Looking through their post history they are either non-native English speaker who is a bit of a polymath but without the actual math part or an LLM someone is having fun with reusing a prompt they devised or copied.

At least their language and tone are constant across posts, albeit a bit inscrutable. FWIW, I did get the dark humor in their/its post.

While 700k may look like a lot (and by most objective measures it is), the skill set needed to run a successful non/not for profit is actually quite unique no matter how big or small it is. They do not work not like “normal” CEOs. Replace caring about share price, and moving the share price up effectively versus caring about voluntary donations from people who get nothing out of but perhaps a tax break. And you’re competing not against other equities (stocks); you’re competing against other non/not for profits for limited money and attention.

Anyway, just saying I do not begrudge that level of compensation to the people running the last corner of the internet not filled with AI slop.

Yes see comment above.

You’re getting downvoted but I think what you need to understand is that China can do nothing, and that still helps Russia. Instead, they are trading with them and keeping their economy afloat. They don’t have to send men/material to help.

Endless Sky. Open source and crowd developed. Its story lines, assets, and general size have only increased with age. Active Discord server as well (but it’s only single player, for now anyway).

FWIW, I have multiple things I should go to in the USA coming up, and neither I nor my family are willing to risk it. My two (young adult) children and I have dual USA - EU country citizenship. My wife had a green card when she lived with me in NYC for over a decade, but turned it in when we moved back long ago. These facts (let alone what my posting history is like) are just too much for us. We won’t risk it.

It’s kind of like a plane crash: very unlikely to happen but you are equally unlikely to walk away unhurt.

DM me I’ll send you details.

There is zero chance he’s kissing the ring. And I agree thinking he would convert Trump would be naive, but I don’t think that was it either.

Generally speaking, the last person the orange fascist speaks with gets his attention for X amount of time. He was either doing that about something very specific, or possibly it was more of an intelligence operation, finding out what the fascist’s next step around a specific issue is.

Anyway that’s based on knowing Alexander fairly well. But, it could also be the other European leaders said to him “hey man, we did our trip to that asshole, now it’s your turn!” (the last guess is from my wife, who knows him a bit better/longer than me).

Sneaky yes, but naive Alexander is absolutely not.

Who says those SIGNT flights are for Ukraine anymore?

The thing is, the US has 100,000 troops and god knows how much military materiel in Europe. America leaves NATO, you think they are just going to pick up all their people and stuff and go because we ask them to politely?

We need a European army yesterday.

Otherwise on the current track the US will be unable to service it’s debt.

Not as long as virtually all commodities trade in USD and USD remains the world’s reserve currency. I do get your broader point about any “revenue” raised by tariffs.

Hey, if they get traction, it’s a start.

The ironic thing is that all we in Europe have done is wave a carrot in front of Turkey’s face saying “reform and join us” when the reality is once we admitted CY, there was no fucking way Turkey was getting in without giving back the land they stole (and by stole, I mean stole wholesale.)

Turkey was in Russia due to its strangle hold on the exit from the Black Sea.

We have misses now…

Bold of you to assume there will be free and fair elections in four years.

There is one thing this orange demon gibbon could do, and OFAC knows it: make it illegal to bunker these ships. Wilbur Ross was the shit monkey’s Sec Tres for a while, and he was a major ship owner and taught OFAC how it works.

It’s a nuclear option though, and nobody actually, really, wants to cut off this much oil from the world’s supply. That would cause inflation even worse than the dickcheese asshole’s deportation plans. So, I’m betting it won’t happen.

What will happen is he will give Israel permission to go full warfare with Iran.

You can also search for “starter packs” of helpful people to follow in whatever you are interested in, e.g., history, cooking, overthrowing the government, etc.

Um, you know those companies can sell weapons and craft to other countries right? Trump will still be happy for Europeans to buy weapons.

…and they are BIG!
