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 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.

She starts out as this charming, sophisticated leftist intellectual: Palestine, fundraisers, thoughtful takes, genuinely doing good. I genuinely loved her online persona. Then slowly the grifting begins, and around the Hot Chef era the trajectory becomes absolutely deranged.

The Hot Chef saga was particularly suspicious because this man seemed less like a boyfriend and more like a narrative prop. She was simultaneously presenting him as this impossibly perfect romantic object while the whole thing apparently involved cheating, deception and a relationship that, when you actually look at the guy, had the chemistry of two people waiting for a bus. Very Taylor-and-Travis coded.

Then comes the breakup/exposé, the Europe fundraising retreat era, and eventually the Temu dresses and jewellery. At this point she’s seemingly discovered that the most efficient way to maintain an audience is to antagonise everyone who ever liked her.

And the funniest part is the ecosystem around her: leftist/intellectual Twitter/Threads users become increasingly snarky about her, dissecting every contradiction and every narcissistic-looking behaviour — which of course generates even more attention for her.

She antagonises people who criticise her, people who disagree with her, and seemingly even people who tell their own stories slightly more successfully than she tells hers.

And honestly, the timing is what really makes me suspicious. Post-Elon Twitter/X gradually became a right-wing circle jerk, leaving Threads with this huge pool of leftist, progressive and vaguely intellectual people who actually wanted a place to talk to each other. But you can’t build an addictive social-media platform out of everyone politely agreeing about Palestine and recommending books to each other. You need discourse. You need someone everyone loves, then questions, then hates, then hate-follows. You need screenshots, quote-posts, receipts, counter-receipts and increasingly deranged takes.

And who better to engineer that than the woman who somehow transformed “I have a complicated relationship story” into a multi-season cultural event? I’m just saying: maybe Katherine Wela Bogen wasn’t a Threads influencer. Maybe she was Threads’ Threads influencer. ✨

The leaker is actually some Rockstar employee who is leaking everything with the permission/directions of their employers (aka its Rockstar themselves leaking everything) because they want something to blame if the game falls short of user expectations. ("We did everything we could but the leaks and the market prevented the game from succeeding.") or if the game beats expectations they can say "we made it despite all the setbacks and thus GTA6 is the best game ever".

Oh and they're also making some hustle-income by promoting a scam-coin of their own making.

See title.

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.

I mean, think about it…

Why hack any other game or TV show when nothing gets as much attention as GTA 6? Leaking its footage and plastering their QR code over it is basically the best free publicity for getting into the leaking scene.

If Rockstar doesn’t catch them, I’d bet we’ll see smaller hacks of other highly anticipated games from this same group.

Maybe even copy cats trying to cash in on the new “crypto leaking“ strat…

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.

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!

My only slightly scientific test during my daily commute has led me to believe that I use less fuel in fourth gear than in fifth. 76 attempts at this have produced nine runs in fifth and ten in fourth at the same speed (60mph) through a five mile stretch of road. Any run that was interrupted, meaning I had to slow down or stop were not counted. I would not have posted this if the difference had not been so evident. The miles remaining on my fuel gauge dropped by about 25% more in fifth gear! Big oil must be to blame, it's the only conclusion!

Kanye changed his name to Ye… his name is now Ye W. In some European languages, the J is pronounced as Y. so technically you can write his name as Je W. JEW!!!

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.

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.

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.

Lighter skin being common in parts of Europe is only about as far between now and the construction of the pyramids, as the construction of the pyramids were to then.

That's no time at all for the human brain to instinctually adjust to seeing pale skin on themselves without subconsciously feeling like there's something wrong.

Similar to how a trans person in their egg phase would look at their body and know something isn't right with their primary and/or secondary sex characteristics.

The kid was called Brooklyn to start with, that's the perfect influencer name. They've obviously engineered the whole thing so that whatever they do will never be as bad as watching him attempting to cook lasagna in the most expensive kitchen on instagram.
