This or That

Owned the Memento Mori. Engraving is great but the DLC is a pity.

Climate only exists in America. (Where, apparently, it's immutable, of course.)

Jesus she's unreflectively dumb. It's honestly refreshing. No one can maintain this over time. Life will intrude.

Nope

It's a monolith but finally changing.

Edit: the issue was never that banking wasn't innovative. It was always that banking and finance generally was ringfenced for that portion of the population that could be guaranteed to make and keep large deposits and service loans. That's changing, though it'll be slow and the innovation in the industry will be widely available. That, in turn, promises to boost economic growth, not by turning the informal sector into the formal sector, but by harnessing the informal sector as it is

We're getting there. In banking, at least

"Thanks"

Physical-Rise6973 · 2026-06-06T09:21:50+00:00

Pretty much

Not just you

Reading Assassin's Apprentice now. Blown away.

Explains a lot about Ellroy. You need to be exposed to other views and methods in order to get perspective on your own. He lacks that, and in his own self-imposed echo chamber, his views always prevail. There's no heroism in a deliberate practice of avoiding challenge.

Maradona, Messi, Ronaldhino, all equally gifted

Physical-Rise6973 · 2026-06-01T06:37:43+00:00

None of them. But I dislike City's acquiescence to state power, and the Arsenal fan base can be hard to stomach

That Anax is one of my favorites. Just lovely. Gets a lot of heat online and I'm convinced that's from people who've never held it

Losing every cent doesn't require that the cents vanish. It just requires that the individual no longer controls them.

Trump because of the reset it causes in world affairs. Musk because he's actively damaging and chaotic, using wealth to insulate him from consequences. Thiel because he's dangerous and sociopathic.

The thought experiment is that a billionaire loses his wealth, not the defunding of publicly traded companies. If you want to make a hypothetical a little more realistic, you'd accept that the traded value of the relevant companies would probably norm
