My Superman fan-film 'Red Son: Genesis' is now on Youtube! I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback, because I've got a bunch of sequels planned and I want to continue to improve as a filmmaker. Enjoy the show!!

I'm 38.
At this point of my life/career, I have so many friends working corporate W2 jobs making $200-400K/year (mostly in NYC/NJ/PA corridor) who just don't actually work that much.
One friend makes $250K as a manager at a biotech... all he does is send pictures of his chicken coop or other DIY projects all day during the week.. no idea what value he actually provides his company.
Then there's my "jiggler" friend who you might recall... guy makes $250-300K and just plugs a "mouse jiggler" into his laptop and just goes to the gym, homeschools his kids, tans, does yard work... all day. I ask him what he does and he can't even articulate it...
Another friend makes $150K at a remote startup and just travels around the world all the time... don't ask don't tell situation on where people are at any given time... but does seemingly little actual work.. maybe 1 hour a day.
This is truly what's going on out there... BS W2 jobs all over the place. And AI is a bubble?
Really?
@avidseries Chinese are also very over-represented amongst the wealthy in Indonesia, Thailand, and The Philippines.
Lebanese and Armenian diaspora communities seem to be similarly successful.
Is it more culture or genetics?
@esaagar I feel like Thomas Massie, Jamaal Bowman, and Cori Bush’s Congressional races all have something in common, but I can’t quite put my finger on it…
@LegendaryEnergy What do you think the primaries will look like in the next election? I’m hoping for major challenges to the neocon/neoliberal establishment on both sides, but I don’t know who those America-first candidates would be…
@C_3C_3 Agreed. A lot of it will come down to powering data centers and keeping them cool. Nuclear power production and underwater data centers will be key.
This “peace” that he was building was mostly an alliance against Iran to gear up for the inevitable war. Israel had started to become de facto allies with some of the Gulf states well before Trump came to power. It’s arguably the Abraham Accords that backed Hamas into such a corner that they felt like they needed to conduct a major attack.
@LegendaryEnergy The UK holds itself to much higher standards than to let some antisemite like Kanye into its country!
It only welcomes in former Al-Qaeda leaders who are now heads of state…
If Trump is not removed very soon, I will be convinced that the Washington establishment has long wanted to nuke Iran, but has just been waiting for the perfect fall guy to absorb the inevitable fallout…
@catturd2 As someone who didn’t vote but wanted Trump to win and was excited about the coalition that he built, I think he needs to be removed from office immediately…
@esaagar I think the effect is quite different now due to social media, and the fact that circling the moon is no longer novel.
What we are doing is technologically the same as what was done 58 years ago, but 58 years before Apollo 8 was only 7 years after Kitty Hawk…
@MsVeteranTeach@DefiantLs Haha I don’t need an anonymous account to tell me who I hung out, as I remember it quite clearly
Which Muslim countries have you lived in?
@MsVeteranTeach@DefiantLs I literally just gave a breakdown of the situation in each place, and I explicitly said that it is NOT all Muslims. You are just mad that I’ve actually been to these places and hung out with locals, so I can debunk your bullshit…
