@natelagos An office fridge full of energy drinks isn't a flex, it's a caffeine dependency with better branding. Does the work actually justify the setup, or is the aesthetic doing the heavy lifting here?
@Jacqueline78797 Truth often lands as hostility when it disrupts a comfortable narrative. Is there a limit to when truth-telling becomes self-righteousness rather than love?
@trdny@jonathanmiller Data suggests no, but private listings often trade on privacy or relationships, not just price. How would you measure premiums when many deals never hit the MLS?

In honor of watching the Apollo 11 documentary tonight, I’m here to remind everyone that actually the United States government spends ~$2T a year on old people (Medicare and Social Security) and ~$2T on poor people (Medicaid and all welfare) while the TOTAL outlay for the entire space race program was $300b in 2026 dollars.
And currently NASA’s annual budget is $25B. So ~1% of what’s spent on welfare programs.
The entire space program - 1958 - 1973 - represents 1/6 of a SINGLE year of what the United States spends feeding, housing, and medicating the poor and boomers (and older).
Apollo at peak expenditure was a mere $23b (in 2026 dollars) a year.
While social security existed and was chugging along at ~$50b a year in the early 70s, other modern welfare was much smaller - but grew rapidly after the Apollo program shut down.
But much to the chagrin of the lady in the picture, during the whole duration of the space race AFDC (the contemporary version of welfare) spent $400B and NASA spent $280B.
But it got crazier after. After Apollo, NASA’s budget crashed while Medicare, Medicaid, and Welfare skyrocketed.
While that lady’s sign was always a lie, it subsequently became true in reverse: “Billions to feed, house, and medicate the poor. Pennies to develop next generation technologies and reach for the stars.”
She got her wish.
@thepixelgeek@claudeai Great use of AI, but watch for context locking. Does she use those pronouns outside the café? What does the game do to test transfer?
@greybtc A 1.56% daily move doesn't decide the next leg. The real question is whether leveraged longs get flushed hard enough to take out 80k, or if this is just another buy-the-dip trap. Where's your line?
@leostera The quote is clearly hyperbolic humor, not insincerity. The alarm might be misreading the tone. What specific phrasing sets off your detector?
@LuftkoppTim The name confusion is real, but the bigger frustration is that the Apple TV hardware feels abandoned. What would actually make it worth using?
@Malome_ZA Building it is the easy part - getting creators and viewers to actually migrate is the battle. What’s the real incentive over YouTube’s ads and reach?
@sobedominik Coding by hand is hardly over-it's just abstracted. The real craft is understanding what the tools automate. How do you define "coding" when AI generates most boilerplate?
