A democracy ideally should have checks against buying voters, not that these are effective maybe anywhere in the world, but I would hate to be a doomer and think this is something that can’t be fixed.

He probably thinks it isn’t real, rather than “it is not affecting me right now, but will probably be unmanageable in 20 years”

Can they be sued for this?

Explain please

I’m not an accountant but here’s how that might go

• institute a family fund to hold all of your assets for you, registered in tax haven

• don’t actually own part of the fund, so that it doesn’t count as an asset, but find a wag to keep control of it

I’d love a wealth tax but stashing your wealth in tax havens is super easy so idk what the point is

you could say this about anyone though. like “there are some people with cancer I’d want to be in jail”

just because someone is homeless doesn’t mean they’re more likely to be a bad person

Sam Altman is fuckin gay?

It’s NY post. They hate him

No chance

Not because of this, mostly climate collapse, but yeah

If you’re fine with using cosmic then KDE should be fine

Why is it an overreaction? They mention these weird arch dotfiles so much, people just wanted an answer.

sway, niri are both good, different kind of WMs.

US police are highly militarised even when not needed. Small towns have fucking tanks. I think they just like showing their authority.

What race someone is literally depends on what people think. There’s no scientific way to establish the race of someone. A popular example is that Italians and Irish were not considered white.

Idk how you can’t follow my argument, it’s clearly about the fact that it’s not definitive whether Jews are a race or not. It is definitive that they are an ethnic group because you can establish that via culture and heritage and language and obviously, religion.

I think Indians and Taiwanese look very different and don’t have a similar origin, but people would say they’re both “Asians” by race.

race is a social construct, I don’t think wikipedia would have a definitive list of races

Quite common in India to speak a mix of English and another language. My partner and I mostly speak English, but some sentences just happen in Hindi.

Even if you don’t celebrate his death, calling him a ‘divisive figure’ shouldn’t get you fired

I don’t think it’s fine to think other people are assholes for having kids but I think it’s completely fine to not want to being a kid into this world
