  • No, not really. The thing is, Johnson is exactly like MTG only not completely fucking stupid. He knows you cut deals now so that you can still be around when MAGA-world needs a sure bet to attempt to overturn the 2024 election results (only if Trump loses, of course).

  • So I understand the ultra-rich's way of doing business now is to never realize gains but rather take loans against a percentage of their unrealized gains (backed of course, by the unrealized gains themselves) and spend that money rather than ever make any income. Does anybody know of any good ideas to handle that type of scenario?

  • Smith was speaking shortly before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visits China on Wednesday. He's expected to warn Chinese officials not to provide aid to Russia.

    Or else they're going to get a very stern talking to.

  • "Botched" implies that this was done by mistake. This wasn't done by mistake.

  • Can they not anonymize these jurors due to Trump's threatening behavior? Sequester them? For fuck's sake, he's putting their families at risk. Why's he got to be in the courtroom for the selection process? Why do reporters have to be there? This is bullshit.

  • I am confused. I realize this is just a flag change not even a dev problem but PEBKAC, still - in the event of an actual bug, why wouldn't Microsoft have a dev contribute to the project and fix it instead of just opening a ticket?

  • OK, you're right and I really hate that paradigm. But didn't I hear something like these boats being led out of the bay are under the control of local crew (not company crew) until they get to open water? Also something about doing this without a tug escort? I wonder if there is more to this story other than yet another bad corporate actor.

  • Memes won't change what will happen. He will get a stay from an appeals court, they will reduce the bond to a fraction of what it was and he will pay it and suffer almost no consequences

    Edit: oh hey, I can predict the future would you look at that

  • I do OfferUp and Craigslist all the time. I have yet to meet anyone other than pleasant, helpful people. Knock on wood I guess.

  • Yeah, this is my 65-year-old aunt. Never got covid she says - and yet she's been sick more than once since 2019. She just never tests - so she never gets covid! Easy!

  • This is the increasingly stupid part. The fuck are they gonna do when Christ gets back? He's a straight up communist, they have no use for him. Hmm... I wonder.

  • It's not even about him, they bury this in a story about class struggle so they can repeat the narrative that the NHS is "in crisis," as if it just magically happens and not because politicians are purposefully crippling it.

  • This is all good and well, until a 2008 happens. That's why strategies like this are only reliable if you have generational wealth to start with. You have to be able to withstand massive risk.

  • "This is good for Bitcoin."
