idk in my admittedly limited experience employers have been perfectly open about what they pay.

If u hate watch something video platforms will feed u more of it to get angry at because engagement is engagement, and thats great for them but bad for ur mental well being, if u want to avoid this sorta shit u have to go out of ur way to not watch it when u see it hit not interested on it that kinda shit, i promise as the kind of person who gets baited by this kinda shit it will make ur life better to not hate watch stuff.

The great man theory shit is especially insane here because Putin was literally allowed into power by Russian and western oligarchs as a compromise to the Russian people to prevent communism from coming back. Its actually hard to even imagine a more clear example of important people being a result of their societies and conditions rather than the other way around.

I never found eggs to be expensive but i do hate eggs and only use them to make desserts, and some people i know have been complaining that they have gotten expensive so idk. Much more interestingly at least for me how much is rice in Vietnam i used to be able to get a 20 lbs sack for like $3 here (on sale but it last so long that u can always get it on sale before u need more) but after covid even $15 is rare, its still ok cuz it was so cheap to begin with but 5x the price in 4 years hurts.

Its a mystery why this could possibly be

i mean theres also no disadvantage to keeping it whatever country u move to will almost certainly have a higher tax rate than the federal tax rate so its not like u loose anything. Renouncing ur citizenship is mostly a symbolic thing anyways, some countries dont even let u do it.

what do u mean wtf, did u think that just because their goals of stopping the american empire aligned with ours they were "good guys", the Russian government has always had a very close relationship with israel, and has always been very supportive of it.

To clarify when u say "AI" do u mean llms and diffusion models cuz if u mean ai as a whole then u are simply wrong ai is hugely useful, has been around for decades, and is widely used in basically everything u can imagine. If by ai u specifically mean llms and diffusion models, then let me clarify that yes these models do in fact exists and let me further clarify that "AI" is just a term these models are in no way "intelligent" just in case thats what u mean by "exists", and yeah many of their purported uses are scams tho some are not, the REAL use of llms and diffusion models from the perspective of capitalist is to fire a bunch of people because "ai can do their jobs now" and then hire them right back at a much lower salary to do the same job but as prompt engineers, just like they did with translators back when google translate became viable(which is also ai btw).

ima be real with u i didnt even know there was a snowpircer tv show i thought this was about the movie, i thought it looked a bit weird but it has been a while since i saw the movie so i thought i was just forgetting things.

Also yeah For All Mankind completely fucking lost its mind after a while, i also had to stop watching it half way thru, for me it was the show trying to make me give a shit about the veteran guy's struggle with the fact that he almost faced consequences for being a murderer in Korea, and talking about gulags it drove me nuts that they had russian guy tell an african american woman about how bad gulags are, years after the gulag system had already been abolished, just pure projection and delusion.
