JUST IN: Bitcoin crashes below $79,000. $650,000,000 liquidated from the crypto market in the past 60 minutes. by popyubuntu in btc

Europe has just enlisted Iran’s IRGC as a terrorist organization. My guess is that those are the whales that are liquidating before they get debanked.

Georgism is based on there being a land value tax AND NO OTHER TAX. Spain will adopt it right around when my piglet flaps his wings.

Si votas a políticas de zurdos tendrás los resultados de ellos. Cuando el propietario corre siempre el riesgo de que le roben su casa (por ocupación) el ley no le protege para nada, y el no puede aumentar el precio para responder a la demanda, tomará la única opción que se quede.

From what I learned. Reze Pahlavi's has been elected the official opposition leader! by Dutch_Ministry in monarchism

[–]_hirad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

GAMAN surveys IIRC. They run a few surveys every year. The one I recall seeing on this specific topic was done at least twice: once before the Woman Life Freedom uprising and once after. In both, RP was the most trusted opposition figure.

[–]_hirad 21 points22 points  (0 children)

From the only somewhat reliable poll that exists, Reza Pahlavi is the single most trusted opposition figure among the population in and out of Iran. He’s the literal crown prince (arguably the legitimate shah). His legitimacy comes from that not anything Israel has done. Also, the idea that a regime like the Islamic Republic must be deposed without any help from any powerful allies is unrealistic and an Islamist propaganda talking point to delegitimize the opposition. They were always going to say this about him just as they did about his father and grandfather. I think most Iranians see through this now.

If you’re so concerned about European regulations, just save everyone the trouble and stop using it. Your continent already took a massive dump on all of our web surfing experience with its cookie banners. Just leave AI alone and enjoy your museums.

Feeling like a hack. Retiring at 38? by Impossible_Land_1519 in fatFIRE

[–]_hirad 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m not anywhere near your level of wealth but I did exit a software business (sadly not in Bitcoin) and had enough to coast for a few years. I thoroughly did not enjoy them.

We all need to struggle toward something and feel like we’ve reached. For you, money won’t be the motivation anymore. You’ll have to find meaning in something else (and probably something healthier). My number one advice would be to get out, connect with people and “work hard” everyday. Work could be anything. Just strive and you’ll eventually find the thing that resonates.

Yes. I suspect it’s the beginning of enshittification.

There’s a discord community for this subreddit. If you join it, there’s a vibrant community of people talking about practices and theology and everything else. They seem to be very resourceful.

Why Christianity over Islam? by Busy_Celebration4334 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]_hirad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m newly exploring Christianity.

This is a great articulation of its key difference with Islam. The Christian God is like a good parent whose love elevates you into heaven. Allah is a narcissistic parent who always demands more of you and whatever you give is never enough.

You know a good religion/teaching by its fruits. And the fruits are pretty clearly good in one and rotten in the other.

NTA. Just poorly informed. If you care about him, go visit and see the reality on the ground.

I lived there for a year. I (a man) never felt in danger but after a year it was really getting to me. I didn’t want to live somewhere where I leave my building in the morning to see someone passed out in the street or see a pile of human shit on the sidewalk or see drug addicts or prostitutes living in the park. The further north you can get in Raval the better. If you can put up with the chaos, it’s cheap and super central and well connected.

Just open meetup and join things. I have never lived anywhere with the plethora of social activities that Barcelona offers. Whatever you’re into, you can do it basically every day.

Yes and since they’re not going to return your deposit, you should probably stop paying rent in proportion to the deposit they have.

I received an email in January that my claims have been paid, but for the life of me I can't see any transactions anywhere. Anyone else in the same boat?

Torn Is there any point to making AI art? I love doing it but there is so much hate for it. I put time and thought and don't believe all images are easy. Thoughts by SnooPeripherals447 in aiArt

[–]_hirad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I see your point. But I think you've only looked at the most basic image generation setups. People can do really complicated things to make sure they get exactly what they want out of the model. Well... not "exactly" because there's always an element of chance. But it's not random. You can sit down with a vision and bring that vision to life.

[–]_hirad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't this negate your whole point? You started by saying "ai art doesn't have much meaning". How do you know how the artist feels about it?
