At 19, I accidentally started a nutrition company, flew to China to meet factories, pitched investors and hit $5M in revenue.
Here’s how a joke turned into a global business. 🧵
Historic policy change and win!
Housing First didn't fix homelessness - it created a funnel for NGO grift, and bad incentives.
We've been saying this for years. Now it's federal policy.
Good breakdown from @CiceroInstitute on the biggest change to homeless policy in decades.
Wokeness is the most successful rebranding of evil in human history
It takes racism, division, and hatred, wraps them in the language of compassion and justice, and calls it moral progress
It made people cheer for the destruction of their own societies while feeling morally superior for doing it
This is exactly why The Economist has been reduced to propaganda toilet rags. Once esteemed, now consistently race baiting at every chance and poisoning the idea of what an economist is with leftist propaganda.
How far such a once great publication has fallen. “I don’t agree so you’re racist” isn’t an intelligent argument.
@politicalmath Accused isn’t the right word - someone weaponized racism allegations against him. That is the huge side effect of the new UK police guidance - it’s easily weaponized by bad actors.
Especially in the age of ai. We thought computers accelerated growth hugely - ai is an even crazier exponential accelerant. It’s an amazing time to be alive.
@PTrubey@BenjaminDEKR You’d need perfect physics in the simulator. Video game programmers generally are not at the level of perfect real life physics. It’s an idea that could work at some point, but that layer isn’t there yet.
After a bit of research it is shocking just how slow and ineffective German courts are at prosecuting (much less their failure to adequately punish) child exploitation. Not good.
They shouldn’t be trying to lecture moral high ground on anything. They don’t take CP seriously.
So, to summarize:
German homo gets famous for twerking on stage in a dress.
Becomes prominent LGBT activist.
Politicians love him.
Elected the official Gay Berlin Ambassador.
Gets arrested for child porn.
Judge: “Meh, it's ok. You didn't mean it.”
No jail time. $70/day fine.
Continues to do activism.
Is invited to play with kids in Japan on behalf of Germany's Foreign Office despite being a convicted pedophile.
Gets arrested for even more child porn.
@ChadBianco Clearly not. Your shameful refusal to step aside and harm your own party will go down in history. Very selfish, entirely your own doing that you are destroying your reputation permanently.
You put up a good campaign. You lost. Now you’re destroying your own.
@6prhghfvb5@PhillipInIsrael@koshercockney Nowhere was race mentioned. It’s an objective observation about many of the immigrants coming in, taken directly from their words and actions.
Learn critical thinking in that almond in your head instead of reflexively reaching for the race card anytime you disagree. Low iq.
@ChadBianco You ran a good campaign. You have lost, and now are harming the whole state - your supporters as well as others on your side.
You are tanking your reputation permanently. Reconsider while you still have honor preserved.
@ms_babyrussell@Cernovich@beauhightowerdn Data centers build out their own power and 99% of them use closed cycle/water reclamation tech. Electricity and water are not factors. You’re listening to bad information.
🏃♂️ I've gamified my own run so I can race my own ghost with the Meta Ray-Ban Display.
I built a web app for the glasses, loaded a previous GPX from Strava, and dropped game mechanics on top.
Pick up coins when you keep pace, sprint zones reward extra points if you push, and a mini leaderboard on the lens shows how you're tracking against your past self in real time.
Best part: it actually works. Seeing your ghost 20 m ahead is a way stronger nudge than any number on a watch. 😅
I think a lot of people are saying a lot of stuff out here that doesn't make sense if you think about it for two seconds.
The entire industrial revolution was about shifting production from individual humans to massive, expensive machines that yes could cost more than human labor to purchase up front but once established enabled gains in productivity and efficiency that brought the entire world out of the middle ages and into modernity, prosperity, raised living standards, wages....
The level of contempt for and absolute obliviousness of how landlords operate (esp mom/pop who rent several apts for retirement) among leftists is insane and sad at the same time. To them, a squatter is a light nuisance; to the landlord it’s disaster.
fyi, original little nugget that sent me on this rabbit hole appeared in a new york post story on one of the lovely people you've been paying to house who destroyed a home, which you probably can't afford yourself.
