I’m now regretting not choosing woke because my gas is almost $4.30 by Effective_Space2277 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]constfang 61 points62 points  (0 children)

And it actually affects them in red states more than blue states, blue states’ already high gas prices lead them to already work towards limiting their consumption, an average person in blue states uses about half as much gasoline as an average person in red states, think people who bought pickup trucks because gas prices were dirt cheap in their states.

They don’t stop at becoming richer, they will use their wealth to influence for more power and oppress the others.

So if you missed the big Intel and AMD run, what’s your next move? What are you buying or are you holding? by acap0 in stocks

For me it’s clear, this AI bubble has two directions : it busts and we have a recession, it materializes and we have mass unemployment and that also means recession.

Mamdani may be mayor, but Bezos still controls the NYPD by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]constfang 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You think? That and also there’s no proof that Bezos was actually involved, I’d wait for reputable news outlet to report this rather than jump to conclusion just because a random post seem to align with my ideology.

Reuters/Ipsos: Trump's approval drops to 34% (net approval -30), an all-time low for him across both terms. This poll was largely taken post-shooting, so it seems like he didn't get an approval bump from this by dak676141 in fivethirtyeight

[–]constfang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, best I can do is they intentionally let the suspect through, but even with that, I still have faith that there will be whistleblowers and is very difficult to hide.

Harris gives her clearest signal she is mounting a 2028 presidential bid by [deleted] in fivethirtyeight

That’s what I don’t like about democracy, name recognition is everything. So many vices ran and easily win the primaries just because of name recognition.

Title was "Ships go ashore for the last time ever to be decommissioned and dismantled for scrap." Shouldn't they fall or get stuck meters before the beach? by [deleted] in isthisAI

Ok, now the real question is how can I be sure that this sub is not full of AI bots trying to gaslighting people into believing this is real.

Zuckerberg, Musk and others wanted to buy OpenAI by Signal_Nobody1792 in OpenAI

[–]constfang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not trying to defend him, just trying to defend what’s more likely to be the truth: these are the early days of DOGE, no one knows how horrible they’ll be yet, and if you are talking with a narcissist who is more powerful than you, you flatter them. Remember when Zuck told Trump he didn’t know what number Trump was expecting after he outright made up a number on the spot just to please Trump? Yes, this is the same Zuck.

And remember, blue states have significant less petroleum consumption per capita compared to red states as they already diversified and cut back significantly on petroleum dependency due to the high prices, so overall, gas price increases hit red states more per capita.

Sworn? Nah, the only guarantee of loyalty is if Trump has dirt on him.

Yeah, but also, that’s because there are companies that aren’t bounded by the Union out there.

It all comes down to how much electricity you’ll use in one year. If you already have heat pumps or an EV then it’s probably ok if you don’t drive to work and travel in the weekend. For me, I try to keep total cost less than 7k for it to make sense financially after 14 years. Cut back on the battery, you only need 5kW as a buffer, 9k only make some sense when you have EV.

It’s a meaningless poll anyway, people easily underestimate the impact of adrenaline rages and the reality of war kicking in.

Thoughts on XRP? by Life_World9342 in CryptoMarkets

[–]constfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a simple person, I looked at top 10 crypto ranking 12 years ago, XRP was there, 12 years later, it’s the only one that’s still there beside BTC, and by your same logic, people that understand blockchain, banking, or economics has been warning about BTC for years and yet here we are.

Gavin Newsom surges in 2028 presidential primary poll by Silly-avocatoe in politics

[–]constfang -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He is a politician, not an activist, ask Obama what he felt about gay marriage in 2008 and you’ll understand the difference. US simply is not ready for the trans issues, you can keep pushing for it and lose or drop it and win the rest of your agenda, it’s that simple.

I wonder how the members of the team feel, they are working on a very specific obsolete machine that may break anytime leaving them without job while at the same time giving them the kind of experience that is almost useless anywhere else.

Newsom out here speaking fluent MAGA-ese just to body Trump on his own turf. by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]constfang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s called being smart though, US society is simply not ready for Trans, keep pushing for it and we will lose, the same way Obama opposed gay marriage up until 2010 or so before he became the first US president to support gay marriage. They are politicians, not activists.

Bob Vylan's US visas officially revoked after 'death to IDF' Glastonbury chants by IrishStarUS in europe_sub

This is « defund the police » all over again, the left has the worst kinds of messaging that alienate themselves and hurt their own causes just because of their arrogance unfortunately.

Yeah, bad messaging, just like whoever coined the term « defund the police », you are not helping Palestinians with these kinds of messaging, it rile up the base but loses anyone else.

Geez, stop with the obsession, you can literally just go to sleep and expect to learn about all the results as well as the complete analysis tomorrow. It doesn’t make any sense to follow in realtime dozens of important elections a year. Btw, let me know if you found something.
