid Lonnie refuse to pay rent for the office space for a while there? Did that ever get resolved or is he still defaulting on the rent?

LessWrong are a bunch of pretentious loons, so you're not wrong.

That's because pretty much everything does cause cancer eventually. That's just a consequence of how cellular division works. The trick is knowing how much exposure to any given thing is needed to cause cancer, and whether you're likely to reach that threshold before you die of anything else.

Also everything was orchestrated by the Illuminati before they got hijacked by a splinter faction of even bigger dickbags than the normal Illuminati.

I mean, wouldn't paying for Truth basically be bailing President Loser out?

The way I see it, if you've bought a game from GOG you've already paid, so no one can truthfully say in good faith that subsequently grabbing a cracked version of the Steam release is a lost sale.

You could try getting into a relationship with someone and then spend all your time with the people you actually want to be friends with? You don't get any special cutscenes, true, but after Lae'zel basically threw herself at me because I helped her get through act 1 without fighting the Githyanki patrol I ended up getting way more points with Shadowheart and Halsin.

Defendants also argue that Musk needed additional incentives to stay on at Tesla or he would spend more time at SpaceX, where he could fulfill his galactic ambitions to establish interplanetary travel, colonize Mars, and potentially earn more money in the meantime.

Not like he even actually does anything at Tesla anyway, between all the people they've got to babysit him and his spending all his time shit posting on Twitter.

Hm, don't remember seeing that with the Switch demo. Yeah, that's skeevy though.

Had to start paying taxes.

 

So, obviously, if you go to a brick-n-mortar store and buy something there, it counts as a sale for the store, with stores that don't get enough sales often closing. But if I order something online from, say, Best Buy and pick it up in store, how is that tracked? Does it count as a sale for the store, even though I didn't actually buy it there? If not, do companies use a separate metric (ie this store doesn't get as many sales, but people still come in to pick up stuff, so we'll keep it open)?
