We all know that banning drugs means that people will stop using them. Or so.


How is “Peter Thiel is a piece of shit” news?


I still have gift cards for Amazon. I have to use them or else Amazon gets free money. I buy stupid shit like wine gummies with it usually.


I cannot wait until the AI bubble bursts.
“Only a few more weeks, only a few more weeks.” <- me, drifting into insanity


There literally should just be a cap. Make it something ridiculous like “billionaires are not allowed to exist, so everything you earn past $999,999,999.99 is public property” and I don’t see any way how someone could disagree with this other than wanting to be a malicious parasite. That is more than enough money to buy a yacht for your yacht and is also an amount of money that cannot be legitimately obtained.
At this point I’m sure it’s not even about control anymore, it’s just that privacy sometimes gets in the way of “line go up”.


I didn’t notice. I don’t use a messenger app. I only use the fucking SMS text like back in 2004.


Yes, Thanos snaps are multiplicative.
But I think we can establish that objects get eliminated in their entirety and not on an atomic scale, or else the snap should have killed way more than half of the people considering that about half their cells just committed sudoku.
Btw if it worked on an atomic scale:
We assume Thanos only wants to snap the gold that has use for humans. We mined around 210,000 tonnes of gold and known reserves of gold hold another roughly 80,000 tonnes. That makes 290,000 tonnes total. 290,000 tonnes of gold have around 8.87 * 10^32 gold atoms, so Thanos would need to snap on average log_2(8.87*10^32) + 2 = 112 times to eradicate all of that gold.
Note that the total amount of gold on Earth is much larger than that (unknown deposits, deeps in the crust, in the core), but that would get rid of the stuff we actually care about.


Yeah, Russian is quite a bit easier to romanize, so it should work even better. For cyrillic, you can just replace each character with the romanized variant, but this doesn’t work for Farsi because they usually leave out non-starting vowels, so if you did the same approach you’d get something unreadable lol


I use it to romanize Farsi song texts. I cannot read their script and chatGPT can. The downside is that you have to do it a few lines at a time or else it starts hallucinating like halfway through. There is no other tool that reliably does this, the one I used before from University of Tehran seems to have stopped working.


In essence, yes. Or at least that was a big part of Hitler’s campaign.
Back then it was the Jews and socialists gutting Germany by accepting unconditional surrender after WW1 (Dolchstoßlegende), today it’s immigrants, especially muslims, trying to impose their culture upon us.
(/s) But what happened in 1933 cannot happen again because now we are so much smarter and people back then were dumb. (/s)


Canada is my only hope. Please Canadians, don’t go insane, too.


German here.
Many Germans firmly believe the AfD is not a nazi party. Many Germans defend them because the AfD tells them what they want to hear: “It’s not your fault that you haven’t struck it big yet in your life, it’s the insert minority/marginalized group of the month’s fault.” They truly believe that the AfD will help them.
It’s the same obvious, fascist playbook that they pulled in the US and people eat it up while laughing at your idiot president.
It’s insane. People are incapable of questioning themselves and thus incapable of learning.


Kimmel didn’t even talk about Kirk’s death outside of stating that the right is trying their best to milk it as much as possible which is saying nothing about Kirk. He never commented on Kirk as a person, at least not as far as I know of.


Here is the patent if someone is interested:


As a millenial, I never understood this. Back when we were having LAN parties, we always shared our porn, so I know what pretty much everyone I care about tosses their salad to and they do know what I get off on as well. I’m impervious to that sort of blackmail, it’s like a superpower.


To be fair, I blame the compiler as well when the shit I write doesn’t work.


No wonder the Scots wanted to secede from this mess.
I don’t even know my passwords. Much easier than remembering a good password is to just not having to remember it.
