You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and this is a land of wolves now.

@ClariceCarmello @dumbmooney62 @ScopeReport_ Oh yeah definitely not common but I'm not surprised someone somewhere uses one. Now I need a shower gun.

anyone who can put zionists, or worse philosemites, in their place deserves my respect

@dumbmooney62 @ClariceCarmello @ScopeReport_ Should add I own a few suppressors but none are on my carry gun

[Rubicon Crosser @RubiconCrossers]

@dumbmooney62 @ClariceCarmello @ScopeReport_ It'd be an odd choice bc a suppressor is a lot of extra length, but I wouldn't be just flabbergasted if that's the case here. Weirder things have happened

Everything is crumbling, and our options are dwindling. We can only watch helplessly as chaos unfolds. Maybe whatever comes after us will manage better than we ever did.

I’ve been trying Copilot Tasks this week, and it’s awesome to assign tasks (even recurring) in this cowork mode and have them completed end to end autonomously and use Agent mode to refine and iterate on the outputs. A couple of examples ...

Went to the car dealership Saturday

Wife wants a new SUV

Salesman walked over and said "what are we looking for today?"

I said "what's your margin on the Tahoe?"

He laughed

I said "I'm not joking. What's the invoice price versus the sticker and what holdback does the dealer get from GM?"

He stopped laughing

My wife said "we're just browsing"

We were not just browsing

I brought a spreadsheet

Printed

Color coded

Blue for inputs

Black for calculations

I showed him the comparable transaction analysis I ran on every Tahoe sold within 50 miles in the last 90 days

He said "sir this is a car dealership"

I said "and these are the comps"

He went to get his manager

The manager came out

Looked at my spreadsheet

Looked at me

Said "where do you work?"

I said "private equity"

He said "that explains it"

My wife was already in the lobby pretending she didn't know me

We got the Tahoe

$4,200 below sticker

She didn't thank me

But the savings speak for themselves

You are welcome

Years ago I was called a lefttard conspiracy theorist for suggesting that The Red Scare podcast was a Thiel funded cultural project (partially via Thiel's "Founders Fund" funded Patreon network") to do social engineering.
