Because I started investing in it. It naturally has to drop in price.

Pedophiles circling a school hoping to kidnap children, and the sky is blue. More at 11.

Joke’s on you. EGS doesn’t support gaming on Linux and the Linux version of UnrealEngine is royally FUBAR so there is no reason to download it.

It would be stupid to ignore the negatives just to chase a perceived positive. The guy made a lot of valid points for not wanting to join. Once the collective has proven it can do what it set out to do without the downsides then maybe they will reevaluate joining.

Unlike something that is made to solve a problem, AI is a poor solution looking for problems. It will never be useful unless there is a problem it actually solves, and the problems it does solve are all anti-worker and pro-capitalist. AI does not make anyone’s lives better.

My incredibly naive view on this is that with the first born the parents are full of energy and try their best to discipline (assuming the parents are not already dysfunctional human beings). When the next children come along they get progressively more tired and lax, or straight up angry and impatient. The younger kids then pick up these undesirable traits from their parents.

On the other end of the spectrum we have oldest siblings with some behavioral issues and the younger ones are like “nope, not gonna become like that myself”. I don’t feel like this group has the same controls as the other group from a study perspective.

Parents who maintain discipline with their kids through multiple kids are pretty rare and they are the unsung heroes of a civilization.

I have no sources on this except that it is this way in my family and the families of my parents friends.

Added the recipe as a response to my original message.

Added the recipe as a reply to my original message.

For those that wanted the recipe:

• 1 onion, chopped into half inch strips
• 3 celery sticks, diced
• one pack of baby bella mushrooms
• one parsnip, finely diced
• two zucchini, cut into small cubes
• 4-5 large red potatoes, cubed with skin on
• 1 pound of carrots, cut into chips, or one pound of baby carrots
• 1 can of light red kidney beans, drained and washed
• 1 can fire roasted tomatoes
• 4 cups of veggie broth
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional)
• 1 can of tomato paste (optional)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
• 3/4 teaspoon of dried garlic

1. In a large pot on medium high heat, add olive oil, onions, celery, mushrooms. Saute until softened.

2. Pour in veggie broth, lemon juice, and spices. Mix well.

3. Pour in the rest of the veggies and kidney beans. Mix well.

4. Pour in fire roasted tomatoes on top. DO NOT MIX, and do not dispose of the can.

5. Fill the can from the fire roasted tomatoes with water and pour into pot. Do not stir.

6. Cover the pot with a lid, lower heat to medium, and simmer for between 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Optional - add in tomato paste and stir well.

8. Add additional spices or salt to taste.

9. Serve with noodles. I prefer those small middle rings.

I wouldn’t define that as being screwed, but they certainly are disadvantages. Fixed rates can work in your favor under certain scenarios like how the government is currently reducing bond rates which causes everyone else to lower their APY. Fixed rates mean you aren’t affected when the government decides to pay less.

If you are really looking to avoid devaluation of your portfolio then you can switch to purchasing valuable minerals like gold and silver (or the ETFs that track them), or you can invest in insured CDs. These won’t give you the big payout like stocks would, but they will never lose you money.

Just recently I sold off a lot of poor performing stocks and stocks of companies investing in AI and bought some gold and silver stocks as well as some CDs. I am not expecting to win with these - I just want to survive the inevitable market crash.

Obligatory warning, I am not a financial analyst and I will not be responsible for how you invest your money.

I don’t trust health advice from a man that looks like a plastic tomato.

I’m no vegan or vegetarian, but I’ve been eating way less meat and more veggies lately since I found a really delicious veggie stew recipe. I’ve made it weekly for meal prep almost 4 weeks in a row now. There are many days recently where I go without eating meat at all. I just got some blood work back from my yearly physical and I had too much protein in my blood.

I actually get more protein from the veggie stew than I was getting with my old diet.

We would have been out of debt decades ago if our politicians had any accountability. We have been electing geriatric man-children with no accountability instead. We deserve to have our credit card taken away since it is consistently being used irresponsibly by those who want to clean out the owners bank account.

I get vibes of “the king requests an audience so you need to travel 20 days to get to the capital” vibes. You need to waste 41-50 days of your life because your manager wants to talk to you face to face for a few minutes.

FYI this is very real social engineering that criminals use. These stickers seem harmless at first but can be pretty dangerous.

Power hungry people are more likely to apply for positions of power. People become politicians because they want to assert power over other people. You don’t become a politician if you don’t want change.

People with money are greedy by definition and will do their damnedest to keep it.

No. Monopolies that are monopolies because they offer a superior product that others don’t offer absolutely deserve their success. Monopolies that are monopolies because they hold others back absolutely should be broken up. The difference is in why they are a monopoly.

There are certain nuances when a company is too big to compete with - things like YouTube where video hosting is hella expensive. That is a grey area that I do not have an educated opinion on.

If he sued for that then there would be a discovery phase. He wants to avoid that at all costs.

Just a friendly reminder that resisting arrest is not a reason to arrest somebody. That charge comes second, not first, and if that is the first charge then the police deserve any and all harm that befall them.

Citizens should legally be able to defend themselves with violence if they are being arrested or assaulted for resisting arrest.
