It’s real. The way they get their money to spend is by taking loans out with the stock as collateral. So when it goes down he has less money to spend fucking with society.

Lots of coders on lemmy. Anyone want to make one of those tracker websites for how much money Elon musk has lost based on his stocks decreasing in value? I have a feeling it will be relevant soon.

then what are all those cameras for?

Because America doesn’t have any security cameras right?

Why is winnie the pooh bad?

This is entirely unserious liberal nonsense. You cannot win arguements on policy or outcome so you create these made up things to be mad about.

why can’t I talk about Tiananmen Square?

Not only can you talk about it you can go there. Since you are referring to “The Tiananmen Square Massacre” I would challenge you to actually learn about it.

Sure does. 中国很好 :)

Oh okay. I just assumed you were a like rabidly anti-China person sorry. I don’t think the US would care much about the person getting the GPU tho. They’d more go after the smugglers themselves. Maybe they’d ask him some questions about where it came from but he didn’t do the smuggling so can’t get him for that. And I imagine China would have something to say about one of their citizens being arrested in the US on a charge like “owning a GPU”. So he’d probably be fine.

What do you think China is, like seriously. I am curious. Do you seriously think the “evil CCP” is going to see this guy get a gift at his wedding and black bag him? If you ever went to China you’d realize not only is it the safest country on Earth, but the police there are very nice, and understanding. People are treated with dignity. Even if you break the law they take your character and circumstances into account. There’s a reason the government has such high approval ratings there. It’s a common thing there for people to not be worried about issues such as AI because they say, “Well the government won’t let anything bad happen.” They fully trust that to be true. Because the track record is so good.

You know what would actually be sad? If you got your son a fucking super expensive gift for his wedding and he barely reacted. It’s entirely normal to give gifts at a wedding. That’s literally what a registery is for! In fact the entire POINT of a wedding for most of history was to have a ceremony where the two young people would come together and both of their families would shower them in gifts to help them start their life together.

Novels are art. English teachers are not teaching you how to write as an art form. This is because our schools are designed to make good little worker bees. They are teaching you language so that you can then go on to learn technical writing. Now, I do think they should split the two apart, and let kids experiment and have fun with writing. That does not mean that they are wrong. Technical writing requires precision and a strict adherance to rules. It is the same concept as it being entirely fine to have a bit of fun when painting a mural, but not when you’ve been hired to paint someones house.

You literally just started your sentence with a conjunction. At the very least practice what you preach.

I rotate. Like something in the microwave.

Well as we all know cameras are extremely rare and bespoke pieces of technology. Not exactly easy to come by.

You are right. I phrased that improperly. I should have said that those things can help. I was wrong to frame it as if it was a complete solution for everyone. I didn’t mean to speak for others experiences with their own mental health, and if they feel medication is what works best for them then I support them in taking it.

I have ADHD and do not do any medications and do not injest caffeine either. You really just need to exercise properly. If you start the day with exercise, and take a break mid day to exercise again, like going on a walk or jog, it’ll keep you feeling more focused and motivated. Diet matters a lot too.

Don’t bother. Delayed release is bullshit. Just dumping powder in there should get the same result.

Just admit you are scared to die. It’s okay. We all are. And a lot of us would. But we do it anyway so our children don’t have to.

Has Nukes: (Pyongyang)

Doesn’t Have Nukes: (Tehran)

I’m not surprised. It feeds into the idea so many people like to think that everyone who disagrees with them is just a bot. But hate to be the bearer of bad news here: Trump is the President. Bots don’t vote. Somebody was out there voting for that asshole, and I’m sure plenty of them own a computer.

Yeah there for awhile there were 2 variants of the exact same meme template about this that were the top 1 and 2 posts in my “All” tab. Was kinda weird.

For me it’s more like “which one of these is least likely to give me a rash”
