Lots of good gems, this one got me:

1980 - Alan Kay creates Smalltalk and invents the term “object oriented.” When asked what that means he replies, “Smalltalk programs are just objects.” When asked what objects are made of he replies, “objects.” When asked again he says “look, it’s all objects all the way down. Until you reach turtles.”

I see an angry bat

Tbf, some of it would be broken down and dealt with by fungus, there are some that can eat through some plastics.

So not necessarily a person

You have no idea how much I want to have this conversation.

I was told our rights to travel or go outside won’t return.

I was told that I would be immune compromised for taking an experimental vaccine.

Can we now get everyone to admit some people were very wrong during COVID?

When you eat too much, perhaps change to another type of cheese for a bit?

I’ll take some of that special rights and privileges without being part of EU as well.

Really? Cause I was thinking climate solving, fusion powered sex robots.

The smart phone doesn’t do one thing, why shouldn’t my robot?

I have Immich that has AI searching for my photos. Pretty useful for finding stuff actually

China will overtake US as the dominant economic power, exert their influence on neighbouring regions and get more push back than it thought (similar to Russia).

The world will fracture into different regions with different day to day life (even more so).

US will become the wild Wild West where everything goes in the right state.

Canada and Europe (western not Eastern) will stay put in terms of peace, but they will no longer have “the best standard of living”.

Africa will get abused by China and become the next China.

Australia will be like, wtf mate, but they’ll be dead soon… stupid kangaroos.

Doesn’t surprise me, the plot is rather weak.

Why is dating an oligarch a good thing?

But saying eat the rich on Reddit is like a tradition.

This will probably piss off a lot of soon to be lemmy users.

Overmorrow.

I hate saying the day after tomorrow like some peasant.

And that sums up why so many shady characters are pro crypto.

They want the government out of the way so you know, they can do crime or almost crime easily.

Was looking for this

So tariffs go on consumer goods, so it’s like a consumer goods tax.

He has said before that he likes the idea of pre income tax America where tariffs paid for a small government.

Well, when you decrease income tax in favor of consumption tax, lower income folks tend to contribute more in that situation than rich people given how they spend most of their money on shit they need.

So it’s a wealth transfer, kind of boring once you realize their plan comes down to: more money for the rich, like, every single time…

Hey remember that wall that didn’t get built?

The fact that no one is trolling him about it shows how people are weirdly compliant about all this.

It’s always darkest before the dawn.

How I interpret it is that when things get bad, and reach a new level of bad, that could be just what is needed for the pendulum to swing the other way, and swing extra hard.

Kind of like a Great Depression giving labour laws kind of a thing.

Gives me hope.

This one’s my favourite
