What’s keeping Tesla stocks afloat are the cult retail investors who believe Elon is a god who could do no wrong.

Funny enough, despite the ugly aesthetics, there is a great sense of community in social housing.

Me: Fuck! Has it been that long??!!

Doctor: I’m afraid it’s been ten years.

Authoritarians learned that 1984-style totalitarian control doesn’t work anymore; so they tried Brave New World’s control through psychological pleasure, and it is more successful than ever imagined.

So that explains why some entries on companies don’t mention about their unscrupulous history.

Chinese base is in Philippines with Philippine governments permission!

That explains about my work laptop. I swear that I clicked shutdown before I went on two week Christmas holidays!

Are you from that part of the world? Are your fishermen being driven away by Chinese navy despite having centuries long friendly relations with Chinese fishermen? Did Philippines allow China to set up base within their maritime shores? Did you guys actually ask Vietnamese and Filipinos apart reading pre-prepared script?

The American bases are there out of the hosting countries’ permission. Weird that tankies never mention what Vietnam and Philippines think of the Chinese navy bullying their fishermen, or China not leaving the shoals that is within the 200 nautical mile from Philippines, despite the International Court of Justice ruling that China’s presence in that shoal is illegal. But you know, got to keep flipping the script as an NPC…

Weird that you did not address South China Sea…

Techno-feudalism, ladies and gentlemen.

The Nazis remilitarized which spurred short term economic growth, which was then used to pay for the extremely generous social welfare benefits to the Germans, who were appreciative of this because they were deeply traumatised by hyperinflation of the Great Depression. But this excessive government spending is turning the German wallets inside out; and the plunder of conquered nations gave Nazi Germany some needed cash injection to keep their economy going. If you don’t believe me, look up Hjalmar Schacht, Hitler’s economic minister, who warned the fuhrer that the state’s finances were nearly out in the late 1930s. Schacht’s savvy financial acumen had kept the Nazi German economy running longer than it should have been. He was dubbed the “dark wizard of finance”, partly because his confiscation of Jewish assets, before the war, yielded the Nazis much needed finances.

you have been spoiled by the cinematography of the modern age. almost 100% of all the camera tricks from the last 70 years of film history came from Citizen Kane.

Yup. I think Citizen Kane’s story is mid, but the cinematography is absolute divine. The more I think about Citizen Kane, the more I see why it’s a classic. While watching the movie, it didn’t feel like an old movie at all! The extreme low angle shot is still in my mind many years after watching Citizen Kane.

Economists said that Kamala was a better choice but people thought otherwise.

Most people don’t realise Nazi Germany was on a brink of another economic collapse before Poland was invaded.

Hitler invaded Poland to plunder the country to stave off another impending economic collapse of Germany, thanks to his runaway excessive government spending. In that sense, he was distracting the Germans from being revealed on how bad of an administrator he was. Trump invaded Venezuela and wants to annex Greenland to distract people from the fact that he is a pedophile. And that’s a helluva weirder reason to go to war for distraction…

The majority of Polish kids in my old school are unbelievably good with computers. My friend’s dad is also a self-taught electronic and IT specialist.

Now, I am really curious as to why so many Poles are tech wiz. I know GOG’s DRM-free philosophy is influenced by communism, but I can’t see how communism influenced many Poles to be good with IT as well.

Me: Come on, pop already. There are funds betting on AI bubble burst, ready for me to invest in.
