Strong agreement here. For the net-contributor class, it's absolutely brutal. 1) Incomes are lower than they used to be in the US and Europe than they used to be. Lots of talk abou…

You are not the only person; it's miserable. Let me add (3), the editor interface, possibly the most infuriatingly bad software I've had to use (for work) in the last few years. An…

For another pillar of this scary new age, look at the absolute willingness of big tech to censor anything that goes against the message of those in power.

In almost every situation like this, every principal player is an asset of some organization. An intelligence agency would be stupid not to be supporting every side of the conflict…

Honestly, for the stuff I read I totally care more about the opinion of "enthusiastic amateurs", so yeah, honey badger don't care. The more interesting part of the article is "In 2…

Dams are incredibly damaging. By contrast, every time we have a nuclear disaster, the no-go zone becomes a wildlife paradise.

I think the reason it hasn't hit consumers more is because most consumers cannot afford assets. The best analogy I can make is Ecuador, which although one of the poorest countries …

So much bullshit. Penises are literally the favorite thing of many men across human history to draw, in all shapes and sizes, any preferably the most public location. It was even a…

"The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia."

Executive Outcomes returned this last year, IIRC. They pulled off some extremely crazy thing in Indonesia a long time ago, and still have access to top talent.

Absolutely. 5th generation warfare, motherfucker. The Russians are the world's undisputed masters of this, so it's time we paramilitarize back. Also, time to fuck Russia, hard. Put…

Older demographic, less climbing. Same reason why racy xc geometry went away.

This is American techbro poor, where rampant asset inflation has been occurring ever since the government has been more or less printing money, and now buying corporate bonds (BOJ …

Did you visit one of the armored car dealerships in Polanco? They are badass.

For the first time in my life I've seen private security in my neighborhood. We're in one of the poorer areas of the city (ie $1-2.5m houses), so perhaps people cannot afford to le…

Idaho has become very expensive in the last few years. It's basically Western Wyoming, but for poors.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for those of us that need to run compute intensive tasks, like browsing the web, or compiling stuff, or running docker. There's this stupid dream th…

Wouldn't it be faster to crash a few of comet/icy moon/etc into the atmosphere? Then a decade later put big nuclear powered magnets in orbit to generate a magenetosphere so the new…

Much of the US infrastructure is complete shit. Sure, it's not Somalia, but the fact we are even having the comparison is ridiculous. We do have rolling blackout on occasion. We do…

The article doesn't say it of course, but the big question is what happens when the government keeps the dole, at least past midterm elections? There's tremendous automation happen…

Stop growing rice and fucknuts in the fucking desert. That solves the water problem.

I respect your choice tremendously. On the other hand, on plan on retiring in 2-4 more years and devoting myself to dangerous and obviously excellent adventures which will likely h…

one must imagine Sisyphus happy

I'm going to disagree the wealthy care very much. This is a giant political can which we are basically kicking down the road. The problem is middle class America has their entire n…

You should become Wanksy, but for advertisements. "Rate My Add, with totally coincidental Poo on it". Maybe there's a market for YTMND with split screen ads, poo or whatever and mu…
