60 years takes us to 1965, hmm

Strong urge to just play “Venetian Snares - a lot of drugs” or “Aphex Twin - Ventolin” to someone and try to convince them that’s what everyone listens to in the future. But I can’t quite figure out who would give me the best reaction, maybe someone like Elvis

Playing something like “deadmau5 - Strobe” or basically anything from Chemical Brothers to people like Bob Moog or Don Buchla, would be a cool experience. Tbh they’d probably love a bit of Aphex

Do you have a full resolution image? I want to pixel peep

What incredibly clever and interesting marketing that didn’t make me roll my eyes so far I nearly detached my optic nerves.

Peculiar no one has mentioned the music specific *arr

How would a general strike be neutral or positive for the economy?

General strikes have to involve a meaningful percentage of the working population and are only supposed to end when the demands are met. The people on strike stop working, reduce spending as much as possible and stop paying tax.

It’s hard to imagine a scenario where that wouldn’t affect it massively in a negative way, so I’m genuinely curious as to what you think would happen in that scenario

Edit: I’m not sure I understand why this has been met with downvotes and no comment? I don’t see how I’m saying anything false here

Unless it’s a misunderstanding that I’m saying people should not do a general strike, which couldn’t be more wrong. Tbf I think Americans should have started one long before this point.

Hurting the economy in a sustained manner is the mechanism through which general strikes are an effective tool of the working class

I’m sorry, does he not know what the fucking letter “M” is?

Well that’s lit up some braincells that haven’t fired in a while, might pick this up and give it a go once it’s out

I feel like those early 3d platformer collect-a-thon games often don’t age too well though IMO

Nah nothing creepy

Just Americans thinking turning a class of children into keema is an acceptable trade-off for being able to burn through a load of fuel and not see the road

Pathetic twats buy this shit

The billionaire one is kinda easy

Sports betting to get your base funds up to a decent level then buy the shares in the successful tech companies post dot-com crash. Wouldn’t hurt to buy some gold and bitcoin too.

Sports betting would continue helping you live a lavish lifestyle until all the investment income gets to a good level.

If you do well enough, you should be able to amplify what you’ve already made to acquire an absurd amount of wealth on the subprime mortgage crash in 2008.

I assume the recruiters use the sex offender register as LinkedIn

Tbf there being lettuce in there is somewhat unconventional in the UK

If there’s any greenery it’s often cress

Though that’s now an egg & cress rather than an egg mayo

If you want to do it legally, pretty much internet radio is what’s left given that list. Though you seem to have missed Deezer from your list, I think they have a free tier, so that’s worth a look.

Oh also SoundCloud depending what kind of thing you listen to.

Illegally, the world is your oyster

This looks a lot like defamation or libel to someone who isn’t a lawyer

Why are they not suing this guy into the ground?

Nope sadly, AI needs GPUs and it makes up the bulk of sales of these chips now.

It would be suicide for any of the companies that could make these processors to not go after the biggest market. The result of a company not doing that would be watching all their competitors grow and advance their products whilst their company’s value drops and products stagnate, possibly to a point that recovery to competitiveness would be hard if not impossible.

I’m good with the ActivityPub threadiverse tyvm

Primary sources tend to disagree

Here’s a study from 2019 about it that backs up my assertion that more is conservative https://academic.oup.com/joc/article/69/2/168/5425470

And of that propaganda being created, that conservative inclined people are most likely to fall for it: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20563051231220330

There seem to be plenty of other papers that more or less reach those same conclusions with a good number of citations, but I can’t find anything really at all on Google Scholar concluding the opposite with a quick search, let alone something also credible.

The closest some papers come is saying that they try groups all over the political spectrum, as their goal is disunity ultimately, but they seemingly don’t really have any kind of continued success with misinforming those groups anywhere near as effectively. They more or less all end up concluding that most of the propaganda targets conservatives, because they’re the ones that fall for it.

Remember every time we find Putin backed propaganda outside of Russia in the wild, it’s nearly always boosting predominantly conservative viewpoints versus anything else.

Outside of their borders they’re more interested in people fighting with each other than anything like coming together. Right wing politics is how they do that

There’s no normal, just a bland mean, small modes and increasingly unfortunate medians

Many people mask to be closer to the mean when they fear rejection

Whole fruits are pretty healthy in reasonable moderation

if you gorge on 3 boxes of grapes you’re still gonna have smashed through over a thousand calories

The big caveat is fruit juices which remove all the fiber that makes you feel full, particularly anything concentrated.

At that point you’re getting closer to a soft drink than fruit (though you’ll still at least get the vitamins)

Basically every politically motivated terrorist attack this century came from the right-wing.

People like him promoting right wing ideology are the dangerous enemies of the US population
