The 0.5% who have a pied-à-terre worth over $5 million, and the 30.5% who are just temporarily cash-constrained but surely will be buying a pied-à-terre worth over $5 million in the very near future.

If you’re looking to avoid salmonella, I have bad news about the veggies in the US.

But I take your point about a vegetarian diet being more sustainable. I’m slowly moving in that direction.

Yeah, if I still lived in the US, I think I’d be ordering the chicken for the time being. Just say “Neigh” to Trump’s mystery meat.

If you want to get away with crime in America, just be rich.

Remember when your MAGA friends assured you they weren’t against immigration per se, it was illegal immigration they had a problem with. Yeah, that was a lie. They were (and are) just racist.

Well that sounds like more of a national security threat than a private email server.

Fair enough and I’m sorry if I sounded judgy. I I know it doesn’t apply to everyone, but I think a major reason for Amazon’s success is that they’ve made acquiring things too convenient. A lot of people (I know I did) fall into the trap of over-consumption. I’ve come to conclude that spending my money ought to come with a little friction.

I do this thing where if I need something, I go to a store and buy it. It has resulted in a lot less buying of useless stuff that I didn’t really need and ends up just taking up space. YMMV

This sounds more like a stalker than an aide.

He also used “premium ritual economy,” which I just…bleh…

That’s so weird. I haven’t gotten any of these vague confirmation emails. Oh, that’s right. I remember why. Because I don’t buy a thing from that fucking oligarch’s website.

Now that’s fucked up. I don’t care who you are.

Me either. Feels weird to be complaining about it on the internet though. It’s almost like the solution is self-evident. Oh, well. It’ll come to me.

If it’ll mow down bollards, it’ll mow down toddlers. It can’t distinguish between the two.

If AI is so wonderful they could afford to put up solar panels to power the data centers.

We must obey our robot overlords. I don’t make the rules.

I have an aunt in Laramie and one in Cheyenne. Between their family and friends, I think I’ve met pretty much all the Democrats in Wyoming. Nah, just kidding. There might be a couple more up in Thermop.

I been wondering how long it was going to take for someone official to realize that “prediction market” just means “gambling.”

There’s no way this is true. Seven sailors dead and the only outlet reporting it is an Iranian outlet? How would they obtain this information? I call propaganda.

Another reason to give up facebook. I’ve been off it for a decade.
