Have you heard of Cookie Clicker? It's an idler game where you click a cookie to get points. You can spend those points on upgrades like automated clicking and more points per click. The goal is to get like a billion points or something but with the upgrades you're eventually getting millions of points a second without even clicking. Now imagine saying "I want to hit a billion points without buying a single upgrade. I'm literally just going to click the cookie a billion times." That's what this guy did, but with Old School Runescape.
There's been a trend of extreme OSRS players trying to one up each other in dedicating years of their life to doing a repetitive task for 18 hours a day, every day.
While I agree, the price difference between "maple syrup" (maple flavoured corn syrup) and maple syrup is way more than $5. A bottle of genuine maple syrup is $20+.
I think most e-sports kind of games tend to favour the "snowball" model where one team progressively gets more overpowered. One reason I like Rocket League is because even if you're down 3 goals the other team doesn't have any special powerups to maintain their lead. They have to keep playing well. The reason why I dislike Rocket League is because once you're down 3 goals your teammates will rage quit.
This is a commonly repeated myth but it isn't true. Nobody gets a tax write off in point-of-sale fundraising. Charities ask stores to do it because it's one of the most efficient and effective ways for a charity to raise money. Chairty events are costly, and asking people on the street gets a lot of rejection. Stores agree to do it because they get to run ads saying they helped raise millions for charity and the charity will usually shout them out as well.
From the wiki page on the American Bar Association, they seem to mostly be involved in setting academic and ethical standards and don't actually grant or revoke licences.
Young boy search histories are great. I remember when my little brother borrowed my laptop once and when I got it back there was searches on Youtube for "boobs", "big boobs", and "big boobs jumping". Guess he's a boob guy.
My understanding is that "China" is special because they're a founding member of the UN and have special powers due to that. After the civil war, neither Taiwan or China wanted to lose that power, so neither side wanted to be recognized as anything other than "China". I've heard that the younger generation in Taiwan are more open to being recognized as Taiwan but China has kind of made that impossible now by threatening any country that doesn't respect the "one China" policy.
Kurzgesagt has a video on fentanyl. Apparently most opioid addicts specifically try to avoid fentanyl as its high is much shorter than other opioids and the overdose potential is also much higher. Fentanyl is popular with dealers because it's sold in smaller amounts so it's easier to smuggle/hide. It's also highly addictive so some dealers slip it into their other less addictive drugs. Fentanyl is popular because of dealers, not addicts.
My brother had a kid and I always feel like some out of touch old man when we talk about it. Once he told me todlers can only have distilled water and I had to stop myself from going "Back in my day, my parents gave me tap water and I turned out fine!"
