Sinus infection passed on from my son on his second week of daycare. Only had that for about 48 hours. One day almost healthy… Then bam infection in both fucking ears.

Got an ear infection for the first time in like 25 years and it is fucking terrible.

It seems like a PVC hydroponic set up would be easier to transport under the circumstances

It’s become trendy for the 1% to have 3+ kids again. Like rich women hit 35 and then have 4 kids over the next 8 years. Now that the average person can’t afford kids, they’ve become a status symbol.

Sometimes I wonder if there is an inflection point where the personal data becomes overwhelming to the point of useless too.

Like, if I want everybody who has looked up an adjacent product or related product and has the disposable income to purchase my product. Well, how many people is that and how many of those people are high volume Internet users who google whatever thought comes into their head, and how many of those people are fortified behind layers of spam filters or the natural filter of advertisment fatigue?

I assume the idea these people are jerking themselves off to is that they can get really sophicated predictive profiles of people, and this will somehow be monetizable. But I just don’t see it. Tik tok seems to be the best in the biz and it appears to be a slightly more elaborate version of “people who looked at these things you looked at also looked at these things, I bet you’d like to look at this too”

Our company hires a decent amount of tech subcontractors from there. They make like 30/hr vs 100/hr, they avail themselves as much as cucked Americans and speak English with American accents better than global south hires.

There seems to be this weird perception there that every American firm is desperate for their genius or some such. My guess is when Europe is further vassalized and people there get into cucked American mode a lot more remote work will get passed there. The time difference is better and I think it’ll take longer for mainland Europe to privatize healthcare and pass that cost to employers.

Yeah, that’s what I mean. Like, what’s OPs problem with normies? Join a fantasy football league or some shit.

I was peeping a lot with a fresh spring for like 30k and thinking about putting a trailer on it.

Why is that something that needs to be dealt with?

Better than a gerbil, those shits are meaner than geese

Probably brain drain too. I wouldn’t be shocked if the 20% of Israelis with more than one passport are responsible for like 80% of GDP

Her age is confusing. She looks a bit too young to be the grandma but a bit too old to be the mom

I wonder if the insurance costs have skyrocketed

Thanks

If you could please provide me with like 30 minutes of reading to get the gist of clauswitz I will read it.

You think that maybe there is this grift where oligarchs are being sold on AI that will somehow solve all the problems that go along with having peasants but it’s all a scam that’s coincidentally imbued them with the false confidence that there will never be any pushback.

Like they ask it how to best extract resources or suppress dissent but they never bothered to give it the “your subjects will revolt eventually” or “there are other powerful people who are competing with you” patch.

Which is, essentially what the problem has always been but they can’t even be bothered to do their own failing.

Oceania was at war with Eurasia. Therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.

Time lapse map of the Middle East. I’m a spatial person so this is one of the easiest ways for me to understand history.

The area from Tehran through Beruit has been one contiguous empire for most of the last 3000 years.

The US inherited a Balkanized Middle East and West Asia and most of its geopolitical strategy is about maintaining that status quo. Even in the absence of fossil fuels this place would be a world power if left alone due to it’s location along trade routes and the natural defensibility of much of it.

The notion of an independent cohesive Israel spanning any real space and time is an ahistorical and compensatory fantasy. Ethnorelgions were a primitive concept even in the time of King David. When you are required to ethnically cleanse every place you conquer and maintain higher birth rates in order to occupy that space your success is bound to be limited and temporary. A small blip allowed by the Bronze Age collapse and little more than that.

Even when their English is good, it’s like they don’t speak “human”
