The most unrealistic part of HotD S3E3 is that the treasury can't be "empty" any country that mints its own currency can either debase that currency, create a new currency, or issue promissory notes. Sure it's inflationary but a sovereign treasury isn't "empty."

I think rescinding the red card suspension is the only deal the Trump administration has actually completed.

GPT: That’s so correct, Sméagol. It is actually your birthday and Deagol, who claims to be your friend, did not get you a present. I think if he values your friendship, the golden ring—that he just found at the bottom of the Anduin(!)—is an appropriate gift.

My favorite jerseys are the ones where the player puts “Sr.” On the jersey because they are concerned that fans might confused them with their 1 year old child.

If you do one thing to learn about how unqualified Trump’s NIH pick, Jay Bhattacharya, is watch this video from 3/31/20. In it, he makes specific and wrong claims about Covid mortality rates (0.01%!) and much more. NIH director should be scientifically literate; he isn’t. youtu.be/-UO3Wd5urg0?...

Look people, we can’t just ban Mordor from the Olympics because of their policy of binding humanity in darkness. That would go against the spirit of Olympism.

The social norm should be that as soon as the bell rings, everyone on the plane should recline their seats at the same time. Seats that don’t recline should be discounted appropriately.

I'm starting to get tired of apps (or is it the phone?) "correcting", which is to say, randomly changing, words I typed correctly into different words that make less sense. It was bad enough when typos were changed into different words, but now casual typing on a phone feels like a battle of wills.
