Social media used to be about socializing and communicating. These days its all drivel that has bren productized into a vehicle where streaming addictive brain rot keeps the advertisements flowing and lowers self esteem.

Gen Z may have adopted the internet but it was born of us- AIM, yahoo messenger, ICQ, IRC servers, news groups… all on a dial-up modem. The good old days where there wasnt enough bandwidth for all the ads of today, and the most intrusive ads were a 468x60 pixel banner at the top or bottom of the netscape page

Small correction- AC power doesn’t “travel in waves”. It just oscillates up and down with respect to its reference, and same with its current with respect to its impedance. Just looks like a wave if you look at its position over time.

With a completed circuit with low impedance, it would trip your breaker. With completed circuit with large enough impedance to not trip breaker, it might burn your apartment down in a number of ways. Could also kill neighbor if they are somehow making a return path, as current disrupts your nervous system where once they get caught in the shock they lose control of their muscles and are held in the current unable to let go, electrocuting them until death. If insulation is high enough to effectively be an open circuit, your neighbor on the pole wouldn’t know it was electrified in the same way a bird sitting up on a power line doesn’t have a clue its anything but a normal wire in the air. Largely depends on how the pole is installed and if its touching any metal or electrical wires where it is mounted on top, bottom, or both. Also if neighbor is ground level or if another apartment beneath them. A lot of variables create.a lot of possible outcomes.

Would not recommend, lot of risks with little to no chance of any reward

I would absolutely love to see an AI deepfake press conference where Leavitt is transformed into the Mouth of Sauron and explaining to the press the great leaders plans for arresting and torturing other races and defending the necessity for conquering ukraine or Europe or whatever

“The reason women and some couches cover their drinks”

FTFY

I kind of wonder if the shooting was planned when looking at the facts

• shooter background was an Afghan CIA operative
• shooter was vetted and given asylum by Trump administration in April 2025
• months ago Trump deployed National Guard to DC without justification citing “crime”, despite crime rates dropping
• a week ago, a judge ruled the National Guards deployment in DC was unlawful and he lacked authority or cause for it
• two days ago, operative shoots 2 guardsmen not far from white house and immediately surrenders
• Trump and Hegseth immediately respond saying not only are the national guards presence there legitimate and justified, but they are activating 500 more to head to DC

Curious.

Theyve pivoted from standard religions to their cult following. It has special exceptions.

Both meters and seconds are units of Earth specific measures of space and time. Pretty sure at a cosmic scale god would give fuckall about how we measure and name our shit

In a competitive poorly regulated capitalist economy that’s driven by bottom lines and dividends, I’m pretty sure being a narcissistic sociopath is a prereq for the C suite

This is why Project 2025 intends to ban abortion and limit contraceptives. They want to proliferate their voter base.

They’ve been conditioned for 8 years that any negative thing they read or hear about their leader is “fake news”, and likely their own pride of not wanting to consider the possibility they could be mistaken has made them easy targets for the misinformation machine at Fox News to avoid telling them objective facts to instead pander to their emotions and tell them what opinion they should have. Mass manipulation by biased media.

I’d sooner credit Tucker Carlson for the invention of dumbasses.

The truth is out there.

So with a 401k loan, which is kind of this, you are limited to borrowing against it by like only up to 50% of its face value due to factors such as market volatility. And then all payments made to that loan are with alreaey taxed income, so you aren’t securing money in any way that dodges taxation.

Also using shareholdings is no different from using a house or property as collateral… property equity has unrealized value until it is sold too. One might argue you pay property taxes on that equity, but ideally, the company behind the stocks you own pays property taxes for its ownings annually, so that’s still happening. So the real problem is large companies dodging taxes due to exploiting broken tax code loopholes.

What is the most beneficial knowledge which can be enlightened upon me which i can both understand and relay and/or implemenet which will have the greatest positive impact on humanity while also being a medium for my own success and instrumental in self-fulfillment spiritually, economically, and emotionslly?

Maybe one of the times he failed outright and another time he only got to 2nd base

I think it already is blowing up in their face, and agree fully with your sentiment. While atheists dont depend on religion to define their morals, they get the opportunity to self-define their morals. A narcissistic egotisticial born-with-a-silver-spoon person like Trump is a wolf in sheep’s clothing parading as one of them. He decays or corrupts everything he touches, and the GOP and evangelical Christians have been rubbing all up on him for 7 years. Both groups are in crisis these days.

The GOP has no true platform beyond revenge politics, and the churches are bleeding congregation members… people leaving either because they aren’t on board the crazy train of their church peers or leave because they’ve allowed their beliefs and morals to twist out of whack in conflict of scripture.

Gotta say, ive done magical things in Javascript. NodeJS in particular can do damn near anything you set your mind to, and it doesnt give a damn if you use tab or 4 spaces.
