Addition: his father is a founding member of a right wing party in Turkey

I strongly think what you did is incorrect but I appreciate you sharing your view, and disapprove those who downvoted you. Upvoted.

Agreeing with you on Palestine, but I think Trump will be way worse, in that case and many others.

You clearly haven’t read the full essay.

So long as the capital markets were willing to continue funding loss-making future monopolists, your neighbors were going to make the choice to shop “the wrong way.” As small, local businesses lost those customers, the costs they had to charge to make up the difference would go up, making it harder and harder for you to afford to shop “the right way.”

Food for your thought.

I don’t know, to quote someone I read here: “The world shits when the US farts”

US electing an authoritarian might encourage authoritarians all around the world (even more)

Humanity, just like nature, thrives with diversity. Eugenics starts with “getting rid of nasty diseases” but it’s always 1 bad classification of “disease” away from genocide.

Ikea’s are nice too

JARVIS is AI. LLMs are superpowered autocorrect. We don’t have anything close to AI yet.

My favorite character is Goku from original DB. IMO he got dumber and dumber as the series went on, and he lost his original character a bit too. DBZ is cool and all but original DB was on another level.

RIP Akira Toriyama.

Hell yeah! People in 50s and even 20s worked 40 hours per week to feed a family of 4! Now we can do that by working much less than… wait, not even 2 working parents safely feed a family of 4? Even with all the gains in productivity?
