I don’t think that’s possible. So much is being spent on AI, that the amount of revenue it needs to generate is unreachable. Either lots of money starts coming in soon, or the ability to spend $100s of billions more evaporates. If the bubble were to continue for 10 years, it would have to have generated enough revenue to survive, while continuing to spend more than it could ever make.

You mean you don’t want to give the fascist David Ellison any money?!? Me either :)

I thought that the Earth was molten rock, then cooled, then rained/flooded, and then sometime later, single cell organisms/life.

The ‘Prosperity Gospel’ does not align with Christian views. But it exists to allow “Christians” (heavy reliance on those quotes) to believe that having immense wealth is a sign that they are one of the chosen. These are the types of mental gymnastics certain people utilize to allow horrible anti-Christian behavior. Soon enough, you see Republicans having a little prayer session before they give massive tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy while taking health care away from millions.

Bought lifetime membership 11/12 years ago. Never had a problem. I need a VPN with dedicated IP to deal with the double NAT from my ISP, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Started at 3. Now 48. Contacts since 13. Prescription varies, but somewhere around -7.0 to -8.0 in each eye. Contacts give more natural vision, but took a bit to get used to. I have been able to touch my eye without blinking for 20+ years. Doc is now telling me to add reading glasses to my contacts. Contacts will reduce the headaches, but will take some time to get used to. Good luck!

Yeah, if we can sanction a country and seize their assets, we can do the same to the billionaires. Plus there are very few countries where it would be as cheap or cheaper than the US for them.

Go to the bar, drink, tip well. At least the bartenders will want to socialize when they can, even if only for their own self interests (tips). Also, other patrons might be in the same boat, and you can commiserate over drinks!
