…Brum? Is that you?

I like that you’ve shared this so we can all bond over the same anxiety.

Let’s say they do the “brave” thing by naming themselves. They’re thrown out with their middle fingers up, and replaced by an inexperienced sycophant.

That sycophant is now in charge for hundreds if not thousands of other individuals and their lives.

It’s simply not worth their pride to risk the lives of these people under their command.

I think withholding their identities is a smart, if not expected, move.

I’m almost inclined to believe that he just wants an excuse to holiday in NZ. Because if it’s for spying… Good grief. Have they bungled it up badly.

…I mean, OPSEC IS CLEAN!

Doesn’t the FBI look into issues within USA borders? And doesn’t the CIA look into issues outside these borders? I’m confused as to why an FBI office needs to be in Wellington, especially since NZ is a sovereign country. Unless somehow the NZ government is somehow now a state of the US.

Absolutely. I found dining out in America to be really draining. It takes far too long to do anything, and you’re constantly being attended to. That’s because I’m used to paying up front for the meal, then having the food discretely served, and then leaving immediately once done. I’m sure Americans would find the local service where i live to be extremely poor.

Sorry, i didn’t know about that. We still have local radio here in Australia, so it’s not so dire down here.

Potentially I Heart Radio to listen to various artists, then internet search to purchase their albums.

Might have to bring back mix tapes and record favourite songs over digital radio!

Money. Untold amounts of money for selling sensationalism as a product. He’s always played both sides and benefits. For example, he invested $120mil into Theranos while at the same time WSJ was investigating them for fraud.

Er… Not possible.

But let’s look at anything that’s had their genes edited, bananas for example. They can’t breed and need to be cloned. One single disease will wipe out that genetically modified banana into extinction.

Same goes for humans. You edit something that’s not tried and tested against the very environment that you live in, you’re instantly vulnerable. Viruses and bacterium evolve much more quickly than we do and you just can’t edit genes fast enough to account for that.

So, on the bright side, the rich who will edit their genes to favour human traits will ultimately suffer the consequences of nature. Was brilliantly covered in War of the Worlds, the novel.

Nature takes its course.

Remember the rich tried to keep their genes separate from the masses by inbreeding. Look at where that got them.

I’ll see you there then. This has been going on for long enough. They’re so full of crap, they don’t even realise that this land was never ceded from the traditional owners who have walked this part of the earth for over 60k years.

Schadenfreude

CLAMP School Detectives has this kindergarten girl go on a date with her male teacher.

I think CLAMP does the male groomer thing quite a bit, actually. Seishirou and Subaru from Tokyo Babylon, for example.

Art auctions are a money laundering scam anyway.

Nah. Wouldn’t it have just been one season and then cancelled the rest because they didn’t make a billion overnight?

That may be true but it’s also important to have self resilience against useless criticism. I mean, it’s not your fault your excitement has triggered someone else’s defences, causing them to attack you. Best thing to do is walk away and only engage again when you’re calm, if you want to still engage with them.

I’ve just done a dive into this myself. It’s not fake. The CEO is an arsehole and a bully. Luckily, the tennis player meet up with the boy later and more than made up for the arseholery.

Because the decision makers aren’t making games they want to play. There just making business decisions on what they think sells more. It’s not rocket science to make a game that’s fun but it takes a lot of involvement and passion, something that CEOs and other C suites don’t have time for.
