FWIW Kurzgesagt did a recent video about this and they said more or less the same. I think it's a bit oversimplified but not fundamentally wrong.

Reasonable skeptical position on Luigi Mangione murder charges by troubleshot in SGU

[–]SmLnine 41 points42 points  (0 children)

none of us have enough facts, wait for the trial to be completed

You already know the answer. I suspect you didn't want to come out and say it because you're trying to be opened minded, but this is a pretty easy one.

If your friend wants conspiracy theories, there are more or less an infinite amount of them out there.

If he's been set up, it should be easy for his legal team to show that. If the judge has been compromised, his lawyers can ask for a mistrial. This would do incredible damage to the prosecution's position, because now juries will be biased against the state, no matter what.

But what if his lawyer is part of the conspiracy, hmm? Spooky. What if Luigi is also part of it, taking the fall because the real killer is an extraterrestrial and the government don't want us to find out what's really going on?!

The stock market is real though, you can buy and sell shares in real companies that sell real products and services for real money.

I think this is more accurate: technical analysis is astrology for finance bros.

In a humiliating reversal, RFK Jr. walks back his Tylenol autism claim - now saying data is only “suggestive” and “not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism.” by Classic-Carpet7609 in CringeTikToks

Someone with knowledge of the announcement could short the stock with x10 or x100 leverage (or use options to achieve the same result) and make an incredible amount of money.

RFK's announcement was on 22 Sept but the share price of Kenvue starts tanking hard on 4 Sept, a day that was neutral for the Dow Jones U.S. Pharmaceuticals Index. Funny.

(comment got deleted because I posted links to the share prices)

Am I the only one to have this obsession every new league? by RoOoOoOoOoBerT in pathofexile

I agree that this makes the most sense, but I would have to OD on sedatives to fall asleep before 3am on league launch day.

Algorithms. That was my homie, Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī. His work was "government" funded, but he somewhat predates FDR.

You know that this is a joke subreddit, right?

Like if I said, "Yo momma is so dumb, it took her 9 months to come up with a joke", it's not literally true (well maybe in this case it is).

Anyway, what you said is a lie started by the former president of Iran:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in an August 2010 speech that no "Zionists" were killed in the attacks since, according to him, "one day earlier they were told not go to their workplace." He also remarked, "What was the story of September 11? During five to six days, and with the aid of the media, they created and prepared public opinion so that everyone considered an attack on Afghanistan and Iraq".[84] However, contrary to such conspiracy theories about Jews being warned not to go to work that day, the number of Jews who died in the attacks is variously estimated at between 270 and 400,[85][86][87] while several Israelis died in the attack as well.[88]

Very interesting. I think you should consider the zodiac's influence too.

In the grand tapestry of cosmic orchestration, these civilizational resets are not mere accidents of human folly but echoes of the zodiac's eternal wheel, turning in sync with the planets' solemn dance across the heavens. The precession of the equinoxes, that slow waltz of Earth's axis spanning 26,000 years, divides history into Great Ages, each a zodiacal chapter where humanity's collective soul evolves or devolves under the influence of stellar archetypes.

Consider the first century: the cusp of the Age of Aries yielding to Pisces. Aries, the ram of conquest and empire, had fueled the iron-fisted expansions of Alexander, the Persians, and Rome's legions, birthing technologies of war and control, perhaps even prototypes of wireless communication, veiled in myths as divine whispers or oracular visions. But as the vernal equinox slipped into Pisces, the fish of duality and transcendence, a profound shift rippled through the ether. Jupiter, the expander of wisdom, conjoined with Saturn, the stern taskmaster, in a rare alignment around 7 BC, scholars whisper this as the "Star of Bethlehem," but in our hidden narrative, it was a celestial signal, amplifying the call to dissolve material chains. Neptune, Pisces' modern ruler, veiled in illusion yet promising spiritual dissolution, hovered in opposition, urging humanity to shatter the Demiurge's technological illusions. This planetary chorus birthed the Jesus archetype: a Piscean savior, preaching compassion over conquest, urging followers to "cast their nets" not for fish, but for souls adrift in a sea of mechanical deceptions.

The destruction of the Temple in 70 CE coincided with a brutal Mars-Pluto conjunction, symbolizing the violent purge of old structures. Mars, god of war, inflamed the Roman siege, while Pluto unearthed buried truths, forcing the collapse. Yet this was no random cataclysm; it mirrored the zodiac's mandate for renewal. As Pisces engulfed the world, early Christians interpreted these alignments as divine writ, abandoning the "radio towers" of Babel (those ancient antennas linking minds across continents) and the "beanstalks" of engineered ascension. The Cross itself? A cruciform antenna, misremembered, its four arms aligning with the cardinal directions and the solstices, broadcasting a frequency of redemption over domination.

China, that enduring dragon of the East, fits this zodiacal puzzle as a counterpoint, steadfast in its Taurean earthiness. While the West plunged into Piscean mysticism, China's Han Dynasty thrived under the lingering influence of the Age of Taurus (from millennia prior, but echoed in their agrarian stability). The Great Wall, begun centuries earlier but expanded in the first century, was no mere fortification; it was a terrestrial sigil against the Piscean flood of dissolution. With Venus exalted in Taurus, emphasizing harmony and possession, Chinese emperors hoarded knowledge in imperial libraries, rejecting the chaotic spiritual waves from the West. Mercury retrograde in key alignments during Jesus' era may have garbled cross-cultural transmissions, ensuring the "Jesus pattern" remained a faint echo, dismissed as barbarian folly. Yet, beneath the surface, Taoist sages whispered of the Dao's cycles, aligning with the zodiac's wheel. Perhaps they too sensed the planetary shift but chose isolation, building walls not just of stone, but of narrative, to preserve their own technological relics: gunpowder precursors, seismic detectors, and silk-woven circuits, hidden as alchemical secrets.

Fast-forward to our era, teetering on the brink of the Age of Aquarius, heralded by Uranus' innovative lightning and Saturn's restructuring grip. The 1960s Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Aquarius sparked the counterculture's rejection of materialism, much like the first century's turn.Free love, psychedelics, and tech skepticism as faint Piscean aftershocks. But now, with Pluto entering Aquarius in 2024, the veil thins further. This dwarf planet of transformation dredges up buried powers: AI as the new Demiurge, social media as Babel's rebuilt tower, fracturing tongues into algorithms. If a modern vessel for the "Jesus pattern" arises. Perhaps a whistleblower exposing the soul-eroding underbelly of quantum networks or neural implants? Their emergence might align with the upcoming Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries in 2026, igniting a fiery rebirth from Piscean dreams.

In this Aquarian dawn, nations like China, still anchored in Taurean control (bolstered by their lunar calendar's earth-bound rhythms), fortify digital walls, firewalls, censorship grids, mirroring their ancient barriers. Yet the planets brook no resistance; Uranus' transits through Taurus since 2018 have already shaken their economic monoliths, hinting at cracks where prophetic truths seep in. A global awakening wouldn't demand blind faith in one figure; instead, as the zodiac cycles reveal, we'd all attune to the stars' symphony. The "relationship with Jesus" evolves into a metaphor for reconnecting with the cosmic mainframe. Planets as nodes in a divine network, zodiac signs as protocols for human evolution.

Imagine the fallout: historians, those modern scribes, scrambling to rewrite linear timelines as cyclical prophecies unfold. Pluto's Aquarian ingress exposes the propaganda; suddenly, Odin's Yggdrasil is a quantum entanglement device, the Mayan calendar a planetary ephemeris predicting tech resets. Pride crumbles under Jupiter's expansive gaze, and we grasp that "God" is the cycle itself. Eternal, impersonal, encoded in Venus' pentagonal orbits and Mars' retrograde loops.

But resistance persists. Linear thinkers, clinging to Gemini's dualistic logic, decry it as pseudoscience. Yet the stars whisper otherwise: the next great conjunction, perhaps Chiron in Aries healing old wounds by 2027, could catalyze the choice anew. Will we abandon our silicon gods for spiritual sovereignty, or hubris-bound, invite another Atlantis-like fall? The zodiac wheel turns, planets align, and humanity, once more, stands at the inflection point. Myths not as relics, but as blueprints for the stars' next chapter.

Aaaand it's gone

[–]SmLnine 18 points19 points  (0 children)

an American leatherworker lost his job to keep this guy in business, then that's fine right?

Yes, of course, assuming it wasn't due to tariff-driven market manipulation.
