Hes saying that caring for oneself is the only thing that matters, that others should fend for themselves.
Thiel is a pure randian. Hes not advocating for building strength to help build up a community. Hes advocating for communities where only the strong can afford to buy into, while everyone else dies.
Just insane ramblings from a man that would be safely ignored if he didn’t have billions of dollars and decades of king making giving him unimaginable leverage into our nation and world.
A clone of his cousin, then.
We should toss superboy in there, get Superman’s/luthors clone involved.
Call it half of a half incest.
You could literally see the accident from our location.
Sounds like he could make it in then. /s
That or something like it is literally part of the EU demand. Google has to pay the fine and tell them their next step to ending their conflicts of interest in 60 days.

Typically, I write about data showing a change, trend or something else new happening in Seattle. In this case, though, the story is about something not happening.
Census data shows the number of vehicles in the city has been effectively unchanged for years, even as the number of households has grown.
Because the number of cars has basically plateaued while the number of households has grown, the rate of car ownership has declined. In 2023, which is the latest available census data, there were 127 vehicles for every 100 city households, which is down from about 140 vehicles for every 100 households in 2017.
While overall there were more cars than households in Seattle, the number of city residents living without a car has increased rapidly. In 2023, there were a record 74,100 carless households, representing 20% of all Seattle households. That’s up from 53,200, or 16% of households, in 2017.
The slowing rate of car ownership was not consistent through most of the previous decade. At first, the number of cars owned or leased by city residents grew rapidly as the city’s population increased. In 2010, there were an estimated 388,700 vehicles in Seattle, according to census data. By 2017, that number had jumped to 460,800, a 19% increase, or about 72,000 more vehicles.
And then it suddenly stopped. From 2017 to 2023, the number of cars in Seattle remained effectively unchanged at just over 460,000. In 2023, the estimate was around 463,300.
Of course, it’s not that the city stopped growing, although there was a small population dip at the start of the pandemic, from 2020 to 2021. But overall, from 2017 to 2023, the number of households in the city increased by 35,000, or 11%. There were 364,600 households in Seattle in 2023.
Seattle’s car ‘population’ stalled in 2017
After years of steady growth, the number of vehicles owned or leased by Seattle city residents has barely changed since 2017.
Still, Seattle has a lot of cars. For comparison, in New York City, which is far less car-dependent than Seattle, there were around 60.5 vehicles for every 100 city households in 2023 — that’s less than half Seattle’s ratio.
Homeowners were much more likely to own or lease a vehicle than renters in Seattle. Census data shows among homeowners, there were about 177 vehicles for every 100 households in 2023. Among renters, there were only around 87 vehicles for every 100 households.
Around 9 out of 10 carless homes were rental units in 2023.
Living without a car is certainly doable in Seattle, especially in the highly walkable and transit-rich downtown neighborhoods. But I suspect the ever-increasing cost of living here is the primary catalyst behind the growing number of city residents living without a car.
After all, transportation costs are the second-largest household expense after housing in the U.S., and that’s primarily because of car ownership. Beyond the cost of the vehicle itself, there’s fuel, maintenance and repairs, insurance, parking, registration fees and so on. It makes sense that a growing number of city residents would want to avoid all these expenses.
Openai has an “at cost” azure deal with Microsoft. They don’t make any azure money from them.
This feels like a mix of “keep the bubble moving somehow” hype and a shot across the bow at Microsoft, who are in a nasty back and forth with Openai right now because openai wants to break its early deals with Microsoft to go fully for profit to get a large amount of funds from Softbank. Microsoft isn’t okay with that, as it would cost them exclusivity to Openais tech and various other things.
The meme is referring to this murder of an 11 year old who just rang a doorbell and ran. The murderer was lying in wait in his yard with a gun, and shot the kid as he ran out of the yard with his cousin.
The cousin screamed for help and tried to save him, but he died shortly thereafter. A neighbor called the police. The murderer calmly walked back into his house, offering no aid, not in any fear for his life.
I get your point, but ACAB means that you don’t just take cops word for things, because they are bastards. They lie and cheat and kill with impunity. If the cop has dashcam or badge cam video of the loud “muffler,” then ticket away.
Sure doesn’t seem the cop has proof, especially when they go fishing for more offenses after the stop. The latter is common cop behavior when they can’t pin their initial issue on you. They try to retroactively justify their bullshit, to get you for something to prove you’re the “bad guy.”
Since the cop cant prove the noise violation, he finds several other “provable” violations like window tint or an air freshener or whatever. This adds weight to his initial, unprovable allegation, but that doesn’t actually make it true. Cops fervently hunting for penny ante “gotchas” after the fact makes the whole thing suspect.
It was the most wishlisted game on steam ever, priced at a very reasonable $20, and it released today after a 6 year wait with almost no press before the last couple of weeks. All the press it did receive was about how the devs were just having a good time, which was insanely endearing.
It’s basically the ultimate indie darling at this point. I 100% believe it could crash all the platforms above.
“Acab, but I immediately believe what the cop said with no evidence, even as he tickets someone for a loud muffler that the car literally doesnt have and openly fishes for other violations to try to justify the stop.”
Also salted lettuce, tomato, pepperoncini, red onion and cucumber. The meat is stacked tall to give it volume and let you get a better mix of ingredients in each bite instead of laying flat. The mayo is flavored with herbs and spices and likely a bit of sugar. The French bread is fresh, as the store gets its bread delivery daily. It may just be hours out of the oven when it hits the cutting board.
Lots of factors working towards a better sandwich here, with most of them being within your grasp if you can summon the most complicated ingredient in all of cooking : effort. That’s the real secret, and its an absolute fucker.
If you’re sure you’re going to make $1,000,000,000,000,000 as long as you hold onto 10000 pieces of paper, selling them for way, way less than that is very stupid. Even if it’s generational wealth, it’s still very stupid.
Most of the openai share owners are already millionares, either via the high salaries or whatever. To have people like altman, a billionaire, sell “trillionare” shares for mere millions of even hundreds of millions strongly implies a need to cash put at the top of the bubble, put those hundreds of millions in your hyped up pocket, and let the rubes hold the bag.
The other part of this is the marketing. It may very well be the biggest IPO ever, which will be splashy and loud and keep the bubble going longer, which is exactly something you want if you have no substance to show instead.
Looks like every game is in the 70% ratings for this one. Meh to the max for me.
Personally, this one is my “jump off the bandwagon” month. Time to cancel that increasingly expensive subscription.
Exactly. His body isn’t human, it just looks like it. He gets all his energy from photosynthesis. In at least one “bullshit” iteration, he can sap solar power from plants directly.
This is not a human with a humans constraints.
You can get “cricket flour,” but its still largely a novelty.
The chud starter pack.
Disposable mango flavored vape and not wearing headphones on the train are also part of the package.
Canned tuna once or twice a week. Mix in mayo/olive oil/apple or pickle/salt and pepper, and if you have it, a dash of fish or oyster sauce. Toss in some green onion if you like. I like to add crispy jalapeno or crispy onions. You can swap in canned salmon if you want instead of tuna, although i would opt out of the apple at that point.
Peanut or mixed nut butter can be really good too. Use sourdough or a good sead bread. Try it with some added flax/chia seed, or hemp heart for more protein/fiber. Use different jams like mango or gooseberry for variety.
Liquid lunch is also something, although boring. Lots of 30g of protein/150 calorie options now a days, mostly whey or collagen based. Down a couple of those in a pinch.
I literally said hes still a piece of shit, so that should answer your first question. As to “how is this not relevant?”
The article is talking about what might happen if Roe is overturned by the supreme court, and what that might mean down the line. That happened already. We are out of “might” and are several years down the line.
Lets talk about what’s currently happening, now. Discussing a speculative article about changes that “may occur in the future” is pretty odd when we are 3 years in the future and can literally tell the article what happened.
Its complicated in its portrayal, for sure. It comes off at a glance like “just signam grindset bro,” but really the protagonist had to lie, cheat and steal his way to his dream, while also being an absolute fatalist while pushing his body near to death. Even then, he still needed to convince a doctor to fake his results at the end. That’s not a pro “grindset” or “you can overcome” message really. It shows how absolutely fucked you are if you aren’t born into advantage, how weighted everything is against you.
The movie would have hit harder if he got to the end and got caught and denied his dream. Just end with him in prison, staring out a window up at the stars.
