I'm reasonably confident when people study US History 100 years from now there will be a focus on the extreme influence we allowed industrialists to have in our politics.

@6R0M7 Joe Rogan proclaiming MAGA to be “punk rock” in the Trump interview was as nauseating as it gets. That I cannot abide.
English
@SeanLyng Same experience this morning. I recall the long urban voting poll experience as well.

@SeanLyng Yes, “voting with money” falls over as a metaphor when the amounts people bet have different significance to the participants. That makes sense to me.

@alextaylor Imagine playing poker against Bill Gates, you sit down with $100 and he sits down with $1mm. He can put you all-in every hand and even if you win 10x in a row he can still control the game.

Billionaires throwing in the towel to prop up this stupid market. Reality setting in.

@SeanLyng Pretty sure there are several michelin star caliper chefs that would disagree with you on the chicken score, not that your opinion isn't valid as your own.

I noticed this too and I was like... OO nice catch sister!

Kamala literally had to stop herself from calling Trump “this piece of shit” just now.
English
@SeanLyng I believe in this in the general case for sure but I'm not sure it could extend to Trump if I'm being 100% honest. Jan 6 and using the phrase "china virus" over and over again to promote racism toward asian people are front of mind.

@SeanLyng ETH and SOL both seem risky to me - ETH because it seems like its scaling strategy is overly complicated for users , SOL because it crashes and needs to be "restarted". Neither of these networks seems ready today to be Visa style rails for banks.
English
@SeanLyng BTC is a really simple asset to understand and it's already fulfilled it's promise if you believe its positioning as just a digital value store.
ETH/SOL/X - you have to first accept that any digital asset can have value, like BTC, AND you have to believe in unproven tech.

@SeanLyng Yeah, i'll occasionally use that feature when I'm running late with my wife and that's about it.

@alextaylor 100% man. Someone asked me the other day "who do you share your location with?" and i'm like no one if i can help it.

Surveillance Capitalism is creepy af.

This year all 32 NFL teams will start using facial recognition to verify the identity of people entering the stadium. This is a clip that was posted recently on the Dallas Cowboys website. It shows how easy it is to identify someone in these large crowds.

@SeanLyng Apparently a JD Vance talking point is that Imane Khelif is 'not a biological woman', which no one else has ever alleged to my knowledge. If the only thing governing male vs. female is T levels then conversely many men are not men according to JD Vance.
English
@SeanLyng Below a certain age it seems like privacy concerns just aren't a thing is my experience. It's strange to me that people can't extrapolate from the NFL stadium to a Chinese-style police state with social credits.
English
@SeanLyng It’s also super messed up to steal someone’s Olympic moment from them over this nonsense.
English
@alextaylor agree. She has always been a woman. Algeria considers her a woman. I’m not sure why the rest of the world has an issue with how she’s living her life.
but, what would we be without arguments over nonsense?
English
@SeanLyng Regardless of which it is, this issue was dealt with extremely poorly by the governing body - she no question has lived a life since birth as a woman. If there is any legitimate issue it should have been dealt with privately, definitively, and ideally prior to the Olympics.
English
@SeanLyng I haven't really followed the story. It seems like the Algerian boxer just has an elevated T level, but it wasn't clear in a bit of reading if it was in a biological passport sense (relative to her own baseline), or if it was just relative to some XX average range.
