@Makhnoviteplus wait. what happened in the 1960s that made whites realize there was something even worse out there than wops and paddies

@HedgingNapoleon @juniortgr holy gottum

@juniortgr You experienced a poor banking relationship due to not working for a name IB firm

I once got an email from my ex-boss that we needed to pay a $50K banking fee on a $10 million transaction for a 3-day wire transfer. I had worked on this deal for 6 months. We finally got to the closing. Papers signed, opened the champagne, and then I asked my boss, "How long until the wire hits?" He told me, “Three days.” So asked, "Who owns the company for the three days while the money's in the air?" He laughed and explained how it worked with the letters from the bank, legal guarantees, and the whole closing process. But when he told me the wire fee was $50,000… I was shocked. I thought it was a little crazy considering I had just sent a $10,000 Bitcoin transaction to a friend for pennies the same day. I went home and Googled, "How much does it cost to send $10 million via Bitcoin?" The transaction cost for this larger amount was still pennies. That's when the lightbulb went off. I realised that Bitcoin technology is far superior and is going to take over. And there was nothing after that moment that could help me unsee it. Every industry fights technology changes. Newspapers fought the internet, taxis fought Uber, hotels fought Airbnb. Now, finance is fighting crypto adoption right now. So I left Wall Street to cofound my own startup after seeing firsthand how Bitcoin’s technology was superior to a $50,000 wire transfer.

once again i’m in the city and i don’t understand how all these fat blacks and browns are driving audis and bmws. the entire auto market is a mystery.

@justalexoki bitches man

how did he age like 20 years in 2 years

@tunguz i think it should be optional. if they want the right to vote then they need to be paying taxes. they can opt in, if they dont meet an income threshold so to speak.

I appreciate this sentiment, but I strongly disagree with it. What all research has shown is that there is a *HUGE* psychological difference in people's minds between paying $0 and just a small nominal amount. When you don't pay anything for something, you end up not valuing it at all. As long as we collect revenue for the public services through individual taxation, paying even a small nominal amount by everyone gives everyone a sense of the stake in the system.

@ZyMazza i am in sales and do this if i see their attention waning. never on a video call. god forbid.

Ever since I read that Dale Carnegie book as a child I've been immediately wary anytime someone drops my name while they're talking to me

@RodeoProfessor @sfmcguire79 slack jawed faggots, professor

I think 99% of the issues with evaluations could be solved if the review also included the student’s grade and attendance record. This can be hidden from faculty but admin should be able to see this, it couches the comments in needed context. The only bad evals I ever get are from slackers.

Now get rid of student course evaluations.

@samirsoriano @DeepValueBagger @StockMKTNewz total suckers Samir

@DeepValueBagger @StockMKTNewz And what about those who do?

JEFF BEZOS JUST SAID IN CNBC: - BOTTOM HALF OF WORKERS SHOULD PAY ZERO TAXES

@DeepValueBagger @StockMKTNewz i should be bottom half maxxing. damn.

@StockMKTNewz They already don't pay taxes. Actually most of the bottom half don't even file 1040. It just blows my mind.

@spectralfrenzy you can see the exact moment he conjures 'Only Rosie O'Donnell' 0:04

They stopped having an audience at debates just because of him

@RodeoProfessor sick. reinventing buffalo from first principles

@based_davidian A lot of wildlife season setting for big game is determined by risk of vehicle strike so you’re thinking about it like we do

Wildlife posts go mega viral like this every week. Their premise is always something like “we’ve killed all the buffalo and wild horses in America.” Obviously written by people who don’t live out here because wild horses are one of the biggest land management challenge in the West, there are way too many of them and they eat all the food, the landscape turns to dust, and the public would lose their minds if we “managed them” or “drove down density” in any way that involved mortality of any kind. Every Western state has BLM corrals full of wild horses looking for adoption for this very reason. This isn’t just my opinion either, the federal agencies have run the numbers for the carrying capacity of public range (how many wild horses can public rangeland reasonably feed) and there are 3x the wild horses vs what we have to feed them on public range land. BLM deals with this through removals from public and private land (when they wander onto your property you can call the Feds and get them taken to a corral to be adopted). Each year the plan is to remove about 12-14k but it’s hard to do as the scale out here is so large and they cross the mosaic of public and private. But like lamenting wild horses being gone is like lamenting pigeons are gone from whatever city you live in. Then with buffalo, I mean Americans have orchestrated the most comprehensive scientific recovery of that species maybe in the history of the field of wildlife conservation, we now have herds on public, private, and tribal land that reflect the huge investment in buffalo conservation that we’ve made as a society. Yes, we don’t have pre American settlement wide open frontier, but do we actually want nobody living out here just to bring back entirely free moving herds of animals? Or is the new system where herds live on private, public, and tribal land and continue to be recovered by scientists, Feds, ranchers, tribes make sense for the modern age. Grow up Peter Pan.

Never forget this gem. Extremely unserious people.

He was that good

@femboykaczynski the moment we became second class citizens:

I have become alot more racist with the realization niggеrs can kill you id you call them niggеrs.

@denimneverdies and most importantly, annoying. bullying is not accidental.

One thing that a lot of people don't realize about bullying is that usually the "victims" are weird, or ugly

@kevndriscoll political boomers are hippies and adore this singalong bullshit.

Rob Sand, a Democrat running for governor in Iowa, starts his town halls by having Republicans, Democrats and independents sing America the Beautiful together before anyone argues about politics. It's hard to believe this is real when you first watch it. Rob Sand is doing something very different in Iowa right now. It's working driscollglobe.com/p/what-rob-san… (video credit: @LauraRBelin)

@ResiVeteran Elon's products are so innovative and different across all his companies the pricing just comes off retarded yet it still seems to work for him. Grok for instance. then it doesn't function every 2-3 days, despite paying for it. still mind boggling and i love it.

One of the biggest problems with Starlink is their inconsistent pricing. I originally got Starlink back in 2021 for $99 a month. It then jumped to $110 in May of 2022. It dropped to $90 in March of 2023. It jumped up to $120 in May of 2024. At $120 I couldn’t justify it any longer as Fibre had moved into the area at $60 per month and was multiple X times Mbps faster up and down. Fast forward to 2025 and Starlink had started offering “stand by mode” for $5. Hmmmm, okay. Don’t use it but it’s nice to have in case of emergency so I signed up. Been auto paying $5 every month since. Now it’s May of 2026 and they increase standby mode 100% to $10 month for a service I’m not using at all? I’ll be cancelling. @Starlink need to stop the roller coaster pricing bullshit. JMHO
