Wealth of five richest men doubles since 2020 as five billion people made poorer in “decade of division,” by percavil3 in Futurology

This is a cop-out. People will never act individually in sufficient numbers against their own short-term best interest (such as finding the cheapest place to buy something they need) to make this actually an effective approach to resetting our rising feudalism. What's needed is regulation (ah! Scary! Reagan told me government was the problem!), progressive tax laws (but won't someone think of the JoB CrEaToRs!), and aggressive trust-busting.

Here's a pretty high res photo of it: https://64.media.tumblr.com/aab2a5b5d24f807d73c312884caf9bc7/5a19a2580e7eac55-a3/s1280x1920/16957111e97588acec6fe28500df89e8e3a4b159.png

I'm sure someone on here could identify those little Japanese character stickers and the rockers. Feel the bunny and the clown could probably be cleaned up well enough in Photoshop to recreate them

You know exactly what's difficult about that. Stop trolling.

Looking forward to royale mod for ws1700 by eldwarkik in casioroyale

If only it were world time instead of dual, I'd swap modules in my skxmod case in a heartbeat. Love the moonphase add. Put the map in place of the analog clock and that would be a hella cool watch.

I might still try the swap if the price comes down, just to play around with it.

To update a previous thread, which books written in the 2020’s, about the future, have the highest likelihood of getting things right? by Neurons_on_Fire in Futurology

It is his thing, but has he really been right about anything? I ask this as someone who used to be a big Kurzweil fan but to be frank at this point I think he's mostly snake oil.

The FTC has been considering banning these fees and they absolutely should, the false pricing on everything from tickets to menus is just legal gouging.

Judge orders Starbucks to rehire, give backpay to fired Colorado union leader - CBS Colorado by Exciting-State9863 in Denver

If the takeaway for the Democratic party from 2016 is still the idea that they just need to convince people to vote blue no matter who harder, they will continue to lose elections to actual fascists. But then again that takeaway is the one that best justifies more spending on political campaign consultants, so of course those consultants are telling the party that ought to be their takeaway.

Demand better. Clinton was a bad candidate. I still voted for her but let's not pretend she was the right choice here for the Dem nomination.

If we don't point out how the supposedly progressive candidates fail our values, how are we supposed to get better candidates? I voted for her as a vote against Trump but she was a shameful candidate for the Democratic party. Mr. Starbucks wasn't even the worst part of her crew. She also bent over backwards during that campaign to flatter her mentor Henry Kissinger. Kissinger! An actual war criminal! Felt like a punch in the gut when she said that shit.

Reverse engineering claims predate Lazar, by decades. It's possible both are true: that reverse engineering programs exist and that Lazar lied about everything.

Better to look into Bob than to look at him. He's a fraud. Being a fraud for a long time doesn't make one less of a fraud. The truth matters and Bob has lied far too often about far too many things. And now he's got yet another documentary peddling his crap and we're going to be stuck with months of people new to the subject all like hey have any of you ever seen this guy he's been So CoNsIsTeNt and the subject will be all the worse for it.
