True, the Roman Empire fell and the United States could fall too. Humanity didn’t end though, it went through periods of enlightenment and darkness and kept marching forward.
I’m not saying the end of humanity is impossible, just that at many points in history it seemed like society was on the brink of total annihilation but yet here we still are.
If it helps, history runs in cycles. We used to have kings, we got rid of the kings, then we welcomed the kings back with open arms. But the reign of kings doesn’t last forever.
One of my favourite cognitive dissonances is now asking anti-vaxxers if they think artificial food additives should undergo clinical trials to study their health impact before people start putting them in their bodies. (Spoilers: They don’t.)
These days, my kids have no concept of a Christmas concert. If we are lucky, the school will put on a 30-minute “family sharing music show” on a Tuesday morning.
Maybe that has to do with schools being overburdened with larger class sizes, fewer staff, and tighter budgets due to governments cutting funding to the bone.
Maybe the article writer should to go volunteer for the school to save Christmas instead of crying about it and blaming everyone else.
Throughout November, some residents believed that President Trump would heroically swoop in and stop the mass eviction
People hope face eating leopard will stop other face eating leopards from eating their faces.
Even numbers are getting too expensive in this economy.
In the interview, Trump defended tariffs generally, saying that tariffs are “going to make us rich.”
Well he’s not lying, except by “us” he means his billionaire friends and not the American people.
Religion has always been the favorite tool of oligarchs. Rules for thee, not for me.
Market cap isn’t liquidity. There’s only a few billion dollars of Bitcoin on offer at any given point so dumping another few billion into the market all at once would cause an enormous swing in price. The market may absorb it quickly enough for the price to recover, but it could also trigger panic selling which lowers the price further, which causes more panic selling… and voila there’s your run. It wouldn’t destroy Bitcoin, but the price could take a very long time to recover if it does at all.
You mean the corporation you gave boatloads of personal data to is manipulating it to use against you in the pursuit of profit?! [surprised pikachu.jpg]
Yup, and it only takes one whale trying to cash out too much to cause a run on the market.
Just the federal holiday would be enough. If someone is too lazy to vote when given a paid day off to do so, then I don’t trust they are informed enough to vote anyhow.
i have sympathy for the americans who are wronged by the man murdered but instead of violence maybe you consider reading a book to understand the world around you and be open to the power of faith to restore your love of humanity instead of parading violence
Oh hey, I started reading the Bible from the beginning and in the first chapter the main character convinced a father to kill his own son then killed almost everyone on earth because he didn’t like them. Are those the lessons I’m supposed to learn?
Edit: I skipped ahead a bit to the part where the punishment for having sex with someone who isn’t your wife is to be stoned to death. Am I get warmer yet?
And when the Liberals fail to deliver the leftist policies the people wanted, the people turn around and vote for the Conservatives instead of the NDP.
People are so fucking stupid.
The rich are all greedy sociopaths. Destroying the world is part of the plan because they don’t want anyone else to have what they have.
I’m hoping for more of a “let them eat cake” kind of moment.
No, he did try it back in 2017:
“In late 2017, we and Elon decided the next step for the mission was to create a for-profit entity,” OpenAI said. “Elon wanted majority equity, initial board control, and to be CEO. In the middle of these discussions, he withheld funding. Reid Hoffman bridged the gap to cover salaries and operations.”
Elmo is just throwing a tantrum because he wanted to be the one to take them private and roll them into Tesla but the rest of the board said no.
This sounds like a conspiracy by big water trying to sell you more wetness!
It doesn’t matter if there is a tariff on these materials or not when China refuses to sell them to the US.
In this case, corporations oppose MAID because sick and dying people need a lot of very expensive health care (skilled nursing, hospice care, etc) so they would much rather force them to stay alive in order to continue profiting off them.
