I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to hear
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
It's easy to say
But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now, I need somebody to know
Somebody to hear
Somebody to have
Just to know how it feels
It's easy to say but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around
For now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
But now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

Just learned my dad has been in a prank war with his coworker for 19 years. It started when the coworker stole my dad's sandwich in 2005. My dad retaliated by filling his spare car keys with pudding. It escalated. We're talking hiring a mariachi band to follow him, swapping his contacts with fake ones, elaborate schemes. I found out because the coworker just retired and my dad seemed genuinely sad. My mom was like "honey, are you okay?" and he goes "I just realized Steve was my best friend." MY MOM GOES "STEVE? THE GUY YOU PUT ON A BILLBOARD?" Yeah. Apparently five years ago my dad paid $2000 to put Steve's face on a billboard that said "This man thinks he's better than you." They never had a normal conversation. Never got lunch. Never hung out. Just pure psychological warfare for two decades. My dad's now worried he doesn't know how to make friends normally. He's 56.

Cool personal website bro, but can you interact with it through a custom n64 ROM that is using left over space in the emulator's RAM to communicate with the site?

@Mlozac Muchísimas gracias María! No me puedo creer que tú te acordaste y que el que falló fue el interesado! Abrazo fuerte!!

[María Loza @Mlozac]

Muchas felicidades @tfserna ¡¡Viva San Fermín!!

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

you must see LLMs as intelligence amplifiers and their amplification depends on your actual intelligence

so, if your IQ is 135+, with AI you can perform at the current AI maximum and it feels like real magic

if you’re 120-135, you get a good 50% buff

If you’re 105-120, you get a 25%

90-105, nothing changes

below 90 it makes you more stupid

Maturing in marriage is realizing that when your husband says he'll do anything for you.

He means fighting bad guys and dragons and shit.

Not folding clothes, washing dishes and house stuff.

⚡️This is digital empire enforcement.

Trump is treating Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and the broader U.S. platform stack as strategic national assets.

Europe wants to tax the rents those platforms extract from European users. Trump is threatening to tax Europe’s physical exports in response.

That is the entire power equation: Europe taxes American digital extraction, America punishes European goods access.

The deeper signal is that Big Tech has fully crossed into protected sovereign infrastructure. These companies are no longer just corporations in the geopolitical sense. They are American tax-base extensions, intelligence surfaces, AI distribution channels, cloud infrastructure, payment rails, app-store gates, ad markets, identity layers, and information-control systems.

Europe’s Digital Services Tax is a claim that value created inside Europe should be taxable by Europe. Trump’s tariff threat is a claim that American platform rents are part of American power and cannot be skimmed by foreign governments without retaliation.

That is the real fight: who gets to tax the empire’s operating system.

Europe has a structural problem. It has consumers, regulators, courts, and rulebooks. It does not have equivalent platform giants. So Europe tries to use regulation and taxation to claw back power from U.S. tech. America has the platforms, the cloud, the AI layer, the capital markets, the defense umbrella, and the consumer import market. Trump is using the one tool Europe fears immediately: access to U.S. demand.

This is a brutal asymmetry.

Germany exports cars and machinery.

France exports luxury and aerospace.

Italy exports goods.

Spain exports goods and services.

Europe sells physical products into America.

America sells digital dependency into Europe.

Trump is saying: touch the digital tribute stream, and the physical export stream gets hit.

The market should read this as part of the same regime as chips, AI controls, dollar settlement, critical minerals, and data-center politics. Strategic sectors are being nationalized without formal nationalization. The state does not need to own them to defend them. It only needs to treat attacks on their profits as attacks on national power.

The likely outcome is intimidation followed by bargaining. Europe will posture. Export industries will panic. Some countries will delay, dilute, carve out, or negotiate. A full 100% tariff would be a trade bomb, but the threat itself is designed to make the bomb unnecessary.

The darkest truth: globalization is being replaced by imperial accounting.

Countries are no longer arguing over efficiency. They are arguing over who gets the rents from digital life, industrial exports, data, platforms, energy, chips, and money rails.

Trump is drawing a tariff wall around America’s digital empire.

Europe is trying to tax the platforms it failed to build.

America is responding with the market access Europe cannot afford to lose.
