We can use verification mountain dew cans. No big deal.

Sadly, the Sicilians and Marians definitely did not regain power after Pompey said that to them. They did get purged though.

So the starlink simulators its deploying right now are empty platters that will burn up in the atmosphere from what I understand. Next missions they’ll be real statlink sats. Are these different than regular sats? It sounds like they’re able to handle more bandwidth but I don’t know.

Maybe during electronic countermeasures? Only way to transmit information is through sound when the EM bandwidth is being disrupted.

Is this a bit? Are you channeling your inner Jeff Albertson? I don’t feel like this is even real. Almost like a response from Gemini itself to give a parody anecdote about itself.

I sort of get it I guess.

Struggle builds character or whatever.

The things I enjoy aren’t because I’m the best at them. I don’t care that software could crush me at reading or playing games. Or a robot can lift more weight than I can or hike a trail faster than me. A robot could surely crush me at laying out on the beach and snorkeling.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Enjoy what you want without thinking about how much worse you are than someone or something else.

Cook because you like it or have to do it for financial reasons. Write because you enjoy it (or have to for financial reasons). You get the point.

Tech is special! Think about the margins, the gains, the $$$!

I’m not sure. Is Elysium style healthcare an inevitable eventuality? Maybe.

I suppose humanless healthcare is better than nothing for the poors.

But as a HENRY - I want a human with AI and robotic assist, not just some LLM driving a scalpel and claw around.

Are you shadow banned? I can only upvote and comment on this single edited comment from you.

Are edited comments unflagged somehow? Weird.

Trump/Musk.

Trump is a catastrophic disaster. Just wait for Q1 and Q2, little boy. Go watch some YouTube.

The country’s citizens who aren’t part of the two personality cults are becoming violently opposed to the extra legally acting billionaire who is high on ketamine cutting up the 80 year old system that made him extraordinarily wealthy?

Greed brings Americans together. That’s what makes America great. Only a small market correction and no official Q1 data and swing suburbia is starting to notice. Any further erosion of wealth or actual recession and Republicans are fucked.

US giving up its place after 80 years so the gerontocracy can still feel relevant and in charge is a black swan event. We’ll correct to 30% of current value and trade sideways for 20 years.

Regular people talking about making money while giving up the world order? Rofl. You’re not in the club! Carlin already told you that.

What I’m saying is - permanently changing the world order and inducing a recession is not going to be politically popular in the US over 4 years. Republicans will lose the mid terms and the presidential election. Their plan will be blocked because it’s going to take a long time to unwind the current order. How will they protect their incomplete plan and maintain it over the long term? If they are not successful over the short term then over the long term it will unravel. So what’s the plan?

Elon will be uplifted into the next level of the simulation? Is that the plan?

So you think this greater good is going to happen in less than 2 years?

Inducing a recession to change the world order back to mercantilism isn’t going to be popular in practice. Drunks in a pub might think it sounds great over their back of the napkin math - but that’s just talk. When the rubber meets the road and the Republican party fails here, which it will, what happens? They either have a perfectly executed plan and everything is miraculously wonderful or they lose the midterms and that’s it. So either the plan is to suppress or prevent elections or just transfer wealth and lose while the world order gets overturned.

It’s easy to talk about stagflation and have this little academic discussion. However when this political motivated recession drops your party’s popularity drastically - which will happen - what will you do? How will you keep the ball moving? Do you think it be done before mid term elections? Or are elections irrelevant now?
