Let alone having A relationship. I still have to sort my own baggages before I enter into one.

Because they have been doing insider trading.

According to the latest quarterly earnings, there has been increase in user engagement. However, I also read somewhere that 15% of engagements are from bots. My suspicion is that, in spite of the tiny minuscule amount of fake users posing as genuine, these bots create inflammatory comments to trigger and drive real users into responding more and thereby inflate user engagement and algorithms. These small amount of bots create a snowball effect of increasing user participation. So, in essence, the level of user engagement is fake and inflated.

Spez knows what he’s doing. He is talking to the tech bros to get ideas on how to amass power and now he’s one of them billionaires.

My suspicion is that the clock accelerated significantly because of climate change. Even if we don’t nuke each other, climate change is a slow burn, self-inflicted destruction by humans. Either way, both scenarios lead to a hot extinction.

wonder how much of it is just “shit is clearly bad… Let’s please just try something different and see if it helps.”

It’s kinda both from how I see things. When Bernie wasn’t given a chance by the DNC in the primaries in 2016, the Bernie supporters flocked to vote Trump. The Sanders to Trump pipeline is real. Slavoj Zizek made a great point that people want someone outside of the neoliberal status quo, and Americans got that, but with Trump. Americans are kind of at the crossroads of what they really want.

.ml users tend to be Marxist-Leninists (hence .ml), so when they complain that someone is not “left enough”, it’s a code to mean is that the person is not a Marxist-Leninist/communist who wants to instigate an armed revolution, overthrow the system, and then seize the means of production. The thing is, many Americans could distinguish the difference between communists and socialists. Even the Fox news survey showed most young people support socialism, while only few support communism. I imagine ML clutched their pearls as hard as the conservatives upon learning of the survey.

In more objective fields such as STEM, the Nobel prizes are genuine. The only outlier is the peace prize for more obvious reasons.

Unfortunately, carbon capture is useless if we’re still burning fossil fuels for power, heat, and transport.

Carbon capture is actively harmful when used as an excuse to build new fossil fuel power plants.

Yeah, it’s a blank check to just produce more CO2.

Recession will happen in 2029 to celebrate the anniversary of the Great Depression.

Musk has kompromats on board of directors and shareholders.

Send them this. I’m sure they will get it.

I wasn’t aware about this with regards to mobile phone tbf. I know you are spied upon on your phone camera, but mapping the house with the phone? Do you mean like Dark Knight stuff?

When I was growing up, my mom loves using the phrase which would roughly translates to “while you are still going forward, I’m turning back”, which is a thought terminating cliché to mean do as she says because she has experience. She doesn’t say it as much as she used to because she regrets having been a strict parent. But if she pulls that line again, I have a comeback ready to tell her “you’ve turned back, but the environment you grew up in changed”.

It took me awhile to understand the punchline (god is saying the speed of light is 1 dumbass, not calling the person a dumbass as I first thought). Does that mean the speed of light is slow?

What does Muslim have to do with bacons being carcinogenic?

Just because you don’t live under a tyrannical government doesn’t mean others don’t as well.

I’ve been using the term “Tory” as a pejorative. I was gleefully happy when I found out tory (tóraí) in Irish means “outlaw”, which the Tories imho.

UN is not stopping wars

People: What is the point of your existence!

UN wants to stop wars

Also people: You can’t tell us what to do! We have our own sovereignty!

Someone used the monkey’s paw to wish politics not to be boring.

I’m more worried that coffee prices are spiking because of climate change. The warming weather conditions is making the growing of coffee beans more difficult.
