- I can't shake the feeling that there's gotta be a reality check at some point, but I wouldn't want to short it on a feeling. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 13:08 2
  - earnings date is oct 28. I legitimately don't know what I'm gonna do. We're well past rational already. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 13:09 1
    - 10th (sorry, 7th!) largest company in the US by market cap. Insane! -- nm* - Reagen Aug 31, 13:11

- If he plays this right he can end up tricking them into renaming it the Trump Sewage Plant. -- nm - Max Aug 31, 12:58

"PS5 Won't Be Backwards Compatible With PS3, PS2, Or PS1, Says Ubisoft" - David Aug 31, 12:43 7

  - he was the longest career 'straight' man in p0rn, but he went from hedgehog to warthog -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 31, 13:12
  - There’s a lot of sexual assault because the fantasy is women being objects to screw all day; it sets the expectations that is all women - Will Hunting Aug 31, 13:10 2
    - Wait - he's accused by colleagues (for lack of a better word)? That makes more sense. nm -- nm - John Murphy, Awesome Aug 31, 13:13 1
