Came to say this. Brazil is going to align themselves politically with these countries in the coming years.

Hey member that guy who bribed Clarence Thomas? He owns Real Page. Nothing to see here folks.

Glad I’m not the only one

Say what you will about ole Kim, but I spent a good chunk of time sailing the seven seas with his assistance.

When they killed RIF, I went to the mobile site a handful of times. There was crap from subs I didn’t subscribe to for a reason on my front page. Super annoying. I stopped browsing at that point, and only go back for niche subs

It’s the largest 24 hour brokerage in the US. There was too much sell volume, that their execution venue had to stop it which is a pretty big deal.

Robinhood killed 24 hour trading. Dip is apparently being bought now that premarket is open. Very sketchy tho.

We used to have to shill a micro loan “charity” back when I worked for the ole organic Walmart now owned by Bezos. My boss always gave me crap about not getting enough donations. I told them I was morally opposed to profiteering off the world’s poorest people. No, raiderkev, this is different. No the fuck it’s not. It’s not a charity, it’s a business, and we’re asking people to fund banks that will charge these people interest and get them started on a debt spiral. Hard pass.

High score baybeee

Oh I’m sorry, I thought this was America!

Elon bought it for a reason

It doesn’t change the fact that it’s a dumb idea. I get that this is the AAPL fanboi zone but ffs this thing dropped to 0 fanfare. It’s a dud.

You could do the virtual theater thing with your phone and Google Daydream like 8 years ago. It sucked then, and it’s no different now. Gimmicky tech is all it is. Unless they drop a true game changing VR game or something, it’s gonna join the club with meta quest and the rest of VR / AR devices. People will use it a handful of times thinking eh that’s kinda cool, then put it in a drawer to let it collect dust. I’ll happily eat my words if im wrong in 5 years, but I sincerely doubt these will take off. Apple is not going to drop price. Look at iPhone, they only ever went up in price.

A lot of developers bought Google glass too. It’s a stupid product with no use case.

I’m sure all 3 people that bought one of these POS’s are elated to know that it will work better with Spotify playing in the background.

Get a skateboard and go to your local skate park. Walk up to some kids and say how do you do fellow kids? What are we listening to today?

Yes, it has.

A mortgage payment has doubled in 3 years to buy the same house (assuming price was even the same which it often is significantly higher) What are you even talking about? This is not normal, and it’s fucked up that somebody who got a house 3 years ago got to pay half of what somebody who gets a house today. This is not capitalism. The market was already artificially high before covid, and then we let the richest people leverage themselves to the max on free money and buy up all the housing supply. The youngest people had the rug pulled on them the hardest. If you can’t see that, I don’t know what to tell you.

I personally would like to hear Bob Loblaw’s take on the situation…

I think you have AI to thank. Bots are going to take over everything, and I worry that soon comments of anything on the Internet will be rife with garbage like this.
