For a better lemmy experience, remember to block lemmy.ml , lemmygrad, and hexbear.net . On mbin, use URL spec /d/<domain_name> and block. Or since that doesn’t seem to work, just block their communities whenever they pop-up.

Moved on to the better fediverse platform, mbin, avoid lemmy instances: https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/blob/main/README.md (scroll to bottom)

  • I mean, it can. US projects a lot of its influence from its technology dominance, but AI has the potential of turning that mountain of an advantage into a molehill, and the thing about AI that investors don’t want to admit is that it reaches a performance ceiling, so investing more into it might be good for the short term, not so good for the long-term. Unfortunately, it’s still going to savage through salaries and job availability - but this also affects the biggest economies more than it does the lesser ones. Crypto, AI, tech is at least helping the technological Silicon Valley hegemony shoot itself in the foot.


  • Talking about a day in the stock market is akin to cloud spotting. It takes a continued and drastic trend, not just some eye raising numbers taken out of context. As much as I would be quietly gleeful for news like this because then it would mean actions have consequences, news articles often jump the gun with single digit changes that are reverted the following day. And if you look at the markets, European markets are getting hit as hard - what’s the cloud spotting rationale there? This and YT influencer feeds jumping the gun about how big Trump opposition is when the truth is it really isn’t materializing to the level it needs to be are my biggest pet peeves that make me just want to turn my head sometimes. I don’t want to hear what makes me feel good, I want to hear about news that really reflects reality.








  • So three weeks to either suck up to the US until Russia snipes them off while the US does so as well. Trump opening up with wanting to acquire Greenland and Canada wasn’t him being mad, it wasn’t him being resentful, it wasn’t him being a strong man, it was always within the context of where Trump’s US along with Russia are positioning themselves now. Forget the bombing of Hiroshima, if a nuclear bomb got dropped in Ukraine or Europe, Trump and his followers would blame Europe and do nothing to help it. The US has gone from being schizophrenic bipolar to just being psychotic. COVID was a herald of the world that awaits them, people will get to decide if they follow it as slaves or die with some dignity, knowing that their legacy might be buried under a sea of lies.
