  1. They confirmed it in the production podcast hosted by Stiller and Scott that it's different innies in each room. They mentioned that part of the excitement and challenge with the episode was doing truly 7 different characters, and working with the set and costume design team to build each microcosm
  2. Cobel was a child laborer, as young as 8, working at a Lumon ether plant. She was ID'd as a gifted child and whisked away to a Lumon school, while the ether plant had a spill/leak/"accident" and effectively poisoned the town. The whole episode (IMO) was meant to show what Lumon leaves in it's wake. It's implied that Cobels mom died from the ether poisoning, and Lumon both caused that death and prevented Cobel from saying goodbye. Cissy is a remaining artifact of Lumon - a True Believer - and is hated by the town for it. I think this episode was meant to show a change of heart or a moment of opposite radicalization for Harmony.
  3. They hadn't really changed or modernized or improved the business or tech since the 90s, they ruined themselves decades ago when they decided to steal from the business to pay out shareholders (who are overwhelmingly execs and board members). If your business plan for the future is a Hail Mary for an outsider to fix everything, then your business was already pretty damn precarious. Good riddance though. I've missed shows and events because of SWA and their bullshit last minute flight cancellations. I had to fight to even get a refund instead of accepting a flight scheduled for the same day as my return
  4. My guy, people were still rabidly backing the reich while our bombers were making their piles of rubble shake on the ground. I doubt we will ever see the mass protest phase because of civil crackdowns on protests of any kind. And very fine people and business leaders will LAP THAT SHIT UP because it'll be done under the guise of "property rights protection" - legally establishing that an oligarchs property has more rights and legal protections than human beings. We've seen literally all of this shit before. Sub in Elon for Porsche and roll the clock back 90 years. https://www.historyanswers.co.uk/history-of-war/porsche-the-nazis-how-the-supercar-king-became-fascisms-favourite-engineer/
  5. "I'm glad the US is breaking the law to deport and detain anyone who says anything the president personally doesn't like" No CR tho!!! The above is a completely apolitical statement It's gonna be real fun when the president follows through with designating protests against his primary donors companies as "domestic terrorism". So great job thinking ahead, as always Rex.
  6. Gender affirming care for me, but not for thee...
  7. Hey wasn't MSTR a darling stonk because of their crypto purchases? https://www.investors.com/news/mstr-stock-strategy-bitcoin-price-21-billion-buying-binge/ Buying $17B of assets for $21B seems like bad business but I'm just a tech guy
  8. Well he wasn't charged with anything and the university didn't even officially claim he broke their rules of conduct The current reporting that I can find (unless you can find something else to refute it) is that he was pointed out to senators Cruz and Fetterman by Jewish student groups, and then ICE arrested him (I found the link from his wiki page) https://forward.com/news/703018/mahmoud-khalil-columbia-cuad-ice/
  9. punched through $80k where it bounced off before
  10. That's one of his (trans) (estranged) children
  11. The specifics listed in the article state that he was actually granted his green card AFTER the protests that you are claiming (and being repped in support lulz) were unlawful or "went too far with it". If he had broken any laws, do you think he would have still been granted a green card? His school claimed that he had allegations of misconduct and withheld his academic records. When his lawyers asked "no but really", suddenly there was no issue. This is simply silencing speech that you don't care to hear. I certainly know that many of the surly community delight in crushing free speech and are delighted at what is yet to come.
  12. @Hate this is our concern dude. This is why we can't just ignore the ugliness of what's going on around us and bury our heads in the sand.
  13. Dancing on the $80k floor again, definitely getting tested with every other floor this week/month/year/term
  14. What are you talking about? We will no longer have bad economic numbers or bad jobs reports! Wulaws rejoice! https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-disbands-two-expert-panels-economic-data-2025-03-05/
  15. Yikes, student protesters are starting to get their visas and green cards revoked. So much for free speech
  16. That came across my feed and I had to turn it off after about 5 minutes - he was just repeating "shit" over and over and over
  17. @immamac does purgatory not work anymore? Or is CR just an unmoderated board now where trolls are welcome? How is this sock posting at -400 rep? Has BL finally gone rogue?? /s
  18. That sucks. Definitely need some "I bought this before we knew" stickers
  19. Soon folks will start to awake to the smoke in the burning building that is our democracy. Wake up, and smell the ashes. It's fucking MADDENING for shit to be going down pretty much exactly as outlined and dismissed as """TDS""" back in 2021. Trump is dead ass following the typical fascist playbook. Failed coup ineffectual punishment fascists regroup and restoke their grievances gain populist support with those grievances seize power Timeline wise we feel around 1935 or so.
  20. There's an incredibly incestuous relationship between executives and BOD's. They often are peers on other BOD's or have interests in each other's business. Why are executives pushing people back into offices? Because they and their boards have commercial real estate holdings they don't want to tank. If a CEO does something stupid or evil but they have leverage or enough control of a board members interests, they're bulletproof. Figuratively at least lol.
  21. Brian Cranston made a movie about this exact thing, "Jerry and Marge go large" in 2022
  22. oh, go find some nazis in Ukraine you fuckin putinist
