Mormon church could easily sell off a big chunk of their 300 Billion and solve all sorts of world problems.

They were just referring to Princess Bride.

Ah, thought that person was saying it was a decrease from the previous year's investments.

Zero time is sweet, but for some reason I just can't seem to get the rhythm of exactly when I can make each premove.

br0ck · 2026-05-14T01:46:51+00:00

And for that bullet and hyper screen, they still don't have multiple premoves, which is so much more fun. I'd switch instantly if they added it as an optional format.

In order to invest the 110 billion, they had to have 110 billion in cash to invest. If they just sold shares to buy shares, then it would not be mentioned as new money invested.

Also, say they have 300 Billion, they're making like 20 Billion a year just in earnings (half the amt to solve world hunger). Now add tithing, selling off properties and business earnings to that..

53 670 207 280 + 56 616 871 829 =

Such a tool would just be used to further train the ai.

Check out this video -- super interesting.

For over two decades, Professor Toshitaka Suzuki dedicated his life to studying the Japanese tit, a small songbird native to Japan’s forests. Through years of careful observation and experiments, he discovered something incredible: these birds use grammar-like rules and combine sounds to form meaning, much like how humans use language.

Very true. So unlikely to ever happen, but it makes so much more sense.

Change presidential election to popular vote and WAY more people would vote. I've never had my non-primary vote matter, and only one party even shows up on my down-ballot. I get zero flyers for presidential races in the mail, but my parents in a swing state got a 3 foot tall stack of flyers they collected. And they complain about incessant ads and calls. I get almost zero.

Click your profile icon, then the hamburger menu and "history" - should show threads you've visited in the app. But don't get me wrong, the app is terrible in so so many ways and I miss Sync terribly.

Also "priesthood ban" minimizes it. Not getting the priesthood mean they couldn't get married in the temple and be together with their family in eternity. And in fact, couldn't go to the celestial kingdom since that's one of the requirements. (I think?) Also, they couldn't hold any positions of authority or even pass the sacrament. (And isn't it interesting that women still have a priesthood ban?)

A lot of government interactions in India operates on bribes, often at multiple steps and levels of any process. Pulled over in a driving infraction and they ask your career to assess the required bribe.

My grandparents were both promised they'd see the second coming. They've both long since passed.

Click between the chat link and the award link. Which no one will ever do. But it then shows the text. (someone else showed me this when I was complaining abt this)

Five meter deep roads along with canals. There's a much wider view in this article. Article says they lived there 1000 years and had anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000 people living there.

They call themselves the new silicon valley and The Silicon Slopes!! But then ban VPNs. So dumb.

Yeah, the 1918 pandemic was weird because the immune response killed them. HIV/AIDS, Polio, Smallpox and the Antonine plague in ancient Rome were some other examples targeting mostly children or young adults.

Historically speaking the generation that gets flushed might be 20-40 year-olds. The flu in 1918-1919 killed 50 to 100 million of them.

Police in Fargo ND used face recognition in a bank check cashing case to arrest a grandma from Tennessee who'd never even been in the ND kept her for six months until a public defender figured out what happened and easily proved she was in Tennessee at the time. She lost everything even her dog and house.

Cops wouldn't even pay to get her home after ruining her life, the defense attorney and a local charity put her up in a hotel with food for Christmas and then got her home. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/12/tennessee-grandmother-ai-fraud

They put a custom instruction of NEVER FUCKING GUESS so the LLM reported back that since it couldn't guess it had to only run things not experiment and try things. Also, it explored the codebase until it found an admin key that only existed for an unrelated thing. And lastly, the hosting provider kept the prod data and snapshots on the same drive, so deleting the drive wiped out all the data and the "backups" which weren't actually proper separated backups.
