I fucking hate this phrase. You have the choice to not participate and be a normal human instead of a sociopath.

Hate the players because they perpetuate the game.

And nothing will come out of it, as always.

It’s because there is no such thing as optimisation anymore. Websites are bloated to the gills with terrible animations and tracking scripts.

76 is a fun brainless Fallout multiplayer. I’d rather have a real Fallout MP instead of 76, but I can’t lie and had over 100hrs of fun.

Having the capabilities to take on debt helps to garner investments.

You can do a joint venture, take on a bit of debt but get more money of it.

And we’ve seen many mega corpos finance their venture throught debt (see Uber business model).

So I’d say that it was true in the past, but corpos are getting bolder.

The point is that major shareholder will try to hide insider knowledge to sell their stock before a big crash.

They pump the stock value as much as possible and sell it before it crashes. They make a shit ton of money and some suckers are left holding the bag.

Because higher stock value means more collateral for debt.

You’d be surprised on how much debt is used in even small companies.

There was a meme going around a month or so ago of 5 AI companies jerking off, representing the circular financing that this article talks about.

From the moment these “investments” were announced, people were already raising flags about circular investments.

Grim Dawn is not a live game service.

Last Epoch promised to only have MTX and pay only once to get the full experience. That’s not the case anymore.

Last Epoch studio got bought out and people were afraid they were gonna get enshittified and it is happening right now.

Republicans are such pieces of shit. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.

All the fucking terrible things Trump has said and now the line has been crossed? They just try to slowly show that they were against Trump after all but still enabling him and his admin.

I hope they are not forgotten and dragged into the streets like the traitors they are. They made planet earth a worst place to be and they will continue to do so until the day they die.

I don’t know man, we gotta start somewhere

To make machines that you can have sex with.

They keep the lie alive to appease the stocks market happy.

And he didn’t specify how shitty the complex tasks will be done.

If the apartment/house layout is good for the roomba, it is a great tool. It doesn’t replace vacuuming and floor washing, but it does reduce the dirtness on the floor.

Private healthcare isn’t though. You have to pay.

It’s also market manipulation.

1. Annouce tariffs
2. Markets drop
3. Trump and friends buy low
4. Reduce/Remove targetted tariffs
5. Markets rehydrate a bit
6. Sell shares bought low
7. Profits

If the US justice system was remotely functioning, Trump and many of his admin would be rotting in jail right now and we wouldn’t have come this far in the fascist state.

The courts have pushed half a funding of the SNAP?! What a victory for all the Americans! Hurray! How about shutting that shit down completely and hand the Trump admin its ass like it ought to?

Imagine celebrating what is going on right now with the SNAP funding as a win?

So yeah, the judges are chicken shit and they’ve failed the people.

How fucking dense do you have to be. I answer your questions, somehow I moved the goal post?

The Trump admin is literally kidnapping people in the street and somehow the justices are doing fine work? Like, how is this even a start for a discussion here? How is that not shut the fuck down and Trump and his fucking croonies not in jail? Because the judges are fuckwits.

The US justice system is dead, the US is fully a fascist country now and we are all worst for it.

How many people were deported in countries they aren’t even from without a due process?

ICE is literally kidnapping in broad daylight and are emboldened to ignore the right to a due process.

The SNAP benefits are paid in spite of the court orders. The USDA is defying Trump’s order. The Court of Appeals decision was paused late last night (Friday) by Justice Ketajni Brown Jackson until the first circuit of appeals issue a judgement on the matter.

In your first example, it is the USDA defying Trump’s order. Ketanji Brown Jackson just paused the order to pay full SNAP benefits until the appeal on the first circuit not even a day after the Court of Appeals maintained that SNAP benefits had to be paid in full even with the shutdown in place.

In your second example, it isn’t even a court order, it’s just Elon Musk bootlickers realising that he did a lot of shit, rehiring federal workers so that the government can somewhat function.
