Imagine doing all that work and after all that still believing this is the best thing to spend the money on. Either it was insanely easy to get people to donate or he just gave up on the country.

There are many people who tried to compare current day wealth to the wealth of historic figures. Those are, afaik, never about hard facts but a way of translating an estimation. This article names 8 trillionaires for example. They give ganghis kahn an estimated $120 trillion, and consider mensa musa so much richer they call his wealth uncrompihensible. You can find similar lists online, i guess the same names will take a similar spot on the ranking, but the numbers will differ. They tend to look at relative wealth (they estimate that Elon Musk has xx % of all money globally and compare that to the estimated percentage of global wealth of a historic figure and translate that to a current day value).

You sure about that? The rich will have to pay your childcare! Also, you’ll earn at least $20 an hour. Also, your money can’t go to overpriced food, because the state will own a place that sells food. On top of that, there won’t be any datacenters, so you will be left with enough water, enough electricity and enough land! Doesn’t it sound much nicer to have no taxes for the rich? Imagine what they can do with all the money they now don’t have to spend on the other people in society. Imagine a world where they can “invest” all of their wealth. Doesn’t that sound much better? Think mate!

Doesn’t this only work if you piss them off about something you wanna change like “isn’t it stupid how few data centers there are? We all want data centers but these stupid renters with shitty wages are always in our way, we should create build more data centers! We have to throw out the stupid renters and their shitty wages!”

On Friday evening, January 21st, she repeated the saying on Twitter and Instagram, in slightly different form, adding that it was a Circassian proverb (in Turkish: öküz saraya çıkınca kral olmaz, ama saray ahır olur). At 2 a.m. that Saturday morning, she was detained for ‘insulting’ the Turkish President, which is as strong an admission that she’d hit the mark as it’s possible to imagine.

I read that Orbán was an inspiration to the writers of Project 2025, but i guess Erdogan might also be a real life example for Trump. He needed a few decades to turn his country from a secular democracy into a religious “democracy”. I really feel for the opposition there. How long before Trump puts people behind bars for insulating the president and locks up Democrats because of “corruption”.

One question though, what is Hunter Biden doing on the platform formerly known as Twitter? The only people he’ll run into there are people who post shit like this anyway.

Didn’t watch the video yet, but but my closeted gaydar is making loud noises already

Not always, but sounds like in this case it seems plausible

1. Yes
2. What?
3. Huh?
4. This is the same person, right?
5. Yup

So this is just Google punishing you?

If you get a castle for free you’re not likely to be charged property tax, considering the value initially is €0. But obviously if it was such a great deal the free castles would have been sold out by now.

You can unplug them without issues, turn them off without issues, use the neighbours one without issues; it’s a long lost, really

I’d prefer a printer over the system we currently have to live with though.

Let me fix that:

2020 corporation: BUY MY STRAWS! REALLY GOOD STRAWS! CHEAP TOO! environment: better stop using those, people will not properly dispose them and animals will think it’s food and die of starvation because their bellies are filled with undigestable garbage. Also they can easily get stuck in a turtle’s nose,

2026 corporation: BUY MY AI! REALLY GOOD AI! CHEAP TOO! environment: better not use it too much, nature and humans included need that water too. Also they use a lot of electricity and you need either dinosaur bones or rare earth to produce that electricity, both is bad for the climate you depend on to survive.

I didn’t mean to imply that you said you support all US’s actions against those regimes, neither do am I implying you meant to say you support their crimes of war, i’m asking whether you support their war crimes because when you wrote that you “defend actions taken by the USA to fight against Isis, IRGC, Al-Assad, Hussein, etc, when we had competent leaders capable of positive change.” you come across as someone who believes those things were only good things while imo those include some very bad things too. Also “competent leaders capable of positive change” can have blood on their hands. If the US would recognize the ICJ they could even try and convince someone like me that they did not in fact commit any war crimes, but them not wanting to be held accountable for their actions alone makes me wonder if there even was a capable leader in the US to begin with.

TIL telling a bitch to get stuffed is not rude in Australia.

All actions or only the ones that weren’t crimes of war?

The paper is printed and transported, a data center meant for storing data handles much more data than that of a collage. You make a fair point, but the paper vs paperless debate isn’t that simple.

TIL American sign language requires clean fingers
