Nice! Thanks for sharing

Early buyers of the original iPhone got money back like six months later when the price was cut. I believe around $200

Surprised to see no mentions of Guild Wars 2 among all the discussion about WoW and FFXIV

I think in many ways Guild Wars kept the innovation going better than World of Warcraft. They also made it easy to level up doing your preferred activities rather than grinding “kill 5 kobold” quests. The combat is a lot more action-filled as well with the dodge mechanic and spells that don’t need to be channeled.

I think a lot of their ability to add these improvements came from selling the game as free-to-play with one time purchases so there isn’t as much reason to force you to grind every single day for monthly subscriber growth

Taylor Swift lost the rights to her music to her earlier label in a bitter dispute and ended to re-recording the songs to gain control of them

No they just spent less while schools were closed during Covid

This isn't true. it is the result of record tax collection, not savings or cost cutting. California token record taxes each year during the pandemic

Comcast, AT&T, the DMV… I can think of a lot of businesses that struggle with customer service

Better to check in on Google Maps rather than Foursquare so you keep your history when the small companies pivot away or abandon the service. It is bizarre to me that Foursquare didn’t keep it going though

I’d be surprised if they touch the WoW cash cow and make it free with Game Pass. It would be a bold move

Perhaps they could roll something like WoW Classic into game pass, but leave retail unchecked.

WeBull has the best mobile app hands down. Robinhood is the “simplest” I guess but is much less useful

Because why?

Literally use it for 5 minutes and you’ll understand.

1. Excellent watch list functionality including showing pre-market change separately from regular hours change.

2. Automatic alerts when any stock hits a new 52 week high or low as well a 5 or 10% move in either direction

3. Ability to trade starting at 4 AM which is at least 3 hours earlier than almost every other brokerage. This allows for earlier trades on big news.

4. Best mobile charts including the ability to show candlesticks with numerous indicators at many timescales. You’re not stuck with the bare Robinhood charts.

5. Excellent market information section showing top movers, highest volume, upcoming earnings, breaking news

6. Detailed information on large inflows and outflows for every stock

I have many more but I’ll start there because the charts and watch list alone make it easily better than the competition.

I use ACH and Venmo all the time for no fees. Do you mean the tiny electricity fee that they pay on my behalf of maybe $0.01? Sure seems like a great deal compared to the multiple dollars (sometimes over $50) charged by Bitcoin and friends
