soon you won't even own your own [...] home furnishings

This has been a thing for poor folks for a long time now. once they successfully wipe out the pesky middle class it will be a reality for everyone.

Regarding clothes, the low quality fast fashion makes clothes essentially disposable, so consumers don't really own clothes anymore also.

'arrested at 1:30am'

That was his mistake. Do it at 10am on a weekday with cones and a high vis vest and they wouldn't have noticed for a couple months.

Trumps plan to get out of Vietnam:

"Daddy, can you get me out of Vietnam?"

Isn't that the point? When you focus on fixing other peoples problems, you get to ignore you own. Right?

not to mention there was a TON of variety in hunting practices as indigenous populations vary widely.

here is an interesting book about the subject (on my to read list) https://archive.org/details/ecologicalindian0000krec

it counts as a donation, he gets to deduct it

Jesus, I agree with Rand Paul. Its fucking scary when he is the reasonable one in a political discussion.

Looks really slick, there are some really nice looking features shown. I do have some concerns though.

First, it requires playstore to be installed. I try to degoogle my device as much as possible so Im not sure this would even work with MicroG Services.

Second it seems like a proprietary software built on Open Source platform. Right now they claim they dont do anything with our data, but that is one policy update from, 'actually the data we have been collecting is now actually worth something sooo....'

Lastly, as a proprietary software company they have this pesky link at the bottom of their page Pricing. Currently it doesnt link to anything, and honestly that has me more worried than if it just showed a page that said we are trying to figure out how to make money off our users, and we dont know how yet. I dont have an issue paying for software I use. There are a couple open source projects I pay monthly/yearly fees to. I just prefer it to be up front. If they said they were open sourcing the code and want a subscription fee, I would be on board. No plan is kinda sketchy.

And still.

Isn't this a question of hubris? The title claims that "Rational People Do Worse", but wouldn't a rational person surmise that there is some information/mechanism they don't have access to that the computer does in order to achieve the success rate claimed? In that case the rational choice would be to claim the single box.

The other factor not addressed is the $1k vs $1m. The calculus changes a lot based on these amounts. If it was 10 bucks vs the chance to win millions? that's the lottery. if it were $10k it be a lot harder to walk away from that.

As a thought experiment, its a lot easier to say what you think the answer should be, actually making that choice when there is real money is psychologically different.

The fact that he tried to shoehorn in supply and demand just shows how this person is an actual conservative.

It really makes no sense especially in this era where we have fake descent on both sides generated by AI.

While I probably disagree with most of his politics, I appreciate the fact that he stands up and says Trump is a fucking crook.

I know that place. Small world.
