It’s a very natural progression - an emergent behavior from an aversion to empathy so it’s pretty much pervasive. Generally people think you’re faking it because you look healthy and it’s almost a dare to say if it was really as bad as you’

Many countries already have MAID style voluntary euthanasia, and as someone with ME/CFS I know many people pressured into taking that option. So in that way I consider the early stages of Aktion T4 “Life unworthy of life” to already be

I have similar thoughts, I don't understand the push for variable width SIMD. Possibly due to ignorance but I think it's an abstraction that can be specialized for different hardware so the similar tradeoffs between low level lang

There is also a bond market collapse for those people not invested in stocks precisely because they're close to retirement. I think that was the real reasons that tariff effects were postponed, the increase in interests in the bond mar

Many of your remaining freedoms are provided by dissidents who fight for them, not you. Their fight against the state requires secrecy and plausible denial. If the state is able to peer into all aspects of your life and others they can rout

There is another side of the ledger e.g. currency so the question is then how does a currency remain valuable when more has to be produced to keep buying things, as opposed to selling things. US has been running a trade deficit for only the
