Look up furry groups around you. Start at the closest major city and work up. No, you don't have to be a furry to go to one. The reason why I'm suggesting it is because furries are some of the most welcoming and accepting people you'll ever meet (I'm totally not biased tho). Chances are they'll be some of the best friends you've ever had; so long as you're as accepting as them. They also tend to have a wide array of interests, with tech and tech accessories being one of the most common.

Edit: There are furry groups for car enthusiasts, arcades, rock climbing, horror enthusiasts, roller skating, skateparks, six flags and other stuff, all in my area. So, no, you kinda don't need to be a furry because the meetups range from furry specific to more general interests.

Didn't someone come up with an alternative model that said that, because galaxies vary in mass, time must also varies between galaxies; and said model was able to predict the effects of dark matter and dark energy?

Edit: it seems like a painfully obvious statement, which is why it confused me when I first read it. Like, no shit time is gonna vary between galaxies due to differences in mass.

Riiiiiight. They can't afford a car and can barely pay rent despite being split between three of them, so they can definitely afford to move to Ohio.

I'm pretty sure it's a parody, but it'd be hilariously unhinged if it became real.

I know several people who work at Walmart. I wouldn't say they are stupid, but they're trapped in a shitty situation where they all rely on public transportation (in Texas) to get to work, which means Walmart is one of the only options.

I'm screaming. It's perfect. I want it so bad, but it's so expensive. How come rich people get to live in zoo enclosures? How come rich people get to live in natural history museums? Fuck you, I wanna live there. Literally me_irl:

Oh my god I forgot about those. I unironically loved them.

Wow. While I wouldn't say it made me laugh, that is pretty well done. Garfield being like, "I don't fucking care, give me lasagna, Jean" is pretty on-point.

Edit: granted, that kinda is Garfield's entire personality, but it would have been so easy to have Garfield ignore Jean's request and focus entirely on the lasagna.

Tbf, a lot of major AAA companies nowadays can probably afford to have a $500m loss. The thing that gets me, however, is that it wouldn't even be a $500m loss. Just because you don't make money doesn't mean it's a total loss, it just means you didn't cover your costs.

At what point is the loss worth the knowledge of what did or didn't work?

At what point is the loss worth having made the thing, because you were doing something no one else had done on a massive budget, even though you didn't cover your original costs?

Is $50m a reasonable loss?

$100m?

That's where things get complicated and if all you do is look at spreadsheets then you're going to miss the fact that your attempt was still worth something, even if it didn't actually make money.

These companies tend to have cash cows to offset the losses too. Keep developing and supporting your CoDs, Candy Crushes, and League of Legends so you can drop $500m on a high-risk, high-reward release. C'mon, do something interesting... Are you really unable to make up for a potential +$100m loss when you have Candy Crush making billions for you?
