Good take

I wouldn't even be against sharing some information so they could give me better ads

I'm not in the market for a new car. I don't need car ads.

But knowing I shop at Something Hardware a lot and they are having a spring black friday sale on the tool I've been eyeing would be nice.

Even still Something Hardware just slapping their logo in an ad is not helpful at all.

If ads were helpful they wouldn't be annoying

Let's say an 18 year old moves out and starts renting

The average rent in US is 1.5k

30 years of payment is 540k

When that person is 48, they would have paid 540k in rent expenses

This is assuming that rent doesn't increase

Throwing 600k out the window before you're even 50 is not a recipe for success

76 is US average life expectancy. That's ~25 more years of rent.

If they retire at 63. 13 years of 1.5k a month rent is 234k. They need a quarter million in retirement funds just for rent to live up until 76.

45 years of working for that 18 year old would need to make ~750k.

That's 16.5k a year just to pay for rent

Again this is assuming rent never goes up.

That's 8 dollars an hour 40 hours a week every week.

10% more than minimum wage, just for rent.

It's crazy

And this assumes you die and don't have to rent after the age of 76

People not wanting to buy and hold the stock lowers the price.

If everyone wants to short it and no one wants to buy it, then the price will go down.

Not really going down because of the short but lack of demand

Also only temporary because people shorting the stock will eventually have to buy the stock back.

Shorting a stock does not lower the stock price.

Batteries use to have a power check mechanism.

There was a small white circle on the copper top side and a half circle on the bottom non nipple side.

What you needed to do was cover the white circle on side of battery with a thumb and then cover the whole bottom with other thumb and the indicator would tell you how much the battery had left.

Since it was a half circle off the bottom many people didn't know they were supposed to cover up the whole bottom. Making it hard for many to use it because you'd have to press down very hard on the edge to get it to work.

Could you do it to your house? Sure

This also takes a special foundation. Can't just add it to any home

You ask Chat GPT a question it is going to answer it becomes that's what it has been programed to do. Input question, output answer.

Now if Chat GPT could be like "Nah I'm not going to answer that because I don't feel like it"

Yes "AI" can be programed to not answer certain things. E.g porn stuff. But it does not make the conscious choice to do so it is following programming.

Pumping the cell with carbon dioxide without the prisoner knowing when it was happening. They'd go to sleep (or stay asleep) and never wake up. Painless stress free death.

But you know "gas chambers" bad

Yeah the official term genocide was specifically crafted to avoid including Joseph Stalin. Sure.

Athiest Joseph Stalin performed mass killing of his own people

No Stalin was an athiest and he caused mass genocide.

Google says it could be 20+ million. Anyways, how many he killed isn't the point.

He killed people because they were in opposition

Yeah he killed them for non-religious reasons. Religion didn't play a part in the mass genocide.

Stalin wasn't religious and actively tried to stamp out religion.

He killed what, 6+ million people?
