Sam Bankman-Fried is probably an even better example. Still, it's shameful how long all these individuals were able to operate large criminal enterprises in brazen defiance of the law without being called out on it. If any of these peo

This is why I like to go on vacation every year and blow what for most individuals on the earth represents an entire lifetime of co2 emissions just on the airfare. Take that virtue-signalers, by the time you figure out how to fix the planet

I clicked the "show fewer shorts" button on youtube for a while--they'd come back every 2-3 weeks, but then I'd click it again. Then I tried a different tactic: as soon as I saw a short in my "recommendations"
