@dontbsalti @amishescapee South Koreans are a different league when it comes to beauty surgeries.

@amishescapee White women will say shit like this like they ain’t lookin botched af from over injecting fillers.

How is that crazy? Imagine how scared these women are to see their spawn with their original eyelids and jaw.

@Crime_Penguin @plzbepatient Chinese don’t subsidize car makers, they subsidize the supply chain. Most Chinese EV brands will go bankrupt in a decade, but the winners will be the most savage/lean companies in the world.

@plzbepatient The only way we can really do that is we subsidize our car industry the way China subsidizes their car industry. It’s not a matter of free competition, it’s a subsidized player vs. a non-subsidized player. And those subsides are meant to destroy non-Chinese industrial bases.

I’m okay with protectionism but Chinese automakers are becoming very good, very fast, and it would behoove us to somehow give our domestic automakers a kick in the ass to remain globally competitive

@SCHIZO_FREQ @Aelthemplaer She is actually currently a single mom. Which adds some complications.

@Aelthemplaer “I just… I don’t wanna roster. But I’m forced to roster. Because you have to roster now… or you’ll wind up a single mother” She is quite literally just saying things she thinks will appeal to you. They have no connection to her actual thoughts or feelings or desires

There's a lot of claims we're heading towards fascism or communism. Truth be told, I think it's more likely the United States ends up like Iran, where a class of 40+ childless women demand young men run a theocracy to make sure no one ever suffers as they did ever again.

@Aelthemplaer Most American conservatives would benefit from understaning Mao and the Iranian revolution but are too propagandized for it

@JosephFuisz @DA_Banks Most Americans do as well which is why Toyota and Honda do so well

@DA_Banks I couldn’t care less whether they were nice or not; I support American mfg

I’m telling you- the American consumer is not ready to see nice cars that they cannot buy

@faraz_r_khan @ApoStructura All of San Francisco was ocean beach type dunes until they crafted golden gate park. It is easily possible to geo engineer some nice sand beaches there

@ApoStructura It’s all marshland past Fremont.

I was so surprised when I went to San Jose and I learned that despite being a bay there was virtually no waterfront development. Huge missed opportunity

@saiminHlover @mahasr199 There are way more south asian founders. The number of indian founders especially is quite ridiculous.

@mahasr199 I see that many Chinese and Koreans respond by starting their own companies. Lots of successful East Asian founders in America these days. Feels like more at the top than south Asians actually

There are far less East Asians at the top of companies / politics in the US. Bamboo ceiling etc. This started during last election cycle when people from South Asian background were prominent in both parties.

@Shillslayer33 @moderate_mad @reddit_lies This is much worse than that imo - it is something happening live and essentially his father is a proper cuck. The OF/insta/podcast hoe mom era is going to be sad.

@moderate_mad @reddit_lies Throw in moms thinking being OF whores is no big deal when their son ends up killing himself from the bullying as they pull up vids of his mom getting fucked and sucking cock. Prob will go on Reddit loonijg for sympathy.

> Be degen cuck couple > Son finds out > Finds out a mentor figure was one of the guys sleeping with his mom > Refuses to speak to the mom > She loses it on Reddit I hope the best for the kid.

@muttley2607 @reddit_lies Is he stopping them from doing what they want? He is being quite adult about the process- including their rules about eating and not. Actions have consequences.

@reddit_lies Parents are free to do what they want and the kid can learn to harden up and deal with the fact that sometimes life can be uncomfortable. It's 2 adults in the their bedroom. She should of been a little more careful asking him to use the PC but he needs to get over it.

@reddit_lies @MJaadugar This is particularly horrific thing for a kid but there are going to so many kids with thot podcast and insta/titkok hoe moms going through a smaller version of the same issue.

@thsottiaux Overall some visual way to organize the information I have and see what is being used. This would go a long way in making it the everything app.

@thsottiaux You should add a project wide context manager that would work similar to obsidian graph notes. I should be able to continue to see all the broad context/knowledge for my projects, see which branches codex is using to solve my problems (is it missing some important context?)

What are we obviously not getting right with Codex?

@RobertMSterling It’s also ridiculous to assume that they would have just acquired it as is and not do some beneficial restructuring as part of the acquisition. An airlines is not a ps5.

[LONG RANT] “Spirit would have just made JetBlue go bankrupt anyway! You can’t blame Biden or Warren!” Do you guys know what bankruptcy is? I’m not trying to be rude, but do you understand that not all bankruptcy processes are the same (or even comparable), and that there are MAJOR differences between Chapter 11 and Chapter 7? Let’s set aside the particulars of JetBlue’s financial position and assume these people are right. Let’s grant them that—for purposes of argument—acquiring and integrating Spirit would have been the death knell for JetBlue’s lackluster balance sheet. (This is far from guaranteed, and I promise you that none of the people on social media making these claims have analyzed the company’s financial statements, let alone built a forecast for the business or looked at its solvency ratios.) JetBlue, under the worst case scenario, would be suffering from a balance issue, not a fatal structural issue with the company’s business model itself. In other words, it is not the case that JetBlue is a fundamentally “bad business” that shouldn’t exist. It just shouldn’t exist with the level of debt that it currently maintains (~$9.5B of debt and lease obligations, compared to EBITDA of $490M in 2024 and $284M in 2025). Finance bros would say it has “viability as a going concern,” just not with the level of liabilities currently on its balance sheet. When a company has a business model that fundamentally works—when it is viable as a going concern—but it is not able to service its liabilities, the company doesn’t just fold up and shut down. It generally goes through a restructuring process, either directly with creditors (you’ll hear the term “liability management exercise” from smart guys like my absolute bro @HighyieldHarry a lot) or via the court system. When the process is pursued via the court system, it is a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This is what Spirit attempted—twice—after the Biden administration sued to block its sale to JetBlue. In a Chapter 11 process, the company generally reorganizes its operations (burdensome contracts are renegotiated, new executives are sometimes brought in, etc.) and restructures its balance sheet (debt terms are modified, and owners of common equity, at the bottom of the capital stack, usually take substantive haircuts, if they’re not wiped out entirely). But here’s the most important part of Chapter 11—and I’m going to capitalize this for emphasis: THE BUSINESS DOES NOT STOP OPERATING. Not only does it not stop operating, its stakeholders—vendors and suppliers, for example—often aren’t allowed to stop working with them. Business goes on, the lights stay on, employees get paid (assuming temporary financing is lined up), and customers continue to be served. For the company, the world keeps turning, even if its equity owners know their days are limited. Under the worst case scenario, this is what would have happened—what still might happen—to a post-Spirit-acquisition JetBlue. Its planes would have kept flying, its employees would have continued receiving paychecks twice a month, and most passengers would not have even known any difference. Ultimately, the company exits the Chapter 11 process with a healthier balance sheet, better prospects for its future, and a new lease on life. Countless companies—including nearly every major US airline, as well as General Motors and Chrysler—have gone through this process and gone on to operate as successful commercial enterprises. I have zero doubt that, in this hypothetical scenario, JetBlue would end up being one of them. Now, let’s talk about what just happened with Spirit. Spirit isn’t going through Chapter 11 right now. It tried that twice already, and both times were insufficient. Spirit is therefore now filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 is liquidation. It is, for all intents and purposes, the end. Operations cease. Passengers get stranded at distant airports. Employees don’t get their paychecks, let alone creditors their debt serviced. If Chapter 11 is surgery and physical therapy for a business, Chapter 7 is capital punishment. It is corporate death. In a Chapter 7 process, the company’s assets are sold off—generally in piecemeal fashion—to the highest bidders, proceeds from which are used to satisfy creditors. In the case of Spirit, this will involve its fleet of planes (those that are owned, not leased) being sold off to other carriers, as well as ground equipment. Gate slots and leases—which are extremely valuable at space-constrained airports—will also be sold off to other airlines. Spirit’s customer file—the names, email addresses, and contact information of its customers—will probably get sold off to whichever scammy direct marketing firm is willing to pay the most. Even the Spirit brand itself will also be sold (Spirit Halloween, you guys have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.) Spirit’s creditors will be partially repaid. They will have a bad quarter, perhaps even a bad year. But they will, by and large, be fine. You know who won’t be fine? Spirit’s 15,000+ employees. They are—to use the proper legal and financial term—up shit creek. The company’s pilots will get scooped up by other airlines, though they and their families may have to relocate. Flight attendants may or may not get jobs elsewhere, as will its ground staff and its corporate employees (accountants, IT staff, etc.). But it’s not exactly the best white-collar job market right now. This is why it’s so infuriating to see people say Spirit would have dragged JetBlue into bankruptcy regardless, and that we therefore should not hold cynical, incapable politicians accountable. A JetBlue bankruptcy—which, again, would not have been a sure bet by any stretch of the imagination—would have been a Chapter 11 reorganization. Possibly even an out-of-court restructuring among the company and its creditors. Spirit’s bankruptcy, on the other hand, is the end. The company is dead. The two aren’t comparable. And this is a really shitty day for a lot of decent people that didn’t deserve any of this,

@RestoreAussies “Why is my birth rate so low?”

Just got in tonight from a late night Coles shop. Honestly, why on earth do Indians bring their entire extended family to do grocery shopping?! Grandparents, parents, kids, uncles the lot. All jabbering away in incomprehensible Hindi on full volume, two of the males on loud speakerphone phone calls at the same time, kids running amok and blocking aisles with their revolting selection in their shopping trolleys. I caught eyes with a fellow Anglo who was shaking his head in disbelief. In a moment of Anglo telepathy, nothing more needed to be said, we just shared a moment of mutual horror and gave a small nod of understanding. Indians genuinely are affecting our quality of life every single day, and not just with material big things like housing, schools, services etc, but the qualitative little things in everyday life. They literally ruin every public space they enter and every experience we have to share with them. I am so fatigued it is beyond belief.

@ZuLu_______X @GhettoCode @WifiMoneyPlant Because they cut the price more when you finance.

@GhettoCode @WifiMoneyPlant Why in the fuck would you pay something more than its worth and then AGAIN pay more for privilege of paying in installments? Use cash Save money pay in full Own outright Track your spending Invest money Stop being a fucking slave

Biggest "the kids are fucked" moment I've had recently was buying a car Walked into the dealership, told them what I wanted and said I'd pay up-front. Expected them to be thrilled Instead they were horrified. Spent the next 20 minutes trying to get me to finance it at some absurd rate Got me curious so after I left I read about car sale profit models. Apparently most US dealerships make more financing now than from the cars themselves I was such a boomer I assumed they'd want CASH In reality they want your ETERNAL SLAVERY at 19% APR

@sama @thekitze Bro you are on fire lately

@thekitze lol

you can pinpoint the moment when someone decides "oh fuck i need to be more likeable" and starts performing how the fuck do people fall for it it's incredible..

@GeringerAdam @PaulSkallas River cities are the real goat.

@PaulSkallas Idk my dad wants a beachfront shack… I never understood the appeal, it’s moody and heavy most of the year. Atleast with a canal or harbor you can watch the boats go by

There's some truth to this. When I lived on the beach the view during the day was incredible. The sunlight and the waves. But at night the darkness of the sea was heavy. I had to up my lighting game in the home. Make arrangements.

@WorldEater03 @JohnTheKulak @staysaasy @GarrettPetersen Western feminists are regressing to the level of third world chauvinistic villagers?

@JohnTheKulak @staysaasy @GarrettPetersen Here's the answer to that question:

I hear people say this and it is so sad man. Smart people say stuff like “oh I’d never want a boy. I have to teach them to not be a violent predator.” This framing is fundamentally antagonistic to half the population and a huge problem in society.

@boymanrobshit @arjun7965 My only regret is calls are much cheaper to get into at low prices

@amcking1971 @arjun7965 I’m in at 92 and just doubled down at earnings at 240. So yeah - this one might just be getting started.

Power semis is 100% the most asymmetric information play right now. It’s 100% coming. $NVDA requirements are immutable but nobody has a fucking clue. I cannot wait for @insane_analyst first principles deep dive demo results. I don’t think people realize this has to ship late 2026 for rubin ultra - I think.

@The_Equationist Inside they are factory workers - the shiny floors, the glass, the white tube lights, the grills.

Why are Indian and Chinese people so obsessed with slippery polished tile / marble floors?
