Plenty of us who aren’t boomers dealt with high rents, student debt, job markets that weren’t handing out pensions, and parents who didn’t leave us houses. Some of us still managed to buy or build assets by moving to cheaper markets, keeping lifestyle inflation in check for a decade, stacking skills that paid, and not treating every setback as proof the previous generation stole the future. Structural headwinds on housing and retirement are real. Treating them as a complete excuse for your current balance sheet usually isn’t.
@samdgrant_@briankeepsworth What we need are some more Pharisees around here to put guardrails on how Jesus and HG work! 3 weeks to conversion? The audacity!
Archaeologists have officially discovered a massive, completely lost ancient civilization hidden deep beneath the Amazon rainforest using advanced LiDAR laser technology. A sprawling, pre-Columbian network of cities that completely rewrites human history.
If Mamdani would like me, a white New Yorker who never owned slaves, to pay a black New Yorker who never was a slave, then I propose:
Every Muslim in NYC starting with Mamdani, should pay us for 9/11.
Please explain why the latter makes no sense but the former does.
In the US, liberals think conservatives hate them much more than conservatives actually do, while conservatives don't realize liberals hate them as much as liberals actually do. The hatred asymmetry is one reason liberals tend to win over time.
It's honestly confusing.
Iran was set up to have about $100 billion in assets unfrozen. In addition, they were going to get $300 billion in investments from their Arab neighbors.
All they had to do was stop acting like assholes for 5 minutes.
They literally couldn't do it. They fired on shipping and bombed their Arab neighbors, the very countries that would be investing $300 billion in them.
And all to to get a nuke that would be a suicide mission if they ever used it?
I honestly feel sorry for President Trump. How do you negotiate with crazy people?
@9Syht@TheRealMadOx What he did after is not relevant to the moment or the decision he made.
Unruly dogs belong, nearly exclusivel, to incompetent owners.
Does a tesla react faster than a human?
Thought for 5s
Yes, Tesla FSD reacts faster than humans: Independent tests and Tesla data show FSD response times of ~50-200 ms (often ~0.13-0.26 s in recent v14 versions), versus typical human driving reaction times of 0.75-1.5 seconds for unexpected hazards.
