  • Sure, why wouldn’t they? You can’t really convince me that ‘taking away’ ownership from the founder is a big deal… by the time a company’s net worth is high enough to give him a billion dollars worth of stock, that company has far more than just him alone making the company worth that much. You also can’t really say that the janitor is less of a deal than any other random employee and thus deserves no stock… It takes everyone to make things work.

    As to the actual ‘value’ of the company, and therefore the owner’s worth? Ask him how much he wants for his shares, and he is forced to sell at that amount for say, the next 6 months if people want the stock. This prevents him from giving a ridiculously low value and gaming the system so he doesn’t have the net worth he truly does, because it would trigger a rush of people buying the stock for such a good deal, and it also prevents him from giving a ridiculously high number to manipulate people into buying stock, as it would push the net worth too high.

    Would that idea work for every company? I know there would be issues with implementation. Is it the owner that gets asked the stock price? The board? A shareholder meeting? The employees of the company? Each would have its downsides, and manipulation possibilities.

    I don’t know, mate, these are just things off the top of my head. I’m sure with some serious thought from people much more in tune with these concepts than I am, we’d have a good framework to go off of.






  • Body armor typically covers from around the belly button to around the manubrium of the sternum. The reason I don’t think the body armor thing is true true is because of the indents just under the breast/nipple area. Unless the vest is reeeally shaped like that, those curves would not show up. I think back to when I was wearing body armor and remember a pretty obvious line on the front portion where there was an obtuse angle formed as the shirt met the stiff portion and cascaded downwards, but no odd curves where the shirt was pulled tight after that, just wrinkles and folds where the fabric was loose.

    Now, that being said, if this is super light body armor (and he’s probably enough of an idiot to wear a level I vest and think it’s enough), those might show up. The oddities on the back of the shirt do make it appear that something is going on underneath. The thick black line where the shirt is folding inwards could be because of the bottom of a vest, as it lies just around the level of the navel, as you’d expect with body armor. Just in front of the left elbow is another dark patch, which could be due to the fabric being pushed outwards around the location where the straps attach.








  • Try Dynasty Warriors. It’s a genre I don’t see much anymore, but you take control of a general and blast through tons of minions in a big battlefield, aiming for enemy generals to turn the tide of battle (reflected in overall ‘morale’).

    All the games tell the same story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Obviously just play the last one available, because it has all the quality of life improvements, but I’ll only play 3, because it’s the only one that has Gan Ning with his super-pimp sword resting on top of his super-pimped no shirt tats.
