How dare you remind me of the impermanence of time. I'm not old.... you're old.

This guy bought so many rare monkey tokens. Ai is impressive in some aspects, but it's not nearly as impressive as the marketing that drives the massive amounts of investment into it.

The US economy is doing anything it can to create growth, which is causing investors to create a bubble around AI that is "too big to fail".

If it was from electrical failure, it'd be more likely to happen in the pilot's thrust control than simultaneously in both engines. But usually if both engines fail after take off....my money is on fuel system failure.

Yeah.... The article is conflating power failure with engine failure. It was a very odd plane crash, and it didn't appear that they had power failure. It looks like they lost thrust on both engines, which is really rare in multiengine aircraft.

Not only that, but they also just love having a circus monkey at the pulpit. More people are tuning in whether you like or hate trump, it doesn't matter to them or the advertisers.

independent reporters, substack and the like, for real news.

But they don't hand out branded tote bags that I can take to brunch to let the gals know I donated.....

Unfortunately we live in very interesting times. The global death of democracy is approaching right when we all need to be working together to address the rapidly changing climate. More than likely the globe will see a nationalistic dash for resources to where nation states attempt to bolster themselves before the advent of mass migration.

Now luckily, this will more than likely take decades, not years. Being a doomer isn't being aware of the state of the world, it's how you respond to it. Don't get caught up thinking about things on a global scale, if nations aren't able to fix it.... individuals really don't have a chance. Think locally, build a mutual aid and defense network that operates to protect your loved ones and your community. There is still time to prepare and neighbors to protect, and at the end of the day that's really what matters.

Idk, the gdp of Greenland is only 3b a year and it's mostly from fishing. There's really nothing the US could extract from Greenland that would be worth the cost of invading it. There's some potential for mining, but you'd have to build an entire infrastructure to do it, and we don't even want to invest in building infrastructure in the US.

Realistically the only thing that makes Greenland strategically important would be controlling the shipping lanes up north. However, the only strategically significant rival we have that utilizes those shopping lanes are Russia, whom the administration wants to buddy up too.

I think it's just meat they throw out to the media anytime they want to distract from their failures, and of course our pathetic press just gobbles it up every time.

Based on the article he wasn't even handing out a mask that would hide people's identity. They state it was a face shield similar to what police use....which are clear. Sounds like they just arrested a dude for handing out water and PPE because people are being shot in the face.

Runs business dependent on under paying his immigrant employees.....votes for president that is claiming he will kick out all the immigrant workers.... profit?

How fucking braindead are these people? You'd think I would get used to being illuminated to just how ignorant a large sector of the population is, but every time it just feels like a kick in the teeth.

Hope this guy ends up fucking homeless.

Lol, it's not. The IRS doesn't care about your brokerage sales unless you're liable for a capital gains tax, which wouldn't happen if you are not making a profit.

Plus, if they received a huge pile of paper about your trades that didn't include a 1099-b, which is literally just like 1/4 of a sheet of paper....they would just request it from your brokerage.

Anyone who thinks the IRS is some evil org has just never done their own taxes and listens to propaganda from billionaires who don't think taxes should exist.

If you've ever really had a legal problem with the IRS, you were more than likely purposely evading taxes and deserve the trouble. They are actually really reasonable to work with, and usually bend backwards to resolve the issue in several different ways before pursuing anyone legally.

Babyboomers will literally die before acknowledging they've ever done anything wrong.

It's sad to say, but I honestly think the vaccines came out too soon. If the virus has another 6 months to a year to actually scare/eliminate some of the older people in Congress we wouldn't be in this mess. A literal miracle of science allowed people to engage in mass denialism so great that a significant portion of the population literally won't acknowledge millions of people died.

We saved a bunch of geriatric fucks just to allow them to ruin lives of their grandchildren.
