Drink the expensive/good stuff first is generally good, though. I'll appreciate the good stuff more while I'm still sober/buzzed, and once I'm drunk the cheap stuff is easier to drink.

What are those reasons? What precedent does it set?

His side gigs are super grifty. Curiosity box was a straight scam. Two months delayed and full of shifty products that break or fall apart trying to assemble them.

I think that today's world makes it harder to stand out as a genius, even with more opportunity. Most modern composers with any public name recognition are movie composers, like Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, and John Williams. Absolutely incredible scores without their movies, but are any Mozart level? I bet the Mozart level ones are probably well known in the orchestral world, but none of them are probably very well known outside of it.

And as far as scientists and mathematics, those roles have been pretty much entirely commercialized and corporatized. Even stuff for the public good is largely funded through grants and private investors, so the geniuses are always beholden to others who will take the real credit.

All of the recognized "geniuses" that I can think of are business-savvy grifters like musk and bozos and Zuck, all riding the coattails of the real innovators. Plus, these three specifically, if you look at their vanity projects and shit, they're all pretty insane.

To be fair Rockstar was really the company that normalized nudity in games. Not that is is normalized, I can only think of a handful of companies that have done it in mainstream games. Cd project red gamed and that Conan exiles or whatever mmo where you get a dick? Honestly can't think of others.

This Supreme Court ruling will de facto gut the fda, if I remember right. Basically ruling that the courts get to override the fda.

Remember all the chaos of early covid and conservatives railing against the vaccines because they weren't FDA approved? Lol guess it was never about it being approved, was it?

Also that happened at the very end of ds9, and only when the least ferengi-like ferengi ever became grand nagus, and his advisors were, his non-ferengi wife and his give-no-fucks civil rights leader mother.

That has to be the real reason they've canceled Grand Tour

They do say the time jumps... it shows like 'x years later' on screen multiple times.
