I am not a professional programmer and I don’t see any issue with not being passionate about coding with one important caveat. If you are just collecting a paycheck and creating code that you aren’t passionate about, and that code happens

Unless it’s a long term hedge for a new global reserve currency. Then this is exactly what you would want. And anonymity is never going to be a feature for financial transactions, that’s just kinda naive TBH.

UAP. There is clearly a phenomenon occurring that is completely unexplainable and well beyond our current understanding. We have countless credible witnesses and multi-witness events in our armed forces alone. I don’t purport to know what

Legitimate criticism of Robinhood: -the app crashes at the worst possible times -they gamify the investing process too much -they have no customer service Everything else is pretty much just sour grapes or outright smears.

Yea that’s what 401k and IRAs are for. Whether you like it or not, Robinhood has lowered the barriers to entry for actual investing. Sure, there are people that use it like a casino. But the lack of fees per trade and the ability to buy

As a Robinhood user with a finance degree, I have never experienced any issues with order execution or misrepresented prices that are passed on to the investor. In fact, I use the TD Ameritrade Think or Swim app for charts and research and

Look it’s not aliens but there is nothing clearly making this art. It’s far more likely a memorial for someone or something. It’s hidden. It’s expensive. And quite frankly, would be a shitty rip off if it was art.

We could look to our ancestors and turn it into ritual. A rite of passage. We need something to hold us together, our modern culture is cold and devoid of meaning.

> but I personally see the situation as so bad, that I'm worried about how China's influence will extend to the West. Yes but I fear it’s even worse. Their influence has already extended into the west and has for at least a dec

China is trying to become the world hegemony. If that’s not empire building, I don’t know what is.

Yea the cultural revolution where the Red Guard roved the country murdering millions of innocent people was 52 years ago so you are technically right. Get this: they even engaged in cannibalism as an ideological purity test! https:/&

What exactly can he do outside of economics sanction? It’s either that or saber rattling. We don’t want a war with China, that would be a global catastrophe. We just want to keep them in check long enough for communism to inevitably coll

What exactly is political about genocide? Genocide is a byproduct of ideological derangement. American corporations are beholden to China’s massive market and Biden is beholden to American corporations. It is far more likely that Biden ca

How could you possibly know the feelings of most Chinese citizens when they aren’t allowed to express them?

Why would non “meat” intelligence have any concept of “meat”? And if they did, why would they be so surprised? The plot holes are glaring.

I love how people say Apple fanboys like it’s an insult. Is there a legitimate, better option to apple? No because the smartphone market is dominated by google and apple. At least apple pretends to care about privacy. Yes, apple are obvi

That’s like comparing a turn table used for DJ’ing to a record player used to just listen to records. Completely different application, accessories, and technique.

I never understood why osteopaths aren’t in the same ballpark as chiropractors. Seems like the type of woo-ish stuff that doctors hate.

These are all subjective complaints that are inherently anecdotal. I would also argue on the severity. How many people complained of chronic fatigue 2 years ago? Maybe COVID has been spreading for decades making people tired and depressed!
