SoCal gas is at least $6.85 a gallon.
Not that high. In the 5s.
That would be double my cost of gas where I am from 2 years ago. That's insane.

Ask and ye shall receive: https://manifold.markets/benmanns/aliensgov-prop-bets (play money). I set this up so multiple can resolve and other users can add additional speculations.
This is so smart. Gambling with fake money.
I love the idea of polybet but would never invest into it. Gonna check this out

If you wish to divert from the discussion of whether free and fair elections is still possible in the USA, and would rather enter the meta-discussion, I'll bite, and cite Wikipedia: > Godwin's law can be applied mistakenly or abused as a distraction, a diversion, or even censorship, when miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole even when the comparison made by the argument is appropriate. https://en.wikipedia.o…

#108Fuck CAPTCHAs.
exactly what a bot would say.
A bot, sure, but also an extra terrestrial intelligence. Unless we’re talking a Stargate or The Magicians type of scenario where humans exist on a lot of different worlds. After all, they tend to ask you to prove you’re a human.
If they ask you to prove you’re not a robot, then we get into discussing sentient robots from other worlds.
What we’d be really interested in proving if we found proof of other intelligent life is personhood.

https://x.com/dhsgov/status/2034000845503693180?s=46 There is this promotional campaign on-going, it could be related https://www.dhs.gov/cbphome It seems to be an incentive for voluntarily departure
I had heard of that but it wasn’t until you posted the link that I actually read through it.
My question after actually reading it though is simple - how does it prevent fraud? Like you just need GPS and a selfie to verify. No bank account required! Since the nominal case is undocumented you don’t have ground truth to check against. What is stopping someone from using an eSIM, OpenClaw, and an emulator from self-deporting thousands of virtual persona at $2600 profit
It just seems poorly considered. I don’t know if they really thought this through.
