They have a lot more overhead than they did when they started. And one day of rising prices because of a new CEO and article doesn't make up for being down significantly over five years.

The insane demand for electricity as we build unregulated data centers to meet an AI demand funded by investment and not realized by consumers is about to collise with the spike in oil costs created by a war nobody asked for in the Middle East and it's going to be bad.

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

A dark, moody background of reddish-brown leaves fills the image. Centered over it is a rounded black text box with white lettering that reads: β€œThe male equivalent to a woman reading a romance novel isn’t porn, it’s a man reading a romance novel” followed by a man-raising-hand emoji. In the lower right corner is the handle β€œ@p.a.b.phd.”

A kit is $5 and usually has 21 to 25 items. None of these look that big.

I'm done buying their stuff. I own every single piece of content until SpongeBob and I am not giving them another dime. I was waiting to see if the Saudi deal fell through, but this was the nail.

Hmmm. So I wonder if Katarina made the prediction as a coincidence or if she foretold it because it was Monday.

If y'all are drawing any kind of line between military and ICE, stop. Who do you think bombed those little girls in Iran? Who do you think is carrying out this war?

A nightmare creature in Animal Crossing. Her bandana looks smaller than her head, which gives her a look like her face is a mask. Her snout is long and her eyes are maybe four point stars but they look like the X eyes of a dead cartoon doll. She doesn't quite vibe with the rest of the character art. She doesn't feel elderly, just out of place.

So it seems like if you get this dialogue and you have the hospital unlocked, you need to go look for her because that was nine grand just for popping in there.

... She foretold it with a vision of a granddaughter and grandmother who are working with turnips. We all know who this is.

Well after that I stopped off at the island resort and went into my hospital, and Grandma was there and gave me 30 turnips which I then turned around and sold for $300 a pop.

So I made an interesting animal crossing discovery that I haven't seen anybody writing about. I'm sure others have found it before because this expansion has been out for years:

This pertains to Katarina and the ep. Yesterday I got a day where she predicted luck with money, but specifically...

COVID is not β€œjust a cold.” Even mild or asymptomatic infections can cause lasting health effects, damaging blood vessels and organs, affecting the brain, and weakening the immune system.

Yep. For instance when we write off bad behaviors from men as boys will be boys, we discount their humanity and their responsibility for behaving like a human being with empathy.

Weird that more than one person interprets β€œdon’t dehumanize” to mean β€œdon’t hold responsible” and β€œdon’t demand accountabilityβ€œ

Is dehumanization responsibility and accountability? Are there people who really believe that?
