huh, i can't see it

wow! I'm glad they aren't using child actors, would not have guessed she was that old

awesome. google ruined the internet, would be great for them to face an existential threat

this is why i took all banking apps off my phone. the websites work fine anyway.

do you need some help setting up ad blockers?

yeah to buy apps on their app store you make an account. maybe you could side load without it but haven't tried

so no scrolling but you don’t have to scroll everything. playing games or watching youtube is fine i guess

why would electricity be cold tho? my battery gets hot af when i take energy out or put it in. it's like pure energy, seems spicy

still way too much hype over ripoffs and projects that go nowhere. same with ai, its just the buzzword du jour that slick talkers sprinkle in to sound smart

i don’t think that is what they meant. is that a strawman you’re slaying?

it's funny how many armchair money managers we have here who want to give up huge passive income in order to... have more money to invest and eventually get passive income.

how much would an annuity that pays $150k/yr cost for somebody in their 20s or 30s? I can't imagine it being less than $10 million. probably more like $50 million. so the logic is give up $10-$50 million in value, for the opportunity to maybe make it up in the long run, while hoping you never get injured or debilitated...

yeah uh, let me just double check these figures... yes, that's absolutely correct! 300k is more than 150k, and therefore the person who needs remedial mathematics is not GP.

so it's about 20% more for walking based on those numbers.

i would definitely take the breathing! there's been too many times i couldn't walk, that's only going to increase as i age.

imagine getting in a bad car crash the day after starting the walking deal, both legs are broken. now, you are broke two ways! it's like adding insult to injury. that would be the worst feeling in the world.

when it comes down to "enough money to never need to work" vs "enough money to never need to work +20%, with extra risk if you get injured" i'll take the safe bet every time

yeah they've done great with inflation so far! lol

the shadowy cabal of a few rich people is called the Fed, it's privately owned by all the banks. there is no democracy in the existing system

Y'all prefer to have the government and banks in charge of money instead? seriously?

that's... not how that works. all you can do with 51% is possibly double-spend whatever coins you already have. or undo some transactions.

so you submit a transaction, then use your extra 1% of hash power to mine a new block that says you didn't actually spend it. at the same time you need to trick somebody else into believing you actually did send the coins, and take their stuff you "paid for." then after you have the stuff, you can submit the block that doesn't have your transaction in it. Voila, free stuff and you didn't spend your coins.

it does not enable you to mess with other's balances. other than possibly reversing some transactions. you would need the private keys to their wallets to take their money. and if you have those, you don’t need 51% of the hash power, you can just take the coins with 0% hash power.

is there a non-shitty alternative to use that anyone could recommend? would be really interested.

just an index fund is all you need.

i use Kagi. its paid but it is so refreshing not getting ads and being able to tune the search results.
