Nihilism was better when it was about dressing up fancy and trying to kill the Tsar.

If you don't do a lot of highway driving a Subaru Sambar van is awesome and they're dirt cheap to import. Next year the 1999 models will be available and they're very improved for safety features compared to the 1998 ones.

When the Kei Vans were first made they made being able to fold the seats down flat into a bed a big priority because of how high rent was in the 80s and 90s in Japan.

Edit: I should mention that the improved safety features is that a front crumple zone exists at all, it's still not safe, but it is a lot better than the older ones.

If I had to give up YouTube I'd move to Nebula. It's been growing and is steadily getting better.

Back when the stories broke that the CIA helped to fund itself for their Contra operations by smuggling cocaine into America they helped protect the CIA because they were angry that a small time paper and Gary Web broke the story instead of mainstream media.

There are declassified CIA documents talking about how helpful the LA Times and New York Times were on helping them cover up the scandal. They were worried about the continued existence of the CIA with everything coming out but mainstream media came to their defense unprompted.

Currently there is a lot of price fixing going on. Landlords use software to set the rate. They really like it because it allows them to point to the machine to remove empathy from the equation.

I got a few dollars from 5/3 bank cause of a class action for exactly this.

Layoffs make the stock price go up. It's a "look at all the money we are saving!" Move. Get a short term profit at the expense of long term gains, because to shareholders short term profits matter more.

I forgot the exact speech I used, but once I had the baddie that the party killed give a dying speech about how "Now they'll win, there's nothing to stop them now."

So they realized of course that there was some big evil thing that he was trying to stop. But... they were really bad at investigating, and after a couple bad rolls they were convinced he was some kind of heroic figure.

The guy was just racist. There had been a war in the neighboring country and there were a bunch of deep gnomes coming into the country as refugees and he hated them, and wanted to go on a big ol ethic cleansing. This was not a secret plot.

Had a few interesting interactions with NPCs after that with the party talking about how amazing the evil guy was when talking to some of the refugees. One of the players figured it out at that point but thought it was funnier to keep going, and had his character dedicate his life to fighting in his memory.

I know it's Dick, but I'm more partial to Climax in Michigan.

Probably cause I had to see a woman in Climax for work once.
