Woah dude careful, I think you're stuck in 2022!

Hi Peter! You did my E3 visa a while back. When I was standing in line at the US consulate in Sydney, the person in front of me was really nervous, visibly shaking. I saw that their papers had your letterhead, so I was able to calm them down a bit by showing them my papers, which also had your letterhead.

Thanks for all your hard work!

That's not true at all and not what anthropocene climate change implies.

Hey, you did my E-3 visa a couple years ago! Thanks for all the hard work!

hahaha if you can figure out how to farm Kangaroos, let us Aussies know please!

The USS Liberty incident is so often used as a boogeyman to make Israel seem overtly malicious to the USA. Often forgotten is that the day before the incident, the Israeli air force accidentally bombed one of their own infantry columns.

I live in the same neighborhood and saw one driving on the sidewalk a few weeks ago.

Reality TV has been softcore pornography for about a decade now, advertisers have no issue with it

I'm sure meta knows how to make a social product successful, the "everything for everyone" approach has earned them billions of dollars in revenue over twenty years now.

In the past two weeks in San Francisco, I have seen:

- Cruise car stopped dead in the middle of Oak street at Divisadero, at night, with no emergency lights on.

- Waymo car driven onto the sidewalk to pick up a passenger on Scott street at Haight street

- Waymo car stopped, blocking the whole road on Carmelita street because it started a 3 point turn and then decided it didn't have enough room to continue

- Cruise car swerving out in front of traffic from the kerb on Divisadero at Ellis street without signaling

The point is that with a constant amount of assaults, and fewer potential victims, you are more likely to be a victim.

And the 19 year old who didn't want to go on the submarine but wanted to spend time with his dad? Was he reckless? Was he worth searching for?

What's your definition of reckless? Were the boys stuck in the cave in Thailand reckless? Should we not have rescued them? Where is the line of who is deserving of our sympathy?

This past weekend in SF, I saw a driver slow and stop to reverse parallel park on Bush Street at Fillmore. An automated Cruise car stopped right behind him, blocking the driver from reversing into the parking spot. The guy got out to yell at the driver to back up, but then saw that it was driverless.

He drove off, and someone else got the spot.

I'm curious - if we knew in March 2020 that covid came from a lab, what _would_ we have done differently?

Is she? No widespread price controls have been implemented in the U.S., yet inflation is slowing due to the effect of contractionary monetary policy. Price floors on grains have been implemented in some Easter European countries, but that's mainly a populist measure to protect against cheap Ukrainian imports.

I did read the article. It paints Weber as being correct just because she is a victim.

The thing about the economic cycle is that it's a cycle. This too shall pass.

And why do people have the capacity to just "keep buying things"?

Record breaking profits are caused by, not the cause of, inflation as goods and services get more expensive while the cost of labour takes time to catch up. This is well known economic theory.

Did corporations suddenly become greedy in 2021? No, they were always so.

What if we're thinking about inflation all right?

Huge stimulus programs over the past five years absolutely overcooked the economy and fueled high inflation. Fiscal policy, hands bound by the rise of populism, is doing nothing to help, while central banks, free from the constraints of worrying about electability, are using the only tool they have to try stop the bleeding.

The solution, of course, is to tighten fiscal policy in the way of reducing spending or increasing taxes. But that's political suicide.

There are no Jewish settlers in Gaza, they were forcibly removed by the IDF during the disengagement in 2005.

Given the recent seizure of crypto accounts funnelling money to Hamas and Iran[0], this seems pretty sensible, to funnel more financial activity in the region onto platforms that have good AML/ATF processes.

Good for the tuna.

With the rapid rise of fentanyl and closure of asylums, I would argue a bit of debt and having shelter is a significant improvement over homelessness.

news dot com dot au is tabloid garbage, equivalent of the sun or the daily mail

Improvement over what exactly?

Out of interest, are there any other groups where you believe that it would be dangerous for members of that group to be "aware of their ethnicity"? Or is it only Jews?
