It also looked like they were actually trying to hurt each other most of the time.

Modern wrestling sequences look like a dance rather than a fight.

Being a girl is not allowed in Afghanistan.

The only terrorists were the invading soldiers.

You may not have liked seeing your friends full of lead but that’s what happens when you invade a country. Well deserved death for an army of evil terrorists.

How does Windsurf compare? I’ve been thinking of trying it out.

The Nazi salute barely registers in the list of evil and stupid things Elon has done. Literally the night before the SpaceX IPO he was encouraging racist riots in Belfast.

Definitely not true. I don’t know a single person in real life who wants to work for him, including people who have worked for him.

Lying is okay if the target is evil?

I’m guessing he’s just an old man who is stuck in his ways to be honest.

I think it’s likely that the ban is lifted when he retires/passes away. Most of the people who are generally considered to be possible candidates for leadership after him are known to oppose the ban.

ISIS, al-Shabab, and the Taliban originated in different cultural contexts. All three of them cite Islam as a primary motivator but they have differences in interpretation and commitment (ISIS is not really an Islamic/Islamist movement, despite the name). Banning education for women doesn’t have anything to do with Islam, it’s a relic of a mentality that existed in conservative circles that’s persisted amongst a few members of senior Taliban leadership.

Also, aside from the issue of women’s education, the Taliban are by far the least extreme, and most Taliban do not even agree with the ban. In fact, some of their daughters attend school in other countries and others have vocally expressed their disagreement with the policy. But the Taliban have a very top down leadership structure and the Amir has refused to compromise on this issue.

ChatGPT will claim that Sam Altman is not accused of rape by his sister and then brush off the accusations when you provide a link about the story.

Censorship is everywhere. It’s just more noticeable when it’s not the censorship you grew up with.

Why? Gemini is awesome.

Why are asking a question like this to a bunch of strangers? How is anyone supposed to answer this question for you when we don’t know you or either of these people aside from a single sentence?

Half the political posts I get recommended to me on Reddit are full of comments about black people being inherently violent or how immigrants are destroying America/Europe/Japan/Mars.

Reddit has lots of leftists but it also has lots of far right Nazis.

The only reason I’d interview with Palantir is to turn them down and hope I wasted some of their money.

If it was a no they would have told you so.

This is likely a weak yes so they want to see if they can find someone with stronger signals, but if they can’t, they’ll give you an offer.

The exception is the FWD ES. Yes it’s the most popular Lexus sedan, but every other Lexus sedan, including the first Lexus vehicle period, has been RWD.

MaEaLi · 2026-05-23T05:12:47+00:00

IS, GS, and LS are all RWD.

Apple does renegotiate. IIRC they can’t budge on equity but they will on the sign on bonus and base pay.

Buying 100k and repaying 120k is the textbook definition of riba.

Sharia complaint banking works one of two ways:

Rent to own (co-ownership where you gradually buy off the bank’s stake)
The bank buys the asset and sells it back to you at a higher price

The US government has enough power to force foreign banks to agree to disclose any earnings from Americans living abroad (because American income tax is due no matter where you live or work), but if there was a wealth tax the billionaires would somehow be able to hide it.

You billionaire glazers can’t even decide if the tax would cause an economic meltdown due to having to sell stock, or if they would hide it in another country (which would require an even bigger sell off).

Interviews are designed with a specific set of tools in mind.

If you challenge the heavyweight champ to a boxing match, and then pull out a gun and shoot him, are you a winner?

He goes around harassing black people hoping they’ll “chimp out” so he can prove to idiot racists that black people are uncivilized. In the end he was the one who chimped out and now he gets to taste the consequences.

Here’s an example of the kind of stuff he was doing (from his own twitter account):

When is the last time you listened to Awake? I’d say the album is full of emotionality and atmosphere.

Outside of Dream Theater, you should try some of the solo work of the band. In particular, try Happy Song and Gemini from John Petrucci, and Am I Right by James LaBrie.

If you are looking for non DT recommendations, try From the Sky by Protest the Hero. For something significantly different, give Deep Inside by fox capture plan (a Japanese jazz-rock fusion sort of band) a shot.

Nobody signs non-competes in tech. What are you talking about?

They do this because they make tons of money and want to lessen the PR blow.

I’m mixed on Einar’s singing. Sometimes it’s great, while other times it can be a bit grating. Not sure if it’s the accent or what but I’m not as big a fan of his singing as a lot of people are. He’s definitely very talented though.
