throwayyy479087··on Rotten meat may have been a staple of Stone Age diets
I wish we'd vomit more. It's a fantastic reflex and, compared to lower GI food poisoning, very preferable.
throwayyy479087··on Teen-age fentanyl deaths in a Texas county
85% of excess deaths in NYC are now drugs. That includes deaths from homocide, suicide, cars, everything - 85% of those are drugs.

It's the most serious issue facing the country, and we have 0 idea what to do. It's 30 9/11s a year worth of death and misery. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs_press_releases/2021/...

throwayyy479087··on Guardian owner apologises for founders’ links to transatlantic slavery
Black Africans, unless he's implying that it was run by the Jews. It was not, but White Nationalists don't care about that part.
throwayyy479087··on GitHub India's entire Engineering team is fired
Absolutely, that's what I'm trying to say - that they have accents, and we have accents, and they're different. I sure as shit don't speak the Queen's English, which is etymologically closer to what they speak
throwayyy479087··on GitHub India's entire Engineering team is fired
The hardest time I’ve had communicating at work has been with native English speakers from India. They have such a strong accent and such different idioms. Same to some extent with Singlish.

The problem is they really are speaking perfectly legal English, with grammar better than mine, but it’s a different dialect. Not true of ESL Indians.

Where a token is roughly equal a word?

I can’t tell if this is satire, but i literally have autism
throwayyy479087··on The BRICS Has Overtaken the G7 in Global GDP
You are correct - PPP is how many Big Macs you can buy (the Big Mac Index) in a country, Nominal GDP is how many nuclear submarines you can buy
throwayyy479087··on PayPal has restricted our account after we invoiced a key containing “ALEP”
There was a hookah bar named ISIS in Astoria, Queens. It was named after the owners first love - sweet story: https://qns.com/2016/08/isis-hookah-lounge-in-astoria-change...
throwayyy479087··on PayPal has restricted our account after we invoiced a key containing “ALEP”
I think he means Venmo, which is a PayPal product. Zelle is a consortium of banks.
throwayyy479087··on Banking on the Seaweed Rush
No mention of the heavy metals (in particular, lead and cadmium) that are present in high levels in seaweed: https://www.consumerlab.com/news/metals-in-seaweed-snacks/12...

I used to love those snacks

throwayyy479087··on A new world order? BRICS nations offer alternative to West
BRICS are only a thing in the mind of the Ivory Tower set.

Brazil is barely a country, has a declining QOL and is remarkably unstable. Lovely people, culture, beaches - but they're not even the best off LatAm country (that's Colombia, Chile, or Argentina)

Russia is a joke and an international pariah

South Africa is about to split in half (or not? who knows!) and is declining into a race-centered downward spiral. Again, horrible to see bad things happen to a lovely group of people, but ESKOM is emblematic of the countries problems.

India and China despise each other and are becoming more, not less hostile. India will soon be larger than China (may be today) and is betting the Chinese Miracle is ending. China has pretty openly racist views about India and doesn't treat them like equals in any way shape or form.

Singapore Taiwan Japan South Korea
throwayyy479087··on An Anxious Asia Arms for a War It Hopes to Prevent
Fucking agreed. I’m not dying in a war to drum up support for Biden’s election campaign. Biden hates people like me
throwayyy479087··on An Anxious Asia Arms for a War It Hopes to Prevent
Isolationism is the main foreign ideology of the GOP today. It’s not some niche movement.

We have two oceans and Canada. I have seen what Europeans say about dumb Americans like me, and I’m not dying for them. Same with Sorks.

Good luck guys.

throwayyy479087··on Utah is first US state to limit teen social media access
Agreed. It’s not even a take it’s just a concerning statement. They should care.
throwayyy479087··on 1k people have been charged for the Capitol riot
5 people died in j6, at least 72 during the 2020 riots.

Which has more media coverage and more prosecutions?

throwayyy479087··on Utah is first US state to limit teen social media access
That would also be good. I know people who have shit their pants during RuneScape sessions. They can’t use it responsibly.
throwayyy479087··on Utah is first US state to limit teen social media access
Yes, and a 13 year old should absolutely not use any of those services.

Discord in particular has become known as “groomercord” for it’s open pedophilia.

throwayyy479087··on UK: Food inflation rises to 18.2% as it hits highest rate in over 45 years
I never see libertarians here.
throwayyy479087··on Block: Inflated user metrics and “frictionless” fraud facilitation
The real reason is here: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/block-inc/summary?id=D00007...

Why would you fuck with the DNC’s golden goose?

throwayyy479087··on Block: Inflated user metrics and “frictionless” fraud facilitation
Ja Morant is currently throwing his life away because of the enormous pressure to do this. He’s from a nice family and is definitely no gangster.
throwayyy479087··on Block: Inflated user metrics and “frictionless” fraud facilitation
Ding ding ding. It sounds like everyone knew the grift, but didn’t care because they got paid.

Meanwhile they’re profiting off some 13 year old getting raped in a Motel 6.

Not that great!

throwayyy479087··on Block: Inflated user metrics and “frictionless” fraud facilitation
They’re literally groups of teenagers with squeegees. What do you think they should be called? Nephilim?
throwayyy479087··on Block: Inflated user metrics and “frictionless” fraud facilitation
The vast majority of commenters here vote to dismantle the methods of accountability. This proposition won’t happen as long as the PMC class remain insulated from rapidly rising crime.
throwayyy479087··on Sex worker-led payment platform shuts down after being cut off by processor
Selling ass is illegal in the USA though (even though it shouldn't be)
throwayyy479087··on Sex worker-led payment platform shuts down after being cut off by processor
The funniest thing is that they're a _horrible_ employer. I've known a bunch of people who work there: They demand unpaid OT, pay shit, have rampant sexual harassment, and generally act like a 60's marketing company.

They are Goliath, and the random conservative twitter people they write hit pieces on are David.

throwayyy479087··on Sex worker-led payment platform shuts down after being cut off by processor
Ironically Vice is directly responsible for creation of the Proud Boys.
throwayyy479087··on Sex worker-led payment platform shuts down after being cut off by processor
It's the end result, and they certainly don't _oppose_ it

That's how Hatreon etc came to be

throwayyy479087··on Swiss Are on the Hook for $13,500 Each on Credit Suisse Bailout
"Giving the upper middle class money" is the outcome of both. It's exactly the same, you just support one and not the other.
