- Comment on What are the most popular conspiracy theories? 1 day ago:
there certainly were a lot of suspiciously timed, and very risky, trades before the crashes
- Comment on how do you deal with those characters fully convinced a job is something you have to enjoy? 1 day ago:
do you understand just how incredibly easy money is to get in a bull market/bubble? they print a literal infinite amount of the stuff, and the richest of our society gamble with it at digital casinos so they can watch lines go up instead of spending it in the real world.
if you learn the rules to that casino, you would never have to work another day in your life.

- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 6 days ago:
hey, I dont think nimby’s are as much a problem outside of the biggest-most organized cities.
our democratic participation is so shit across the board all it would take is a decently coordinated ad-campaign to sweep in whatever local government reforms you could want
the bigger issue (imo) is finding someone with the capital/connections required to get big projects like high-density housing started, who isnt also just another rich piece of shit.
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 6 days ago:
remove all speculation incentives from housing, fuck remove all speculation incentives full-stop, and maybe all these rich cunts will actually do something with their $ (like build homes) instead of jerk themselves off while watching lines go up.

any other fruit with a load of sugar made into bread form tastes the same or better than banana bread
- Comment on Banana 6 days ago:
bananas are mid anyway, like red apples. nothing of value lost
they dont even have a lot of potassium, you’d have to eat like 70 bananas to get rdv of potassium.
you want rdv potassium (or most any other vitamin) you need to eat fucking vegetables

- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 1 week ago:
sodium-ion is better than acid-lead in every use case (theoretically, when the tech reaches maturity), unlikely to beat lithium ion and others for the high-capacity/low weight type stuff but far as cheap/environmentally safe batteries goes sodium-ion should quickly dominate the field.
- Comment on Hundreds of Instagram accounts push graphic real-life violence to millions, CBS News finds 1 week ago:
my worry is that as this non-federated stuff picks up steam…it’s only a matter of time till the “influencers” and stealth advos follow. they’re parasites that follow any sufficiently large gathering of humans

there is one consolation atleast…consolidation makes this problem easier to fix, in theory

and how do we go about doing this, the best I got is…well…looking at who funds AIPAC and connecting the dots
- Comment on Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPT 2 weeks ago:
cool, so…how do you get this messaging about UBI through the propaganda machine when something as basic as universal healthcare cant get through?
- Comment on Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPT 3 weeks ago:
and again…how do you imagine your getting to that point in a country that can’t even agree people deserve access to healthcare at all, let alone affordable/quality healthcare…
- Comment on Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPT 3 weeks ago:
there is no constitution and never was, they said all men created equal while watching slaves pick their food
- Comment on Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPT 3 weeks ago:
we dont even have universal healthcare or functional public transit, UBI is a pipedream…

- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 3 weeks ago:
what are the good sources nowadays…been out of the game for awhile and it’s to trust any sites promoted on any mainstreamish social networks.
like freemediaheckyeah, old reddit hub…is that still good?
ime every pirate source had 50/50 shot of turning into some virus/scam honeypot shortly after reaching high enough popularity

- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 4 weeks ago:
no, Trump is a braindead puppet for whoever has his ear last.
Shumer and Co. amd McConnel and Co. are establishment.
Carter with Rockefeller’s congress, during the last (long) Dem super-majority…proceeded to tie the american pension system into the casino.
Obama, suring that short super-majority, passes Romneycare…a blank check for corporations to ratfuck publicfunds.
that is the establishment
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 4 weeks ago:
idfk, just a book that (in my eyes, considering it’s age and how well it still applies to today) showed beyond any shadow of a doubt the whole thing really is bullshit.
moreso than any movie/drama saying the same thing which I’d probably seen a dozen times over the years, a dusty century old book laying it all out there removed any doubt whatsoever for me. especially when cross-examined to peculiar differences I noticed comparing US financial markets to others around the world (which generally favor stability), and who ultimately benefits most from those peculiarities.
which ultimately means that it isnt gambling/speculation…if you utilize proper risk management and know (all of) the rules to whatever imaginary line your betting on, whose moving what, what they want, and how you best make $ of their $
until, eventually, your port is large enough that your the one actually moving things. at which point certain strategies just don’t scale up as well as others (recall seeing a Buffet interview saying as much to some reporter).
Just…idk…the flippant way these motherfuckers fuck with the economy, all to just make their lines go up. and how deeply entwined that is/has been with the US government, going back a good…100-125 years atleast.
i’m not completely batshit crazy, I dont really believe (yet) that there is some uninterrupted conspiracy chain going all the way back to fucking moses or something, just that we’ve seemingly built our economy around one generation of psychopaths breeding another to replace them, in some fucked up game of fake-oneupmanship.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 4 weeks ago:
basically just that shits fucked, and it aint no accident/coincidence.
others on here have expanded on it, some clearer than I was expecting given what I posted so i guess it really is true, more or less.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 4 weeks ago:
i know, have started that process too recently. I’m just not used to feeling things so strongly i guess, and really don’t have anywhere else to turn to at this specific moment.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 4 weeks ago:
ph yeah, I’m not worried about $ anymore…I think that’s part of why this all came together for me tbh.
someone finally took pity on me I guess, and let me on the open-secret about the various speculation markets we monkeys seem so fascinated in.
I proceeded to make more in the last 2 months than I could working my day job for entire year (not counting OT), not worrying about bills/rent frees up a lot of thought-time I guess…
