If you want to see where this ends up, look up what Erdogan did with interest rates, how it crashed the lira and economy is still struggling even after he back tracked.

You have to be an idiot to gamble at these sites. I already feel like an idiot for having money in the stock market with all the insider trading, but thanks to inflation you’re fucked if you do and fucked if you don’t.

Lemmy ate my post, going to try again;

Some men like to take charge in their relationship, other men like their women to take charge. (It’s a spectrum of course.)

Your choice of words to describe yourself as “not real” suggests that you might need to work on your self confidence, and you might not be projecting a take charge attitude.

The overlap of men that like to take charge, and are also going on dates with trans women might be small.

The men that you’re meeting might be more likely to be interested in a woman that takes charge.

So next time you’re on a date, remember that this person has already accepted who you are. They’re not doing you a favor and settling for a “not real” woman, they are interested in you.

At the same time, it’s also totally ok if you are looking for a man that takes charge, just keep in mind it is going to take some looking and don’t give up. ❤️

This is how they claim autopilot is safer than human drivers. In reality Tesla has one of the highest fatality rates but magically all of those happen when autopilot was “off”

Ha only if. Autopilot turns off right before a crash so that Tesla can claim it was off and blame it on the driver. Look it up.

I love that he’s out there risking his life for beer

House looks super nice. How do you like it there, why did you guys make the move?

Expecting fascism to solve inequality is like expecting a boulder to help you swim. I’m curious how many people actually just want society to essentially collapse because they feel left out. That’s where we’re kinda headed.

They’re all racing to build super intelligent AI. The first one to get there could essentially become God. So zelon and mark are desperately trying to buy time.

Maybe we’re strawmaning each other. I would be fine with a 1-2% tax on billionaire wealth that’s sitting as unrealized gains.

Taxing me on the value of my house is absolutely similar to taxing unrealized gains. If my house gained value that doesn’t mean my income did. There is no guarantee that I can afford it. I can’t sell my house to pay the tax. The same arguments used to defend billionaires applies to me as well, but somehow we’re supposed to feel bad for them but we’re ok with the middle class paying essentially the same thing as unrealized gains on the asset they own that’s mostly likely 99% of their net worth.

Can you tell me what is broken with expecting someone that holds $100b in unrealized gains to pay %1 tax on it

That’s all great but then why the fuck am I paying property tax on my house that is mostly unrealized gains. Before you go arguing to abolish property tax, I’m fine with it. My property tax goes to make my neighbor better, and provide services and schooling for my neighbors.

Billionaires become rich because their companies benefit from highways, regulated internet, a public educated work force, etc… so they should pay their fare share.

Taxing unrealized gains for 99% is ok, it should be the same for the 1%.

I sent a rot13 encoded message and tried to get the unfiltered model to write me back in rot13. It immediately “thought” about user trying to bypass filtering and then it refused.

I tried sending an encoded message to the unfiltered model and asked it to reply encoded as well but the man in the middle filter detected the attempt and scolded me. I didn’t get an email though.

So they need to keep the victim’s card next to one phone, and then they can use another internet connected phone elsewhere to make a purchase. Doesn’t sound that scary to me. If they already have my card then does it matter how far away they can make a purchase?

I ask for one if I suspect they’ll get my order wrong and I have a paper trail.

You’re making zero sense. What is your argument I don’t even get it.

You see, “Other countries” includes the rest of the world. You build whatever fits the country, be it wind or solar or hydro. I don’t understand what you’re saying.

You can absolutely copy this. Just build solar where there’s no wind.

That’s horrible. Can’t even imagine.

Having gone through what is essentially sleep deprivation torture when raising twins, I believe this and the guilt would be unimaginable.
