We already know how to prevent more extinctions. Better environmental laws, more green spaces, better conservation efforts, less suburban sprawl, etc. You know, things that will never happen.

It’s been restored after the article published. Moderators removed it as it being “Non-consensual” due to their rules, which they were right to follow…but the exception is that this is “news-worthy” which I agree with.

“You’re not protesting the right way! You have to stand up to them only in ways that are acceptable to me!”

Got it buddy.

Hell, this has “I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?” vibes.

I mean, I’ve technically designed a component that’s gone into numerous commercial aircraft. Does that make me qualified to head up the FAA? Or would that make me qualified to lead NASA?

These chuds are so unqualified to lead any of these departments. The one saving grace as that none of these guys know what they are doing, so short of firing people, they’re just going to embarrass themselves for the next 4 years.

No one’s shaming the kink. It’s a play on “Kissing the feet of your ruler”, essentially implying subservience.

If you buy into this…<inhales>…hahhaahhahahahhahahahHAHAHAHAHAAJHAHJAJAJJAhahhahaha…you dumb, dumb, dumby dumb person. You are going to loose it all and I will not feel bad at all. This is coming from someone who actually invests in crypto.

Do not buy this coin if you know what’s good for you.

Yeah, in the interest of not having a bloody, civil war, I’d rather try to correct the economic paradigm that we have rather than instill a new one that will have its own set of unique and terrible problems (for example, see nomenklatura).

The chaos that will arise from the transition will be deadly, terrifying, and profound. It is not something I wish my children to have to go through. So, yeah…of course I’d rather work to fix the system that we have.

The phrase “are ethically wrong” is hilarious. According to whose code of ethics? How are their ethics more moral than someone else’s set of ethics?

There’s literally entire branches of philosophy dedicated to the concept of morals and the concepts of good and evil.

Edit: Also, to add on to this, something can be ethically right but morally wrong, or ethically wrong but morally right.

Most people that are making that kind of money are pretty smart. They have multiple investment strategies, multiple places that they store their money, and typically have some sort of easily accessible nest egg (like a mutual fund or crypto). I guarantee about 3/4 of them have enough to last AT LEAST 6-8 months without a job before things started getting a little tight.

If your living within your means and making that kind of money, you don’t really have to worry about losing a job or things breaking down, or other big issues (short of medical emergencies).

At least we now know why Musk was upset. He intended to buy it and hand it right back to Alex Jones. Can’t have the “alt-right” media sphere disappearing.

He gave them table scraps while feasting with his cronies (remember those COVID checks?).

Then why does anyone donate shit to Goodwill. I thought they purposely sold things cheap so that people that needed it could afford it.

I used it to write a kickass counteroffer for an internal job promotion. I was pissed off with the offer and wrote out what I REALLY thought. I asked GPT to clean it up and respond with and upbeat and positive response where I’m eager to work with them.

ChatGPT about to help me get an $18k raise.

I dunno mate…at least a sperm is capable of impregnating a woman.

I read it the article, but why did the government pass something like that? They had to realize that there would be substantial pushback. And what’s with all of the violence? 110 deaths is absolutely insane.

What’s going on in Bangladesh? First I’ve heard of anything going on.

I’m not going to say they’re not real or not sentient. But I will absolutely say that they are selfish. They lack the empathy required to understand how things will affect others. They lack the willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. They lack the humility required to understand that they could be wrong, and the critical reasoning required to change their views in the face of new evidence.

Almost every conservative I’ve ever met is either extremely rich or lives in microcosm. Hell, I’ve got extended family that have never travelled outside of their hometown and anything foreign or different to them is either ridiculed or shunned.

They want a social hierarchy, and they want their place in it preserved. God forbid people get equitable standing.

They can be used on each of the following carrier’s: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon (except for prepaid plans and Number Share), Ting, Mint, US Mobile.

So, I’m not sure what you mean by providers who give “free upgrades”…

It’s cheaper than most smart phones and does everything you need it to do without games and social media.

A Light Phone or Light phone 2 is capable of doing literally everything you need from a smart phone without the bloat and distraction. It’s legitimate with most service providers as well.

There’s viable options out there that aren’t “flip phones”.
