I’ve never really seen any purity tests unless shit like ‘It would be nice if rich people had to obey the law’ is a purity test.

It’ll make a wonderful artificial reef, so kind of russia to begin its reperations by helping to bolster Ukraines future fishing industry.


To be fair there’s zero evidence for anything outside our own subjective experience of it, we’re just kind of running with the assumption that our subjective experience is an accurate representation of reality.


The UK already had its own epstein island moment with a child sex traficking scandal involving british parliment, it vanished inside a week.


Well the Russia report described russian money as not just accepted but ‘welcomed with open arms’ in the UK so really this is just russian ship in the waters of the country they purchased.


On the bright side with much of the world ramping up renewables for various economic and defense purposes we might see the US and Russia fuck themselves up over oil just in time for the market to collapse.


At this point that picture should be multiple layers of precariously stacked tiny pillars making up the entire base.


It outright says:
“13% of non-winners switch to favour the right-wing. By contrast, nearly 18% of the winners who get more than 500 pounds switch to the right-wing party”
That is a description of induviduals, 18% of people become more right wing, not 100% of people become 18% more right wing.


So I read the study, first of all the paper aknowledges that there’s a several point swing in voting preference between non winners and people who won less than £500 which strongly implies people who play the lottery are more likely to vote right wing to begin with. Secondly even for large wins the swing was only around 18%. At worst money does not make everyone a bad person, more like 1/5 people.


Or those were previously just assholes without money? Nice people who win the lottery likely don’t stay rich for long because they use that money to help people they know.


Does money reduce empathy or is lack of empathy just a serious advantage in acumulating money?


modern sociological research or… basic common senses? It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if you start with 10x as much money as everyone else in a game of monopoly you’re almost certainly going to win that game.


For americas enemies: Don’t interupt your enemy in the process of making a mistake.
For americas allies: Don’t poke a wounded bear.


Not gonna get that far, other countries are holding less and less US debt as colateral which is unfortunately an even worse problem.


That’s the point though, you wouldn’t need it advertised to you 24/7 because your family and friends would already be all over it.


But the rights offer is practically openly ‘We want to make everything worse for everybody’ shouted with extreme enthusiasm for some reason.


I’m NGL If my job put in the position to be the one testing nukes it would be very tempting to do so even without pay just on a ‘oonga boonga big boom’ basis. Unfortunately I’m educated enough to know how awful that is for the environment, also not a nuclear test engineer or whatever the job title even is.


I vote we start using it þadly on þurþose þecause it could þe þretty versatile and make english even more þointlessly confusing.


I won’t hear a word against president camacho, guy was completely uneducated but actually pretty intelligent all things considered. Aknoweldged things were fucked but that he couldn’t fix them, created a national program to find someone who could and upon finding that person immediately put them in charge. Better leader than most in the western world right now.
Nah LLMs can at least do grammar, the sum of the text may be nonsense but the induvidual sentences tend to be pretty perfect. We don’t yet have the technology to re-create covfefe.
