Reply to comment by No_Choice_Is_Choice in Tyler Perry to donate $2.5M to help older Atlanta homeowners by AmethystOrator
It's for back property taxes and future property taxes for older individuals on fixed incomes. It should benefit them for about 5 years. The article says all of this.
It's not bad that he's trying to help. I honestly feel like the scope of this is too small to get much publicity, and the amount is probably what he needed to donate in order to avoid some taxes, given the timing.
I'm sure he's no saint, but there are a lot of rich people doing a lot of shitty stuff, so at least this is helping some people and doesn't necessarily harm anyone. I don't really think his films matter much in this scenario. You can just say you don't like him, lol.

Reply to Strangers Befriend Man with Down Syndrome After Mom Offers to Pay Someone to Spend Time with Him: 'Heaven' by afterburners_engaged
My dear Aunt had Down’s syndrome. She was wonderful, quirky, silly, spirited …We grew up spending lots of time together but had considerable age differences which didn’t matter. This story tugs at my heart. She loved life and lived a long one given her circumstances. Life was better then. The good ole days of my youth. Sending Love

$6200 each.

Publicity stunt of the cheapest sort.
Also his films are shit...like true shit.

It's helping 400 people. Everything helps, but it feels really similar to a neighbor bringing buckets of water to your house while the fire department is there not putting out the fire. It's like... 'thanks man, I really just need them to start working'.

Sorry but a man with a net worth of a billion donating 2.5 mill is a pittance....like throwing pennies in the street and making sure everyone knows what a great guy he is.
Fucking pathetic.

As for the random viral video from the 43yr old, that's also what tik tok does. It'll push posts onto the 'for you page' and it's really hit or miss what launches, she got lucky. It totally happens like, a lot. *edit: missed a word

Sure, a valid perspective as that totally IS one of the many facets of the app just like Facebook, or Reddit. Personally I enjoy gardening and farmsteading accounts on tik tok. The algorithm will do its thing. If you don't actively watch or like videos of underage children, you won't see it! Wild stuff.

Bloomberg said more than half of produced cars will be EV by 2030. Does that seem realistic?

So we basically need good relations with South Africa and Taiwan to supply us for EV cars… because those two areas control a large portion of said resources

The ICE bans in place are for 2035, and even then only for new sales. I think we've got plenty of time to figure out alternatives for the edge cases where ICE stuff is still used.

That’s all it takes to get the first ~50 views which is the first and only hurdle you can control. Where it goes from there depends entirely on the engagement of those first organic viewers.

>The police have never seen anything like it - but FBI forensic anthropologist Christine Prusik has. In fact, it’s a ritual she knows all too well. Years ago she was a naive young researcher doing fieldwork in Papua New Guinea when she was attacked by tribesmen who placed carved stones inside the bodies of their dead. Prusik barely escaped with her life - and a nasty scar from the wound intended to house her own death charm. Is it a grisly coincidence? Or is someone sending her a message? Now she must find the killer before he finds her - and finally completes the deadly ritual begun in a distant jungle so long ago.

This is true. The only thing I know about TikTok is that my teenage daughter avoids it because, in her own words, "it's just a bunch of teenage girls posting dance videos and the pedophiles that follow them." Thus my surprise at a 40 year old woman getting 43 million views posting about literature.

Make the video 19-45 seconds long with two-part text. Add the right hashtag/description to get it categorized as Crime and Book related. Then have your main account and 10-15 friends like the video, comment on it, and reshare it.
That’ll be enough to put it on several strangers people’s for-you page who have an interest in Crime and Book categories.

Reply to Economist: War and subsidies may have knocked as much as ten years off green transition by 10drinkminimum
There's an economic phenomenon where historically places with certain resource scarcity tend to become stronger super powers (Due to stronger working middle class rights). Resource rich Nations get ravaged with endless war until they become poverty struck. This is thought to be the reason why the US became a super power, yet the agriculture bountiful South America is an economically developing country to this day.
Gas scarcity is basically the same thing. Less availability = economy adapts. Though there is a lot of pain when you build you 50 years+ worth of econony around this.
