Wendy Williams' Cat Reveals Her 'Mom's Plans For This Weekend - Read The Funny Message

Wendy Williams shared a photo on her social media account featuring a cat on a bag and, judging by the caption of the photo, it’s Wendy’s kitty. The funny thing is that Wendy captioned the photo as if the cat were talking. Just check out the funny caption below.
The cat also seems to have blue nail polish on her little claws, according to some fans, but it appears that the kitty actually has claw caps on.
This is an alternative to cutting the cat’s claws in order to prevent scratching everything in your home. Wendy Williams' Cat Reveals Her 'Mom's Plans For This Weekend - Read The Funny Message.
It also seems that the cat’s name is Myway!
‘“Hi everybody, it’s me Myway! Mom’s bags are always ready cause it’s the holidays. Me & Chitchat like it best when she’s here, but we understand. We heard her talkin on the phone about somebody named Puffy & his 50th birthday party this weekend. Mom said to tell him a happy birthday, but she can’t go. We love that she’s gonna be home with the US❤”’ SWendy captioned the post.
Someone asked: ‘How you doin’ Myway? I don’t know who is more gorgeous. You or your sister? Ok, so both of you are equally beautiful! No comparisons. Tell your Mom I asked her “How are you doing?” πŸ˜„πŸ‘πŸ½πŸŒ·
A shocked follower said: ‘Did you paint your cat’s nails Wendy???? How are you doing?? I’m loving the new animal lover free-spirited life your living xo.’
One other fan wrote: ‘Does anyway have on blue nail polish??😍’ to which another commenter answered that these are claw caps for cats.
One other Instagrammer had another idea for Wendy: ‘I Think She should Go To the Party it’s PDiddy And it’s Gonna Be Lit πŸ”₯ Wendy Go To That Party πŸŽ‰ And NJOY Yourself ♥️’
Wendy was recently in the spotlight when she defended Kourtney Kardashian after her sisters accused her of sharing too little of her personal life on KUWK.

Rocket League Gives Consumers An Example Of Price Anchoring With Recent Price Drop

Rocket League has recently done away with the crate system, opting instead for a tremendously pricey blueprint system that had many fans scratching their heads in terms of arbitrary price points affixed to various item rarities.  With the number of items readily available for trade on Rocket League trading websites being exchanged for 10% of what the item costs to put together, decryptors now being a thing of the past, and almost everything costing money, the game is now suffering in the eyes of its long-time fans.

Today, Psyonix has dropped the price of many of their items ‘in direct response to audience feedback’.  Although this move was predicted by many on Reddit and Twitter, that Psyonix and Epic would drop item prices after predictable outrage, to assure fans that they were being listened to.

Granted, the prices have dropped greatly.

Rare: 50 – 100 Credits
Very Rare: 100-200 Credits
Import: 300-500 Credits
Exotic: 700-800 Credits
With each credit costing $0.01, it’s still far cheaper to trade for items that you want than to participate in the new item shop.

This is interesting primarily due to it being a readily available example of price anchoring, as it’s known in the business.  When bringing a new product to market, or perhaps refreshing the price points, the business has the responsibility of figuring out what a fair market price would be.  Ensuring a fair market price encourages consumers to buy, interacting with the business and products that ideally result in further purchases.

Admittedly, it’s very difficult to get right.  Too low, and the business becomes stagnant in terms of profit or leaves money on the table.  Too high, and you face consumer backlash, a lack of sales, and worst-case-scenario of your customers leaving for another business.

Price anchoring levies this difficult balance in favor of psychology.  The business comes out with exorbitant prices (like USD $24 for a skin, in Rocket League’s case), that causes planned backlash.  The exorbitant prices still catch a couple of consumers who are actually willing to pay the high price.  Then, the company capitulates, says something about listening to feedback, and drops them to a price that would still be higher than most would like.

However, the price was firmly anchored already as expensive; there’s less backlash about the actual planned price being higher than others would like, as the company has already capitulated.  Consumers look at this as a fantastic deal when they would have otherwise scoffed at the notion of paying so high a price. Rocket League Gives Consumers An Example Of Price Anchoring With Recent Price Drop.

Many fans on Reddit and Twitter are maintaining a ‘no-purchase’ policy moving forward with Psyonix out of frustration.

Those who have spent money to receive credits to receive an item (whew), will receive the difference in credits back to their in-game wallet.  The money is gone.



Whether this newest confusion comes from Psyonix or Epic is currently a point of contention among fans, although one thing is sure; fans are furious with them both.

Elder Scrolls Online Teams Up With Streamers For #SlayDragonsSaveCats Charity Event

Elder Scrolls Online launched the #SlayDragonsSaveCats charity event in October. By slaying dragons across Tamriel, gamers can accomplish two things: get rid of the dragons rampaging through the area and help animals. Elder Scrolls Online Teams Up With Streamers For #SlayDragonsSaveCats Charity Event.
ESO has teamed up with Best Friends Animal Society and Four Paws for this event.
ESO has pledged to donate $1 for every five dragons that are killed during the event. The maximum donation amount is $200,000.
Dragons are located in Northern and Southern Elsweyr plus within the Scalebreaker DLC.
As the deadline approaches, ESO has announced a special event until December 8. Their official Twitch account is hosting a week-long live stream event to support both charities.
The events come with bonuses for those who watch. Players must have their ESO account linked to Twitch to claim their prize. When the $1,000 threshold is met, ESO is giving away Wolf pets to random donators. When it reaches $2,500 in donations, five random donators will receive Legendary Dragon Horse mounts. The $7,500 in donations gives a chance to win a physical prize: three Wrathstone tablets to three random donators.
If the donation goal meets $10,000, then one donator will receive a Gaming Heads Breton statue.
The ESO team is also joining in on the fun. For every $25 donation, one of the hosts will eat a Bean Boozled jellybean. For $50, a host will wear a temporary cat tattoo plus write the donator’s name on an Elsweyr lithograph. The image will be hung at the ESO studio. Every $75 donation will take on a variety of gameplay challenged, like playing blindfolded, inverting mouse settings, and more.
Any streamer can participate by signing up for either the Best Friends Animal Society or Four Paws campaign on the official ESO website. Any participating streamer that raises $100 will receive a free Legendary Dragon Wolf pet. Streamers who reach $500 in donations will be awarded a signed Elsweyr lithograph.
During the ESO live stream, anyone with their accounts linked can win a random crate. These crates hold different items and sometimes rare mounts and pets. Any streamer with “Drops” listed in their live stream tag is valid. When gamers win a drop, they’ll be emailed a unique code to redeem in the in-game Crown Store.
The ESO #SlayDragonsSaveCats charity event concludes on December 9.

Hailey Baldwin Slams Social Media For Being ‘Toxic’ Amid Supposed Selena Gomez Beef

Hailey Baldwin has joined the long line of performers and entertainers who dislike social media. Earlier this week – claims Us Magazine -Hailey Baldwin Slams Social Media For Being 'Toxic' Amid Supposed Selena Gomez Beef, Selena Gomez.
Speaking with reporters from British Vogue on December 4th, the 23-year-old stated that social media was a “breeding ground for toxicity” and for people who like to create problems between other influencers. Moreover, she described it as a platform where people try to get women to compete against one another.
As it was previously reported, the 27-year-old songstress just released a brand new song called “Lose You To Love Me,” back in October. It was a song people on social media wholly believed revolved around Selena’s ex-boyfriend, Justin, and his new wife, Hailey.
Following the song’s release, Hailey posted a screenshot on her Instagram Story of the song, “I’ll Kill You,” written by Summer Walker and JhenΓ© Aiko. People thought it had something to do with Selena’s new song.
On the 23rd of October, the Drop the Mic co-host denied rumors she had posted the song on her IG platform as a way of saying something to Selena. A source who spoke with Us Magazine stated, however, that Selena’s song was kind of about Justin, but not completely.
It appears as though Hailey is being truthful when she stated there is no problem at all between her and Selena. Earlier this year, in November, just before the American Music Awards, Hailey liked an Instagram video of Gomez showing off her look just before going on stage.
Another insider who spoke with Us alleged that Hailey doesn’t feel there is an issue at all with Gomez. Moreover, she wasn’t worried about the release of the song either, because frankly, artists create all kinds of songs all the time, with many different meanings.
As it was previously reported, Gomez and Justin dated intermittently for many years, from 2011 all the way until 2018. The couple got married in a New York City courthouse in September 2018.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are hair extensions and how do they work?
hair professionals are, unlike a wig, hairpieces that come in rows or chunks that you install into your hair to change the appearance. You can use them to make your hair longer or to add in color or texture that your hair doesn’t already have. You can even match your hair with the extensions to make your hair fuller and more voluminous. You can install them in a variety of ways and they will last for a variety of length depending on your method and quality. You can clip them into your hair for a single day and reuse them later, or tape them in and keep them secure in your hair for a few weeks, or have them more professionally sewn or glued in for the hair to stay in for as much as a few months. Extensions for your hair will give a more realistic and convincing appearance than a wig (we’ve reviewed the best wigs in a separate post) and they will give you a lot more freedom in your styling choices. They can be real hair or synthetic and, depending on which you choose, you may even be able to style them as you would your own hair.
How long do hair extensions last for?
How long your hair extensions last depends on the type and the installation. The range of use is as varied as is the style options. If you have clip in extensions, you won’t wear them for more than a day, maybe two if you’re careful. Tape in hair extensions will last quite a bit longer, maybe up to four to six weeks. (Please note, though: You will need to be careful with your tape ins to allow them to last that long. If you take no extra precautions with your hair, definitely expect them to last around a month.) Hair bundles that are sewn into your hair will last much longer, indeed. In fact, the only reason they’re going to come out is if you physically remove them and that makes it up to you. You can expect even with slowly growing hair to wear sewn in extensions (or weaves) for six to eight weeks at least. It’s very common to have extensions sewn in for a seasonal hair style. For example, “Summer Hair” may be a shorter cut that you can get wet and won’t be too heavy in the dog days of summer and a “Winter Hair” will commonly be longer.
If, however, you’re curious how long the hair will last before shedding and fraying, then the answer will depend on the quality of the hair extensions you purchase. Real human hair will, of course, last longer than synthetic (and they will cost more, too). A stronger or thicker weft will result in longer term use while remaining gorgeous. You will need to complete proper maintenance on the hair, no matter what type to ensure optimal longevity.

Facebook Gives Workers a Chatbot to Appease That Prying Uncle

SAN FRANCISCO — Some Facebook employees recently told their managers that they were concerned about answering difficult questions about their workplace from friends and family over the holidays.
What if Mom or Dad accused the social network of destroying democracy? Or what if they said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, was collecting their online data at the expense of privacy?
So just before Thanksgiving, Facebook rolled out something to help its workers: a chatbot that would teach them official company answers for dealing with such thorny questions. filtertechnik.mobi
If a relative asked how Facebook handled hate speech, for example, the chatbot — which is a simple piece of software that uses artificial intelligence to carry on a conversation — would instruct the employee to answer with these points:
  • Facebook consults with experts on the matter.
  • It has hired more moderators to police its content.
  • It is working on A.I. to spot hate speech.
  • Regulation is important for addressing the issue.
It would also suggest citing statistics from a Facebook report about how the company enforces its standards.
The answers were put together by Facebook’s public relations department, parroting what company executives have publicly said.
And the chatbot has a name: the “Liam Bot.” (The provenance of the name is unclear.)
“Our employees regularly ask for information to use with friends and family on topics that have been in the news, especially around the holidays,” a Facebook spokeswoman said. “We put this into a chatbot, which we began testing this spring.”
Facebook’s reputation has been shredded by a string of scandals — including how the site spreads disinformation and can be used to meddle in elections — in recent years. In October, Mr. Zuckerberg was grilled by lawmakers for hours over everything from political advertising to work-force diversity.
For Facebook employees, that has sometimes led to questions from family and friends about why they would work for the Silicon Valley company. This year, Facebook fell to seventh place from the top spot when people were asked where they most wanted to work, according to a survey by Glassdoor, the employee reviews site.
Facebook announced the Liam Bot in a message to employees, the company said. In past years, Facebook provided employees with guidance for the holiday season by sharing news releases in internal groups, or directly with those who asked for advice. The company said it wanted to create a more efficient way to answer employee questions this year.
