woah holy shit a bio?

No, it’s not.
The US Dollar is a fiat currency. The value is merely what the market dictates amongst trading frequency and how much debt is held in it.
It’s backed by nothing. A dollar has a made up value. In the1970s Nixon ended the US gold Standard, and those with property, not the government who held the gold, got to dictate it. Same thing through today.
Wait what?
No, dictators fucking love central banks and fiat currency.
They like it even better than anything, because a dictator almost always controls the central bank. Plus, the dictator and his buddies almost always own everything, and when you own property you need fiat currency to stay in power. Fiat currency inevitably leads to hyperinflation. With hyperinflation, you get way wealthier owning property than having cash. At that point they don’t need the central bank that they control.
I don’t particularly like the comparison because I really enjoyed his performance as Paul
But you can’t argue with results
To be fair
He did get the steam deck made, so that was kinda cool.
But maybe owning 6 yachts is a little less cool.
Unless the sub and boats were like research vessels he funds, that would be cool
But they aren’t.
Why can’t billionaires dump their money into funding scientific research? It’s not like there aren’t scientists out there with plenty of research to be done.
Or even maybe wherever he lives, he could like, fund the entire county school districts for the rest of existence and no one would have to worry about taxes.
Or maybe regularly cancel the medical debt of Valve employees and their families.
Like how fucking hard is it to redistribute your own wealth?
Like fucking Christ, that’s the part I don’t understand. They complain about taxes and shit at the top, but they do absolutely fuck all to make things better for large swaths of people. Or if they do, it’s after they die and $200m gets donated to a university and it prevents next year’s tuition from increasing.
Everything I got offers for were weapons platforms, fire control systems, or guidance.
The exact same time I was going through these a cruise missile in Yemen hit a school bus full of kids - obviously one American made sold to the Saudis.
My kid wasn’t in school yet, but I looked at him, shook my head and said nope. Can’t do it. Won’t do it. Turns out I do value things other than fun projects and money, and by a huge margin.
I haven’t seen my Grandma in a few years. I’m actually visiting the state next month, but I won’t visit her.
She knows why. And my Dad doesnt argue with me about it. He really goes to check on his sister.
I don’t tolerate intolerance. This is what happens when Americans do.
And it’s open source!
Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like a bad idea to do something that disenfranchises people at the moment.
I just want to say I haven’t seen “merc’d” used quite so eloquently before, well done.
And they will somehow think that they escape unscathed.
Dude
I love it.
You know what’s pretty neat about this?
It’s not mob justice. Mob justice is when people get together and come up with bad ideas. This is an individual that the public has now rallied around.
While we only see comments from a select few number of people in this country (relative to it’s size of 350m) it seems that democracy is voicing itself. I know a lot of people who were initially shocked, but then quickly came to the conclusion that FAFO is a real thing.
And health insurance companies have done a lot of fucking around.
Something with diphenhydramine or doxylamine? They aren’t great to take for very long at all.
But if you notice a dependency, I don’t recommend the RX sleep meds I’ve been on for so long. One was effective for a very long time (15 years? Lunesta I think) but has gotten weaker and weaker. I’m terrified of stopping it though, its a nonbenzodiazapine so it binds to the same stuff as benzos. Taking something so long like that is bound to cause problems when I stop.
I’ve heard therapy helps. But I’m not sure how. Hasn’t done much for me.
Hmmm.
I got the magnesium supplement, but I didn’t know about zinc oxide and I didn’t know they were hard to absorb.
I better look up what foods those guys are in, make it a little snack before bed instead
Wait hold on
Aren’t you basically just taking a shot then?
Often they have quite a bit of experience in the military right?
I added an edit to clarify my reflection.
It’s one of the reasons I couldn’t go into the defense industry. Not just working on weapons that are deadly to enemy combatants and innocents; but making profit off of doing so.
If there becomes a point in my career where it’s clear that my work doesn’t make things better, then I know I’ve made a mistake.
The only thing I can see this affecting is the Secure-boot requirement.
Which is very odd to consider that anything compatibility related would likely have nothing to do with secure boot, and everything to do with Windows being Windows.
