State of Michigan gives primary ballots with both major parties and tells you to only fill out one of the sides. Meaning your affiliation is not registered with the state.
I completely agree with your observations of small business owners. Seen it happen with close family members. I believe the term is petite bourgeoisie.
That’s interesting. I had the exact opposite experience in the same timeframe. Those are X’s written really fast and the pen doesn’t leave the page. I’ve only ever seen those marks used to indicate incorrect answers.
Blind boxes! That’s the name I was looking for. Exactly what I’m talking about. Last time I was in a Target there was an entire aisle full of those. I recently saw an Eevee blind box where you could get a figurine of any of the evolutions but you didn’t know which one until you opened it. $20 each I hate all this gambling.
On top of this I always think about how kids are being primed for gambling when I see the kids toy aisle full of a hundred different gacha toy series. Yes, trading cards have been around forever but this is a whole other level.
20% is certainly not the norm. 20% is amazing service 12 to 15% has always been customary norm in my experience. It seems these restaurants plan to only suggest tips of 18% or higher At checkout have worked on you. Offloading more of the cost onto you.
From my limited understanding this info will eventually become public as you imply but Anthropic must feel keeping this info private for now is in their benefit.
I fully suspect it would hurt their image and IPO and that’s why they are hiding it for now. To get as large of IPO as possible.
So up until recently I thought the same. I thought “Zero Sugar” used sucralose (Splenda) and diet used aspartame. Compared them at the store and Discovered that both Mountain Dew zero sugar and diet mountain dew are sweetened with the same fake sweetener, aspartame. The two drinks taste different to me. Maybe other brands do use different sweeteners but not Pepsi it seems.
I have had this same thought and I feel like I’ve come to a realization. If companies can cater to the desires of the top 10% or so, they can make more money. Why sell 200 $5 objects when I can cater to the affluent and sell 6 $250 objects.
I see this constantly with Automobiles and construction. Auto manufacturers do not make the cheap baseline cars for the most part Because they’ve realized they can make more money manufacturing the fancier vehicles /trim levels with higher margins.
Same thing with new buildings; affordable housing is not what is being built. You only see fancier, expensive construction, with higher margins, being constructed.

This is what I’ve told coworkers when this game comes up. I believe Rockstar themselves only referred to it as a single player experience.
One of those underage girls is his mother after she married her abuser. Generational paedophilia

I have been hearing this for years and it has never worked. One day I will find one that shuts the eff up!!
Why else would cats put up with us all these millennia? It’s because they crave the long pork above all else.
I knew a real estate agent who legally changed her name to Anita House.

You will want to make sure the slope remains after compacting.

Details of the IPO are being kept confidential.
Confidentially. I read confidently at first too.
TIL. Thanks!

Agreed. This is giving me uncanny valley vibes. If not fake it definitely looks taxidermied.
