it’s funny to think that if this happened today thousands of chuds online would rush to call Kojima woke and pandering to the cringe left or something when in reality Olga almost certainly has armpit hair because it gave Kojima a boner

Me on every subway ride like: why is this so satisfying 😭🚆

난 이렇게 생긴 일본 브라들을 평생 이해할 수 없겠지... 한국인3 일본인1 이렇게 논 적 있는데 한국인 셋은 다 검정색 민무늬 브라고 일본인만 이런 브라였음

For 12 years, every major winner of McDonald's Monopoly was a fraud. The game was rigged by the one man hired to prevent rigging. > McDonald's Monopoly launched in 1987. > Peel a game piece off your fries or drink. Match the right properties. Win up to $1 million. > The promotion was massive. Tens of MILLIONS of game boards distributed in magazines alone. > McDonald's poured massive marketing behind it. > By law, McDonald's couldn't run its own contest. > A third party company called Simon Marketing handled the game pieces. > The man in charge of security at Simon Marketing was Jerome P. Jacobson. > Former cop. Everyone called him Uncle Jerry. > His job was to make sure nobody stole the winning pieces. > He stole the winning pieces. > Starting in 1989, Jacobson figured out how to swap the high value game pieces during transit. > He would duck into an airport bathroom stall, break the tamper proof seal on the case, pocket the winners, and reseal it. > He got away with it because a supplier accidentally sent him a sheet of the tamper proof seals directly. > That mistake gave him 12 years. > At first he gave the pieces to friends and family. His step brother. His nephew. People he trusted. > Then it grew. > Jacobson started selling winning pieces to strangers for a cut of the prize. > His network eventually included mobsters, strip club owners and a members of the Colombo crime family. > One family connected to Jacobson's network claimed three separate $1 million prizes plus a Dodge Viper. > Jacobson apparently even anonymously mailed a $1 million winning piece to St. Jude Children's Hospital. > McDonald's honoured it and paid out the full amount over 20 years. > The total stolen was over $24 MILLION in cash and prizes across 12 years. > In 2000, the FBI got an anonymous tip about a man called "Uncle Jerry" rigging the contest. > They looked at the winner list. Almost every major winner lived within 25 miles of Jacobson's house. > The FBI convinced McDonald's to run the contest one more time. Wiretapped Jacobson's phone. > Intercepted the name of the next $1 million winner before he even claimed it. > Then they posed as a McDonald's film crew and interviewed the fake winner on camera. Let him tell his entire made up story about how he found the piece. > Three weeks later, Jacobson was arrested in an early morning raid. > The trial began September 10, 2001. The next day was 9/11. > One of the biggest corporate fraud cases in fast food history got buried under the biggest news story of the century. > Over 50 people convicted. Jacobson got 37 months. He was the only one who served more than a year. > Every time you peeled a game piece off your fries and lost, the fix was already in. The winning pieces were in Uncle Jerry's pocket before the food hit the tray.

College students are now “speed-running” through higher ed: “It takes most college students at least four years to earn a bachelor’s degree. Christie Williams finished in three months.”

If Capcom's goal with Pragmata was to make everyone who plays this game want to be a parent, then they've done an amazing job. I always sit back when Diana starts playing and think to myself "so this is what is like having a daughter" She's so cute
