gbnvc··on Many people don't pay full price, most don't want to pay at all for news
Well products like the ones you describe do exist. But apparently you don’t know them because you listed Bloomberg as high value when it’s a pay to play publication.

gbnvc··on What is Ayahuasca also called "vine of the dead"?
Ayahuasca is really cool, but many people trying to escape addiction use it only to find it doesn’t solve their problems and as a result they experience suicidal ideation. Be careful, the anti addiction effects of the drug definitely aren’t permanent in any case.

gbnvc··on PyCon US 2024 Recap
The two talks about the Gil removal were great. Also pyscript is great though they had 3 talks for some reason and only one really explained it.

Or you could do all those things by doing something that people pay you to stop. I think is kind of language is dangerous any American adult knows this isn’t really true because most people have choices because they have money and money gets you more money. This is free speech.
gbnvc··on You Can Thank Private Equity for That Enormous Doctor's Bill
What country is this? There’s no plan in America that’s anywhere near that good, where the catch?
gbnvc··on You Can Thank Private Equity for That Enormous Doctor's Bill
But private equity objectively does jack up the prices on those things. It just doesn’t own those businesses. The whole point is that it’s unsustainable to run a business that way. Look at these absurd restaurants prices, it’s private equity jacking up the prices on food and labeling it as “inflation”.

But the original post says otherwise, who do I believe?
