Comment Funky Forest! (Score 1) 100

If you've never seen it; Watch some clips of Funky Forest in the original Japanese.
I watched them and wouldn't find translations for years, I had a strong suspicion that there was no story at all and it was just nonsense video art but it turned out to mostly not be the case.

I guess I should also mention this is not anime

The amount of supposedly smart and presumably SWE-wealthy people in this thread going "why would gamestop wanna buy loser ass ebay?" tells me he picked the right scam. I would have never expected so many marks with cash to come out of the woodwork.

All he has to do is convince these morons that it would be good for gamestop.... and it would be... but there is no sane way this could work.
Rampant financial illiteracy despite being full of math nerds and crypto coin obsessives... what's going on with slashdot these days?

Almost as though many people posting here couldn't possibly the highly educated and financially literate professionals they claim to be?

I have problems with a lot of things, insurance companies, AC repair men, car dealers.

But i don't have any of the online shopping problems i hear about in this thread. I think the worst I ever did was impulse purchase from a scalper. But even then the alternative was not getting the thingy for like 9 months.

Yeah but you should be able to intuit that the country with no alternatives and a car culture where everyone gets a license easily; The rate of drunk driving is probably higher than other countries.

Like I've been places in this country where the bars were so sustained by drunk driving that the police would wait outside and pick off cars like seagulls to turtle hatchlings unto the sea. It was systemically expected with local cops pulling me over multiple times and one even calling me "the sober guy" as he waved me off in disgust, it being so unexpected that any car would actually have a real designated driver.

Sure you might do some science and find something surprising, that's why we do it, but in a case like this a normal person should have reasonable faith in their intuition and not require a masters thesis before making up their mind that in a country that actually encourages drunk driving, rates of drunk driving are higher than most other places and mot average.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding and you're saying they gather statistics differently but nothing you"ve said previous to your last post indicates that with much clarity.
