I’m sorry you and your family had to go through that.

I’m Canadian and I gladly pay more taxes than you so that I and my friends get free healthcare when we need it.

When we watched the fights over “Obamacare” we just shook our heads.

Tax-funded health care. Making sure crazy people can’t buy machine guns. Voting for reasonable candidates.

Friends don’t let friends use Windows.

Because it’s disgusting. That and because of the Templars.

What you’re describing is a cult or psychosis. Stopping it is a good thing, not something to be worried about.

Replace her existing account with a new one. Make up some excuse. Use the don’t recommend channel option when a bad recommendation comes up.

False! My frozen tundra will turn into new Florida swampland with my own meth gators.

But only the superb owls, not the mediocre low-rent fowls.

• We need a central registry of communities, aka subreddits, and users.

• Figuring out if two posts are identical is going to be a challenge.

• Some people are going to cross post but post slightly differently on each instance because they don’t know if their post will be federated

• Maybe group by hashtag instead of community name?

• We should steal the ideas that were good with Reddit and Twitter

No. I hear you. I see you. And gosh darn it people like you.

Now shut up while I eat my beans

I am a complicated man. I contain multitudes.

Bait and switch! On closer inspection, none of these beans are actually fucking!

Has everything on Netflix, Prime, etc., plus

Even though I paid for Prime, I would get an ad before every show. No ads with Stremio.

With streaming service I get some seasons of shows but not others. With Stremio I get the entire series.

LOL Reminds me of how Chlamydia sounds like a beautiful name for a baby girl.

Yes high returns. Average of 25‰ over 25 years.

But also, much higher risk with 75% of startups never shipping and 40% of those liquidating so VC investors lose all of their money.

So if you have 25 years, don’t need the cash, and have a high tolerance for risk then VCs are for you.

But if you think you’re going to need to cash out sooner than 25 years or need steady income then interest bearing instruments look a lot more attractive.

Now that stremio + torrentio exist piracy is MORE convenient than streaming.

Interest rates went from almost zero to real rates. If you’re sitting on a pile of money you can invest it in internet companies with crazy valuations and no profit or near zero-risk Treasury Bills and interest-bearing certificates.

Many investors know they are betting on the greater fool instead of any real value in these internet companies. There are now fewer greater fools.

If your business model was to give out free stuff paid for by piles of investor money, you suddenly had to find cash to keep the lights on.

Elon has to pay $1B in interest every year for Twitter. That’s still a lot of money.

Elon being a cartoon villian gave other people cover to do the same. You’re less likely to be singled out by the media.Your taking candy from a baby is just part of the trend or the run of bad luck falling on those poor billionaires.
