I’ll play: dozens of kids could be directly mowed down by the police officers. Which actually just supports your original call to defund/dismantle the Uvalde police department.

And then imagine the 50-car pileups that result from software bugs and/or dropped connections.
Wait, the cars are mating and producing spawn too? Damn, we’re extra fucked now.
Add this to the pile of reasons not to buy a Tesla

Fine, but again, let’s also not kid ourselves that (more) Democrats will save us, given all the DINOs we already have. Democrats have shown over and over that collectively, they’re fine with the status quo - or even things getting worse - as long as they can keep getting campaign donations, getting re-elected, and…
*if* they expand the court. i’d love for it to happen, but Biden and most of the DNC leadership is refusing to take steps to expand it - often even publicly standing against court packing. so Republicans won’t do it under a Democratic president, and Dems apparently won’t do it even when they control the Presidency,…

I don’t know, but I’m guessing Stardust’s business model relies on transmitting data to and from some server or servers. The app itself is free but maybe they’ve got bonus features you gotta pay for, maybe they serve you ads, maybe both, maybe some other way for Stardust to make money from users now or in the future.…
Please, people, don’t take the bait. Amazon is an awful company, and typically their Prime Days offer a couple/few shitty deals on products you don’t need, and weren’t even considering buying until Amazon decided to offer a sale (or should I say “sale”?) on them. It’s probably even worse than Black Friday in some…
ETA: some people have gotten their loans discharged (or at least some part of their loans) because the school they went to sucked - usually private schools/colleges that are really glorified diploma mills. But even there, you’ll have to do a lot of work to even apply, and your work may not be rewarded; my guess is…
I’m not sure if such a program exists; I’ve been out of “the game” for awhile. My advice to people is usually to call whoever services their loans and ask them; hopefully the borrower connects with a representative that’s relatively competent ;) Of course there’s also a lot of information online, but some of it’s more…
Yeah, I’d say Reagan was one of the worst - if not the worst - US presidents in modern history (although sure, Trump is a strong contender!) The Reagan Administration really paved the way for a lot of “this shit” we’re facing today, no doubt.
It’s not they’re pulling some old recording that they’ve been holding onto from Grandma’s Alexa to really creep you out.
Sometimes the minimum payment doesn’t even pay the interest accruing, let alone any of the principal. The ACA introduced “income-based” or “income-contingent” payment plans where in some cases your minimum payment is literally $0. For people who qualify for and choose one of these plans, your interest will probably…
I imagine most don’t even want to give “the next mr/ms programmer more money cause he plays nicer” either. In general they want to shaft *all* their employees as much as possible (although sure, maybe some more than others), even though it often backfires on them - either through decreased productivity, or employees…
This is tied to an idea I’ve had for a long time for an app that helps you shop based on companies you want to boycott. So when you are shopping you can scan the barcode or search the company’s name to see how they rank on a variety of metrics tied to the environment, social justice, etc.
I think we should just wrap this up. I’m hearing a lot of “we’re talking about stablecoins [or whatever]” when I don’t recall ever agreeing to the scope of this conversation, or at least what you do and don’t find relevant, or significant, or “stable”...
Again: Stop thinking about Bitcoin and Ethereum and the like. I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about stablecoins.
You’re still thinking of crypto as if it’s like a stock investment.
