Remember how hard the cable companies fought a la carte selections? Notice how much I'm paying for multiple streaming services to get history, science, cycling and anime without the golf, WWF and 700 club?

Curious. When I *describe* the style of ttrpg I like to play, I often use the phrase "improv story telling" but when I *label* it I say "role playing game".
So, I'm with you. I think they're watering down in a counterproductive way.

My wife and I have shifted back to Eastern Time sleep, so we're watching the Friday rebroadcast at noon.

End executive pay in securities. Pay them cash from the balance. If they want stock they can buy it like anyone else.

I'm with George, despite not liking GoT at all. If you got a book when you paid for a book, his obligation to you is complete.
He owes no one anything that's not in a contract and that doesn't include the readers.

Mrs McGovern was both behind and ahead of her time. She had a Continental model of teaching: French instead of Chinese or Japanese, but she had a very liberal arts view of early childhood education: a lot of repetition and memorization, but modern in that she used song and rhyme and group recitation

Oh I wish we'd had one. I had preschool in the 60s with French immersion because Mrs McGovern thought all kids should learn another language

Meh. Like what you like "good" has never had anything to do with it. "Quality" is how snobs boost their egos.

CEOs who want to own stock should have to buy it. Require companies to pay officers in cash. No more funny money. You can only pay them with money you have. Incentivize officers for profits, not growth.
