It also helps to have so much wealth you don't need to worry over things like affording food and housing.

"It wasn't me"

I was a funeral director in Ontario, Canada. The law here is that the contract you sign with the crematorium will have a cremation number which will be stamped into a metal disk and that disk will be placed with the remains. After cremation, the disk will be in the cremated remains. People who receive the cremated remains can check that the number on the disk matches the number on the contract they signed.

This system stops honest mistakes but nothing stops people from intentionally swapping disks. Say a funeral home worker is filling urns with a batch of cremated remains they recieved from the crematorium. They accidentally put remains A into the urn for family B and remains B into the urn for family A. The worker should swap the remains...but swaping the disks is easier. Most people I've worked with would do the right thing but the system still relies on people being honest.

Yup. Millions subscribe to MMOs and Game Pass. Live service games like Genshin Impact and Fate/Grand Order are incredibly popular. There are also games with crazy intrusive DRM like kernel level spyware and always online DRM that are still installed by millions. How can you look at these stats and not think people are fine with paying for temporary games? If the game is good enough, players don't care. Ubisoft's problem is their games aren't good enough.

I have over 100 communities in my block list. I scroll through All and if I see a community over and over that I truly don't care about I just add it to the block list. Scrolling through All becomes a way to find new communities I like instead of being 500 posts I don't care about

Imagine the timeline of Trump getting assassinated and Biden dying of COVID within weeks of each other.

A bystander alerted police shortly after the fight ended. They spoke with one of the men involved in the incident, and he told them that it was the two women who had initiated the fight. The rest of the men refused to cooperate and give IDs, however. There are currently no charges as police are investigating the situation.

Have you comitted a hate crime? Don't cooperate with police! Police can't arrest you without your concent! Police HATE this one weird trick!

For nerds like me. The female name is short for Brianna or Gabriella. The cheese name is from the French region of Brie where it originated in. That region got its name from the Gaulish word briga meaning "hill" or "height".

Most people say Bill Gates but it reminds me of the classic joke:

The woman you know as your grandmother is not my mother. That's an elderly woman now trying to get into heaven

Bill Gates acted identically to Zuckerberg and Musk and every other hated billionare back in the 90s. There was a time Micro$oft was always written with the dollar sign. There was a time a young smug grinning Gates was posted everywhere as the poster child for rich assholes. The Microsoft board of directors did the smart move and removed Gates from management and then he quietly retired. He's had an Ebenezer Scrooge moment and has spent the last decade trying to buy his way into people's good graces.

It's great that Gates is helping people, but I don't think we should all have to suffer under a power hungry cut throat CEO and hope one day they have a change of heart.

One of the best explanations of Trump's January 6 conspiracy charges:

I go to the store and buy a crowbar. Not illegal.

I meet up with a friend and we talk about how a neighbour will be away on vacation soon. We talk about getting a crowbar to break into the place. Not illegal.

I meet up with a friend and talk about getting a crowbar to rob a place. I go to the store and buy a crowbar. This is now illegal. It has become a criminal conspiracy. Whether or not I actually rob the house does not matter. A criminal conspiracy has been committed.

If there is evidence the discussion about robbing happened and that buying a crowbar was part of that discussion and then I went and bought a crowbar, if all that can be shown in court, I am guilty of conspiracy.

Trump's January 6 case is about him being part of discussions to prevent the peaceful transition of power and then performing actions that were part of that discussion. The actions he did were not illegal unless it can be shown they were part of a conspiracy and the prosecution seem to be confident they have that evidence in the form of voice mails, text messages, letters, and testimony from the people involved.

Anyone can design a 70 mile long aqueduct. It takes a skilled engineer to design a 70 mile long aqueduct using the minimal amount of materials necessary.
