Essentially, they’re writing $1,000,000 on a piece of paper and declaring it to be worth the full amount of the debt. The bank issuing this “coupon” being themselves, who can totally back this coupon’s worth.
Kinda like if tried to pay your bills with monopoly money.
A currency as a “negotiable instrument” only works because:
A. Everyone agrees that it does,
B. Because the controller of the currency has value with which to back the currency
B is less important these days with Fiat currency, but A is essential.
Unless you’re a country’s central bank, nothing you make as a “negotiable instrument” is going to be recognised as such - and even if it was, if you’ve no valuabke resource with which to back it up, it’s worthless, so nobody would want it.
I feel sorry for these people because I do get the sentiment behind it. They feel like they’re being screwed over and want a way to fight back - but if it were this easy, everybody would be doing it.
Yup. Autocorrect strikes again
I agree with the OOP, it should be lit… on fire
Edit: damn you autocorrect
So their punishment to other countries for recognising Palestine is to intensify their Palestinian genocide?
How can anyone see this and not realise that this whole thing was never about Hamas, they were just an excuse to finally get the ball rolling.
Took me a minute, but it actually isn’t that bad. The size of the last two sections represent the additional % on top of the previous…
Having said that, there must’ve been a better, less confusing way to represent this data
Isn’t this the same old “ThE eCoNoMy Is DoInG gReAt, WhY aRe YoU cOmPlAiNiNg?” BS as always?
The average person doesn’t care how well the rich people’s game is going if they’re struggling to afford their groceries because of said rich people’s game.
The mainstream consoles nowadays basically are locked-down computers anyway, so makes sense that people are skipping the live-services middleman and going straight to PC
Unless you care about exclusives, then PCs are the better all-rounder IMO, and don’t need a yearly payment on top of your internet bill
I was just surprised to see el cheapo in the wild - though for a cheap backpack it’s surprisingly durable, out-lasted some of my nicer packs haha
Jafar my guy, just order the Sultan to make gay marriage legal than order him to marry you - problem solved without being just shy of a pedo.
Whelp, we’re one step ever closer to terminators. Just gotta let Boston Dynamics cook now
Honestly, if you replaced those olives with pepper slices, and that “Queso” with something that looked slightly less artificial than the hotdog its covering, that might not be so bad.
Tell you what, your avatar pic is awfully appropriate right now
Sorry to derail, but what a coincidence, I think I might have that very same cross-body bag
This reads like something a Sovereign citizen would write.
The first amendment allows you to say whatever you want without threat of arrest, but it doesn’t give carte blanche to do whatever you want whilst saying it.
If you’re on private property after closing time to the public, then you’re trespassing, regardless of why you’re there.
The threat of arrest is something you have to accept if you’re going to protest in a disruptive way - the ones you’re protesting against will do anything they legally can to get you to stop.
It always sucks to know you paid more than the seller did - but that just means Oxfam undervalued the book.
Having worked in one, charity shops tend to have a habit of either really undervaluing or overvaluing their donated goods - cause the people who actually set the prices mostly just guess based on looks and nothing more. Only if an item looks expensive will they do any research, and even then never really enough.
Exactly. The big problem with LLMs is that they’re so good at mimicking understanding that people forget that they don’t actually have understanding of anything beyond language itself.
The thing they excel at, and should be used for, is exactly what you say - a natural language interface between humans and software.
Like in your example, an LLM doesn’t know what a cat is, but it knows what words describe a cat based on training data - and for a search engine, that’s all you need.
While I’m not in the business of defending rich folks, but there is a reason a lot of child celebrities tend to go off the deep end - having never being certain of your privacy is probably maddening.
Caitlyn Jenner is basically a right-wing token trans person that for some reason hates all other LGBT+ people… So if this is real then in all likely hood it unfortunately isn’t satire
I find it hard to grasp how these folks just don’t seem to notice what a grifter Trump actually is.
Nobody with a moral backbone could ever do half the stuff Trump did before, during, and after his presidency.
