I think the mention of fintech in the text makes an implication of online store of some sort, where I could see it being profitable because it’s a lot more work to be able to generate listings and accept payment and shipping information.
I’ve had people pissed off that I didn’t call my mother as Mom, they thought it was DiSResPeCtFUL. She has a name, it’s a respectable name, and when I called that name in a group or a crowd then she will know it’s me without panicking any nearby moms. Get over it, it’s none of your damn business!
So basically, it’s a meme originating from Star Trek wherein a species communicates exclusively through idioms and descriptions of events, making it impossible to translate without an understanding of their overall culture and history. Shaka When the Walls Fell probably means failure, it can be translated as “wow” in best case or “this is devastating” in the worst case.
If my Ink Tank Printer suddenly posted SHAKA WHEN THE WALLS FELL then I would be taking a few steps back and grabbing some towels.
That sounds cool, but given that bank interest creates currency directly that means if it continues at that rate then eventually peso value will start to see a sharp decline.
“Beetlejuice” was the musical that led to public ridicule being heaped on Boebert. She and her date were ejected from a performance of the musical adaptation in Denver for groping, vaping, and talking during the show.
He used to be more of a self identified nonpartisan moderate centrist, and he interviewed people of all shapes and color with great interest and respect, but these last few years he’s really lost his goddamn mind.
Piece of Shit Pie as the internet usually refers to him, was an office holder in the FCC appointed by then sitting US President Donald Trump in 2017. His most noticeable policy stances included a complete end to Net Neutrality regulations in the USA and to or from abroad, despite previously claiming that he didn’t think the board of unelected members had the authority to dictate it. Once he switched his stance to deregulation it would have had the effect of letting telecommunications companies and other intermediary ISPs decide what content or sources their users have access to: the internet as a whole to all US citizens could have been completely controlled by a small group of companies, their customers potentially seeing only what they want them to see and not having access or freedom to send or receive connections.
It’s got huge amounts of applicability in many lifestyles and situations that most people never realize until the moment arrives. I once played a fun game that had you guess a number between 1 and 1 Billion with them telling you higher or lower to earn your freedom. Takes a couple of minutes at most.
I once had a friend who was robbed of all kinds of stuff including a PS3, and that the guy was signed into his Netflix changing account profiles the very same day. I told him he can just get a tracking number by calling Playstation and that the active police officer can use it to track them. Thing is, the officer ghosted him for like 8 months despite having everything they needed to immediately find the exact location of the perpetrator actively using the stolen property.
The USA Public School System notoriously doesn’t care about science or education in general. They’ve been isolated groups of independent small governments held to no national standard since their inception. They usually just prepare kids to blend in with their local community: manerisms, speech patterns, bare minimum math and reading skills.
Definitely everyone. Art is good, reveals are good, the joke density is good with back to back quips and reveals, but for some reason it kind of left me lacking any sense of resolution. Maybe I’ve become jaded from people “ironically” posting conservative hate comics that I now view each new comic I see with a sense of apprehensive doubt.
Oh sure yeah let me just start fact checking by subscribing to every kind of scientific journal, calling up various libraries and universities to check relevant studies, and ask lawyers and legislators every single time somebody says something questionable or puts something misleading on a label instead of using a search engine.
EDIT: It feels like some people aren’t getting the joke, to clarify all of these words mean roughly the same thing but are a few years apart from each other.
