Maybe I can offer you a different perspective. Jews have a culture built around things that are highly correlated with professional success (family, community ties, academic achievement, critical thinking, etc.) As a result Jews are over-represented in all fields - medicine, law, literature, media, science, engineering, and yes, banking. There is no conspiracy, they just get up earlier, work harder, sacrifice today so that their children will be better off tomorrow, build community structures that lift everyone up, etc. Most people that don't like them are just jealous. I prefer to learn from them instead of being a whiny little bitch.

Most Zionists are Jews and most Jews are Zionists. After WWII it became less fashionable to say that Jews controlled everything so "Jews" was replaced with "Zionists", but the accusations are fundamentally the same so I'm gonna assume that it's a thin veil for antisemitism. You're welcome to prove me wrong of course but it's gonna take more than a photo of a few Jews that oppose the state of Israel. That community is really small.

I will say it's refreshing to be on a platform where you can say what's on your mind without censorship. I love free speech even if I think what you have to say is vile :-)

Of course they control the US Government. They're a really talented bunch of little devils. What I find really impressive is that with all the stuff controlled by the Jews (I know you said Zionists but if you knew what the word meant you'd understand that it encompasses the vast majority of Jews) you're somehow still here. I mean, they control everything, the banks, the media, the lasers, even the beepers apparently... How is it that you manage to evade them?

Got a problem with Zionists?

To be honest I'm not sure that's a bad thing. How is forcing small businesses to accept bitcoin very different from forcing them to accept the dollar? Because I have a preference for bitcoin? I'd say that legal tender laws are a violation of freedom of association.

There's a ton of research on the health benefits of long-term fasting. I do have to say I felt great afterward.

Four day fast. Only water with some salts added to replenish electrolytes. I did two three-day fasts a long time ago and it a rough time starting day two. The electrolytes made all the difference.

Honey badger don't care. Musk is the honey badger. He does and says what he wants to, because he doesn't need to care what anyone thinks of him. Good for him.

The interwebs don't reward nuance.

Thanks!

Is there an alternative to Bloomberg for ordinary people who don't want to spend a fortune?

A somewhat related question... the first chart you provide... Is that from a Bloomberg terminal?

Do the majority of people on Guam want independence? Are there any polls with hard numbers?

What about keeping territories but putting them behind a paywall. As the internet becomes shittier by the day, I would be willing to shell out sats for access to a high quality knowledge base on a variety of topics.

I feel like I'm the only person who is not excited by AI.

I'd explain that some people are less fortunate and there is a moral obligation to help them. Doesn't have to be by giving money, could be a job, or food, etc. I'd also explain that this moral obligation doesn't grant the dude a corresponding right to my money, and that believing otherwise is a slippery slope to communism.

I come to stacker news to escape the enshittified web, but I think the beautiful thing about SN is that instead of hard rules, people vote with their sats. On the other hand, the current cost of posting probably isn't high enough to prevent enshittification here if someone were really determined to ruin SN.
