Unpopular opinion: It's rude that women don't lift the toilet seat up once they're done

Lol, guess I'll never be able to go to a the Chelsea Flower Show since I use a VPN and can't buy tickets. It's not just the internet that's dead.

Seems more and more likely that AI is going to have a large short term disruptive impact on employment. This will lead to panic - I'm already seeing it from normie white collar job friends who think they'll be unemployed in a year and are making big decisions factoring this in. I honestly don't know what the fuck will happen and I'll probably panic too. But you know who will really panic? Governemnts. And they will both feed off and feed into the panic. The most obvious thing people will demand is guaranteed income and more welfare to protect them - I think even normies will realise AI is too powerful to simply regulate. This will lead to money printing. And this will happen before AI has a chance to grow the economy enough (i.e. pay the national debt from more taxes paid by Google and OpenAI). I don't know if Bitcoin goes higher in this scenario, but it increasingly looks like the one thing that can't be fucked with.

Doesn't seem to be possible to extend my @primal premium subscription. Can't do it in the app even though I installed from @Zapstore and not the Play store. And then the web app remote log in thingy doesn't work at all 🤷‍♂️

It's weird that Trump is pushing for Greenland in such an obviously hostile way - the global reaction seems really predictable. If the US really wanted it wouldn't there have been a more strategic approach? E.g. build some diplomatic support, endear themselves to Greenlanders etc. I think Trump gets too much credit for being a 4D chess player (although not enough credit from some), but this situation does make me think the spectacle is either leverage or a distraction. Or has Trump actually genuinely lost his mind and accidentally turning all America's allies against it?

Lol, maybe I'm too brainwashed by the system but the WBD episode with Simon Dixon is comically conspiratorial. Sure, probably lots of shady stuff going on that most people don't know, but the way all these well known historical events, people, and recent headlines tie in together via some omnipotent "they" is a bit much.

Pretty ugly situation with Renee Good in Minnesota. Personally, I wouldn't try drive my huge SUV towards an armed federal agent during a raid. Doesn't make you a "domestic terrorist" though. Whole thing just seems like a huge fuck up. Tragic.

No one talking about Epstein files anymore. Impressive.

Chatting to a colleague from Bedford and asked which football team he supports - it's not the one bought "by some weird crypto guy" 😂

Hey @MUSQET - how do I find a list of your merchants? Would go out of my way to pay in Bitcoin, just want to know I definitely can when I arrive

People who take pleasure in others paying more taxes, or getting punished with taxes, are sickening bootlickers

1. Be a tradesman 2. Go out of your way to do a site visit and give a quote 3. Don't reply when the client agrees to it - just ghost them 4. ? 5. Profit

Ready to have my face melted still, but this does actually feel like the start of a bear market. Same pattern as usual - price declining despite no specifically negative news, and lots of podcasts trying to convince themselves it's not a bear market. Doesn't change the fundamentals, but just mentally preparing.

I've got a much better idea than buying Bitcoin, hear me out ... You get an institution to KYC you, then give them money for a claim to potentially redeem the value of a shiny metal that may or may not exist. Then we cheer central banks to buy more of the metal. It's logically and morally sound.

Here we go... Mandibles! "China’s state-run iron ore buyer has told major steelmakers and traders to temporarily halt purchases of all new BHP Group cargoes, escalating a pricing dispute that risks upending one of the mining giant’s most important trading partnerships China Mineral Resources Group Co., created by Beijing to bolster the country’s sway in the global iron ore trade, asked domestic buyers this week to suspend purchases of any dollar-denominated seaborne cargoes from BHP, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified discussing private deliberations. It means new deals can’t be signed, including for cargoes that have already left Australia, where BHP has its mines. The only BHP iron ore available for trade are some supplies that have landed in China and are priced in yuan." https://archive.is/ffSxn

Waiting for the "far right" description to be applied to people opposed to digital IDs, which are literally the most right wing thing ever.
