Maybe we’re strawmaning each other. I would be fine with a 1-2% tax on billionaire wealth that’s sitting as unrealized gains.

Taxing me on the value of my house is absolutely similar to taxing unrealized gains. If my house gained value that doesn’t mean my income did. There is no guarantee that I can afford it. I can’t sell my house to pay the tax. The same arguments used to defend billionaires applies to me as well, but somehow we’re supposed to feel bad for them but we’re ok with the middle class paying essentially the same thing as unrealized gains on the asset they own that’s mostly likely 99% of their net worth.

Can you tell me what is broken with expecting someone that holds $100b in unrealized gains to pay %1 tax on it

That’s all great but then why the fuck am I paying property tax on my house that is mostly unrealized gains. Before you go arguing to abolish property tax, I’m fine with it. My property tax goes to make my neighbor better, and provide services and schooling for my neighbors.

Billionaires become rich because their companies benefit from highways, regulated internet, a public educated work force, etc… so they should pay their fare share.

Taxing unrealized gains for 99% is ok, it should be the same for the 1%.

I sent a rot13 encoded message and tried to get the unfiltered model to write me back in rot13. It immediately “thought” about user trying to bypass filtering and then it refused.

I tried sending an encoded message to the unfiltered model and asked it to reply encoded as well but the man in the middle filter detected the attempt and scolded me. I didn’t get an email though.

So they need to keep the victim’s card next to one phone, and then they can use another internet connected phone elsewhere to make a purchase. Doesn’t sound that scary to me. If they already have my card then does it matter how far away they can make a purchase?

Still don’t understand how artists pulled this off back in the day. Did she pose there the whole day? Even then the sun would move.

So many details it looks like a photo.

Who has this many friends willing to jump into a creek fully clothed

Vonesh instead of Borgers is not a misspelling. He either botched a find and replace because he just copy pasted from someone else, or he used GPT and it hallucinated random shit.

Hold the phone far away/squint to make the image a bit blurry. You will have a come to Jesus moment.

The details distract your brain from seeing the underlying image. When you squint you can’t see details so brain can suddenly see the hidden image.

People have made these before but AI is just 100x better at hallucinating in details so the effect is really strong.

How is rat pee coming into contact with open wounds or mucous membranes? Wtf.

How much do the drones cost Iran? $10M a piece to take them down is crazy expensive. If Iran can churn these out at $1m a pop, they can out produce the defense.

Copy the url, then try stopping the telegram app. See if incognito still detects the app. I know discord web on PC will detect a running discord app by connecting to a local listening port. Not sure if that’s possible on mobile but if you terminate the app it should prevent that.

Security as an excuse to be secretive is almost always a misdirection from the real cause. Esp when it involves a private company selling the “security”.

Civil rights groups are critical to keep tabs on this shit.

Thank you for providing some sources. I haven’t read it all yet and most of the links don’t mention offers from Hamas. But I did see on Feb 20 Hamas offered to release some hostages in return for a temporary ceasefire and return of Hamas prisoners. This was rejected by Netanyahu.

Source on previous offers from Hamas?

Is this funny intentionally? They barely fit in the cabin and it gives me wholesome funny vibes. The texture on the fabric is incredible btw.

I’m hopeful this is just someone being wholesome and funny

I wonder why it took this long. Did Putin just want to torture him? Why did Putin keep him around for this long.

You clap with your wrists? My condolences.
