probably, he's well-connected. but withdrawing from a bank on insider info isn't illegal.

man just did another double on his roth IRA

never driven a tesla, but also steer by palming rather than hand over hand so can't people just do that?

and in 5 years, you'll be using the great new CBDC! so the ECB can automatically remove your money to comply with negative interest rates!

opportunity cost? question is why they have the staff for this kindve thing and not for azure or other productive stuff.

is it? people did fine 70 years ago. nobody ever walked me through "how to process emotions" cuz most people figure that out fine. like yeah there are prob autistic kids or sm who need help but everyone normal doesn't need that.

really? have our educational outcome metrics grown to reflect that? why are we lagging so much further behind other nations than we were at that time?

yes, i have issues with companies investing in anything over profits. that's generally how companies operate. while i recognize there are those who disagree i think charity belongs separately.

and anyway character development is the purview of parents not schools. public education should teach specific academic material and nothing more.

ole reliable "you came to a different conclusion than me so you must be uninformed". come on. this is not MS' core competency and it's a diversion of resources. i'm hearing about how azure has capacity problems but they're sinking dollars into this?

why not just let the autism research guys or whatever develop this stuff?

yeah it strikes me as a complete waste of time. nobody needed this 70 years ago, they learned reading writing and arithmetic fine and no weird "tools" required. why is msft wasting time on this? using senior designer time on whether some character should have thumbs and eyebrows? what???

Ask anyone outside of Britain what "The Met" is and you'll hear about the museum.

I don't think one very small country should be the primary blocker to their branding decisions.

i obviously don't agree with you on us "destroying" but they already do that. they literally block most of our stuff. so turnabout is fair play.

why are you advocating chicoms get special privileges to be let in without proving they're good relative to us having to do the same in china?

no. lemme flip the burden of proof: the CCP is a known hostile actor against our nation. i want proof that they're not doing something shady before we let them play with the minds of kids.

> I want an actual source, an actual study.

lol insta reels suck. it's almost exactly a month behind tiktok on trends etc. i'm not a big user of either and even i known this, facebook has to be aware and just not care. everyone kinda just laughs at reels so i can only assume it's targeted at old millennials?

i've literally used the chinese version briefly and have friends from there. it's facts. all good positive influences there, no dancing thots and dph challenges.

"price gouging is when futures contango" ok buddy. there's literally an energy provider here that will more or less give you spot. and guess what, a whole bunch of people got burned doing that. the issue is there's a glut right now, go look at the futures curve going into winter then get back to me.

i'm pretty sure they know this, but i'm pretty sure they're intentionally trying to "make it a thing"/fake support for it because there's a lot of hate towards musk. i don't like him much but i do like the fact that all these types of blue check journalists are pissed about it.

i'm favoriting this so i can come back to it, like that dropbox comment.

it's doable cuz most unis have nice scanning equipment u can use for free in the library. i have literally made over $1000 in a semester scanning a textbook nobody had PDFed and reselling it electronically. it wasn't even offered in digital format by the publisher.

idk but i don't. cause the expensive textbooks are not the $40 ones my upper level classes have. they're the $200 intro class ones where 1000s of students take the course from a single school and there's some shitty online access code bs paired with it.

also, it is def not "reasonable" to repeatedly re-release editions just to make old ones useless.

i usually enjoy reading the $40 upper level ones a lot more btw.

i think this has more to do with the market tanking. nobody wants to log on to a sea of red. robinhood didn't start doing anything new as of september to drive people off.

interactive brokers 100%. best rates you can get on margin, high quality tech. be aware they will sometimes move margin requirements and give you limited time to cover if something starts looking sketchy, sometimes a bit more aggressive than other retail brokerages. but not a problem if you manage right.

dumping internal communications seems like a plenty good reason to terminate even if some comics isn't. that screams security issue.

tor bookszlibb74ugqojhzhg2a63w5i2atv5bqarulgczawnbmsb6s6qead.onion

all the clearnet addresses are dead.

bookszlibb74ugqojhzhg2a63w5i2atv5bqarulgczawnbmsb6s6qead.onion still up on TOR. fuck them i aint paying for my textbooks. never had a book bill higher than $50 and not about to start now.

i think that's the key point - i don't disagree that there are "the few" where genuinely nothing works. but then there are always the few with some special case where the standard solution doesn't work, but that doesn't mean anyone can say "the workplace is rigged" against them. i think you're right that there's obv a range of how easy it is, but most people can get into something workable with good hygiene.

thanks for telling me what's actually happening to myself. you're wrong, it works fine. and it's worked for a bunch of friends as well.

why do you think "this is not how it works"? i may have only an anecdote and some reasoning to support my point of view, but you have squat to support yours.

sorry, nothing about our bodies tells me they're this inflexible. i wonder if the "nighttime chronotypes" controlled for things that actually would influence it, like light exposure. regardless, one of the things that worked best for me was rigging a bright light to dawn gradually at a early hour, and cutting off my bright light exposure at a early hour. even if i have a "night chronotype" it's still possible to "trick" it into thinking i'm sleeping at a different time.

tbh i'm a bit suspicious that there are 5am natural sleepers. being basically nocturnal doesn't sound natural or healthy. and given the proven effects of lack of sunlight on mental health that should be fixed regardless of work timing.

i personally hate the phrase "the science" with a passion, but can you link me what you're referencing? cause nothing suggests that they're this "inflexible".

ngl everyone i've talked to who has a "nighttime chronotype" is actually just doomscrolling until 3AM then complaining "oh i can't sleep early". they typically keep bright light on late and use blackout curtains in the morning. no wonder their bodies don't work in a natural, normal circadian rhythm when they do this kinda stuff.

i think this is a good thing and not "rigged". here's why:

1. you can train yourself to be a morning person. this is coming from someone who is not at all a morning person by nature. so it's not unfair, what it does do is weed out people who don't bother to do so. it selects for disciplined people with a strong work ethic.

2. it is easier to be a night person than a morning person. inertia says it is easier to stay up later than get up earlier. so again, it selects for people who are disciplined.

tbh the only time i hear about ai image generators now is with the craiyon memes and even those have tapered off. however i have seen a few articles using them to create title images and some presentations using them instead of stock images.

mastadon is nothing even remotely close to a "culture fit" for most normal people outside a few very select bubbles.
