@fleshsimulator You forgot a mustang that is unnecessarily molded. I know a few +100m with discrete Shelby gt 500s

Legit rich people cars: - Armored GMC Yukon XL - The second nicest sedan made by a company from your country - An Toyota - String of crashed lamborghinis and one crashed porsche - Cybertruck (people are gonna MALD about this but it's true) - "I dunno a black one" - Some gay retarded bullshit like a Suzuki Cappuccino - New Old Stock 1998 Ford Ranger with cloth seats and manual windows - Pristine (and I mean fucking PRISTINE) 1983 Mercedes 300TD - Recumbent Bicycle

The most manipulative but effective thing I’ve ever done in my life was when I read an article about how children moderate their behavior to protect their self-identity, so if a child believes he’s smart, for example, he’ll intentionally study and try to do well to protect his image of himself. Anyway, I would pull kids aside with behavioral issues at church and tell them, “David (obviously fake name), you’re such a kind person and such a good listener. I can see that in you. Thank you for always listening.” “Little Annie, thank you for taking such good care of the babies around you. You’re going to be such a good big sister. Can you be in charge of watching Sally?” They would ALWAYS behave afterward. ALWAYS. Worked like a charm. Morally questionable because it wasn’t initially true, but I kind of willed it into existence. Tbf, I did think that they had that in them or I wouldn’t have tried. Will publish longitudinal results of this method once my kid is old enough to report back.

Your accountant won't tell you this: A US LLC owned by a non-resident, managed from abroad, with no US employees or clients? The IRS calls that a "disregarded entity." Translation: $0 US tax.

Wait until people realize why wafers are circles and not squares. Betting against TSMC can’t be this easy man.

In 2021, ethereum:0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca reached $52 with a fraction of the partnerships it has today Today it powers infrastructure for some of the largest financial institutions on the planet Make it make sense

@BruceJohns23678 @rtflack7777 @Violette101010 Not true US Citizens are explicitly not a part of the class of "The People" mentioned in the declaration of independence / the constitution. This is the root of the problem

@rtflack7777 @Violette101010 What applies lawfully for one applies for all..

When rights of the people are involved, trial by jury moving by the common law isn’t optional, but is the “prescribed form.” BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

@rtflack7777 Now you need to learn how the term US Citizen explicitly excludes "the People" And no, im not joking.

@CryptoAlexqnder @virtualbacon I think the idea is once the coins are put in a CEX they are supposed to be held for the owner. Any average holder who doesn't know and wants to sell could get caught up Totally absurd

This case is completely useless. They are trying to win legal ownership of other people's Bitcoin that even if they win they cannot access. Even if the government gives them legal ownership, the block chain doesn't care. Your keys your bitcoin. No 3rd party can change that. So yes your right. Bitcoin is actually showing how secure it is while the traditional laws of how money flows continue to be flawed.

A Bitcoin wallet untouched since March 2011 just signed a transaction and moved its coins. It was being sued. Someone wants legal title to 39,069 dormant wallets, ~$285B, as abandoned property, served by writing the case onto the chain. The owner just proved they never left.

Andrew Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, delivering the single greatest blow to financial tyranny in American history. You won't hear this story told correctly in any economics textbook, because it reveals how central banking works: as a government-sponsored cartel that redistributes wealth from productive citizens to politically connected bankers. The Second Bank held a 20-year federal charter starting in 1816. It controlled the money supply, issued currency, and held government deposits. Sound familiar? Nicholas Biddle, the bank's president, wielded more economic power than any elected official. He could trigger financial panics at will by restricting credit. He bought newspapers and bribed congressmen. When Jackson opposed recharter in 1832, Biddle deliberately crashed the economy to punish him. Jackson called it "a hydra of corruption" and he was right. The bank created artificial booms through credit expansion, then triggered busts when politically convenient. Biddle openly bragged about manipulating markets. Free market economists and Jackson both recognized the core insight: this was legalized counterfeiting with government backing, not free market banking. The political establishment united against Jackson. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the entire Whig Party defended the bank. Biddle spent millions buying influence. The press attacked Jackson as an economic ignoramus. Every "respectable" voice supported recharter. Jackson stood alone with the American people. After Jackson killed the bank, the country experienced the strongest economic growth in its history. From 1837 to 1862, America operated without a central bank. Industry flourished. Wages rose. Innovation exploded. This wasn't coincidence. When you stop subsidizing financial speculation and let productive capital find its natural home, prosperity follows. Central banks don't stabilize economies: they destabilize them for private gain.

@jrj1130 @WildSentences If his mom lets her parther, the step dad treat her own son like that, then yeah. I know some young men who regret not cutting off toxic family sooner.

@paulb360 @WildSentences Easier said than done. So he loses his mother in the process at 18? Nah, not a good idea.

@hthieblot Stumble upon

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

@jrj1130 @slakkanjus @WildSentences Your reading comprehension needs improvement

@slakkanjus @paulb360 @WildSentences You don't understand being a woman, obviously. When you're in a step relationship the parent will always side with the spouse, step or otherwise. I know.

@jrj1130 @8MindBodySoul @WildSentences Personally I wouldn't want to live under the same roof as a dude who wanted to charge me for living in my dead dad's house.

@8MindBodySoul @WildSentences Agree, step dad is a class A jerk. But if kid insists on rent demand, mom and kid will have a good deal of conflict that he doesn't need to invite into this. Just let it go.

@jrj1130 @WildSentences Uhh because a man who didnt pay for the house is looking to profit off it, from son of the dead man who did pay for it. Step dad shouldn't even be allowed to love there anymore. Mom and dad out

@WildSentences You were a minor & therefore cannot legally maintain a home under the law. Assume your mom paid for maintenance until she married your stepfather. Why don't you just call it even and you don't ask for rent since he didn't know the home is legally was in your name.

@TruueDiscipline Stanfords graduating class for masters in data science has many Americans looking for jobs still... I know because im in the alumni LinkedIn groups. Only americans and (east) asian us born struggling for placement Youre wrong

This is the ultimate right wing slopulist statistic. Most net growth is going to foreigners because there are native born retirees to offset that. It is the same flaw as the "90% of jobs went to minorities after the pandemic" story that Bloomberg published.

@LinkWarLord sir this is a wendys: blog.chain.link/bbca-chain-sin… there was a very intentional reason this was the approach. it was laid out clearly a long time ago

I wonder if Chainlink not creating a chain becomes CLL's biggest fumble, or their most genius move. Feels like theres no in between.

@RowdyKoala47 @MTSlive There is no statute of limitations on fraud...

@MTSlive There should be no statute of limitations on fraud. That’s like saying the victim should have known they were defrauded and collected evidence (which is often held by the fraudster) and done it all within three years.

SITUATION DETECTED: The jury in Musk v. Altman has returned a unanimous verdict. All three of Elon Musk's claims against OpenAI were found barred by the statute of limitations.

@leamuirleyn What is the definition of money in the bill?

🚨🚨🚨There is a major flaw in the BRCA of the proposed Clarity Act: (d) CLARIFICATION OF TREATMENT explicitly states that the protections in subsection (c) DO NOT EXTEND to (or "modify the application of") 18 U.S.C. § 1960(b)(1)(C) for a specific subset of conduct by an "initial person." 18 U.S.C. § 1960 prohibits operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. Subsection (b)(1)(C) covers cases involving the transportation or transmission of funds that the defendant knows are: (1) Derived from a criminal offense (e.g., proceeds of fraud, drug trafficking, etc.); or (2) Intended to be used to promote or support unlawful activity (e.g., funding terrorism, further crimes). This is the exact 1960 subsection now being used to target developers. Every builder and developer knows their tool could be used for nefarious purposes. Under this law, that knowledge alone is enough to send you to prison for years. There is NO PROTECTION for developers in the Clarity Act while this carve out remains.

It’s 2018 and your coworker just sent you a 400 line pull request. You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it. It’s beautiful. Elegant micro-refactors. Crispy method names. You catch a few things, but that’s ok. It’s part of the dance. They didn’t consider extensibility on part of their API. Here’s a comment buddy. They respond in an hour saying they think we should do one piece differently than your comment. Hey let’s jump into a room and figure it out. We can’t just agree to disagree, this code is too important. The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment. That night you go to sleep and dream of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids, your IDE syntax highlighting sparking neurons in your reptile brain. You go to work the next day ready to go. You understand the system. N is your foundation. Time to build n+1.

@SternbergsGhost @arctyp_cmputing @romanhelmetguy I have the same issues with grok. One time I got grok to think for 15 minutes and then it errored and said no reply Because of the error it showed its thoughts. The essay I gave it (on common law) it fully agreed with and said had no factual errors. But yet, no reply...

@arctyp_cmputing @romanhelmetguy Most mainstream AI’s are untrustworthy

It’s very cool that I can’t use AI to locate quotes from ancient historians because Google doesn’t like the content of those quotes. Look at the thinking process. It finds the quote perfectly fine, but then pretends it can’t. AI is censoring Roman history.
