One of the other Australian Supermarkets, Coles, uses Palantir’s systems of facial recognition to keep a database of what shoppers buy. Which is creepy.

So, still working for Elon then.

…and Kim Jong-Un is a great and very honest leader.

Also, maybe if you see him and get the chance… you could cause some inheritances to flow. Speed up that generational wealth transfer.

Not sure digital currency could perform all the functions of being a reserve currency, such as being readily fungible, untracked, and easily physically transported. I mean, two people bribing their way out of a war zone, or just a widely recognized currency sitting in a go-bag, these were some of the usages the USD took up, due to people knowing it was widely accepted.

Also, I don’t know if defaults would be enough to stop that, as the currency is usually backed by the US giving a black eye to anyone small enough who tries to trade oil in something else.

But I accept that these days these are marginal circumstances, trade and oil deals are done in other currencies in some places.

My thinking on this is probably out of date. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

An unorganised switch in reserve currency may see China attempting to compete to be the reserve currency. If things go poorly and the American economy suffers in a much more extreme fashion a much more hard-line form of fascism (harder than the Trump regime) may crop up with the ensuing economic discontent.

Or perhaps a form of Socialism. Either way it’s likely to be single party and authoritarian.

Double pirate.

Sorry, Gen-Z will in all likelihood be as passive and innert to revolt or political actions as previous generations have been.

Plus there’s so much more tech they’re going to be subject to.

I think it’s poking fun at anyone who would hate foreskin (whilst accepting things which are generally considered gross). So it probably doesn’t deserve the downvotes.

It’s saying hating foreskin is absurd compared to some of the pther things that go on with sex.

That last one is more a mix of Hitch Hiker’s Guide and Red Dwarf.

Feels like you’re going for a hybrid of Crumb from KB Comics, and Bingus from Raw Dawg Comics.

So it’s still quite readible as consciously vying/hybridizing (yes, this is just like, my opinion man - to paraphrase The Big Lewbowski).

1. store thats shit in a bank’s vault, immediately.

2. move properties, because that one is gonna be burgled whether the gold is still in the premises or not.

That doesn’t change the statement dumb ass. Denying someone their rights on the basis you’ve laid out doesn’t improve anything. Just shows you’re an asshole too.

Progress in general.

It’s fair to say Capitaliat hegemony and attempts to constrain all other human values is detrimental to quality of life, society, and is a risk to our species as a whole.

Bruce Springsteen is better.

TIL based is washed (always has been).

First to be gassed by the Nazis.

The shitpost-to-boomer-humour pipeline is very real.

“oh, I only see race!”

Yep, it’s from Doot Doot, by Skrilla, and made its way from rap, to basketball (meaning to coldly score against someone or out perform them)… And now white people are saying it thinking it just means nothing because the internet is kooky.
