I have a friend that started saying some weird stuff. I asked if he listened to rogan and they said that he’s great and got defensive right away. I wonder if they ever figured out how I knew they listened to rogan or thought about it at all.

I hope it works out for you guys, it seems great.

I wasn’t sure, since I was going off of another person’s post talking about buying something through the JP post. I looked into it, and it’s still unclear, lol. The other poster made it sound easy, but if you look a little deeper, it doesn’t seem that way.

I think they’re going for the Japan version. It’s cash, so you can move it around like cash (money transfers) with a system that works like cash (payment systems). It’s its own thing separate from banks, etc.

Currently, around two-thirds of card transactions in the eurozone are processed through international payment schemes, underscoring Europe’s dependence on non-European infrastructure. In many EU countries, domestic alternatives remain weak or non-existent, leaving the payments landscape dominated by US-based companies.

The ECB plans for the digital euro to function as a digital equivalent of cash, with full legal tender status alongside physical banknotes and coins. Officials also aim to create a system that allows transactions without user fees, offering a public alternative to private payment networks.

So, do we think the middle school girl’s school in Iran was AI or malicious?

My man, that’s not the point. Nobody cares about that metal except for tweakers trying to turn it in for cash, and that would destroy the data centers doing it.

Tbh, I think communism is stupid for anything bigger than 30 people, because humans have a percentage that are inherently corrupt and will abuse it. Imo, combine democracy and the socialism part, and we have ourselves a stew.

I think this will get worked out pretty quickly. They need to get the water to the land, that’s all. Planting trees is a great thing, not sure why this article tries to make it sound like “China fucked up.”

According to the study, the country’s northern regions contain roughly 46 percent of its population and more than half of the arable land, but only 20 percent of water availability. The authors argue that these altered hydrological cycles need to be taken into account when planning future reforestation efforts.

True, but you can read between the lines:

The big game hunter had his own private function rooms filled with hundreds of his trophies, including elephant, rhino, bear, buffalo, lion, crocodile, zebra and leopard.

There would be judges, advocates and the heads of the local vineyards and big noises from industry and commerce and it was where all the local networking was done.>

It didn’t say the vote earlier, maybe they updated it? Also, you’re not wrong in that my response probably seems over the top. The reason being, I look at the news every single work day and post stuff. Their headlines are crap and their content is borderline. To see it sink this far with 3 windows you need to collapse to see anything is disheartening. I’m somewhat grumpy about it.

In a 52 to 46 vote along party lines, Republicans approved a motion to proceed to the measure, which was released earlier in the day. The vote needed only 51 votes to succeed.

Republicans passed this. NPR, you’re shit.

Although Florida is really both narco traffic and pedophilia. Otherwise, pretty good.

Lately, he says he’s noticed that “pro-Nazi, pro-Hitler content” has been getting especially high engagement on platforms like Reels, speculating that an AI hot girl Nazi influencer “would blow up. It would just break all the records.” (When asked about this claim, a Meta spokesperson said, “We prohibit content that glorifies, supports, or represents Nazism, and we remove it when we find it.”)

lmao, they remove it when they find it, they’re not actively looking for it. In fact, I bet they’re actively trying to avoid ways to take it down.

JetBlue is hardly the first airline to fall into the limelight for potentially changing its prices based on a user’s browser history.

The Federal Trade Commission has studied surveillance pricing methods since 2024, and found retailers often used people’s personal information to set individualized pricing information. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said he “directed staff to start examining” if new disclosure rules are needed by companies during a Senate Commerce Committee earlier this month.

That’s probably what this is about. The UK has universal healthcare, which means poor health costs them more money. I wish Americans would understand this.

Do you know why I would do better? I would hire him to do the logistics and handle the CFO, while focusing on R&D, design and what the customers want. He entirely skipped R&D, design and giving the customers what they want.

Plus I would fucking never do this and suck up to a fascist:

Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson claimed on the popular YouTube program Judging Freedom that during an emergency meeting on Saturday, Trump attempted to access the nuclear codes.

“One report coming out of that meeting at the White House is that Trump wanted to… use the nuclear codes, and General Dan Caine stood up and said ‘No’. He invoked his privilege as the head of the military, so to speak. It was apparently quite a blow-up. There’s some very bizarre things going on in DC.” It comes amid growing concern about the president’s erratic behavior - just days ago, Trump made a disturbing sex comment on stage that stunned his audience into silence.

Yes, because profit is everything. Just saying.
