Hello there

@icebait316 @ayeejuju A trip to Antarctica can cost like $20,000

@ayeejuju 145k for 6 months.. Living expenses covered and only thing he's really talking about is doordash and a girlfriend... For that kind of money she can fly there once a month with doordash in her hand

@bigbossphi2 If you do that they'll see that as contempt and you can go to jail

I wouldn’t even work lmao

@BasedTomas @BenTh3B3ar @MKatwood High schools give everyone A's now and everyone is using AI. They shouldn't make assignments and exams that they're been using for 20 years easiest just cause new students are stupid now

@BenTh3B3ar @MKatwood College professors are not educators. You a whole grown adult you should be able to learn the material

Took one class in college where the midterm average was 17%, and the TAs told the prof about it during class. Whole room fell silent

@TheiaCurious @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 Even on SNAP, the poorest access it daily. A pound of bananas grown in South America, shipped across oceans, and kept ripe costs 60¢ at a US store. Thousands of examples to be made. Also Mexico has very strict gun laws. Just 1 legal store in the country. but far higher gun crime

@hello_general @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 It the global suply chain doesn't matter if you can't access it. Like materially you can't access it as in poverty. Also America especially has 1 thing most other countries don't have: lots and lots of comapratively easy guns to get.

I'm pretty fucking sure there were like 10 within 6 months

@TheiaCurious @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 But the original point is socioeconomic factors is not an excuse for gun violence. Take a look at the rest of the world that is much poorer than the lowest in America.

@TheiaCurious @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 Comparing literal global famine to 5k clinical malnutrition deaths a year in the US is exactly the kind of hyperbole that ruins real advocacy. My point is about perspective. The lowest economic rung in America still benefits from a global supply chain subsidized by actual poverty

@TheiaCurious @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 The reason this is being discussed is because you said Americans are starving like the rest of the world. They're not. They're fat. They live with infinitely high expectations. Luxury to billions is what Americans think is suffering.

@TheiaCurious @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 If a bus full of people got stuck in the forest and they starved to death it would be statistically significant for that year. That's how low the starvation rate is in America. Those 14 million include families who don't buy healthy food. They're not all "hungry children".

@TheiaCurious @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 Okay so I've read those. You're conflating food security and clinical malnutrition with absolute starvation. The malnutrition numbers are primarily driven by secondary malnutrition. For example dementia and wasting diseases. Not to mention that's over 30 years, so 5260 per year.

@hello_general @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12… 158 thousands death by malnutrition in the US from 1993 to 2023. And the rate looks to only ever increase.

@TheiaCurious @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 Because essentially nobody starves in the United States, that's my whole point! People die from eating too much food instead!

@hello_general @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 "Oh no i'm literally starving in the us. I shouldn't cimplain because at least i'm not starving in Africa" this is fucking idiotic... Poverty is poverty regardless of if it's in the US or a third world country...

@TheiaCurious @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 The floor in the US is the ceiling for most of the planet. The baseline expectations of Americans are luxuries. Real poverty is a lack of clean water and basic safety, not having roommates to split rent with you.

@hello_general @forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 I doesn't matter if you're drowning in 6 feet of water or 20 feet of water. At the end of the day you're still drowning.

@forpoooo @hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 The lowest class in the USA still has better access to education, infrastructure, water, electricity and goods and services and relative salary compared to probably 7 billion people. Americans are propped up by the actual globally disadvantaged and still think they're poor.

@hungeecheeter @8Ninety61310 the reason that amount is high for those people of color is because of the economic racism, poc were considered unworthy of economic value so they were placed in lower classes.

@Garak42069 @taxspendlib Bitcoin isn't even the best cryptocurrency let alone the best option. C'mon...

@taxspendlib it's called Bitcoin lol and no it cannot be improved upon

I genuinely can't think of any reasonable way to innovate on "transferring money to someone"

@taxspendlib Qr code. Used in most of Asia.

@Rogpod13 @Cazzy Do you think the kidnapper might want to hide the evidence in some way? Commit a worse crime?

@Cazzy It's a way to communicate to the person who took the children that there is nowhere they can hide.

@JeffMightBWrong @JeremiahDJohns That's clearly an issue though if people have no money

@JeremiahDJohns If we’re counting concern over things that haven’t happened yet, it has to be “AI might create abundance without most people having to work.”

What's the most "oh no, my steak too juicy, my lobster too buttery" complaint you see people make?

@mldavidson93 @GlobeEyeNews This new law is just to appease Kim Jong Un. They're not actually gonna do it. North Korea isn't going to nuke anybody

@GlobeEyeNews A uncontrollable radical regime with a nuclear weapon or threat of one is dangerous to the world. North Korea is a prime example of what Iran has become.

BREAKING: North Korea changed its constitution to automatically launch nuclear strike if Kim Jong Un is assassinated.

@sten_deeznuts Cause you're in their contacts

can someone explain why some social medias will recommend my contacts even when i have contacts turned off

@opalexian @h4h4producitons @StrainedNoodles He never said his baby ate shit

@hello_general @h4h4producitons @StrainedNoodles The only person who encouraged CPS being called is the dude who talked for several minutes about his baby eating dogshit off the floor gave the whole family giardia. They don’t know who called CPS but Cali is a mandatory reporter state so

Ethan Klein is not mentally well and has no real friends to tell him this or help him. Holy shit dude.

@h4h4producitons @StrainedNoodles Encourage people to call child protective services and said it was funny

@StrainedNoodles What did they do to try and get their family destroyed?
