If this is what they are doing with the AI, what do you think they are doing with the much simpler and easier to control algorithm that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are seen by others?

the shocking part to me is that if you buy a house with a 50 year mortgage the day you turn 20 (lol), you will be making mortgage payments until you are 70.
because most people only earn money through employment, many are going to be de facto locked out of retirement.

Let's say you take out a $400,000 mortgage loan at 6.25% - and choose a 50-year mortgage instead of 30 years.
In return for saving $283 monthly, you will pay an extra $421,302 in interest over the life of the loan.
Or if you sell at 15 years, will have paid down just $29,000 in equity. Not good.

INGRAHAM: Is a 50 year mortgage really a good idea?
TRUMP: It's not even a big deal. You go from 40 to 50 years. All it means is you pay less per month

i think left wing candidates with a strong vision, and messaging translated directly into real folks' material conditions, dont have to compromise on social issues to win. just say "it's none of my business, i love them how they were made", bait reactionaries to harp on minorities instead of housing

Good morning.
Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos.
But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong.
A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

a big way that post-9/11 islamophobia manifests in regular folks is that every hadith some fringe branch of a branch of a branch of islam accepts represents all muslims, when like, judaism and esp. christianity have similarly regressive ultra-orthodox/extremist branches we "no true scotsman" fallacy
Jfc. Her islamophobia is off the charts. One of her Insta stories is a Londoner talking about Sadiq Khan imposing no-go zones and sharia courts in London.

As socialism gets more popular in the US watch who the capitalists are willing to promote and team with to protect themselves
the thing about the Fuentes 'feud' or whatever it is...is that it ultimately helps him. he's getting the attention he wants which is akin to legitimacy. more normies in my life have now heard of him and i just don't think attention works the way it did with like, David Duke, say.
