  • I only have one data point because I’ve only ever personally met one millionaire, and he definitely wasn’t the type for introspection.

    I think he had three wives as well, none of them he was currently married to. He cheated on a second wife with his secretary who became his third fir a bit. It must be something to do with the money, at a certain point you just think you can do whatever you want and alienate everyone around you. He was certainly a prick.







  • It all looks way too consistent for AI. AI images tend to be slightly blurry and don’t have a lot of consistency especially with text

    There’s a lot of stuff in there that I don’t think an AI would include like the random sticker on the pole, the reflections on the plastic that covers the ad, the bus stop paint on the road is rather worn but not massively worn I feel like an AI would go in one direction or the other.


  • As a Jew, It’s been a pretty incredible thing to watch happen realtime.

    No one’s excluding you from the conversation. How can they the only way they would know if you were Jewish is if you told them, which you most definitely did. I can’t help it if you will have some kind of oppression fetish but no one’s thought about the Jewish population as a distinct group in about 40 years.







  • I remember when I was a kid and we were learning algebra and no one ever explained why on Earth we would ever need it. It would have been vastly more helpful if practical examples had been given rather than us being given a bunch of homework.

    A much better homework assignment would be “These are the scenarios under which you would need algebra. See if you can find them in your everyday life.” But nope, just more arbitrary questions.




  • So what I find utterly fascinating about this article is you posted it as if it was some kind of gotcha and it’s just one person’s opinion. There’s absolutely no evidence provided and the whole article concludes by basically saying that there’s no evidence for one belief or the other. So the ultimate conclusion to the article is that it could essentially not exist and everything would be exactly the same.

    The thing is, what the author of this article never really bothered to address, possibly because it would undo his own argument, is why the belief that farmers voted in massive numbers ever came about. Apparently according to him it isn’t even true so where did it come from?

    Your position is not backed up by any evidence.


  • It was hardly a trade war. It was one MP that thought that maybe this would be a good idea and the US going “er, maybe”. The UK is such a non-market as far as the United States is concerned, especially once you calculate in all of the costs of shipping, that it was never really going to happen.

    The only real reason that it got brought up so much was that it was a good demonstration of the utterly delusional attitude of brexitiers. That somehow we’d be better off with lower food quality standards and that should be something we would celebrate. I do not think it got much further than the vague idea stage because it really wasn’t viable for the United States so they never agreed to it. No matter what some nutcase MP may have thought.


  • Read the article you posted. It mentions Nissan workers along with farmers as groups that voted for Brexit and are now suffering the hubris of their own actions.

    Also the article doesn’t even demonstrate that farmers didn’t vote for Brexit the one thing it claims to actually do, it does not do.

    In the future when you’re posting stuff to try and one up people it might be a good idea to actually read the content of the article first.
