Low iq retard: wtf is this trash
Big brain riddim fan: To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Polyriddim. The layout is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical music theory most the the song will go over a typical viewers head. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this song to realize they are not just cool, but say something deep about life. As a consequence people who dislike Polyriddim are TRULY idiots, of course they wouldnt appreciate, for instance the genius in the ding sound of the song. Next level. Im smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion at the time change. What fools, I pity you. Only people within 5 IQ points of my own vat intellect can enjoy Polyriddim.

Polybius 

According to urban legend, Polybius was a strange arcade game, similair to Tempest which brainwashed those who played it and was placed in arcades by a shady branch of the federal government. All retellings have a different agency, from the CIA, to the NSA, to the FBI, to even forign agencies like the KGB. In reality - at least, according to a former Atari employee - Polybius was a name for one of the early Betas of Tempest, and was tested in a few arcades. The game was known to cause Vertigo and Motion Sickness, and as such was pulled immediately.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
