i bought a nokia g400 (release date 2022, $180) which has way better specs than pine, and it's android one which is basically stock OS with no third party crapware

that just worked straight out of the box, meanwhile pine phone wiki is like "you may need to use a burner phone to activate your SIM before moving it to the pine phone"

u can tell what ppl are supposed to look like. those tribal guys in weird natgeo "precontact" or w/e villages are thin as hell. thats what default ppl look like i think. without all them burgers. im of "normal" weight btw

I've seen pics of myself when i was teaching in Africa in my mid 20s. Skinny as gently caress when usually I always had a little bit of weight.

Not eating cheese, drinking dairy, or or consuming processed foods does loving wonders.

Plus wealth that old is going to have their money in a wide variety of tax vehicles that aren't directly tied to any individual's name. It's stupid as hell to claim that there are no Vanderbilt descendant millionaires when like, Anderson Cooper is a Vanderbilt directly descended from that specific guy they mention and is a millionaire and on TV every day.

I mean I think you're right in general but according to Anderson

quote:

Following his mom's death in June 2019, Anderson inherited a mere $1.5 million of the once estimated $200 billion (in today's money) Vanderbilt fortune.

He is a multi millionaire tho.

this unlocked a core memory of when my parents bought me a DOS game called "Capitalism" when I was a kid, probably hoping to teach me how to survive in the economy or something

I remember it shared a passing resemblance to more normal simulation games of the time like Sim City, Sim Tower, or Sim Farm, but when you started playing you realized it was definitely designed in hell by demons to torture children













My equivalent was this weird but sort of charming DOS game:



Whoever was in charge of art direction was a very odd guy:

President Biden will not run for re-election during a tumultuous year that will see parts of the country suffer rolling blackouts, the release of an inhaled COVID vaccine and a boycott over driverless cars, a top JPMorgan Chase strategist predicted.

Michael Cembalest, who heads the market and investment strategy unit in the Wall Street bank’s asset management division, made the shocking forecasts in his list of ‘Ten Surprises’ for 2024 over the weekend.

Tops among the budding Nostradamus’ prophesies was that 81-year-old Biden will drop out of the race “sometime between Super Tuesday and the November election, citing health concerns.”

Probably baked in if it happened that late, but his prediction specifically calls for the DNC appointing a replacement.

It’s her turn. No, not you, Kamala.
