Having read a lot of what you’ve recently written, I would work in your parents’ small business and train yourself to take it over.

You’re struggling with a lot of issues that are preventing you from thriving and part of those issues are made worse by not being economically independent. That you’re pointing out that homelessness is a risk seems to indicate that you don’t have enough savings to pursue your own path to freedom.

The problem is that Galaxy’s Edge got descoped later in the design process while Eisner made decisions early on in the design process to ensure a cheaper park.

Yeah. From what I see, they generally self-medicate with energy drinks.

Galaxy’s Edge feels emblematic about the issues of design under Iger versus Eisner.

Eisner vastly expanded park capacity, but he didn’t just focus on E-ticket attractions. He intentionally built some parts of the parks to entertain but cheaper to add capacity and give people a place to be entertained if they didn’t want to wait in long lines.

In contrast, most of Iger’s expansions were generally a lot more costly and didn’t have the throughout of previous E-ticket attractions. This ended up pushing Disney into being a more premium experience.

I feel like this is a symbol of the difference between the Eisner and the Iger CEO tenures. Eisner built out a massive expansion of the parks under his leadership, doubling the gates in Anaheim and Orlando while planning international expansion. Iger didn’t, choosing smaller expansions with premium experiences over capacity expansions.

It is part of the reason that Universal has been able to grow so much, Disney doesn’t have the capacity that it needs to meet high end theme park demand.

There is also ability for external filtering.

It is easy to buy additional software to restrict websites. That equipment doesn’t work for most video games.

The complaints about the arms industry/the cost of war has been around since recorded history.

AI server farms has only been around for a few years.

Tom Selleck wants my house when I die.

Big if true.

This wasn’t built to be a great service, it was built to be a French controlled one.

Nah. The worst idea is identifying another ethnicity as making better tasting meat and saying that it isn’t an issue to eat people outside your kin or kith.

Then you subjugate the population as breeding stock to create food for your society because the superior humanity shouldn’t concern itself with the treatment of lesser peoples. After all, if they didn’t deserve to be eaten, then why do they taste so good?

I had a guy buy me two drinks at an expensive Vegas bar. He didn’t really even want to talk.

Kind of.

Due to historic low taxes for the wealthy, they have been able to use their capital to build on more capital, pushing up the value of assets.

Rich people hoarding wealth is part of the reason why housing prices are so insane, but it isn’t the reason why groceries cost more.

I would look at how your peers would see it.

Older siblings usually mature faster because they are typically pushed to be responsible for younger siblings in some form.

It is the reason why Microsoft was able to gimp the Internet for so long with Internet Explorer. Companies couldn’t make money off of the browser, so Microsoft made a browser that helped defend the Windows monopoly.

The NYC area is very low context and high volume. A lot of the rest of the Northeast is the same way.

Letters are only for those cross-continental, cross-oceanic relationships.

Letters were commonly written for people in the same city. Some posh neighborhoods in major cities would have hourly mail service.

And this is why we all go to the bad place.

If the USA was going to pick another language, it would be German.
