I agree, but I struggle to put my finger on why. Is it their refusal to use any other words for Truman or The Truman Show? That read as really repetitive to me.

A lot of comedy/skit shows are like that. We take the good with the bad I guess

I know it’s not what you meant, but I giggled at the thought of James May in Texas with a big cowboy hat saying “oh cock”

The first example I thought of was Bill Gates. He amassed his wealth from a corporation that employed anti-competitive and immoral business practices. That makes him “bad”.

But what he has done with his fortune in the past few decades definitely doesn’t make him a bad person. Is his foundation and its goals the most efficient way to go from point A to point B? Probably not. Does that make him a bad person? Probably not, but it also doesn’t absolve him of sins he committed in the past.

“The dotcom bubble burst when capital began to dry up. In the years preceding the bubble, record-low interest rates, the adoption of the Internet, and interest in technology companies allowed capital to flow freely, especially to startup companies that had no track record of success.”

This is about 2001, but applies equally as well to 2023.

Rates needed to rise before it was going to come to pass.

Hey wait I’ve seen this one before!

Feels like NA teams are always put in the same group? Most teams probably wanted to be in Vit/NIP's position but the groups look pretty well balanced otherwise.

Cool! What tools did you use?

Yeah agreed. There are a lot of reasons why an IGL might not work for a given group, but how many chances does someone get before they need to re-prove themselves in T2?

I don’t think anything’s confirmed yet, I was going off rumours I had seen.

For sure, I wouldn’t be surprised. But I don’t want to see someone fail just for the sake of being right.
