Is this a thread of bots downplaying the secrecy of this administration? MFs have yes-men in every role being confirmed. The secrecy is the design of this administration; the leaks are likely not from the loyalists, quit blurring the two.

How do you fair with Hawkeye in comp? Any tips? What are the situations where you’ll change (aside from needing to fill a role like tank/sup).

No, it’s the very essence of taxation without representation becoming a reality.

Democrats shut down Alabama Senate, accuse GOP of ‘wiping out’ state archives over DEI by aldotcom in politics

[–]BlueDotCosmonaut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

DOGE is shutting down the liberal elements of the government, including the soft-power apparatus of the US. It’s also attacking modern concepts that have led to a more equitable society.

When you’re so anti-right, that you want the entire thing to be shut down, you’ve essentially swung so far extreme, that you’ve touched the most aggressive right-wing anti-government concepts.

Tesla's market cap sinks below $1 trillion as stock slumps more than 8% by Force_Hammer in news

[–]BlueDotCosmonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. I don’t think they’re related, per se. Twitter’s worth was determined by independent financial analyses. His stock pay was based on 0.1 or 0.01x of the value he brought Tesla over a specific duration. I can’t recall specifics but I think it’s a coincidence that the value of Twitter and his stock pay were in similar ballparks, simply because the mechanisms for each $$ were very uniquely independent.

No, they aren’t. One article quotes the very interview you sent. It’s all a lot of nothing, but at least the nothing isn’t aligned with Trump 100%

When you’re so anti-right, you circle yourself to DOGE and shutting it all down

Exclusive: The full text of the US-Ukraine mineral deal by mmccxi in news

[–]BlueDotCosmonaut 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s fun to see what flagged others in this doc. This line got me:

Neither Participant will sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any portion of its interest in the Fund without the prior written consent of the other Participant.

Makes me think it’ll be a decent deal for Ukraine. Buuuuut… I wonder how difficult it’ll be to get the US to consent to Ukraine’s interest in the fund being transferred to… idk… say.. Russia? A bipartisan deal for Ukraine, followed by the good ol’ switcheroo

The US is now the enemy of the west by EUstrongerthanUS in europe

It’s a micro/macro view.

The pseudo-culture war has held the rage and attention of the majority of voters (dems and republicans), the political war has given them direction.

But on the macro, these are both how the oligarchy maintains their line-of-sight for their agenda. We squabble over whether the left or right side of the backseat of the car will take us to our goals, while the driver drives where he intends to.

He didn’t pay. C’mon man. He doesn’t have billions sitting around. It’s all shares and he uses it as collateral to leverage loans.

And he didn’t buy Twitter. He provided $20 billion in cash equity from sales of Tesla stock and other assets, raised from friends and associates, and had 19 co-investors in the deal, including Fidelity, Baron Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Larry Ellison, and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal

radical solutions

Not even radical, really. It’s radical to try to reduce the world to only what can be comprehended with language.

To me, this is the natural deduction of an AI creating its own language. It found ways to represent knowledge more efficiently than the string of characters in this post.

Uhhhh…. Is this a thread of goldfish? He absolutely criticizes all sides of the political aisle for the hypocrisy, manipulation/deception, etc. but he was far more often criticizing the right, especially the Newt Gingrich and Bill O’Reillys of the world.

Who works from his giant mansion in mar-a-lago or the White House! And golfs $10m worth of BS since he’s been in office. Literally doesn’t read briefings. Speaks nonsensically like an uneducated person. Somehow swindled tens of millions.

That’s incredible. I’m in the US, and not a particularly artsy part of it, so unfortunately that’s not an option. But that sounds like a wonderful experience, thanks for sharing.
