this is quite sad. The crowning glory of American civilization, now a piss-soaked, crumbling metropolis more famous for car break-ins than technological breakthroughs.
The successful normally have rich or influential family ties (Gates, Bezos etc), government or intelligence investment or support (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Palantir, SpaceX), are there to help with money laundering (Bored Apes, FTX, RobinHood) or fraud (FTX, Theranos, WeWork).
wait till you find out why they were so keen to spread the idea of America fighting against the Nazis in all those movies and shows;
it was so you didn't question who had established the Nazis from the very beginning, who had been funding them all the way to 1942 and beyond, who had secretly supported key Nazi evasion of post war justice, and the covert funding, establishment and maintenance of fascist and neo Nazis paramilitary groups and structures across Europe and the world ever since. the Military propaganda was the cover to keep Dulles and Bush and the rest of the Nazis in good public standing.
"fight". lol. san Francisco is unrivaled for its apathy, hubris and complete lack of social cohesion. It's not a fight. The city has no fight in it. Just homeless mental ill people, the last of the scared rich wishing they'd gone to Texas or Florida too, and a persistent smell of urine and faeces wherever you go...
all watching a few hours of Starfield gameplay made me do was take it off my wishlist, and buy Outer Wilds, Star Citizen, No Man's Sky and Elite Dangerous for the same price.
Printing measures go smaller than an inch.
The width of printed columns is measured in “picas.”
12 “points” equal one “pica”; 6 picas equal 1 inch.
We still use those in image resolution measurements.
yet 50km up in the jet stream, at earth surface pressure day and Mediterranean climate, the "day" to rotate around the planet is 21 hour on Venus. that's pretty Earth analogous in every way if we don't even try to land.
you're so close! you almost get it! yes, the same work should get the same compensation, but then how would the global system of currency devaluation to exploit labour and resources work? where would America get for cheap all the stuff it needs? how would it be cheap if everyone got paid what Americans get paid?
so boring. choose the war monger octogenarian who keeps soiling himself while stoking world war three. ignore everyone else or you'll make Hillary mad.
development challenge#1: taking SBFs money, building a platform that promised a lot but couldn't deliver, impeding the competitive landscape to try bulldoze over other better services, and if that fails doing what was done to ICP and many others with hostile market manipulation? I don't know a single serious Blockchain developer who would touch a solana project these days
Agent Orange is extensively used in US agriculture and forestry. Mustard Gas is effectively Chemo medicine now. Teargas is on every security guard's belt, but a named munition in war.
This is just marketing. No more chemical weapons? They've just been rebranded and given civilian functions, or exported and dropped on Syrians or Russians as part of America's glorious contributions to freedom around the world.
you should try being black in America, talking about how bogus and not fun a prison system is. America is the global leader in incarceration. prison demographics show a clearly racially biased legal system. Gonzalo Lira or Edward Snowden or Julian Assange or Michael Hastings would all be fine in Russia. This one middle rate spy badly masquerading as a journalist is as legit as bellingcat.
America; where every dystopic idea becomes government policy. What a fucking nightmare. Is the White House not aware that the earth's atmosphere does not actually belong to America to fuck with in the first place?
