  • Costco was very clear with the tariffs that they would eat the cost and just sue because they felt it was illegal. Low and behold, it was illegal, and they are getting a refund after not raising costs like everyone else. And their customers loved them for it.

    This is actually their entire buisness model as well. They don’t really make much money from their products. They make almost 100% profit from their memberships. If I remember right, over 2/3 of their total profit comes from membership revenue. So if they piss people off and make them cancel their membership, that would really fuck them over.

    Me and some of my siblings loved it growing up, while my mom and the other siblings hated it (big family). Many years later when talking about it we found out it was a 60/40 split in the family for not having/having the cilantro=soap gene.

    Cilantro belongs on almost anything. Those who disagree can eat soap.










  • Every time they push some right wing bullshit into my feed, I would downvote it and laugh at how it only had 100 or so likes while every other video in the feel had thousands. Then they got rid of the downvote button. I think the fascists whined about getting ratio’d even if the number wasn’t posted. It is only a matter of time before they stop showing the number of likes to hide their lack of support.





  • On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively, during the final days of World War II. The aerial bombings killed 150,000 to 246,000 people. (Copied from wiki)

    The Trump administration’s decision to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths from infectious diseases and malnutrition, according to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Atul Gawande. Estimates are already between 600,000 and 750,000 so far and counting.

    This administration’s policies are already killing people around the world and has already outnumbered that of actual nuclear attacks.


  • Before others comment about the bubble part and overvaluation of AI and its impending pop, I would point out to read the article. And while you may still agree with it, it does lay out what exactly it means to be like the dot-com bubble.

    The dot-com boom was both something that changed the world forever as-well-as a bubble. AI isn’t going away and we are only seeing it in its mainstream/commercialization infancy. While it is currently seen as a bubble, over-hyped, and currently over-valued -when the bubble pops it will only reorganize into a market efficient model, not go away. Just like the dot-com bubble and the internet.
