Anyone wanna play Tanaris at The Station?
Anyone wanna play Tanaris at The Station?
Amelie’s, Charlotte, NC. Used to go there all the time at night. 24/7 bakery, lounge, student study area.
The original building was torn down, which is sad, but I’ll always have the memories.
Nope, just relatively. Though how do you want to define consciousness could change my nope to a yes. It’s all about the definition.
All I can see when I read this comment is a plaque to blind confidence. Don’t take it the wrong way, I don’t mean it as a wholly a bad thing… maybe 90% bad, 10% admiration. Confidence is powerful, but it works best when paired with other traits.
…but back to the thread, unless you’re involved in this topic at an academic level, can you explain the reasoning behind the confidence you appear to have in your perspective?
Another one bites the dust.
I admit it, I once assumed Elon was a genius.

Okay, not a genius, but a good businessman.

Okay, a bad businessman, a good PR person.

Okay, a bad PR person, but not a Nazi.

Well fuck, he’s a Nazi supporting conspiracy theorist.
God damn, if I was that wrong about one person. I’m just gonna stop having opinions about famous people. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
There is a more extreme version of doomerism which is accelerationism.
So sure, we may be doomed, and since no one is doing anything about it in time… fuck it, let’s speed things up. Build more coal, clear cut forests, kill every insect. Let’s show people how bad it can get and how fast. No one’s grandchild gets a future.
The nice thing about this worldview is that you wake up every morning to good news. New oil pipelines, shrinking aquifers to cool data centres, a couple dozen more extinct species, etc.
This belief system sees humans as a plague on the planet that is luckily self-healing. Good luck to the next wave of humans in 2-30 million years.
Sounds crazy right? Maybe, but since the only historical alternative is class violence, …and since that’s a no-no topic, we are left with the choice to accept a terminal diagnosis and just die like a good peon. We wouldn’t want to inconvenience rich people.
The same rich people who have been spending the past two decades building reinforced under-mountain bunkers and meeting with security advisors for tips on how to keep human security in line in a world where money has no value. But no, that’s just a hobby, they totally don’t think the world is in trouble.
I did not know that, thank you.
Keep in mind this is an undercount of Palestinian death.
I’ve heard counts well over 100,000.
Keep in mind that 67,000 of those deaths are women and children.
If that is their contribution to the world, Israel deserves no allies. Disarm them. Alienate them. Embargo them. Let them know what it’s like to go at it alone.
Good idea, thank you for the tips on how to disable it. Nothing more annoying than someone offhandedly mentioning something I should do and providing no details or elaboration.
Okay, maybe that was harsh, but really, not even an app name or… literally anything?
As long as the jackass doesn’t sell, they’re solid.
I had a roommate who invested, when his stuff went down more than 5% he’d sell it, “Don’t wanna be too risky,” he’d say, unaware that he was breaking the cardinal rule of investing…
Then, “Omg it’s up again, I better buy high before it goes higher!” then repeat pattern A again.
Moral of the story, if you actually believe in a stock, unrealized losses are not something to react to. Or do, and become a warning tale told to others, ha. Them -5% hits add up QUICK.
However if you put it on the outside of the bucket nothing changes at all and this comment is a pointless thief of your time and attention. Sorry.
Someone wasn’t prepared.
