Another point for the hair style

Maybe don't charge $145 for a digital product. Maybe charge $50, and sell it to 5x the people. It quite literally costs nothing (okay, pedantically, the tiniest fraction) to sell more units.

I'd play an okay Star Wars game for $50 day 1. Wouldn't you?

And then when it goes on sale, loads of people would pay $20 on a 60% sale price next year. Whose paying $60 at a 60% off sale for a year old okay Star Wars game? No one. Not one soul.

Oh, you can get it cheaper for subscribing to Ubisoft+. Fuck off with that bullshit, do you even hear yourself?

Appealing to the highest global polluters by illuminating the damage to third world countries?

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

Also, if you're not going to play it this week, think twice! And, if you're not going to play it this month, think a third time!

Unless the person is the kind of person to decline a drink on the grounds that "it's only Thursday", "a couple of drinks a week" is likely either more than the person thinks or they (consciously of subconsciously) are downplaying how much it really is.

Similarly, I plan on double crossing the mafia so Thin Lips Johnny can chop me up and feed me to the pigs. Circle of life.

Using the median wage to prove life is good is like using the median temperature of mass in the solar system to to prove its hot.

Spoiler: it's fucking not.

The problem is we talk about the economy in terms like "revenue" "profit" or "prices".

We need to change the language of the economy to appeal to its true creed: line go up. It's Economics 101. Line go up, forever.

Hence, I propose we talk about the cost of things on units of "not getting fucked"

Use phrases like, "the not getting fucked on tomato sauce has been dropping lately"

Cut your fingernails way too short, then try to pick up something small. Not even with the nail part.

The hard flat back gives your flesh something to press up against when pinching. Imagine pulling a hair out of your arm with your fingers. Easy, right? Now imagine pulling a hair out of your arm with your lips.

As to why they grow and wear out and break, what the hell else should they be made of? Hands take a beating and you're better off with a material that grows back when it's worn away.

And finally, why do we have toenails? Mostly because they used to be leg hands. Your toenails actually grow about 3 times slower than fingernails, so that might be evidence of how much less useful they are to us.
