This round-tripping bullshit was categorically insane before, and yet the bubble keeps growing and growing. I have no idea what the fuck to even think anymore. This is more divorced from reality by an order of magnitude than the .com bubble. What even are financial markets even for nowadays? What is the fucking point if this is the thing the markets think is worth pouring truly stupid amounts of money into, when it’s CLEARLY not only unprofitable with wildly inaccurate estimates of capital asset depreciation (GPUs will get smoked or be obsolete WAY faster than a 5 year timespan), but also just… such unbelievably obvious snake-oil bullshit? Like, I’m sorry, no, there’s zero way you can convince me that this is an even remotely reasonable valuation.

So, having not played it, is C7 basically just the Civ series’s C&C4 moment?

Not very cash money tbh

Good thing we’re halting all offshore wind farm development. That surely won’t stress the grids that we’re expecting that capacity to come online in the next 5-10 years beyond their breaking point.

He just wants the seaside property to build Trump Tower Gaza on

I hope Texans enjoy having their taxpayer dollars wasted. Because that’s what they’ve voted for, and that’s all this will do, because acetaminophen absolutely the fuck does not cause autism

Wait, fuck, now my primary is failing over and the secondaries can’t form a quorum and are caught in an election loop.

This is the most dumb timeline

Lmao fuck everything he’s just using Putin’s playbook now I guess 🤦‍♂️

lol so while I’m sure it’s very possible to detect that, I’m also sure that, considering how friendly he is with the administration, I’m also sure this will be used to detect political opponents. And I’d be unsurprised if RFK declares some sort of revised forced institutionalization policy or something like that, and uses this to… drive the policy, shall we say.

 

Super awesome that the heaviest hitters in the industry are folding like this. It’s almost as if the entire legal profession is worth jack shit. Jesus tapdancing christ.

Government websites now no longer mention perhaps the single most selfless, incredible, and strategically significant coordinated effort by a community of First Nation military personnel in service to a country that did worse than nothing to deserve their loyalty - and yet they played, and succeeded in, a pivotal role that literally helped win the pacific campaign.

Any veterans on here: I really do hope you’re furious at this.

It’s a very obvious solution once you take a look at what a lot of their coastline looks like. Elevated armor delivery. Skip the beach. Dump ‘em’ straight on the coastal roads. Makes a shocking amount of sense. Definitely much more specific of a use case than the more general purpose landing support vessels that the USN/USMC employs, but for their primary missions and targets in the next decade, this is exactly the hardware that will significantly increase the CCP’s chances.

This is the an evolution of the combined arms amphibious assault tactics that the US has refined for the better part of a century. For heavily built up targets - specifically those that need to be assaulted and captured quickly for any reasonable chance of success (read: Taiwan + establishing a foothold on the island), this is PERFECT. This basically lets you dump 1000 tanks and a ton of IADS and 100k infantrymen in like, an hour.

That’s a paradigm shift right there.
