Most people are living paycheck to paycheck... But if you mean owning stock or a retirement portfolio makes you a capitalist then I think that is still incorrect. People who actually own the company of whose stock you "own" can make decisions that will ultimately decimate your retirement savings while enriching themselves.

Pretty sure his name will be blacked out because of national security reasons. It's the DOJ that's delivering the files

I want to take this argument of efficiency in a different direction. First, two key observations: the system doing the simulation will never be as efficient as the system being modeled. Second a conscious system is aware of it's own efficiency. This means even if you simulate a whole human body to create consciousness it will not have the same quality. It will either be aware of all the extra resources required to create "self" or fed a simulation of self that hides it's own nature and thus cannot be self aware.

The best time to organize your community is before the occupiers show up. The second best time is during the occupation itself.

If you're in the USA: why aren't you? If you're not in the USA: we don't want the National guard to be sent in

The recent GOP defections on the Epstein files might have the oligarchs worried they won't get their bailout

Apply this logic to the hospitality industry, where Trump famously got his start. Your hotel hosts dignitaries around the world. If you find out one of your guests invited prostitutes or did drugs you could have leverage over some very powerful people. If there is sewage surveillance, you will see it at the hotels first.

I am seeing ads where businesses will try to influence AI to recommend your brand. I don't know if they actually work but it strikes me as everything we hate about SEO but shoved into every facet and interface that a capitalist owns.

Yes, because he repented! He didn't defend those who thought they did nothing wrong. Jesus and the Bible is pretty clear that Jesus won't defend you unless you're actually sorry. He is the friend that calls you out on your shit, to your face in front of your peers to the point that you either run away or admit your mistake. What would you call that if not shunning?

Tough shit,. It is our responsibility to protect people, not to fix every broken man. Even Jesus flipped tables and ran out the money collectors from his house.

What? She was a fantastic candidate! The fact she lost to someone so obviously bad just means she was bad at communicating to dumb voters. This is a widely known and predictable problem with Americans and you can't blame her for that. So you see, she was the best person to not get the job. /s
