I was born in 83, and grew up in the time where being a computer need required real work and knowledge of computers.
The things got easier and easier, and then the smartphones came.
These new kids literally don’t know how to search a file directory because they are used to the apps magicing stuff where it needs to be.
Palantir is pretty spot-on. It spies on everyone, is a tool of evil, and once used you never know who’s watching and influencing you.
Please tell me they flushed the signs.
If they’re not worth any money, then the tax burden of sitting on them shouldn’t be high enough to be a problem. But if it is, you can sell them cheap, abandon them to government auction, replat them with neighboring cheap lots do make ag land or a large lot for an industrial or multifamily development, or more.
“I can’t make a bunch of money selling or renting this lot” is not an excuse to just sit on land waiting for the value to go up.
Because investors know that they will almost certainly eventually be bailed out by a massive government purchase, so they bought the dip.
That’s why they’re using Signal. If this while thing collapses on them, they don’t want written records of their criminal conspiracies.
That means they aren’t worth 100k. Forcing people to sell them for their actual value will lower real estate prices nationwide.
The social contract grants governments and their leaders authority in exchange for protection and guaranteed rights for the citizens.
When those in power violate the contract, it no longer applies to them. Trump, Musk, and the rest of the fascists are no longer covered by the social contract. We do not have to tolerate them, respect them, or have empathy for them.
It also feels like something Kavenaugh would have been into.
Unused housing should be taxed mercilessly.
And single-family homes should have a 100% annual tax on them, unless they are owned by an individual human/family (none of this LLC bullshit) who own only 1 house. Make a 6-month exception for inherited houses just so they can be sold, but otherwise just tax the shit out of them.
Make hoarding housing a liability.
Time for a covariance matrix!
I think the important thing here is to not get distracted and focus on what’s really important:
Hillary’s emails.
That’s a correct word. In fact, it’s more correct than “supressor.” The first supressor was literally called the Maxim Silencer, and the ATF uses the term “silencer.”
The end part about Americans traveling the world being respected again in 2010 is really depressing in 2025.
Yet, oddly enough, their legitimate journalism arm (Buzzfeed News) was actually pretty great.
I also like how this particular video pissed off Tesla AND Disney.
I get that, but why the 4lb, 800-page books sent to millions of people a multiple times a year just to end up in the trash without ever being opened? 90+ percent of their orders have to be digital where they just search the website.
Yeah. I grew up around guns. I was shooting 22s early like you, had a compact shotgun by the age of 10, etc.
We didn’t live in the country, so while we had guns in the house, we did NOT have ammunition in the house until I was 15 or so, just in case me or my sister ever decided to play with a gun. We bought ammo on the way to the range or the hunt, and anything we didn’t shoot was given to a family member.
They are the reason I think I severely underestimate that sucess rate of junk mail. They essentially mail me a phone book 5 times a year ro my home and my office and I have ordered exactly zero products from them ever.
It can’t be cheap to send all those catalogs, so they must work.
I want to see how that cane works.
