Does Fountain actually have a queue or playlist feature? I tried to pay premium because it advertised a playlist feature, but I couldn't figure out how to use it. I know there's a tagging/bookmarking feature but that's not what I'm looking for. I want a traditional playlist so that I can listen to podcasts one after another.

Its one of the few reasons why I still use AntennaPod as my primary pod catcher. I basically only use Fountain to stream sats to creators that accept it.

America is so far ahead of the rest of the world man, It's crazy

Those HIMARS systems are LIKE PLAYING GOD. They fit on Lokheed Martin Jets, attach to normal trucks and fire accurate missles 150km with 6 missles or 300km with 1 missle. That's crazy. Imagine being 300km away and some bad boy from a truck fires a missle precisely onto you. Like a blue shell in Mario Kart.

It's really no wonder that Russians are retreating after Ukraine got these. I don't think China will dare to touch Taiwan after the west displayed being so far ahead technologically. This can only happen in free market capitalism.

I am not an arms expert but I have to imagine we'd be surprised by China's war capabilities. They literally manufacture everything. A few well placed advanced drones might easily sink our multi-billion dollar aircraft carriers.

Real talk: The ECB raised rates today. And its rising at an alarming rate. Its probably a coincidence, but they let everyone borrow money at increasingly lower interest rates over the last decade. This money has made its way into the pockets of the elite by now. The middle class just have debt and "assets" now and the rising rates will are likely to cause most assets to drop in value. If you were an evil genius and wanted to extract as much value from the European middle class as possible as fast as possible that's how you would do it imo.

For many people with traditional portfolios they should work-out how to short the market. Nasdaq and S&P500 will be down another 50% in 6 months time. Many many companies will go under. There are many inverse products out there and many zombie companies to target.

Your Bitcoin stash is all well and good, but being on the other side when stonks and asset prices collapse at the fastest rate in history is going to go someway to offset the decreased standards of living in the coming years. Arthur Hayes' post about having BTC as an exit is spot-on but having some fiat to play around with will also help significantly. Not even brrr can stop this in the next 6 months. Governments are actively driving the economy into the ground for now, under the cover of 'getting inflation down'.

Correct. They won't stop until they cause chaos. In the Sovereign Individual, of which I have a summary here on StackerNews, the playbook is as follows:

The economic consequence of this transition crisis will probably include a one-time spike in real interest rates. Debtors will be squeezed as long-term liabilities contracted under the old system are liquidated.
Governments facing serious competition to their currency monopolies will probably seek to underprice the for-fee cybercurrencies by tightening credits and offering savers higher real yields on cash balances in national currencies.
Higher real rates around the world will spur liquidation of high-cost, unproductive activities and temporarily reduce consumption.
The deflationary environment may drag on for some time, with more adverse consequences in the high-cost industrial economies of North America and Western Europe than in the low-cost economies in Asia and Latin America.

It's not something I completly decided, even if i was lean to chosse that path, was life itself what drove me to the actual situation, and can't say less than I'm happy to be as sovereign or in the path of sovereignity as i wouldn't imagine possible
