That's fair and I agree with that 100%.

I wouldn't say he necessarily failed upward considering that he'd be worth more today if he'd just invested his initial gift from his father into the S&P500, but I guess because of the presidency you could argue it.

Everyone has to start somewhere. We should reward honest effort instead of punishing honest effort but ignorance.

These articles are always a bit misleading, while still demonstrating a decent point.

The minimum age to be a representative is 25 years old. Minimum age for the senate is 30 years. 25 years prior to the most recent congress was seated (Jan 2023) was 1998. This means that out of all gen Z, only the first 1 year is even eligible. If the distribution of gen Z births is roughly equal that means out of that 20%, only 1/15th (1.4% of the total pop) are even eligible for the House and absolutely 0% are eligible for the senate.

I get what they're saying, especially with the discrepancy being this significant but they really need to do some age adjustment first.

That's about what YouTube creators would get for the same amount of hits, which still doesn't make it a lot but I think it's an interesting comparison.

Admin deleted their post and responded in this thread that it wasn't on purpose.

There are currently ~366 million Twitter users.

If Musk paid each person $100 to start using "X" instead, he'd spend $36.6 billion, leaving him with $7.4 billion to actually build the rest of the website and infrastructure.

Yup, he's stupid.

If you're talking about the Clathrate Gun hypothesis, that's no longer considered relevant for the near-future climate crisis.

It is. It says so on its profile page.

It's honestly one of the more annoying ones too imo.

Exactly! It's a giant lie I tell you.

That is a very fun fact!

It's the same as when people in the states say "Wyoming (or sometimes North dakota) doesn't exist"

I mean, have YOU ever actually met someone from Wyoming?

This is me. I'm this person.

My favorite detail, though I will admit that type of detail (and I think I've seen it a couple times) is fun: when people express hatred for Daniel.

Fuck Daniel.

I've never heard someone say it irl yet.

Until then

Polls have evolved since then you know.

I'm not saying they are perfect, but they understand, generally, that landlines aren't key anymore. It's literally their job.

Why?

I really love the episode where they go "this is a weapon meant to intimidate" * blasts * "this is a weapon meant to kill" fire p90

My sentiment is the same, albeit wording.
