- Comment on Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class' 1 day ago:
I will also soften my position.
I’m much happier with the way Gates uses his billions than other deathly individuals.
My point is that the phrase “giving it away” is highly misleading.

Not surprising given that Cascade Investments controls both the foundation and Bill’s personal portfolio.

He blocked Oxford university from open sourcing it’s covid vaccine so that his other vaccine investments paid off.

Giving it away allows other people to decide what to do with it.
Gates is in full control of what he “gives” away.

At least Bill gives away a lot of his money
Does he? If you still control how it is spent, are you really giving it away?

Not that they are an authority on UFOs.
The Navy is in a position of authority and doesn’t usually post prank videos.
- Comment on The window for a convincing UFO video has closed 2 days ago:
UFOs should be omnipresent, if they existed.
There are loads of sightings with videos. Take a look at r/ufo on reddit.
Ufos certainly exist. It’s the Alien part that is crackpot.
BTW. All my youtube links open with Newpipe 😉

The problem now is authentication. The evidence needs to come from someone with authority

- Comment on China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech 3 days ago:
The point is that foreigners influence elections all the time, all over the world.
Americans meddle all the time, but are the only one that start crying when it’s done to them.
- Comment on China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech 4 days ago:
It really started in 2016 when US security agencies released a joint report showing Russia was spreading misinformation to help Trump win the election.
Compare russia to the British and consider who is the bigger villain.
- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 4 days ago:
Hmm. Long term is a more difficult constraint.
I think short term can be just as effective at damaging Musk.
It’s hard to be mobile with deflated tyres.
Even just a dirty windshield and rear camera (on the top of the tailgate) will reduce Tesla share price without running the risk of a prison sentence.
- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 4 days ago:
Burning makes the world a more dangerous and polluted place.
There are much more eco friendly ways to vandalise and immobilise.

That sounds Italian American to me.
- Comment on The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce 1 week ago:
I suspect the Irish part of that description is highly misleading.
In 2025, is Irish-American culture anything more than wearing green on “St. Pattys” day and supporting Boston Celtics?
- Comment on The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce 1 week ago:
Americans totally have more knowledge and understanding of their own culture.
Irish-Americans have very little knowledge and understanding of Irish culture

Google and Amazon are mentioned in the Wikipedia article but not Microsoft.
Not defending them, just asking for better evidence.
