Weird, I've never been hit up by Nicole, or their friends. Not that I want to, they sound exhausting to put up with

We have dubbed this span since 1945 "the long peace" which largely this refers to there not being 2 or more wealthy nations in a hot war since the end of WW2. It's been proxy wars pitting poorer nations against each other - armed by rich nations, and wealthy nations going to war with poorer nations. (Poorer nations going to war and civil wars nonwithstanding because they do not impact global politics)
A vehicle (according to their website) that is 61k base, 81k for awd (2024) and 81k base (2025) to 101k (loaded) is 10% or less of a discount. If it's a sliding scale and you don't get that "up to" 6k unless Loaded, that is barely over 5%.
Maybe videogame economies have spoiled my idea of "discounts" and pricing of real items but "priced to sell" means better than hearing 95% of normal. I couldn't say what dealers actually call fair when it comes to actually selling cars in this bracket for a profit but 25% might get sales moving again. (It works for home appliances, why not cars?).
I dive for super earth and space marines when I want other people around because while teammates are nice and all, I know we won't lose (as often) due to player agency if someone has to get kicked (or drops, or dies)
Lots of games have poor matchmakers whether by malicious design or outright laziness. Over a decade ago Ubisoft specifically pattented a matchmaker learning tool that watches how long you play, how many matches you play, and how many losses you "put up with" without quitting, thereby deciding how often to sprinkle in steamroll wins. They swore it was "just to patent it and that no projects are planned to use this", but when does the industry not lie through their teeth.
It's an ouroborus - a self feeding problem that will always be able to Boogeyman the problem it caused. Those employees will then be painted as wasting money by tying up courts for settlements, decried like the McDonald's coffee incident all over again.
Came here to say your last sentence lol. They could do it on purpose, and no one be any the wiser because it's such a shit search tool.
I've always seen 4chan as like a content generation white hole (made of poop ofc). From nothing, content spews forth and each tier of websites acts as a new filter as the content got safer or less dark as few and fewer memes got reposted. There used to be 4 tiers of how dark you liked your meme brew (4chan>reddit>twitter>Facebook)
Idk why I typed this up I should just hit the delete key this is outdated I have no idea how it works now. I've never used 4chan (or its doubling number clones) so it was always a mythical, forbidden place.
(Everything the light touches is our domain. What's that shadowy place over there? 4chan where you must never go)
What a proactive defense to prevent misinterpretations of their words!
Scans for anything they forgot to say they didn't do
What happened over there?
In some states you can't vote once you leave it either, for felonies. States like Missouri or Mississippi require extra steps like a pardon to get your voting rights back
