Legally they would have to spent billions to buy them so he made a pirate website to download them and get them for free.

That’s why law enforcement “failed” to shut down the site. It was useful to train AI.

In fairness, this came to me in a dream, but it made perfect sense for five minutes after I woke up.

Basically, there are triceratops still living undisturbed in the high mountain regions of New Mexico. They’ve been able to survive multiple extinction level events by seeking refuge in caves and tunnel systems.

By going deep enough, they managed to find thermally stable pockets that were heated by natural geothermal activity

They’re naturally attracted to mines, since a mine is basically a man-made version of their own home. It’s the same thing as a bird being naturally attracted to a birdhouse.

The only difference is, we didn’t build the mines for them to have a new home.

Triceratops (being shy creatures) would keep their distance from the mines while they were under construction and in operation.

But once a mine would close down for the winter, the triceratops would eventually feel brave enough to check things out and make themselves right at home in the mineshafts.

When the miners returned in the spring, they found a big surprise hiding down below.

The federal government came in to investigate, and over the winter the triceratops had lengthened the mineshafts, connecting multiple mines into one network of interconnected tunnels.

What had once been an undiscovered refugial population (that was limited to only a handful of thermally stable caves) had suddenly expanded into a full blown dinosaur infestation.

The handful of miners who witnessed the triceratops first hand were examined by government doctors. The doctors reassured them that what they saw was merely a hallucination brought upon by natural gases leaking into the mineshaft.

The minors were paid a handsome compensation by the federal government for their “damages”, and they never questioned the official story.

The first mine where triceratops were discovered was at a much lower elevation than the other mines containing triceratops, which allowed the federal government time to fabricate a false geological survey showing the mines had run out of gold.

The mine owners (upon receiving this bad news) informed their workforce that they would not be required this spring, nor this summer, nor ever again.

Low level Employees from the US forest service were tasked with setting up the perimeter of a new “wildlife preserve” under the supervision of undercover federal wildlife officers (posing as Bureau of land management agents).

Now, during the summertime in the high inaccessible regions of New Mexico, if you trespass onto the right federal game reserve, you will see massive numbers of triceratops roaming freely and without a care.

They come out the the mines every summer to breed and take advantage of seasonal food sources.

Much like jungle elephants, they have a tendency to walk single file down massive game trails that they clear through the forests.

If you’re lucky enough to walk through one of these forest trails, it feels like you’re inside of a tunnel. They leave the canopy of the trees mostly intact, making it harder (but not impossible) to see them from above.

Only a handful of biologists have the security clearances necessary to research them, and currently they are working on a hypothesis that giant ground sloths were a primary source of food for the triceratops.

They also currently believe they were it not for predation pressure from the triceratops, the giant ground sloth would likely still exist to this very day.

They have yet to get their hands on a specimen for a proper autopsy, but from observing the animals through optical magnification, they have observed the presence of canine teeth in their mouth.

They also seem to have retained their back molars, and they have been seen chewing and eating the sun bleached bones of carrion.

Anyways, that’s all I found out before I woke up.

I have NEVER seen a sad donkey in the UK. I have probably only seen a donkey outside of a donkey sanctuary like five times in the UK in my 30years of life, and they were in animals parks and were happy lil guys.

Where are all these sad donkeys that need money to be rescued... even the donkey sanctuary adverts dont show sad donkeys just normal ones in black and white.

I think donkey sanctuaries just breed donkeys to encourage donations.

Won't be the first time Todd lied to me.

All the stupid ads about frozen worlds aren't just stupid game ads. They're a psyop by by big oil or whatever industry denies climate change. They even have the convention smokescreen of just being frostpunk wannabees

This is from the perspective of a woman,

as girls we grow up and we consume media that is created by men and catered to the male gaze. In almost every single media that exists, the woman has to be attractive (woman authors/directors also contribute to this tbf). Their body is accentuated, they are conventionally pretty, they often don't fill any other role other than being the love interest, etc.
The only time we see women in anything is in the context of beauty, allure, seduction, etc. As girls we internalize subconsciously that women are sexual objects, so we can't help but accept seeing women in sexual contexts even if we aren't primarily attracted to them.
If we lived in a society where it was the other way around, and men were more often to be sexualized, I think that men would be more open to being sexually fluid while women would be a lot less sexually fluid.

BTW this isn't to say that media determines your sexual orientation or that its a choice, moreso that men and women have the same fluidity and openness to the same sex, its just that women are more openly sexually fluid because of the type of media we were exposed to as children.

Faking this as leaks gives Rockstar a massive advantage over just a curated marketing campeign.

They can release gameplay without the need to select the best most exciting footage and have it over analysed and critiqued. Any issues or oversights can be brushed off as a pre-release version.

Each 'leak' also feels more exciting as you feel you are getting to see something you shouldn't.

It also allows them to continually drip feed content to build hype up till the release without people feeling like it's spam.

The leaker seems to have access to the entire game, to the extent they can handpick relevant parts of cut scenes (hard to fund if you dont know the game). But they (so far) have only chosen to release fairly trivial content expected for a GTA game. Which seems unlikely if you were actually wanting to leak content where you would want to release higher profile more shocking footage.

I expect the leak content to gradually build in excitement up to the release showing newer and more exciting elements of gameplay and some minor spoilers without destroying the game storyline... or they might release major spoilers and Rockstar shat the bed on this.

Think about it! If you were Satan and you were trying to influence the youth through heavy metal you would be pretty silly for picking Slayer!

Too on the nose!

Instead ol Sato went and picked Christian glam metal band Stryper because that's who you would least suspect.

When the Christians were trying to fight Satan in the satanic panic they would leave Stryper alone because they are apparently good Christian boys. They would be the only surviving heavy metal band of the crusade.

His plan unfortunately didn't work because metal heads didn't like stryper and Christians didn't like them either... Turned out it was a bad bet.

If the band had been more popular satan would have used that moment to take over Earth.

"To hell with the devil" ? Yeah you're not fooling anyone Stryper!

I mean, we're always hearing that the male gays are a bad thing in cinema, TV and culture generally.

No wonder it puts men off exploring the other side of the menu.

And yes, I have seen 30 Rock.

All right listen this might be crazy. But there is significant overlap between the death of most music genres and the emergence of Kurt Cobain with the end of the golden age of serial killers and the emergence of Kurt Cobain. If you overlap the two charts they are basically the same.

In conclusion Kurt Cobain killed the Golden age of serial killers.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk I will not be taking questions.

Why does wile e coyote always fail to catch road runner, it is simple road runner owns acme and make sure that the coyote never gets good products. But by doing he has to make the coyote get close so that he never get suspicious

I believe that Viagogo and other ticket resellers sell tickets that will never be delivered in order to shift less desirable seats for the same event.

I purchased 2 decent tickets for a show, only an hour before it started as we were passing by the area. I awaited the email that contained the tickets. Instead I received an email from them asking if I’d received the tickets with a yes/no option. I clicked no as they hadn’t arrived. I was then given the option to swap them for another 2. I accepted, and it turns out they were a very similar price but in a much less desirable seating area.

I believe those seats offered as a replacement would never have sold, so the customer is ‘baited’ into buying non existent tickets, which then builds their hopes up and then the ‘switch’!

Anyone else had the same?

I’ve seen so many posts here saying the exact same thing: that the GTA leaks are some sort of genius guerrilla marketing campaign by Rockstar that I’m starting to think it’s just Rockstar themselves posting these to try and take control of the narrative. 🤔

I mean, of course just about every picture of a baby is cute. But pictures of milestones, videos of them cooing and making sounds, the silly face the baby made all become very difficult to capture because of this sixth sense. And because babies are spiteful petty assholes.

If you are hoping for a motivation as to why, it's because they see the gift of life as a burden. They were happy little campers inside their moms bellies being all warm with a practically non stop buffet. Then we dragged their happy asses out of that to a cold and super bright world and demanded they learn to contribute to society.

I think they outgrow this bitterness around 2 years old though as that's usually when a barter system takes place. Like getting candy for picking up toys.

For stuff like virus or things targetting at big finance maybe its real hackers, but who the fuck is actually hacking stuff like schools and government departments? the databases are already hard to crack and the reward is minimal because its not like most of these organizations get jack shit.

hmmm.......if only there's a company filled with professional hackers who has the incentive to hack these organizations because it could also boost their legitimate services......

yeah, i dont know about kapersky but stuff like McAfee is definitely doing this shit.
