losers with no morals know that there is no easier, self-selecting mark for scams than the maga cult

Legally emigrating to a new country takes a lot of effort, but even doing it illegally (by buying a ticket and overstaying your tourist visa) would take at least a few thousand dollars, for the flight plus expenses for a few months while you find some income

Great, i always struggled playing YYZ, but the new version of “… … …” makes it so much more manageable

that is exactly what it does

the fewer repeats is for when you listen to the same playlist multiple times, not for the sequence itself

and that is what spotify actually does: https://engineering.atspotify.com/2025/11/shuffle-making-random-feel-more-human

Differently types of risks. Giving a 3rd party access to your full cloud storage has massive privacy concerns that he is right to want to avoid.

It is because Obama got it before. It is not that deep

He doesn’t even live in the city

15% of the total United States GDP is a single company

no, it is not. you struggle to comprehend it because it is not true.

it is comparing different things. one is a valuation, the other is the value of goods and services over a year. the comparision would be with yearly revenue of a company

while a phone signing a video to show that it was captured with the camera is possible, it will be easy too to fake the signature. all it would take would be a hacked device to steal the private key. and even if apple/google/samsung have perfectly secure systems to sign the origin of the video, there would be ton of cheaper phones that would likely won’t.

according to AOC, it is because MTG wanted to run for Senate next year and Trump told her no

the reason i am happy about the results is not because of zohran himself (even if i think he is great). i refuse to be like the people who idolize their chosen leader.

i am happy because the campaign showed people that community effort can produce effective results. democracy doesn’t mean that we chose our leaders, it means that the power is in the people, and that is worth celebrating in itself

oh, this is not to pay for health care. it is to sustain the carry trade scam that both the american and argentinan goverment are involved in.

if he is taking requests, i would want to hear Sr Cobranza

feels as relevant today as it was in the 90s

surely that means that they will follow children privacy protection laws and not track information of anyone who they can’t verify is an adult, right?

right?

that is just a revolution, not a dictatorship, then.

the difficulty with that, is when to give the power away. obviously you would need to keep it for long enough to make sure that the system will stay in place after you are no longer in power

I think that ultimately, the problem with authoritarian regimes and dictatorships is an efficiency vs resilience problem. Dictatorships are super efficient. There is no back and forth, no debate, no bureaucracy except that allowed to be. This can create an illusion of progress early on, as all those things that were eternally in the future will start to get tackled. The problem is that it is not a resilient system. It relies exclusively upon the dictator and their understanding of the world. This is not a problem in the areas of expertise or if the dictator is smart enough to understand their limits. But at some point, there will be a mismatch between what the dictator thinks is important, necessary, or true, and what really is. Be it ego, being surrounded by yes men, being detached from the general population or a minority group, or anything else, the dictator will make bad choices, and there is nothing in the system that can prevent that.

The music of the SE was so good. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QvMimQ9YD1Y&list=PLE730706C5F8C6F79&index=7&pp=iAQB8AUB goes so hard

i am in a similar position. i have started to give serious thought to the idea of moving back home (to a country with a much lower cost of living than the US), and live from savings while i figure out what i want to do the rest of my life.
