Solid journalist math. According to this logic, if I keep pressing the gas pedal on a 1.0 VW Golf, it will reach the speed of light by 2028. Amazing performance for such a small machine

“Shareholders need to get comfortable not owning their yacht”

Fair point, I think we know it, just our politicians keep ignoring it. The elites backing moderate governments would rather see fascists on the throne, than to have a democratic, true leftist government.

Socialism endangers capitalism, fascism doesn’t.

The solution is definitely not ridicule and mocking, but it’s also not appeasing fascists. Anybody who wants to destroy democracy, has no place in a democracy. In the short term, we should ensure fascist don’t get to power by whatever means necessary, and in mid-/long term, we should enact social changes that decrease the support of these radicals.

Tbh I’m not sure this is possible peacefully (or at all), and maybe another world war will happen - though not because of Germany, more likely China/Rusia, maybe US if things go bad.

Who should I vote for after unhinged leoliberal capitalism made my life worse?

• Socialists: Vote for me, so I can tax the rich and spend money on programs to help workers like you
• Fascist: Vote for me, I promise to deport some brown people (but in reality I will just cut the taxes of rich people and be friendly with Russia)

When signing my BMW lease, I was told the signs show the suggested minimum speed

Yes, they are “boiling the frog”. The strategic goal of the US is not Ukraine winning, it’s Russia losing. By grinding up Russian resources month after month, the US can maximize the long-term damage to Russia by destroying their resources (e.g. money, military equipment, soldiers/workforce).

Very true. The old internet perfectly showed how people are happy to create and share content as enthusiasts, eg. wikipedia, reddit/forums, and lot of X rated amateur stuff.

Since then, capitalism has decided to leech on and ruin most of these. Now we have more content, but worse quality - because for the end user a genuine reddit review of a product was more useful than a targeted ad, and most ppl prefered to look at the videos of some random couple sharing it as a kink, rather than some endlessly polished fake amateur video.

Funnily enough, this would be a good business idea. Creating a webshop for sovcits, filled with AI bullshit copywriting, selling useless products like this

It’s laughable when some people talk about inflation as it’s a physical law like gravity. No, it’s a decision of the capital owners to protect and grow their profits at the expense of the workers.

Holy shit, what an article. Incredible journalism

“What the hell is this? Some kind of Planet of the Apes^TM?”

FYI if you ever get leg cramp, completely straighten your leg, and flex your feet upwards, towards your shin. This will stretch your leg muscles and stop the pain almost immediately.

Used to happen to me quite a few times, esp. when being a kid doing lot of sports. Once I was afraid I would drown when getting leg cramp in the pool, but this method saved me.

The reddit business model

Wild story, but many things I don’t get:

• How could a bank CEO be so stupid to fall a financial scam like this? He must know how these work, banks are constantly fighting against scams and warning customers
• How the fuck the bank would allow the CEO to go rouge and request/make these transactions? They have board, supervisory board, risk mgmt, yet nobody stopped or noticed the fraud until his neighbor(!) told them. This institution shouldn’t be allowed to handle people’s money
• Wtf is the attorney’s sad speech about being unsure ppl getting back their savings? They were insured, they get the money back. Pay the fuck up and reimburse your clients for the bank’s mistake

They don’t give an email option, as then it would instantly become a ticket and they have to work on it. They prefer you gettig frustrated with the bot or the phone menu, and givng up
