Computer science code monkey. Read as much as you can.
I might be a bit cynical, but the USAID stuff Americans go on about feels very white saviour coded, especially with how much subterfuge done through USAID, and how much other countries simply did not want any aid from the States as they understood the strings attached.

Vance asks for a "little bit of patience." Sound familiar? Hoover plunged the nation into Depression asking Americans "if you will have patience".

Meanwhile, a taxi driver with cancer in Arizona has premiums go up from $44 to $2,600 a month.

Engineers think it’s a liquid but traffic is a gas. Give it space and it’ll fill it up. Take it away and it disperses

They're offloading all the debt onto special purpose vehicles (SPV) that are legally distinct entities propped up by promises from meta for decades of demand in compute. The banks take all the risk, Nvidia gets the equity and revenue, Meta gets the stock bump without the downside.
"It seems like a marvel of financial engineering: Meta is building a $27 billion data center in Louisiana, financed with debt, and neither the data center nor the debt will be on its own balance sheet."
AI Meets Aggressive Accounting at Meta’s Gigantic New Data Center
Favorable treatment off the balance sheet hinges on some convenient assumptions.

No editors. I have clients who have been editors for years and they’re losing their jobs to ai
Every day I see spelling and grammar mistakes in ads, TV chyrons, and other places where, in the past, it would be deeply embarrassing and a deal breaker for the source, but now they just fly, and where are the editors. Just hire me or something, damn.
Tell me, bro, where is your EDITOR?

I think the amount of rain was the major turn off for me, but it's easy to say that having never lived there.

Buuut the UK had a lot of rain/overcast and I low-key hated that

And my buzz is (understandably) completely gone now. Ugh
Man I haven't puked from bottom end upset nausea in years, that was such an intense wave. I think it's been 7 years since I last had both the toilet and bin. Yeesh.

Maybe fish balls are the culprit. I need to cook same thing next time without them.

Men are an oddity cause I like looking but touching is a major no-go. Fascinates myself.

I've just never been big on hair. Even my own. Even had trichotillomania bad until I wrestled that one 99% under control.

That was one unexpected nice thing with the ex, who also felt similarly wrt themselves.

A bit confused where you think the joke is.

Both VOA and RFE have very public records, some through FOIA, that they were explicitly established as American propaganda arms, even with ties to CIA involvement.

If you ask most non-americans who don't live in America, you will receive this same answer

Catch up? What do you mean?

Look. You have the luxury to be able to do so, while people like myself live it daily.

There is zero shame in admitting your position of privilege to be able to tune out, when others simply cannot as it's their lived experience.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

Not sure what they said since they blocked (?) for some reason.

I don't think you're going to get very far with someone who defends capitalism and imperialism.
