Just a casual collab from three of the most evil names in existence
Like I said, more bytes is more bytes. Even if it’s a niche use case, that takes pressure off of other use cases.
2·8 days agoWhat’s the implied point here? “Of course you’re against rich people exploiting everyone else — you’re everyone else! Haha!”?
More bytes is more bytes. Flood the market until big AI firms can’t afford to monopolize the hardware anymore and finally collapse so we real people can finally compute again.
You can pick your friends, you can pick your operating system…
I don’t think they’re after her for wanting to castrate pedophiles.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Oh no, they might have to run a competitive business instead of relying on artificial scarcity, price-fixing, and wage suppression. How terrible!
13·1 month agoCatching up to analysis from four years ago, I see.
The worst part is:
- By definition, we can’t austerity our way out of this.
We’re in this position because of slow productivity (lack of infrastructure investment) and extreme inequality (lack of wealth tax and lack of welfare spending).
If we simply cut — even in the areas that really need it, like military — these problems will persist and even worsen, because it’s basically saying “okay, economy’s over — winners are winners forever now”.
- Austerity will be the only viable pitch to the public.
For that reason, we should probably pitch “fossil fuel austerity”.
Fiscal conservatives like to say “the government’s spending is just like yours”, even though it’s not.
So why don’t we copy their approach and say “gas is too expensive for the government, just like it’s too expensive for you — so just like you, we’re comparison shopping and looking for a better deal… like solar!”

Experts in faces.
Graph is once again relevant:
If you’re in the bottom 90% (by income), it literally doesn’t matter what you want. Every bill has a 31% chance of passing.
If you’re in the top 10% though… it doesn’t matter what the other 90% want.
He did say he would “reign hell”.
“Descent into fascism”, “Decent ways into fascism”… easy to confuse the two.

Title is somewhat misleading. They don’t say “this is discrimination against white people”.
They say we need to “get from [people who don’t like Platner]: ‘why do you hate him so much?’ … for a lot of [them], it’s just aesthetics. He looks like someone they don’t like.”
“It’s the flip side of the early 2010s and 2000s, when the gay rights movement was getting steam. Once people started coming out of the closet — ‘oh that guy’s gay? I love that guy! And my wife is fine around him.’ This is the reverse, for liberals.”
“It’s like: ‘this is a white guy, and he’s actually pretty nice.’ A big, burly combat vet! Somebody you could see with Joe Rogan — and he’s fine. Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared.”
