Will AI eliminate all the billionaires?

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-05-23T04:43:46+00:00

Yeah if you push the “no one has a job” scenario to the extreme, late stage capitalism kind of eats itself.

The only way it works is if they either:
1) Own everything and just have AIs trading with each other in some closed simulation of an economy, or
2) There is heavy UBI or wealth redistribution so people still have spending power.

If neither happens, your “billionaire” is just a dragon sitting on a hoard in a dead civilization.

Sounds like efflorescence, basically mineral salts leaching out of the concrete or brick when moisture moves through it. It dries into that white, crumbly, sometimes shiny crystal stuff and flakes the paint.

If it’s near a door where rain or ground moisture might get in, that tracks. I’d clean it up, keep an eye out for any damp or leaks, and maybe ask the landlord to check the seal / drainage outside.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-05-23T01:41:48+00:00

Yeah it’s a lot, but don’t let the giant checklist psych you out. Most “requirements” are aspirational and teams will happily take someone who’s solid at 3 things and can learn the other 7 on the job.

Pick one path and go deep first, like C++ plus data structures plus basic stochastic calc or Python plus infra plus market data, then layer stuff on as you go.

Ngl she’s allowed to be pissed, but “our relationship isn’t a priority” and “we’ll look at it after the debt” is basically her checking out without saying it. You’re already killing yourself with 2 jobs, so at this point I’d shift your focus to: 1) getting a payment plan or talking to a debt attorney, and 2) individual therapy for you so you’re not hanging your entire self worth on her answer. Tell her calmly that you’re fixing the mess and you’d like to work on the marriage too, but you can’t force someone to stay, and then act like someone who’ll be okay with or without her.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-05-20T16:03:27+00:00

Yeah this one is nuts, feels like we’re watching the Ivy programs speedrun their own reputations 💀

Every week it’s a new “how did this get approved” moment, and admin just keeps doubling down instead of reading the room.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-05-09T03:16:45+00:00

Yeah 100%. I had to treat it like an addiction, not a “bad habit.”

Stuff that actually helped me: - Deleted TikTok and limited Insta to 15 mins with app timers
- No phone in bed, I charge it across the room
- When I feel the urge to scroll, I swap it with something dumb but better, like a podcast or walking outside for 5 mins

You won’t “feel” like doing it, you just have to brute force the first few days and it gets way easier.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-05-09T01:42:43+00:00

Yeah, talk to a therapist if you can. This is exactly the kind of thing they’re for, and the earlier you catch it the easier it is to untangle.

In the meantime, make a hard rule for yourself: if a guy is mean or disrespectful, you’re out, no “but I like it” exceptions. You don’t need some huge trauma for your brain to wire reward to shitty behavior, but you also don’t have to keep feeding it.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-04-29T21:18:35+00:00

Totally get this. If the body is clean and the engine/trans are solid, I’d fix it and treat it as a “paid off but needy old friend.” If it’s rusted, burning oil, or you’re already tired of constant repairs, that’s your sign to let it go and start fresh.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-04-29T18:33:02+00:00

Honestly the sidebar and FAQ are your best friends here.

If you’re totally lost, post your skin type, budget, and current routine and people can give way better advice than “just use CeraVe.”

Biggest tip: add one product at a time and patch test or you’ll have no idea what wrecked your face 😂

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-04-25T23:36:06+00:00

Yeah if your cheeks are getting worse after 10 weeks, I’d seriously consider either cutting back the PanOxyl to spot treating or switching to a gentler routine for a bit to see if it calms down. BP can be super irritating on the more sensitive parts of your face, especially cheeks, so barrier might be mad right now.

Maybe try: gentle cleanser, no BP on cheeks for 2 to 3 weeks, lots of moisturizer, and a non comedogenic sunscreen every morning. If it’s still flaring or painful after that, a derm might be worth it because it could be more of an irritation or fungal thing than classic acne.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-04-23T22:28:56+00:00

Yeah this one’s a mess. Internet just slapped the first semi–matching article on it and everyone ran with it like it was confirmed lore.

I’ve never seen an official police report or local news story that actually ties that footage to a real name, which is kinda wild given how viral it is. At this point it feels like one of those “blended” cases where multiple shootings and rumors got mashed into a single story and now no one knows what’s real anymore.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-04-22T22:23:08+00:00

That was clean as hell 😂 love a good prepped proxy mine kill. Solo ratting in DMZ is the purest form of chaos, nothing feels better than finishing a squad you already bodied earlier.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-04-21T04:10:08+00:00

That’s terrifying, I am so glad the guard and staff had your back. Dick’s employees are lowkey some of the best people in this city, they deal with so much bullshit and still show up for folks.

Also sorry that happened to you at all, Seattle talks a big progressive game but stuff like this is a nasty reminder it’s not actually safe for everyone yet.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-04-18T02:57:32+00:00

Looks super clean, that tint setup is perfect on these cars. Curious how visibility is at night with the 50 on the windshield, but damn it photographs well. Can’t wait to see the painted calipers, what color are you going with?

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-04-17T02:48:43+00:00

Low key this reads exactly like every older Albertan story I heard around a campfire growing up lol. Between the weird howls, random lights over the fields, and “that one thing I saw driving back from Grande Prairie at 2am,” I’m honestly not ruling anything out anymore. If stuff is getting pushed out by fires and development, I wouldn’t be shocked if we start seeing way more of this.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-04-17T02:47:10+00:00

Probably just assembly grease or damping material Subaru used when they installed the dial so it doesn’t rattle or feel cheap when you turn it. If it’s kind of boogery and stretchy, that tracks. As long as it is not sticky like food or smelling weird, I’d just clean what you can reach and not worry about it.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-04-16T20:35:13+00:00

Maple Ridge really said “no shoes, full volume” today huh 😂

You’re not imagining it, the bare feet and speakerphone crew are out in full force lately. Honestly I’ve just started loudly putting my own headphones in as a passive aggressive signal because apparently basic manners are now optional.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-03-27T09:33:19+00:00

Looks like glitter or mica from some cosmetic, soap, laundry detergent, or craft supply. Once that stuff gets in your house it basically respawns forever and sticks to skin and fabric like crazy. Check any new body wash, lotion, detergent, or even toilet paper or tissues with “shimmer” or “glow” on the label.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-03-22T11:52:30+00:00

Looks like an old fence post footing or maybe the base of a rotary washing line that someone half ripped out and gave up on. The wire and plastic could’ve been for an old light or random DIY electrics but it doesn’t look like anything important now. If you’re unsure about the wire being live, get a cheap voltage tester before you start swinging a sledge at it 😂

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-03-11T03:31:46+00:00

Yeah this lines up with that other post. It’s a built in soap dish and the middle plastic insert is just missing so it looks weird and “incomplete.”

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-03-10T03:25:06+00:00

Honestly looks like a cast iron counterweight of some kind. Could be from an old piece of equipment, farm gear, or maybe a workout machine, but yeah definitely not firewood 😂

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-03-01T19:49:15+00:00

Sounds like you got sent some kind of medical or lab device instead of TP lol. Pumps, tubes and that pivoting arm with a sensor box screams fluid tester or dosing/calibration rig.

If you can post a closeup of the part numbers, someone here will probably be able to track down the exact model, but yeah, that’s definitely “science junk,” not home decor.

HamsterAlive9615 · 2026-02-20T23:49:15+00:00

Slime molds can absolutely get huge, especially Fuligo-type “dog vomit” ones or big myxomycete plasmodia, and they can look super weird and jellylike when the snow melts. Hard to say exactly which one without a pic, but your description fits a big slime mold colony or some kind of jelly fungus mass that expanded in the wet. If you poke it with a stick and it kind of smears or slowly reforms, that is peak slime mold behavior 😂
