What's weird with these massive IPOs is that the price they're trying to get is big enough to instantly become one of the stocks at the top of the index funds, which means everybody who followed the standard advice is going to be buying into them by default

You do, but most people don't actually want to manage their investments in detail, so it's common to put it in either a managed fund or an index fund. In the latter case, it's automatically distributed across a set of stocks, usually the ones with the largest total value (market cap)

there's a bit in Charles Stross's Accelerando where corporate charters are written as executable Python, which always struck me as the worst of both worlds

As somebody who mostly listened to music as downloaded albums, I wish there was a good discovery mechanism not tied to streaming services... I'll listen to live session and stuff on youtube but their discovery/mix is 95% things I've already listened to *on youtube* and therefore useless

Poseidon isn't real, so that part's not really a problem. I'd be more worried about some sort of creature from the black lagoon scenario.

I've seen a lot of people doing "okay, so this is how preindustrial logistics works" and a few people doing "ok, so here's how I think D&D magic would alter society" but I don't think I've seen anybody who actually gets the former trying to work out the latter in detail

For some reason I always thought Weird Al was Jewish, even though his work is all but explicitly Rosicrucian and alchemical.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

... I just reread Rugolo's last post and the "grantednlast" means it's almost certainly written on a phone, that's not a mistake you make with a physical keyboard... which means he *modified his phone's keyboard settings* to type like this *on purpose*

there's definitely a thing in low-formality chat/social media systems where you don't capitalize consistently if you're writing a sentence or two on a real computer without autocorrect, but doing that in a multi-paragraph post is unhinged

Also I should note that liturgically speaking the Twelve Days of Christmas start today and don't end until Epiphany on the 6th, so a) all playing of Christmas music prior to Christmas Day is sinful and b) it actually shouldn't stop for a couple weeks

So far, my favourite serious answer for doing Frodo's job well is Cheery Littlebottom, and my silly answer was Nobby Nobbs (who's already resisted becoming king due to terror of Vimes). But in addition I will propose, for the hell of it: Nanny Ogg (Mordor would become quite the fertile land).
