To me, all this stonks nonsense is just investors with a new scam trying to supplant the investors running the old scam.

Anyway it's a good thing in that it exposes the grade-school explanation that the "stock market is a meritocracy where the best businesses/ products rise to the top" as total bullshit.

An alien looking at the stock market would assume that Tesla makes the best cars; MacDonald's the best food; and Microsoft the best software.

I fed this article through google translate and it was just a picture of Netanyahu pointing and saying "hey look, over there"!

A better question is can a dating app be good?

Around 2010, every tech bro that's creaming shorts over AI today was trying to figure out how to make money behind the fact that everyone had smartphones. But it turned out, that smartphones can't solve every problem.

Dating I would argue, is just one of those things tech made worse. Never mind how often the damn thing fails, think about the conditions where it would function well. A dystopian world where everything is shallow and operating on incel-math.

And how could it be otherwise? Dating apps are just math people trying to solve for love. This is the plot to a comedy movie, not a business plan.

Putin's plan is to wait out NATO's will to resist. And he's winning.

Thanos' reasoning is idiotic.

People are a resource. If you eliminated half the people, not only have you wasted all resources that went into those people, but you've wasted everything those people could produce. Minus half of agricultural workers would probably mean way less than half production. The post-snap world would be a place of austerity and starvation. You could recover sure, but it'd be time for another snap.

These lawmakers just want to use government force to keep everyone woke.

Do people still pirate Windows? You can download the iso directly from Microsoft's website and you don't need a registration key anymore.

Sure, but in the 90s intercepting a ballistic missile was a new capability. The tech must be more mature now. Besides, the way Russian procurement works, prototypes are usually light years ahead of what eventually gets produced and issued.

have such strong nuclear opinions but don’t seem to actually know anything about it…

I would point out that doubt is the appropriate response when one doesn't have all the facts. You're not asking people to trust science, you're asking people to trust in the institutions that were certain people around Chernobyl and Fukushima were totally safe and trust us bro.

I think you could make a great argument that faith in governments, regulators, and industry to protect public health is the irrational position.

I'm pro nuke, but you shouldn't dismiss those who fear nuclear tech as irrational and stupid.

If you want to save a *.webp file, just change the extension to *.png. There is no need for a converter.

A presidential candidate admitted on live TV that certain races are intended to be the underclass.

Never mind that Trump is a criminal who took a black man's job.
