stocks are a confidence game. china showed you can do a lot more with less and i think there was a pretty widely acknowledged awareness that there was already a bubble… now i’m not a fancy economist but this is what i’ve gathered

couldn’t be related to their joining nato…

‘snow crash’ by neal stephenson

i exist to make you look exciting, i guess…

you sound very activated right now-- so you left the usa because you’re worried trump is going to exterminate the gays?

my guy, you are the one who played the ‘i know a gay person’ card referring to “trump’s genocide”

“an absolute win” low standard copium.

“survive genocide”

the future is on fire… good thing we have accelerationist drones so we can see it in our lifetimes.

strange framing… ‘unpaid customer support’ we have icky feelings related to unpaid work, ‘data mine’ – like every other sub?

you could re-write this to read: “duolingo prefers you use official channels to protect their primary access to your data”

“Shemesh herself has drawn attention for her pro-Israel advocacy. Last year, she was ejected from a Toronto Raptors NBA game for wearing a “Free Our Hostages” sweatshirt to the arena. (She argued that her sweatshirt should not be seen as a violation of the NBA’s ban on political messaging because supporting hostages should be apolitical.)”

i have a gay brother who isn’t afraid of being genocided… funny, that

no i don’t think you’re one of the good guys.

good people exist

i don’t care where you’re from.

sorry if the truth conflicts with your ‘reality’

but isn’t their strategy literally how they have 90 percent of the wealth? seems a crushingly effective strategy. what do you suppose their downfall looks like? does it happen before or after ours?

this place feels more like reddit everyday… western colonial echo chamber masquerading as ‘the good guys’ (referring to your downvotes i mean)

who wants thoughts and prayers… you want people to observe some fake decorum and misrepresent themselves? are you familiar with nato and previous declarations that russia laid out time and again was a red line not to cross with regard to expansion into ukraine?

basically: big tech being the frauds that they are realize what simply must be the case: that the chinese are also being fraudlent in their claims of cost/ use of banned imports, etc. a man quoted in the article says the hype or hysteria around deepseek is an indictment of so many- (and it is) but he seems to be chiding anyone who believes china or cautioning investors from panic selling their stock. meanwhile the article admits that the release is indeed a step forward, blah blah blah.

the african prince who held the salmon needed a small forward of cash to cover the cost of transferring the fish…

a man writes an attention grabbing headline. it was clickbait.
