He's already 55. Say he retired on his 55th Birthday not to earn another dollar in his life, and manages to live to the ripe old age of 120 y/o :-

He could spend $42M+ USD every single day till he died and still be left with around $150K USD at the time of his death. (Still far more of a net worth than most people see their entire lives.)

That really puts into perspective just how successful he is.

DISCLAIMER - I know the majority of his NW comes from SpaceX stocks/ownership (~70%) and some from Tesla (~15%) and a small portion from X. It's just crazy to me that someone worth THAT much happened during the time I was alive, i thought trillionairs were pretty far off in the future.

I thought they were both fantastic shows, but ATLA was definitely better. I am new to the fandom and I don't understand all the memes about Korra being the worst avatar ever. Could someone list all her mediocrities/failures or defend her so I understand why there's so much hate or if its unfounded?

Nic Cage was the perfect cast for Johnny Blaze. A lot of people mock it, but I feel like it was a deliberate choice for him to be a jittery, eccentric daredevil cursed with a 'demon' inside him rather than a stoic man. It was a much riskier take than the overdone and tired writing of the "haunted hero" thing that almost all superhero movies attempt these days.

The movie itself occupies a sincere but fun type of space where it's not a parody but it's also not a copy-paste of source material. While most die-hard fans won't like that, I thought it was pretty cool and there were plenty of amazing scenes and a mix of CGI and practical fire effects that marvel just can't seem to replicate these days.

I am a huge fan of the Wild West + Gothic aesthetic throughout the movies and I think it just overall deserves more love for such a solid early-marvel film.

I also think that since it came out during the Nolan Batman- Reimi Spiderman days, it got overshadowed and never got to be it's own thing.

I feel like his playbook got old very fast. Possess his kids and fight them spiritually within their own body while also not using any significant magic other than The Ruler. I understand he's done some remarkable things before, but when he had all 10 commandments with him he repeatedly lied to zeldris and wasn't affected by his own commandment. We know that he didnt simply dismantle the commandments and absorb them, because they were floating around after he died. And did none of the seven deadly sins break even one commandments rules during the fight? It might have just gone over my head but it didnt't 100% make sense to me.

A new, rabies-based virus is guarenteed to emerge. It can spread to humans through bites, saliva, blood, and most importantly - through the food chain (like eating the animal/eating the animal that ate it). You must choose an animal species to be Patient Zero. Remember your goal is to give humanity the highest chance of survival.

Rules :

1. It must be an existing thriving animal species - not extinct, critically endangered, or mythical.

2. Every living individual of said species will be immediately infected with the virus. The chosen animal must be a part of a food chain where they CAN infact reach humans, not a creature like anglerfish which cannot realistically reach humans through the food chain.

3. If the animal you chose goes extinct due to human culling or any other reason, humanity must live with the ecological consequences of that. Ex : If you choose bees, global agriculture would collapse by their extinction.

4. The virus will not change the behaviour of any of the infected species. It looks, acts, and tastes completely normal until it reaches a human host.

5. Humans infected with the virus will be asymptomatic for 30 days after contracting it but will become highly contagious after 48 hours of infection.

6. Once you pick an animal, you'll forget you ever had to pick a species to infect with this virus - You'll be a completely normal human being with no knowledge of this beforehand.

In Episode 23 of season 3 (on Netflix), Grayroad reveals she is the Commandment of Pacifism and anyone who commits murder in front of her has 'all their time' stolen from them. So why doesn't Estarossa die when he killed Meliodas in her presence when all the commandments gang up on Meliodas?

I know he can't die permanently due to the curse of the Demon King and is always revived, but he definitely has to 'die' for that to happen and as per all other commandments, there aren't any loopholes to their powers. They must even follow their own commandments, like how Galand was turned to stone while trying to run away from Escanor.

So this happened about 10 minutes ago around 2 am for me. I got three random login OTPs within a minute, one of them was for a loan website. I'm really worried someone is trying to steal from me and I don't know what to do. I am not knowledgeable about any of this so swift responses on next steps would be appreciated.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but after rewatching the office a few times now, I understand that a real-life boss like him is highly improbable. He has zero personal boundaries in the workplace, emotionally needy of his underlings, conflict avoidant, and reckless with how he lets everyone under him act.

However, he is extremely competent as a branch manager :

1. He has consistently been the No.2 salesman in the company despite running a branch of DM, and has been the branch manager of the most consistently profitable branch in DM history.

2. Jan and corporate repeatedly rely on him for numbers (like the shareholders meeting when DM was almost insolvent) despite not liking him on a personal level. David Wallace even asked Michael to share his methods with him when times were tough.

3. He's excellent one-on-one with clients. His sales pitches the few times they show are warm, attentive, effective, and to the point. He builds real rapport with clients and remembers personal details.

4. He's unusually good at reading people emotionally (even though he is remarkably bad at reading rooms). He acted like a father figure to Erin when she needed it, and kept Pam's art dreams alive at a critical point when no one believed in her. Most of his personal and professional issues stem from wanting too much of a bond with his coworkers. He wanted to be well-liked, included, a father figure, and a friend all at once to everyone, which made him a very funny, flawed and needy character at first glance.

I think he ages very well on rewatches, because these subtle things are difficult to catch when you're just trying to laugh at a decent sitcom.

But here's the catch - the moment you make a wish, everyone else in the world automatically gets their own.

1. The willow will only grant wishes that are physically possible or enforcable. For example - You can't just wish to erase death, the willow just won't break to grant your wish.

2. Any wish that contradicts another wish - no matter when it was made will cause both wishes to fail/reverse.

3. If you choose not to make a wish, then no one else would ever get one. You are the global trigger to the ensuing chaos.

4. The wish will work within any constraints you say, but also will try to make your wish come true in a way you'll end up regretting. For example - If you wish to be the best basketball player on your school team, everyone else might die in a bus crash or get various injuries that would make them worse than you.

1. The rule enforces itself instantly and without any visible mechanism. No instant death, no divine punishment, nothing - It's just physically impossible to violate.

2. The rule can't reference you, your loved ones, your property, or anything personal. It must apply blindly to every human in a way thats blind to identity.

3. This rule will apply to every human currently alive, and to every human ever born henceforth.

4. The rule is permanent and cannot be undone by anyone or anything, even if it has devastating consequences.

5. The rule is interpreted precisely the way a reasonable person would understand your exact wording. No malicious literalism or generous 'spirit of the law' vs 'word of the law' interpretations.

6. You are exempt from the rule entirely. Nobody else knows this but by acting contrary to the rule you risk exposing this knowledge to the world.

Now that Obsession has crossed the $400 million mark, I wanted to talk about some easter eggs and things we may have missed, that make such a fantastic low budget film even better. For basic context \[SPOILER ALERT\]

I will refer to Nikki as Wish Nikki whenever I mean the entity possessing and controlling Nikki.

1. Wish Nikki is not obsessed with Bear in any human way at all. It is an entity who's sole purpose is to love bear and make sure he loves her unconditionally. It has no grasp of the realities or logic of human love. In the first 2/3rds of the movie, Wish Nikki knows that Bear loves his cat, and in an attempt to gain his love emulates cat like behaviours and movements.

For example - In the 3:45 AM scene where she was watching bear sleep, she moves like a cat. Some people have pointed out that she waits by the door for bear to come back home, literally not moving for hours while he was at work. In her vomit, you can see undigested cat kibble.

2. Throughout the movie, Barker amply hints that Bear has a true connection with Sarah, one that he never had with either Nikki or Wish Nikki. After Wish Nikki murdered Sarah and was supposed to dump the body, she scalps Sarahs hair and tattoos and wears it to try and win Bear's affection by literally 'becoming' her.

3. Throughout the movie, Nikki always appears on the right of Bear and Sarah is always on his left. This subtle easter egg became super obvious when Sarah says "You were supposed to kiss me, because I was on your left".

4. Nikki's last name was Freeman. Ironic since she spent most of the movie a slave to Bear's obsession with her and what he forced her to endure even when he knew it wasn't her.

5. The creepy Hansel and Gretel inspired monologue by Wish Nikki was Nikki's way of trying to reach out to Bear and her friends by trying to convey that she thought of Bear as a brother and was being twisted and controlled as the verses progressed to be about incestuous, obsessive sexual relationship.

6. During a brief bedroom scene right after Bear makes his wish, we can see the clock shows 16:55. This wouldn't make sense considering the lighting did not reflect any time similar to that. However, 1655 was the year of the first judicial ruling that legally recognised a person as property for life. It shows up on screen right when Nikki permanently loses herself to Bear's possessiveness.

7. The customer service worker for the One Wish Willow is actually voiced by Curry Barker himself.
