And you really think “the elites” are the ones buying and selling here?
Yes, they have a lot of wealth in stocks, but usually they simply own a large chunk of their (or their parents) company and the rest is managed by a fund manager. And if you have millions or billions, you don’t need to think quarter to quarter.
What happened to librem anyway? They used to be all the rage, now it’s nothing.
One part is a reverse game of chicken, buy the dippest dip to realize most profit from less dippy dip buyers.
The other part is the assumption that this means the tariffs will never actually come or at least in a much relaxed form.
Hey, that’s not fair! Most of them were not killed, but only mutilated too much to be ableish-bodied enough for the russian army!
(Serious note: this is the casuality number, that includes deaths, but also soldiers with wounds that put them out of service, like lost legs)
I didn’t know NixOS has its own chroot.
I’m “chrooted” into the system, howver, user-mapping seems not to work currently. Logrotate fails to build because of a missing user ID.
EDIT: I commented out all the “advanced” features and had to add some flags.
services.logrotate.checkConfig = false; in the config solved the “user or group not found” issue and add NIXOS_SWITCH_USE_DIRTY_ENV=1to nixos-rebuild (https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Change_root).
Now it seems to work and I could piece by piece reactive all the deactivated parts.
It’s a Seagate, yes. And that might actually do work, but currently it looks more like about 2 bazillions bad sectors.
The cool air in the upper atmosphere cleans the waves, though. Obviously that doesn’t work horizontally, everybody knows that.
because that’s literally an argument Musk is pushing.
Just like children.
Also, most deaths are not immediate.
Malnutrition, HIV, even dirty water take a while to kill anyone. Arguing nobody died yet is like throwing 30 children off the roof and saying nobody’s hurt, since they’re still 5m above ground.
Trump used to be rather transactional, though.
It’s an evil logic, but there was an internal logic behind what he did in his first term. He bullied you into submission, and agreed to a deal if he thought it benefits him (him, not the USA).
Now, he’s just on full autodestruct. There’s zero logic behind it. Not even chaotic franticness like before, just erratic randomness.
Your comments strengthen my conviction that you read a philosophy book and now try to emulate what you think smart people sound like.
Yes, because you’re completely missing the point.
There is literally no risk involved for them in just staying. They had their jobs, and they could easily do the right thing by just following the law. If they were to be fired, they would still get severance of some sort. In any case, it would have slowed down Elon at least for a while.
What they did instead is resigning, thus not getting severance, not being able to slow anything down, making room for obedient bootlickers, and finally they’re now unemployed.
So tell me again: how is resigning the right move? They made the world worse, and they made their personal life worse. Literally no benefit for anyone.
Your entire argument is ex post. You see the fact that they resigned as a given and try to justify that. Why can’t you see that this is not a necessary condition?
… because they resigned. Seriously, what’s your point?
If they wouldn’t have resigned, they would still have a job. And since they couldn’t have been fired easily, they would have continued to have a job for quite a while.
That’s not a complex concept, what’s so hard to understand about that?
No. They resigned from a job. They were not fired. And as long as they don’t break any rules, it’s hard to fire them.
That’s the thing, though. They’re not really taking risks.
Much of what DOGE does is completely illegal and does not go through the proper channels and processes. By simply doing their jobs and forcing everything through the proper processes, they can slow down everything, maybe even to a halt, while being completely in the right and thus can’t be fired.
Yes, it takes a mental toll, but these guys have a responsibility.
But that’s exactly what Microsoft promised its shareholders and why they invested billions into it. They need world changing revenue to make it worthwhile.
If you’re really careful, you might see that I qualified that statement above
it killed too few people for many to care
The emphasis is there for a reason.
And BTW, that statement is not a joke, but based on actual study results. You know why? Covid having a 2% mortality also means it has a 98% survival rate - much much higher in younger healthier people. Exactly that was the problem. For the vast majority of people covid did not feel like a real threat, because it wasn’t. Long covid and the other long term effects only really came to light in 2021 and later.
I didn’t shelter in 2020 for myself, but for others. If there is no such thing a society, individuals will act like selfish assholes and don’t wear masks, get vaccinated, etc. If Covid would have caused widespread erectile dysfunction, the entire world would have been shutdown in 5min and nobody would even doubt masks.
Can’t we just have a regular old plague that kills like 30% of the population and not that sigma “I don’t really want to kill you” bullshit?
Covid was so annoying, because it killed too few people for many to care. I don’t want that again.
That’ll show him!
Don’t underestimate the stupidity of white people looking for an identity to fill the void of meaning in their lives.
Since New Zealand isn’t very big, there’s a good chance we’re just a fad away from having millions of 22 year olds getting shitty imitations onto their faces thus ruining it for the Maori.
It’s not cultural appropriation BTW, because Kaylee and Braden absolutely do have Maori heritage 409 generations ago!
