Truth, even when seeing the human side those mechbots they were riding in looked like I was watching a video game cutscene. I guess if they made them look more realistic it would look more roger rabbit like.

From a finance angle I don’t see how they can make it past like 2026, maybe 2027 before creditors demand their due and the cards fall. It’s not only financed by leveraged investments, but a ton of debt. LLMs aren’t going to morph into AGI by throwing graphics cards at the problem.

Don’t take MDMA or cocaine while drinking, it’s toxic and you will likely blackout, especially on the molly. Never take benzos while drinking, it’s a waste of benzos and you will definitely black out and potentially even die.

Hallucinogens generally don’t mix with alcohol, although some people claim LSD and a couple drinks go well together.

Cannabis will intensify your tipsiness when drinking. It is or used to be called being “cross-faded”. If you are going to smoke cannabis and drink, smoke first as it will regulate how much alcohol you consume.

Lastly it’s important to remember how alcohol works. The fun chemicals in your brain get produced as your BAC increases. To have the most fun, less negative side effects you stretch your alcohol out over your drinking period. So let’s say you plan to have six drinks over 4 hours. You will enjoy the experience much more if you have two drinks for the first 3 hours, rather than taking 4 shots in the first hour and then two drinks after it. Once the BAC stops rising the fun stops and you are left with mostly negatives of dizziness, fogginess and possibly nausea.

11 is extremely hard for me.

They have 1,334 employees so a lot of it is fringe benefits… 30k for employer contribution of health/dental/vision/FSA&HSA program costs, $5k for sick leave payout costs, $5,250 training/tuition assistance budget. That’s 40,250 per full time employee right there.

If you take the almost 9mil C suite makes and round down to 150 Million and divide by 1,319 employees (subtracting C suite) that’s 113,700 per employee. Now if we withhold the benefits above, that’s $73,450. But we’re not done yet.

1% for workers comp, 6.2% for social security, 7% 401k match, 1.45% medicare, so a total of 15.65%. So we divide our 73,450 by 1.1565 and we are left with an average salary of $63,510.

They also have an additional retirement plan which almost sounds like a pension, but I couldn’t find easy info on. If that’s what it is, then that further reduces the avg salary by 10%. They also offer $2,500 adoption assistance and an EAP program that’s not factored in.

I don’t know why your getting so many downvotes because there seems to be a level of truth to what you say. They supposedly have 1,334 employees, which would make an average wage of 120k… But you have to notice it says “fringe benefits” which would include health insurance and retirement, which is $20k+ just for the health insurance and tax stuff and then if they do an employee 5% match that’s another 5k bringing the avg salary down to 95k.

Why?

I think there is a lot of pressure from Peter Thiel and his Praxis gang to acquire Greenland so he can have it as their Techno feudal land.

I wonder if they are intentionally creating sanctuary zones or not. Because that’s how they will be used if their police enforce it.

What if we just make them adopt a kid for every multiple over the 3x over the national average income. So Musk would have to have like 4 million kids. Then you heavily follow them with CPS and fine them for any infraction. Basically making CPS the biggest taxing authority.

Its going to be extremely hard to get another job after too when you have a huge 3 year hole in your resume.

To be honest anyone who takes the extra effort to move to Lemmy is probably a voter, I doubt there are that many non voters on Lemmy.

Yup. First they give the middle finger to their customers, then they do it to their investors. Because who is punishing them?

Maybe, I heard it on this NYT podcast The Daily.

I think it starts around the 4 minute mark where they talk about the CIA having a spy/informant.

There was also a US spy in Maduro’s entourage from what I hear, so totally reasonable.

Other countries hopefully now understand how important it is to escape US tech reliance.

I want to know the origin… Did someone get sick of others stealing their lighter lol?
