ButtBidet [he/him]

I know very very little about India, but it seems like the country is going the neoliberal route of Amerika, bringing some limited wealth, but a heap ton of poverty and stress/competition for those who do have a job. I admire India for their educational system, how hard working and responsibly their citizens are, and how much their country has grown since independence (a difficult feat).

I know that not every Indian is a BJP member, but that’s gotta be embarrassing frustrating as MAGA is in the US. I’ve seen some center-right Indian friends go hard right these last few years. This seems to be everywhere now, though, not just India.

Don’t at me, this is from a place of profound ignorance.

Edit: changed a word so I don’t come off like a racist prick

I checked the modlog. I don’t see anything nefarious or overbearing.

Everyone uses normal money. Less than 1% of people use bitcoin. (using non crypto promoting data). Per transaction and per capita, the energy used by banks is way less.

Also I don’t lose all my funds from someone getting my keys.

Thank you, fucking knobs, for the unnecessary environmental impact of all that bitcoin mining. Also, has no one had their fecking bitcoin keys stolen and their funds drained?

Fuck Bill Barr. His commentary on Bill Maher was centrist at best. I’ll never forgive him for the other fucked up shit he said, or at least until he actually apologises (spoiler: he won’t).

The Australian Strategic Policy Institute thinktank estimates that 95 civilian universities in China have links to the defence sector.

Oh, the think tank with the guy who gets satellite images of schools and says that it’s definitely a Uighur concentration camp, the one funded by the military.

You realise that they are entering with valid visas, right?

I know that I was almost an adult when Harry Potter came out, but I really tried to get into them as everyone else loved them, but the writing was flat af.

I was a huge Tom Clancy fan as a teen. Thank fucking God I grew out of that shit, or otherwise I’d be a massive chud. The worst fucking part of his books is the way he writes women and relationships, every woman needs to be rescued, and they have no personality of their own.

I just double checked. This was NOT yet published in the NY Times or Washington Post.

Top global firms, such as Ernst & Young and KPMG, did not flag concerns about the bank in their audits, public documents show.

Yet again, capitalist regulation not doing what they promise

Good for you for at least caring about Gaza.

I haven’t been following this as closely

I think you mean that the Western media isn’t reporting atrocities on non-white people. This isn’t your fault, per se, just that that system is very broken.

Do you have the same opinion about Gaza and conscription in Isreal, by chance?

The video is about how nearly impossible it is to guess a key for SHA-256 encryption, it says nothing about Bitcoin.

I came here to say: Good take

It’s a bit unfair and unreasonable, but I try avoid mistakes that are very obvious to management. Like coming in late, not finishing reports that that checked, missing deadlines, etc. I’m not suggesting it, but half-assing something that won’t be noticed is safer.

It’s a bit shit, but I’d try to be extra good when starting a new position, ya. Being nice and agreeable in the beginning is helpful too.

I’m literally sorry that our system is like this.

NGL I saw the title and didn’t expect much from this. Good effort post, way to change my mind on this topic.

Professional wrestling was real

The 500k homeless people in the US humbly accept and understand.
