  • If you’re serious about investing, it’s worth asking the question “Is Intel in a position to compete with TMSC?” rather than just dumping all your money into an index.

    Unless you work in this sector and have detailed knowledge, youd be delusional to believe to be able to answer that question better than “the market” in general.

    Also i’d say Palantir isnt as much of a secret tip but rather capitalizing on wanting to live under Fascism. If you dont want to live unser Fascism you should wish for Palantir to burn to the ground. This directly contradicts pumping money into them.





  • Yes, it is intentional. And the “never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence” trope is clearly wrong in the context of politicians.

    When they do these things they know what they are doing and who they are doing it for. Imagine an engineer would have designed 10 generations of exploding phones. Would you say it is just incompetence after the third one? So why give politicians the slack to always be “incompetent” in the same way over and over again that just so happens to defend the interests of the oligarchy against the normal people?


  • Know where to pitch a tent.

    If you are close to a stream, pitch the tent a few meters above the water. If it rains you don’t know how quickly it can rise.

    In the same wake, if you are pitching on a plain, pitch your tent on a relative rise. If you pitch in a relative depression rain will drench you.

    If you pitch on a slope, and there will usually be slight slopes, pitch your tent so, that your head is facing upwards when sleeping.

    If a storm is expected you might be inclined to pitch under a tree, but be careful. If a branch breaks off and hits you, that can be very bad.

    If you pitch your tent in the open and it is a hot summer, the inside will get very hot very quickly. Make sure to get up and out early, don’t get wasted at night and bring reflective covering. People died at festivals when they stayed in their tents when getting wasted and then getting roasted in their tents.






  • No they did not do the right thing. The right thin would have been to come up with the plan to fix the whole thing immediately and then communicate it to potentially affected people and organizations, especially the employees working in that building or buildings that would be destroyed in a collapse.

    It is completely unacceptable to omit life threatening danger from people and “face saving” and also likely “cost saving” by not having to rent other office space to stay in until the corrective measures were taken, were put over the life’s of thousands of people.


  • I strategically refrain from alcohol or other drug consumption. And my life has improved drastically ever since.

    Whatever the reason that you feel you have to abuse drugs as a coping mechanism, it will only make things worse. You will not be able to process your emotions, you will not be able to think clear about what is your best way forward and you will not be able to grow stronger while drugged up.

    The fact that you say you “needed to be anesthetized” for an uncomfortable conversation screams that you are either already having a drug abuse problem and that you have issues with your emotional regulation.


  • As an engineer i can tell you that a building being made of concrete and steel in no way indicates it to be safeguarded against fire. With how combustible a lot of interior has become over the past century, it can still turn into a flame engulfed hellhole, unless a high level of fire protection was achieved with proper firewalls and seals, containment design, extinguishing measures etc.

    If you subject steel directly or rebar concrete to heat for a long time, the structural integrity will be permanently lowered, often requiring a building to be demolished and rebuilt after a larger fire.





  • There is three major “theaters” right now:

    1. Eastern Europe (Ukraine)
    2. West Asia (Middle East)
    3. East Asia

    The US already moved multiple ships from East Asia to facilitate the attacks on Iran. If Iran responds by retaliating against US based in the region, the US will probably commit large amounts of forces and get itself into another Iraq/Afghanistan style situation.

    This removes US forces and restocking capabilities from East Asia. Now China can expand itself in that region, which the US had thought to contain by its military presence.

    The US has been trying to “pivot” out of West Asia into East Asia for over a decade now. This also explains Israels attacks on Iran now in an attempt to force the US to maintain focused on the region. Think of it like the older child throwing tantrums when their younger sibling is getting more attention.


  • This will probably be the calmest year of the years to come.

    Russia, the US and EU are failing slowly, with Russia and the US kicking around in the process. The EU doesn’t really know what to do except follow suit to the US, no matter the stupidity.

    Aside from these three China seems to be emerging for now, but is running into huge demographic issues that the others already have.

    Neoliberal Capitalism is destroying the very foundations of society and leading to a new rise of Fascism as it is ideologically way too deeply entrenched to overcome itself and the mantra of eternal growth and eternal capital accumulation at the top.

    On top of all this the climate catastrophe is picking up intensity every year and the effects will cause more and more disruption.

    Meanwhile any attempts at spearheading a better world, one of sustainable economies and basic human rights are disrupted by the forces of old, who employ ever more gruesome weapons and tools of mass surveillance while refusing any social innovation.

    To answer your question: Yes it is overwhelming and it will probably get a lot worse.


  • The claim was that everything was copied horizontally, which is evidently not the case in the picture. Also as i have linked the widest “freeway” in the US has even more lanes.

    Thank you for posting the article. As you can read in the article they prove the fact that the image is altered by pointing out the number of lanes being wrong, not by “suspicious patterns” in the cars.

    The claim that the image was just doubled horizontally simply does not check out. There was more effort put into creating the fake.
