Casinos do fine. Robinhood probably won't be the next Vanguard but they've essentially created the casual betting market version of investing.

Cause I have worked in NYC media and know that Vice writers use "landlord" as an insult?

The impetus for this piece was someone wrote a tweet that got very popular implying Google is somehow trying to cover for "landlords" by calling them "property owners". Vice writers are upset about that and would prefer to use "landlord" cause in their culture it has a negative connotation.

I object to "articles" that are essentially just popular tweets puffed up. Don't think that is good journalism and don't think it needs much more detail.

This is an article nearly entirely built around a viral Tweet regarding "landlord" cause Vice writers live in a strange world where that is essentially a slur they want to use, and then found two edge cases to make it an "article".

This is where the weird negativity around billionaires taking loans is odd, even as someone who doesn't particularly like Musk. Sure, if their stock holdings keeps increasing in value, they can handle the loans easily and come out ahead on the deal. But that isn't a given, so what is the issue?

Reed Hastings would currently being losing a lot under this scheme.

This piece is mostly a response to how people here thought the author was too paranoid about being honest in an exit interview. And the answer is unionization?

I 100% agree you should be a mercenary at work. Look out for number 1, HR isn't your friend, etc. But being so paranoid you can't even speak your mind in a nearly zero stakes situation of talking to your company before you leave speaks to a very negative outlook on work that seems honestly exhausting.

And more to point, if you are a good mercenary, unionization only harms you.

Buzzfeed's purpose was to make money. Buzzfeed News was a semi-successful attempt to take money from advertisers who preferred high minded NYT/WSJ type audiences by gaining the reputation of "no, no, you see Buzzfeed News is the serious part, it actually does good stuff!".

It didn't work because the financial cards are stacked against print media, there is basically NYT and then tech billionaire charity cases like The Post and The Atlantic.

So this is a bit silly, but I got today's Wordle with a somewhat lewd slang for a female body part for the second word.

Tried replicating in the NYT version, and said it wasn't in the word list.

People will hack their ovens to run cleaning cycles without locking for pizza making purpose.

This reminds me of the Key and Peele robber sketch when the heist plan is to get a job at the bank, work there 30 years, and get a regular paycheck so the bank is giving you the loot without ever suspecting it.

Technically "fair", yes. When you lost by over 40 points, it is also pointless.

You can't win the game, work the ref.
