Uh not really… he started PayPal and then sold himself like 1 million shares at $0.001 (a tenth of a penny!) a share. Did you even read the article? Literally anyone who starts a business has to inject capital. It’s not gambling any more than any other person simply starting a business.

Also if you do read the article. You will learn it is not just Peter thiel, but many many many wealthy individuals who have done similar things. You say “the ultra wealthy would love to have Roth IRAs!” Well guess what: they do and it’s often a substantial portion of their fortune.

So what is your point now?

Don’t forget that when someone is talking about the average American “owning stocks” what they really mean is “has a retirement account that works in a way they don’t fully understand, which includes securities such as stocks, that they are not legally allowed to touch until they are 60”.

Anyone who tries to insinuate that the way average Americans “own stocks” is in any manner comparable to the way the wealthiest do, should honestly literally be put in the stocks where commoners can hurl tomatoes at them.

I will call it “the BBS known as Absin” instead or “Absin the BBS” for short.

You should login to the system and express your concerns! I do agree lack of communication from within the platform is frustrating. But the sdf does have a help desk and chat rooms where you can reach the people who maintain the system.

I do five day holiday for end of the year to account for the extra days like the Mayans did but I really like your idea of spreading four of them out to the solstices and equinoxes!

I mean I never told you not to rename them lmfao. You just said “I can’t stand the titles on torrents” like people just made these really long filenames for shits and giggles. Also lots of torrent sites will feature several different kinds of rips. It’s not very convenient on the back end to have all rips of the same movie have the same file name.

Also “calm down”? Idk I thought I gave a pretty chill explanation of why things are the way they are but sorry if it didn’t come across that way.

I like 10 months each with 6 weeks of 6 days each for a total of 360 days and a 5 day holiday at the end of every year (6 days during a leap year)

But Jesse really has opened my eyes to the possibility of a lunisolar calendar.

“Titles”? It’s not a title, it’s a file name that contains a lot of details about the rip. In the post’s example it tells you that it’s the movie Split, ripped from blu ray, in 1080p, with audio tracks in Italian and English, and encoded in x265. You probably would hate a lot more not being able to tell the difference between split.mp4 recorded on my cellphone in the movie theater and split.mp4 in ultra hd 4k ripped straight from Netflix.

I only enable telemetry for software provided by nonprofit organizations that are legally obligated to publish detailed financial records. Never give anyone that reserves the right to sell you out any of the benefit of your data for free.

The entire instance went down for me for a while. Also sdf.org itself has been failing to resolve all day. Has anyone tried logging into the system and popping on com or irc and asking around? Someone there might have a better clue what’s going on because I think there’s more issues than just lemmy right now. Dont forget the server that runs this lemmy instance is literally a public access server and you have the ability to raise issues directly with staff there.

Why didn’t you want to tell the recruiter exactly how you feel about SpaceX? Maybe recruiters should be made to feel like mentioning SpaceX will harm their own reputation.
