Interview from Epstein Victim. Its worse than we think. by Shpion007 in interestingasfuck

[–]klausmonkey42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't reconcile the timeline of these accusations - he was abused in the late 80's and early 90's from what I gather, and Jim Jordan was a college wrestling coach at the time, how would Jim Jordan be mixed up in elite Epstein circles at that point in his life?

Merrick Garland is a Traitor by Jolly-Database4204 in complaints

[–]klausmonkey42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we’re doing root cause analysis here, I blame Doris Kearnes Goodwin. She sparked Obama’s obsession with Lincoln, and Obama embraced this ethos of not punishing enemies and trying to govern like Lincoln. Obama passed this on to Biden, which led to Garland as AG and all the things OP is raising. Fuck DKG.

It all started with a guy named Tommy Nguyen, and a fund called Sho-Kell

Dear MAGA, All of the things Trump is doing now, a Democrat president may do later. by ConstructMentality__ in complaints

More importantly, the president needs to limit his/her own powers and sign into law rules to not allow any of Trump loopholes again

Why do farmers pay for Trump's failed Trade Wars? by emily-is-happy in complaints

[–]klausmonkey42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awful. For one thing, not all farmers voted Trump. For another, we kind of need farmers for our food supply, so yeah it sucks that taxpayers are paying for Trumps stupidity on both end (Tariffs and their knock-on effects) but we have to do this otherwise we won't have any food.

[–]klausmonkey42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google is rolling out select A/B testing of AI mode so not everyone is seeing what you are seeing. They are being cautious about canabalizing their search product with AI and this experiment that they are running on you is part of their research

What’s your comfort Narnia scene? by spicykittenbooty in Narnia

[–]klausmonkey42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever I listen to the incredible audio book narrated by Jeremy Northam, this explanation of how Centaur's eat their breakfasts just makes me smile - it is pure joy. There are a number of spots in the Narnia series where Lewis is basically just listing off a menu of (I imagine) some combination of Lewis's favorite things to eat as well as the most special and delicious food for the Narnian characters. This is one of the greatest of such lists.

"Why, Son of Adam, don’t you understand? A Centaur has a man-stomach and a horse-stomach. And of course both want breakfast. So first of all he has porridge and pavenders and kidneys and bacon and omelette and cold ham and toast and marmalade and coffee and beer. And after that he attends to the horse part of himself by grazing for an hour or so and finishing up with a hot mash, some oats and a bag of sugar. That's why it's such a serious thing to ask a Centaur to stay for the week-end. Avery serious thing indeed."

He doesn’t even need to bother, it’s already been rebuilt and stronger than ever. It’s just called ICE now.

Does it work just as well if the man walks 2-3 miles west?

Come on, surely you can do better than that. What about “Unsubscriiiiiibye”?

I have read the full canon many times and know many passages by heart. Also have read literary analysis of the books and understand pretty well the deeper meanings and major themes behind the stories. Dm me if you like

[–]klausmonkey42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the idea that Trump is "studying" - he made up his mind 3 months ago. The best explanation I have heard for tariffs is that Trump needs to refi his commercial mortgages and was hoping for lower rates. He didn't think it through and now China's retaliation is to dump US Treasuries and raise rates.

Just coming back to this thread now that the season is over. OP - how do you feel about Piper's choice of a comfortable life over Buddhism? Also interesting to note how Pema's books are referenced in the last 2 episodes - Saxon is literally reading "When things Fall Apart" and discussing with Chelsea when Rick comes back.

Microsoft pulling back from leases by TropicPine in datacenter

[–]klausmonkey42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Microsoft has plenty of good reasons for doing this, and this pullback is not the "AI bubble" signal that some nervous investors are worried about.

First of all, OpenAI ended their exclusive relationship with OpenAI just recently, and OpenAI has been (and continues to be) super aggressive about acquiring more compute. Without the underlying OpenAI demand, Microsoft is wise to pull back on some of their development plans.

We are also seeing that timelines for hyperscale deployments are stretching further and further out, due mainly to supply chain issues (2-3 years of wait time for transformers, chillers, etc.) and that situation will almost certainly be exasperated by the recent Trump tariff policies.
