1a) Buy $80B in crypto.
1b) Sell the crypto for $50B.

Finally it can be explained: 1) Dig a ditch, 2) Dump in $80B, 3) Light it on fire.

That’s a poor analogy, because nobody is lying, saying things are on fire that aren’t.

We weren’t born yesterday—or at least I wasn’t. We know where this is going, and it’s folly to wait until almost the end before pushing back.

There are fascist governments demanding genital inspection for playing highschool sports

• That is already going on in the very same country we’re discussing.
• “Things could be even worse, so until things are just as bad as that, don’t complain or try to stop it from getting worse.”

In a few years, we may be smuggling in contraband Chinese RISC-V computers.

Unless it is fought, this corporate-driven rot will burrow all the way down to the sub-processor TEE/TPM and all the way up to the web browser/app.

I don’t know, but I think more Germans per capita are fluent in English than French, Spanish, or Latino people are, and maybe that has something to do with it.

Debian is 32 years old. Arch is 24 years old. Gentoo is 23 years old. Alpine is 20 years old.

Even if it were to exist in the short run, it wouldn’t be stable. The predictor must be predicting somehow, which eventually could be at least partially sussed out, and future decisions would change as a result. Unless the predictor runs on literal magic, it would eventually no longer fit its own definition.

Mmmm, this sounds like an idealist hypothetical problem that in reality can’t exist, so to engage with it is to engage with nonsense.

The predictor rarely makes mistakes because… just because. It’s axiomatic. The predictor runs on the magic of unsupported assertion.

Are you not dismissing every other type of sausage, or did just not consider them? Because if this is about lips & assholes, almost all of them are all lips & assholes.

I don’t know. Why don’t you ask them next time?

Locking post. I wish someone had reported this rage-bait^[1] post sooner.

I’ve learned that I’ll never learn.

There is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong. — Mencken

People not only don’t know what’s happening to them, they don’t even know that they don’t know. — Chomsky

We assassinated the president and covered it up so that we can more easily identify conspiracy theorists.

How is there any utility in being able to identify a few crackpots—only the ones who happen to crack their pot on this one particular event? How is Identifying crackpots of any use to the state?

This isn’t my bailiwick, but I think Peter Dale Scott and Arron Good may have some of the best answers. I don’t pay much attention to the matter, but IIRC, James Angleton and the Dulles brothers very likely were involved. It helps to ask: who covered up what really happened?

Other than an accomplished sniper, I don’t know. I’m more interested in who had him killed.
