the opportunity costs of car ownership are massive if you invested the ~$1k/mo average cost of car ownership - over 20 years, you'll have $460k at 6% interest, v. wasting $240k on car ownership. that's a swing of $700k folks. e-bikes are an incredible investment.

W.E.B. Du Bois: "We should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires, but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of public schools, and the number of people who can -- and do -- read worthwhile books" (1953)

The stories we tell shape the world we live in. From Hollywood blockbusters to right-wing grifters, white supremacy recycles the same myths to stay in control. My latest video breaks down how—and it’s live now on YouTube <3 youtu.be/FJWecaagUg8

@hardwareunboxed.bsky.social I was told you have a video (or maybe series of videos?) that explore the concept of "what if you bought the more expensive card back then" vs "what if you bought a cheaper card and then upgraded in between" but I can't seem to find it. Do you have a link to one?

i was asked why the democrats are so set on losing strategies, & sadly they are not, they are winning. they are one of two parties of capital, funded by the same rich donor class. as long as their class interests aren't threatened they only care about elections in terms of personal career ambitions

People don’t believe me when I say this anti-vaccine movement is rooted in ableism and eugenics EVERYONE needs to unlearn and fast. The basis for them is it’s better to be dead than disabled.

Anti-vaccination rhetoric is also a policy failure. Healthcare is so expensive people turn to alternative healthcare settings and groups which lead them to conspiracy theories and the alt-right.

"We must understand [homosexuality] in its purest form: that is, a person should have the freedom to use his body in whatever way he wants. [Maybe I'm] injecting some of my prejudice by saying that “even a homosexual can be a revolutionary.” [...] maybe a homosexual could be the most revolutionary."

A theme I've been hearing recently, talking to people who worked on games that took 6+ years to make, is that they always made calls thinking they had much less time. Then the game kept slipping, but they were still stuck with those old calls. So six years of development is never really six years

Sorry if this is mean. But it is bonkers to me that a team of talented creatives can spend years making what looks like an incredible game and then send it out into the world with a title like "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33"

Ita never been clearer. America is a hostile nation now. Kick their troops out of Europe and break off as much contact as possible. As a nation, it can not be trusted. Fully a fascist nation after decades of build up, America has finally died.

If one guy holds most of the tech people rely on, it is a vulnerability, but also it's one guy: as a global population we should be able to easily just take it from him, so it seems to me the real vulnerability is an internalized belief that private ownership is more sacrosanct than human thriving.

Man, am I glad I don't live in NYC if they swap Adams for Cuomo. A lateral move of unchecked corruption. Neither party gives a damn about abusers and the victims of abuse. It's all theater.
