Quotes

"MGMT finally forayed with their first single, 'Time to Pretend' -- an understated anthem among inhabitants of Athens." – Julia Norman (Spin.com)[7]

gollark: Probably.
gollark: Because Noerdy keeps changing around the names.
gollark: "Solved" until someone works out tax evasion.
gollark: The funny thing is that the *real* markets this is... vaguely based on... don't suffer problems remotely similar to this. I mean, high-frequency trading is a thing, but there's a lot of manual investing because you need to actually think.
gollark: Which will just destroy profitability of most investing.
