When I was a kid, my parents had a dog that was already getting up there in years, named Arthur. At some point it was explained to me that he was moving slowly and getting tired more quickly because of his arthritis.

I thought my dad was saying ‘Arthur-itis,’ as a way of saying the dog was getting old and frail. I discovered my mistake when we were at my grandmother’s and I blamed her taking an hour to get ready to go out for dinner on her ‘Nana-itis’

Theres an old conspiracy theory, pre smart phone, that it was about preventing terrorists using phones as missile guidance. Basically, if you see a cellphone jumping 1 tower to the next, you can tell speed by distance and time between towers’ coverage areas.

They didnt want phones on planes creating constant false positives theyd have to verify against flight logs, etc, and obviously didnt want to give enemies ideas ideas, hence the line about interference, but of interference were a likely hazard, theyd be locking up phones for the flight.

Where is this guy’s PR team? Seemingly every other thing he says involves directing roadkill, often the genitals. You’d think there would be someone around to tell him ‘normal people dont do that.’

Or at least that if he has to mention mutilating a corpse, to pause and add a dramatic “for science!” Afterward.

"RFK Jr once cut penis off ‘road-killed raccoon, for science!’ in New York? New book revealed’ sounds way less psychopathic

most people refer to them motherfuckers

His way is decidedly Freudian.

I think i headed off AI at my job.

Back when chat gpt was still new, the DOO of the 20 person company company i worked at sent out a employment contract out as a PDF asking us to esign. I replied-all back asking if it was intentional that there was a 3 year non-compete in the middle of a list of terms under a header stating

‘<state> is an at will state. The following terms of employmebt are revokeable by either party upon notice of termination of employment:’

The company owner replied back LOL to the group and that was the last of it. They never did actually end up asking us to sign an employment contract. Have yet to see any AI adoption, besides the office director occasionally responding to my emails based on mistakes she blames on the ai summary.

I think i disagree. ‘Bilionaires’ makes it seem seem like a nebulous group of individuals, like

‘oh <insert random billionaire who hadnt been in the news lately for something evil> just happens to have a ton of money, you can’t hold that against them without evaluating their actions as an individual’

The problem is that they are a class, or rather that the class exists as a class and that they are use their power, act as and are catered to, as a class.

If there were 100 individuals around the word who just happened to have assets valuing 1,000,000,000$ or more, even if they owned shitty companies companies and were all assholes, that would be one thing.

Assuming they not associate with each other, conspire together to warp society and governments to their shared wills etc, it would be a far different world.

If they were seen as just rare individuals, governments would not bend to their whims; one billionaire threatens to offshore his buisness unless he gets favorable laws, to ignore taxes etc, the country threatens to nationalism his buisness, or just locks his ass up. I one guy is found to be bribing one or countless politicians, thats a treasonous scandal.

When a couple dozen are making these threats in lockstep, they are holding the country’s economy hostage. And when between them they are bribing all the politicians, that becomes the staus quo.

its when they act as a class that its a real problem.

Oh. I thought you were talking about the women’s lack of arms compared to the men.

theres only like 6.5B usd worth of monero (compared to ~1Trilion BTC)

At 20Milion barrels of oil (/ dolars if its $1 a barrel) a day, theyd own all the monero within a year, meaning theyd have told pretty actively be selling it back onto the market for another currency to keep a supply for shippers to use. Compared to BTC where they’d need 136 years of hoarding to accumulate it all

I feel like they started with a real image and asked ai to clean it up, and add the shirt text, leading to things like the svedka’s V having the bottom cut off, and the camel logo looking all wavy.

The bottle labels on the bottles looks weirdly half AI

Espolon?

My parents bought a house for 75k in 1985. My nan put down 35k, and they lived in the MIL suite of the house for the summers for 3 years, and rented the main house for 5k a season, and my dad paid the last 25k out of his salary.

That house is worth 3.5 million now. Cheapest property ive seen go to market in my town was 950k and that was a literal 2 room beach shack with the only shower being outdoors.

I was thinking better expression of sympathy for the loved ones.

I think i ahould preface the following because it sounds more neutral than I meant it to. TBC I condone neither of these positions, nor do I mean this to be argumentative with your possition, but rather collaborative:

I suspect the objection is to the calling out of / reminder that destruction of water facilities as a war crime, which seems to be something both sides have done/ been threatening in the Iran war, as well as the call out to allow UN/ other humanitarian aid groups unfettered access in warzones. Which seems like it conflicts with Israel’s contentions with UNRWA.

Shit, make it a year.

Hes already done those. The next step is to impose his own blockade on the straight, and claim it doesnt matter what Iran does, America closed the straight until HIS demands are met!

In highschool, i played on a JV soccer team that 4 women on it. (We also had a women’s Varsity and JV teams, that did really well. We could hold our own against the men’s varsity team and could smoke the women’s varsity team.

TBF, we also had a Brazilian middle- schooler on the team, who was ineligible for varsity due to being 13 at the time, who went on to a pro career, and is currently on an international team!

Info dynamics reminds me of VNV’s interceptor

You dont give up your right to free speech when you get on a plane, why around you give up the right to bear arms?
