It feels like this is a rage bait engagement ploy. Frontload the video with bullshit (again, projecting, because these same claims are levied against the last election in favor of 47), then put some rage bait shit at the end that the press runs too. The outrage bounces off of Teflon while his audience & the people pissed signal boost / raise engagement.

Why is “don’t” censored a bunch in the Epstein file? I wonder… 🤔

See Trump 1, week 1, “alternative facts.”

Doublespeak, as someone said.

I was included in this. Was laid off back in June 2025. One of the best places I ever worked.

The industry is super tough. I got very lucky & started a new job at the beginning of the month. Being out of work for 6 months sucked, and some people I mentor have been out much longer.

If you think about it as “What’s the percentage chance that 1 of 4 family members is a sociopath? What’s the percentage that 2 family members are sociopaths?”, then I think it has to be less than 4%. Genetics make it more likely than 4% * 4%, I think.

For years, I’ve heard people say, “What? You want to outlaw wealth?”

This level of wealth? Yes. Tax it at 99% above 1bn.

You won the money game. Stop playing it. Help society.

Billionaire math

Average USA billionaire has about $7b in wealth.

2026 * 365 ‎ = 739,490

$7,000,000,000 / 739,490‎ = $9,465.98

You would need to make $9k per day, for 2026 years, to catch up to the average billionaire wealth right now.

It’s estimated in 2026 that it would cost $37b to end world hunger until 2030.

Also note that Musk, Bezos, and other extreme billionaires are up to 100x of the average here ($700b for Musk). Who is making $900k per day?

This is not natural, it’s not rational, and it’s completely bullshit. You can come up with whatever distraction you want (“wealth & income aren’t the same”), but we should be taxing every dollar above $1b at 99% or higher.

30 years * 365 day = 10,950

$1,000,000,000 / 10,950 ‎ = $91,324.20

I could easily live off of $91k per DAY for 30 YEARS.

If you put these numbers against a human time scale we can understand, I don’t see the argument for this level of wealth, especially not as people go hungry, without clothes or food, and children die.

I like how he said “WE’RE SCREWED.”

We’re? Homie, this is your plan, your Independence Day or whatever, your leadership. Why aren’t YOU screwed? /rhetorical

Classic narcissist BS.

“Drug Cartels”

Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.

I think you’d have to change the goals of the game based on whoever last positively or negatively interacted with him. Something like “+Military attack vs. the last player with a negative interaction; -Military attack vs all other players,” where the bonus is ever changing.

It seems like he’d have gold earnings at the cost of reduced production domestically. But also some push-pull, like every 50 gold generates 1 unhappiness, with costal cities generating twice as much unhappiness.

I’d want to see some other dice roll mechanic that changes the Civ every 2-3 turns. It would probably be something around culture, but now the character’s mechanics are a little crowded.

For units, it appears they’d use a battleship that’s a complete disaster and not actually helpful. There’s probably also something like a priest / culture bomb unit, like you can send an influencer which causes unhappiness in other states when it gets to a city (sort of like a spy).

Roblox is insane in scale & mostly invisible to anyone older than 23. Right now, some of the peak 24hr concurrent on Steam charts is:

• CS2: 1.5m
• DOTA2: 1.2m
• PUBG: 670k
• ARC Raiders: 420k
• Rust: 235k

These are insane, but Grow A Garden regularly has 2m concurrent every weekend. Adopt Me or Brookhaven can have north of 1m on weekend, especially if they update. Roblox Concerts regularly have 2m or more.

I have 3 kids, and I worked at a well-known Roblox video game company (Top 5). People in our generation just do not know, unless they have kids and definitely know.

Agreed here. Why bring in gender at all?

Fuck yeah, math homie. Thank you.

Grazie.

To connect with my sister’s widow. She killed herself last year, was an international translator (spoke 12), and her husband & son both speak Italian. I’m trying to learn mostly to connect with the husband because her son is still very young (7).

She (and her husband) both inherited from executive parents. It’s pretty easy to critique a system she never knew, a system where she likely never looked for a job her entire life. She’s in the top 250 of the Forbes 400.

Watching this evolve over the last year has been crazy. I’ve said to family & friends: people can take completely banal photos and turn them into porno scenes. This was true in the past, but the speed, quality, and volume is tuned waaaay up compared to past uses of similar tech.

Once teenage boys understand this tech more broadly, we are going to have serious issues. We’ve had stories over the last few years, but I think this will become a societal issue. The consequences of making & distrusting porn of minors are bad (as they should be), but I bet a lot of dumb young boys will recreate their peers without fully comprehending the seriousness.

Likewise, I have 3 young girls. Watching this tech develop: it’s deeply troubling & disheartening. Again, all of this could have been done before, but it feels like a Pandora’s box.
