Yeah, nothing says “this person will repay their loans” like looking at their face and nothing fucking else.

I love how you can just call it capetalismo in portuguese, capeta = devil

Interesting, going to check that book

No

Better title:

Passkeys: still trying to explain why it’s worth the hassle when it isn’t

I’d ask for royalties or whatever it is for use of my likeness

In ex Spanish or Portuguese colonies, where having 2-4 family names is common, that happening would mean someone in your (extended) family did it

muskrat loves his x-rated shit publicly visible to everyone

his fund, Scion Asset Management, bought $187.6 million in puts on Nvidia and $912 million in puts on Palantir (…) Palantir’s market cap is also up over 150 percent year-to-date. Its current valuation is upwards of 200 times its forward earnings, spreading fears that it may be grossly overvalued.

He knows which one is more likely to get really fucked in this bubble and it’s not the shovel seller

Burry similarly made a long-term $1 billion bet from 2005 onwards against the US mortgage market, anticipating its collapse.

Can we assume his puts aren’t for 2026, but at least 2028 or later?

As CNN points out, Burry’s track record isn’t perfect. For instance, he called in January 2023 to “sell” in a now infamous tweet

Something something irrational solvent something

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “The two companies he’s shorting are the ones making all the money,”

One of the companies is making all the money and it’s not Palantir.

My important documents are all in a folder inside my closet. Somewhere.

Other than that, the only stuff of value that I have are electronics, like my laptop, tv, phones.

It certainly helps that the biggest enemy of Cuba is like 200km away and is more than willing to pay for every Cuban doctor that arrives there.

I think all schools in Brazil have uniform, even private ones. No such thing as “physical education uniform”, tho, you sweat on the same shirt you stay in class, so everyone is kind of forced to have 5 fucking uniform shirts and 2-3 pairs of pants and shorts, which makes it feel more like free money extortion rather than anything else.

I don’t know enough about school history in my country to really tell whether this is some form of authoritarian bullshit or not, since there was some sort of education reform during the dictatorship (1964-1985) which led to a significant increase in private schools since, as “public school” became synonymous with “shit education”, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it originated from that line of thought. I mean, schools here operate on assembly line logic, so uniforms make perfect sense.

Tangent: Jami is p2p, so the only risk of going offline is if everyone in the groups go offline. It does lack several quality of life features, though.

I feel joy when I play boardgames or tabletop RPGs. With a good table, lots of banter and shit talking happens and that’s perfect.

Never had weed. When I drink, I get more talkative, but it’s a fine line before I get sleepy and depressed

Can you make fences out of stone or metal, or just wood, in SV? Because I recall Harvest Moon DS allowed you to make stone fences, which were a lot more likely to survive hurricanes and snowstorms

Ah, Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2, where you, Dracula, start off wimpy and weak, are forced to do shitty stealth. Near the end of the game, fully powered up, you still cannot take those forced stealth enemies head on

Purely in game mechanic is just looter-<genre>, like Diablo or Borderlands.

* Except the Old World Blues stuff if you arrive there at a high level, then those fucking lobotomites with fuckloads of health will engage you from a mile away even if your entire build is stealth based

Not before they make 10 movies about how great their job in bringing democracy to said country was

It’s Xiaomi, of course the app will not work without internet access
