but (a) there is no small fish in ai, it's either software layer of 5 techbros over existing models, or giant internet companies, who, aside from oracle and maybe nvidia are not that exposed. (b) plus gobbling up data centers of gpus, which are on the 5-10 year amortization schedule and massive ongoing spending via electricity is a little different proposition from snatching 50% priced homes, which would exist for 50 years and don't require that much maintenance. basically the firesale has to be at 90% discount, not 40% to make any sense, and would be done if anything either by dod or gulf tyrants (who won't have money cause oil should also crash at crisis)

Seems very pisraeli to me (the only free democracy in the middle east, thus beyond reproach)
No, it’s two claims: before signal servers and on your isp provider side sits nsa sniffing device (likelihood 99%), which trivially can reconstruct social graph without specifically designed obfuscations on server side (something like nym, exactly, but for signal servers themselves, with random delays and obfuscatory traffic).
Second claim is all messages are encrypted doesn’t exclude possibility of keyboard input->app internals middleman backdoor, likelihood of it existing unknown (hi, nsa), with pegasus infection 100% at least.
Basically, you are fucked with state adversary, and shouldn’t use phone for anything not serving to appear normal, and while signal can provide necessary tools to message each other, you should assume it to be transparent and appearing in some court if things go wrong. (But crucially transparent to very advanced adversary, not bumblefuck from local police, so it’s not a call to rely on messages which are so trivial to intercept with sim card duplication for 1k-5k bucks, and unencrypted for traffic interception)
Just because of your rant windows will add a fourth settings menu, also with different design, it will blend award winning design of modern tile settings menu and registry editor power via ai commands changing registry keys from futuristic copilot enabled design
the real hustle grindset 
is there anything human about these influencers
nah, weird gravity and eternal darkness aside not supernatural as such (had a funny one where i opened my door into black hole (like stars and blackhole looming below the door) and i fell into it and things of that nature)
*(vague threats of something following do happen though, like dilapidated building with red splashes and noises behind, but i find them easier to reel in cause they are much less believable than my building collapsing or whatever), but i think i can vaguely remember this happening like 2-3 times, compared to falling down nightmares
amazing things are happening in the green fields
eru ilovatar would fucking love chat gpt
Imma be real, go to cuba and spend currency =\ while china should ship like 1 gw of solar and electric buses (cause internal transport situation is not great even now), piggies from usa should be wasting dollars there so that people can buy solar. (they have some local oil and gas production facilities, so in like 2-3 years this shit wouldn't hurt that much) or participate in appropriate donation drives. because internal production during covid dropped due to fuel shortages, so if this shit happens again, the situation would be even worse for people going to work on buses. while something like residential solar and electrobike would solve half the issues there, locals implied as much that some people doing residential solar from direct money from tourists/remittances in crypto, which cost in the realm of 4k-5k bucks, but they can't really afford to do it if they don't contact foreign currency (so working normal job). (so they can buy it if the money is there, china will happily ship bought stuff whatever the blockade, they just don't have money for it, + oil embargo is easily dodged cause it's not oil)
and tbh south africa should be ashamed (not them alone, but christ)
Well for one they didn’t have that many cars, for two - party functionaries (or student dipshits) compared to say tractor drivers are least likely to be exposed, yet it seemed they worked very diligently to get their own candle making factory, while people just wanted them to chill with alcohol ban and adjust the production priorities somewhat
But it wasn’t lack of interest, some collectives continued fighting in the 90s (I’m talking collective farms and strikes), and not just because of infernal conditions of 90s, but over the concept of privatization as such. The destruction was performed from the top, at first bumblingly unleashing private forces and then doing jack shit to kill them. At more involved level you can say intelligentsia did it for treats, but that’s not lead poisoning but lack of cultural revolution/second purges/integration into work force
There was that itty bitty 2008 crash, which was worse than dotcom on real economy, and then shit with healtcare getting worse, cause boomers are attached to the state, while rest of people isn’t.
Was pink tide also lead poisoning? Or black panthers? (You might have a point about amerikan adventurists like bla, i can make up 50 plans more plausible than whatever the fuck they were doing)
I do think environmental factors play underappreciated role in history, but those are bad harvests forcing mass migrations (see from pov of people “invading” rome), either by climate change or pest arrival, pandemics, solar/ice ages interplay, but those psychological stories of ooh everybody was drunk all the time in medieval era, or they all got lead poisoned into stupor are convenient individualism back door of history. Its easier to believe that american cruelty, optimism and lack of memory is something environmental rather than superstructural society producing same people over and over
