@BowTiedMara Is there a version for men to detect red flags in women? Or is that beyond even the omniscience of AGI?

The Argentine app some women use to rate dates before going out started in Buenos Aires eight months ago as a private project among friends. Today it has 22,000 users. It works like this: You upload screenshots of the chat of the guy you're talking to, and an AI analyzes patterns of manipulation, narcissism, passive aggression, love bombing, likely lies, and chances of being ghosted. Then it returns a score. "Emotional risk: 78/100" "High probability of infidelity" "Profile compatible with emotional dependency" "Language similar to men previously reported" Premium users can even connect the guy's Instagram and let the model analyze follows, likes, activity times, and changes in behavior. The creator is 27 years old and studied psychology at the University of Buenos Aires. She says the idea came about after a friend ended up hospitalized due to domestic violence. Lawyers want to sue her, while female users love her. Several men have started asking for screenshots of their own results on the app before accepting a date. The app is called FirstRedFlag and has a waiting list 😂

@Macuahuitl67 @WarMonitor3 It's a mixture of old wealth, middle-class migrants from poor South Asian and African countries larping as fancy Europeans, and mass migration of poor and mentally unwell people (mainly arabs, especially around the station area). I think old wealth hides out in the countryside.

@calvinfroedge I never understood how people could just shrug off news like "China quarantines a city of 11 million overnight". It made me go completely nuts, literally nobody in my environment believed me and thought I was crazy.

When I said in January 2020 that the world would lock down over coronavirus, I lost friends and colleagues. I was right, and they never came back later and asked how I knew. Will we lock down over hantavirus? Not sure yet, waiting on clear evidence they GoF aerosolized it.

@elonmusk There isn’t even a stable definition for socialism that people agree upon, so it’s a term that just generates conflict.

@SimonDixonTwitt @maneco1964 Everyone approving it in parliament moved their capital offshore? Pretty sure there are a lot of useful idiots among the functionaries and the public who actually just think it’s a good thing

Wealth taxes are how you turn the EU into a distressed asset for private equity acquisition. Remember: a wealth tax on unrealised gains leads to forced asset selling by average Europeans, while carve-outs exist for those using offshore corporate vehicles. Any country implementing this policy (such as the Netherlands) is engineering a market crash and distressed acquisition strategy, designed to transfer wealth from retail investors to institutions, all wrapped in a “tax the rich” narrative. As with policies like this, it will be structured to transfer wealth upward, just like the current closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This is a real endgame asset-stripping policy, deliberately designed to engineer a crisis that would otherwise have been allowed to occur through normal market corrections. Manufactured crisis is the policy. And only those with offshore corporate structures and hard money to invest during distress will survive it. Of course, if you own a money printer connected to a central bank, then you will create the money needed to acquire distressed assets and privatise the gains while socialising the losses. Everybody needs to become far more financially savvy to survive the crises these policies engineer.

How Europe Is Designing a Tax System You Can’t Escape. The Netherlands is introducing a 36% tax on unrealized investment gains in 2028, even if you don’t sell your assets. The tax will be due each year on paper profits.

@esmeraldamoreno Eres mujer paisa viviendo en la costa? Por lo que he visto visitando mucho a la costa es que hay sinfin de problemas culturales en general, que no se tratan de odiar específicamente de gente de otras regiones del país, sino cuestiones de etnia, género, nivel económico, et cetera

@bcbweb @AndresHeeeery En Los Andes no es tan marcada la diferencia y el trato entre las personas, pero con otras culturas es abismal. Lo digo como mujer paisa que vive hace mucho por fuera de su cultura y que me ha constado mucho adaptarme, porque en general el trato es muy agresivo y violento.

A Colombia hay que balcanizarla. Las dinámicas en cada región son muy distintas y eso es insostenible. De la actual Colombia, pueden salir fácilmente unos 5 países.

@esmeraldamoreno @AndresHeeeery Durante años recorriendo al país en moto lo único odio que he visto es entre “petristas” y “uribistas”. Pero a nivel regional ni siquiera considero que el choque entre rolo y paisa llegue hasta nivel de odio.

@vrexec They didn’t have to overthink because they know there are plenty of pathways to make it work for people like them. What they are naive about is how terrible an idea it is to move to Western Europe right now

Met someone recently Father of 2, works in tech sales, wife is a consultant Says “we’re actually going to move to Europe next year” I asked if they have EU passports He says no I asked which of their companies are going to transfer/sponsor them He says they’re not going to tell their employers I asked how long they planned to be in Europe then He said indefinitely… just put the kids in local schools and enjoy their mornings given the time difference.. live a “simpler life” with less stress I then explained.. almost waiting for him to reveal the joke.. that they can’t just “move to Europe” and drop their kids in school and get cheap healthcare. They need to be citizens or have visas… formally update their residency… be legitimately employed locally… not to mention legit docs for things like landlord approvals… the list went on. He wasn’t joking, apparently. This grown adult thought they could just “move to Europe” illegally… and he didn’t even think about the legality of it at all Apparently he’s a “doer” type guy who just makes things happen Good luck to him

@Glinner Bitcoin being backed by the raw material of the universe is the only more retarded thing than Gary’s claims that I’ve heard today. You cannot retrieve that “ditigitzed energy” and use it. Ironically one of the few statement’s Gary is right about is Bitcoin being unbacked.

@clim8resistance He almost definitely hasn't achieved everything he claims. Perhaps at most he was taken under the wing of successtul people as a cute working class pet. But someone with his IQ clearly isn't making millions trading by himself

I've never been sufficiently interested to give him a hearing before. But here he really does not sound like anyone with any serious grasp of economics/finance/etc. He struggles with some basic concepts that would be immediately understood by someone with a fraction of the background he claims. What a strange phenomenon.

Gary doesn't even understand the basics of taxation, like income tax vs inheritance tax or corporate tax vs consumption tax.

@ewangibbs The point is that in the eyes of the Green voters it would supposedly be a blessing not a punishment, so if they object they invalidate their own claims

@DanneBig @DavidRu54517622 @8teAPi Do you think it makes you sound more intelligent using some kind of innuendo or are you afraid someone will challenge you and you’ll have to substantiate your belief that everything bad in this world is run by the “juuus!”?

@DavidRu54517622 @8teAPi If we look in history books it almost always starts. Armed men goes there, kill all men and boys, keep the women. And maybe a generacion down or to it starts as women taking high status men.

Unbelievable scenes in El Salvador today. Hundreds have gathered demanding a total ban on Bad Bunny music. The protesters are literally claiming the music 'lowers IQ' and turns people gay. 🇸🇻

Trump assured the nation that gas prices will drop like a rock when the war with Iran ends. The problem is the war may not end for a long time, and even when it does, risk premiums will remain high, as peace may not last. Plus, demand may spike as nations rush to build reserves.
