Okay, some of them were pretty funny, but come on, not knowing the Dakotas and where that name came from? Louisiana? Not familiar with the French roots?
I am a central European and even I know all of the states and at least more than "it's flat", "potatoes" etc.
But oh well, I have been a Transeuropean ever since I understood the uniqueness of the Constitution of the United States of America. I have identified as AMERICAN ever since lol.
Last time I checked, over 70% of black kids grow up without a father in the US.
I remember the late 90s very well. There was great optimism. Technology was advancing quickly, but there was a clear consensus that freedom and democracy was the most important thing (in the European country I was born in).
The internet had just kicked off big. I got my first job in tech and was loving it. Experts were experts. They were critical. The news appeared real and void of political opinion.
After 911 things went south but not very quickly. I remember 2008 and being happy finally a black man was going to be POTUS. It was soon after that I took the red pill, mostly through modern women and their behavior. YouTube was still cool. But from there on out it got worse very quickly.
And here we are: in a dystopian nightmare that will not disappear anytime soon, with 90% of the people in a deep consumerist sleep.
This happens when you blow things like "racism" way out of proportion. You start thinking you are clever for providing a "solution" that fits logically within your illogical worldview.
PS: The Smurfs do not like being culturally appropriated.
Russia will rise again... what do you mean "again"?
How does it feel to have an economy equal in size to that of Italy? The sick man of Europe lol.
I have been to Moscow a few times and once visited St. Petersburg (which foreigners designed and built for the Russians!). My experience is that most Russian men are a bunch of corrupt drunken wife-beaters.
It's no wonder most of your women are fleeing to central Europe. How is your birth rate going? What use is having a fatherland when there is no one living in it?
I've been on AMD and Linux for a while. Keep your old systems people. Perhaps upgrade now. You will be needing it.
Also, obviously, never ever ever buy anything with this proposed technology in it.
Yeah, good luck getting the dosage right. Also, the chemicals involved can only be gotten with a prescription (for instance for when you have a deer farm). They have to be stored cooled. Once on the dart, they will go bad in about an hour or so.
You will have to dose it correctly; 130 lbs - 250 lbs robber? Ah, you are out of luck. It will not even affect people in expected ways; the 130 lbs guy may run around for 10 minutes still. Et cetera.
It is a dumb liberal idea that is not based on any knowledge or information or any experience for that matter.
Scroll back about 8,5 hours on the live stream and you will see dusk setting in. Now you know the blue lights are not police cars.
Nothing happened. Nothing is happening.
Sorry to pop your bubble.
The middle is what is typically called "oversocialized and underinformed". They see more value in appeasement than in personal freedom. Very dangerous folks.
Or how about the death penalty for arson?
Yeah for HIS economic success, not ours! lol
In other news: police are most likely to shame and even punish people for speeding.
They had been bullying him for a long time. They shoveled their snow across the street onto his property.
Not condoning violence, but if the couple had not escalated this over the course of years, this would not have happened.
Okay, not to condone this, but the couple was shoveling the snow off of their drive way, across the road, ONTO HIS PROPERTY. They were scolding him and you can see the obscene gestures.
Me thinks they all belonged in the mental ward!
Was gonna say this! I hate it when people are WRONG. Ruined the joke for me!
I thought about this meme today. Could not find it.
And here is KEK blessing me with memory and laughs. PRAISE KEK
Just for future reference; a typical atom is 0.1 nanometers. If you put four hydrogen atoms on a carbon atom, you have a methane molecule (which by itself is an odorless gas).
Obviously, a virus consists of many molecules. A typical virus will have ~1000 protein molecules that together consists of millions of atoms. Hence, a viral particle is many times larger than an atom.
Also, when nvidia says they make their GPUs on an 8 nm process, it means that the gate length of the transistors is roughly 80 atoms long. That's insanely small. A modern GPU has ~29 billion transistors.
Well, surprisingly out of these five, the Austrians are the most based, imho.
Oh the irony. First the People support their behinds with tax money... Then they use the same tax-money to invest.
This guy is such a sore loser. Wow. If I had any business with him, it would be grounds to cancel the deals and never to work with him again.
You do not get it, obviously.
Nah, it is not a psy-op. It is just people banding together to extract value from the hedge funds who would normally be making the money. Also, it is not advertised or reported on as a quick way to get rich. The trick only works if they hold on to their stocks as they have been doing. They just had to wait long enough for the hedge fund to fail.
Of course, the value of the stock will sooner or later reflect the actual value of the stock, meaning most people engaging in this action will not become rich unless they sell now, but this is not the point of this thing. So in conclusion: A few may get rich, but most will sell too late and may end up losing a bit of money.
Of course, the media will spin it. Wallstreet will demand politicians do something against this. Of course they will spin it as something evil, but it is a lot like what hedge funds have been doing for many decades. Soros became famous for doing this to whole economies. He got rich by disrupting markets like this.
What did occupy wallstreet accomplish? Nothing. In a few weeks, these people hurt hedge funds more than anyone thought possible. Is it bad? Is it good? I don't know. I just know people in power will use it to do bad things, further exposing their true colors to the people.
So when trading stocks, you can make a bet a stock is going to go down in value. This bet is performed by getting people to lend you their stocks. Say you borrow 1,000 stocks. You promise them to give them back their stock at an agreed upon date plus a little money, so they get something out of the deal too.
You take their stocks and immediately sell them, which should immediately make the price drop, inciting others to sell their stocks. You expect the stock to drop in value, because of this (and other reasons) so you expect to be able to buy the 1,000 stocks at a lower price.
You buy the 1,000 stocks at the reduced price from the money you got from selling them, add a little money per stock and give them back to the people you got them from. If done well, you end up with some money left.
Now, this only works if the stocks actually decrease in value, otherwise you have to pay MORE for each stock to give them back.
Online you can look up information about stocks and the GME stocks were shorted by 140%. So people noticed this and started buying as many stocks as they could, so that everyone shorting these stocks would be in big trouble. They would have to pay back many times the expected value of the stocks and make huge losses to uphold their contracts.
The risk is of course that a lot of people start selling their stocks once their value increases. This would normally be a way out for the people shorting on stocks. However, in this case this did not happen, because people were holding on to their stocks. And they still are.
I remember it took a while with Obama too.
I hadn't heard of him, but greatly appreciate his sentiment. It appears he has a podcast:

I will definitely listen to that and see if I like it.
How is that possible?
