[@danielandree3947]

Conspiracy theory… They did so, because the person was name JK, and they are placating to the lgbtq+ community, because they legit hate anything with JK since it reminds them of JK Rowling, and how much of a “transphobe” that she is…. And they preemptively did it, so they didn’t lose all of the sales from the lgbtq+ community and all of their supporters, who can and would have mistaken it for jk Rowling, and transphobia…. 🫢🫢🫢🫢🫢

I haven't watched yet but I KNOW Atrioc is ready to announce his new coffee growing business using innovative bovine farming techniques

[@jchrizzy6995]

Everyone thinks “Big A” means “Big Atrioc” but it doesn’t. It really means “Big Agriculture”. Leading scholars in the field have been using this new term, “Big A”, to describe the ‘Big Affect’ of the new bovine driven farming techniques Big A himself brought to the coffee industry. With revolutionary new yoke technologies developed by Coffee Cow Industries teamed with experts at Google and NASA this brand new startup is already worth $69420 billion dollars and is expected to grow exponentially even in this declining economy. Apple has reportedly sued Brandon Ewing, Google, NASA, and the associates at Coffee Cow Industries for monopoly, seemingly in fear if losing market share to the startup.

[@numero8035]

What's going on I'm invested?

[@Hexoner14]

@@numero8035 Wizards of the Coast, the creators of D&D and owned by Hasbro, was planning to change their Open Game License (OGL 1.0a), which had allowed third party creators to create content for D&D and keep the D&D community alive for all these years. Their new license (OGL 1.1) would force creators to not only pay royalties on revenue (not profit), but also force them to hand over the content they created to Wizards of the Coast. Obviously, fans were very much unhappy with the new OGL given how important third party content is to the D&D and they started to mass unsubscribe from the D&D Beyond site which caused Wizards of the Coast to pretty much not only immediately stop pushing for OGL 1.1, but also put a fair amount of official D&D content into a Creative Commons License.

[@junegeeitisahardgfulmer7911]

Oh yes, right! Speaking of shooting themselves in the foot and losing goodwill…

I've realized Atrioc is very much business minded in the sense that he thinks like a business. Very much about numbers, and while it is true he makes you laugh or may laugh at your jokes don't be tricked. He is not your friend and someone who just sees numbers and real world implications. Besides that I find him awfully affable and is quite the character. Keep up the great work Big A.

Brazilian here, just to add on the brazil and argentina currency, it’s not supposed to be a south american euro, our countries will keep using peso and real, the new currency will be used as a substitute for the dollar. Both of our countries are highly dependent on our dollar reserves and cotations, so using a currency to substitute it could create a new dynamic and quite possibly empower south america as a region. That being said, we are still just studying the possibility of having that currency, it’s not 100% gonna happen.

Avian Influenza outbreak (not to be confused with Bird Flu which is transmittable to humans) in the US and other countries is causing the increase in egg prices.
