I know that’s what they try to teach you in math in school, but absolutely nobody does it that way in practice, making it just wrong to teach it.

Either interpretation is valid, though. Either one is an absurd amount of gifts, I would not put it past the gifter to have made an extravagant display of re-giving the stuff from days before each day.

Wasn’t this news weeks ago? Is this something new?

He doesn’t need to name a successor. His followers just need to be convinced that he named one.

This is gonna be like the metaverse. It’s gonna get hyped up by all news sources like it’s the next big thing, but nobody will actually care or use it.
