if you had to time travel to one ancient city in its prime for one year, which city would you choose?

Live music is everything.

These guys are 5/10.

But it’s still worth it. Also the super hot bartender.

I don’t believe he’s basing his policy on real world data. That might be TDS. But he’s determined to be on this path. And at best, he’s responding to whether or not countries “come to negotiate” with him. FDI has nothing to do with it.

Thanks.

I’ll take a look.

A lot of “announced” and “pledged” here.

We’ll see how the data plays out over a couple of years.

The more we use this technology, the more we necessarily turn over not only our data and our privacy but the basic things we need to survive. Meanwhile, reality is totally reshaped by LLMs as increasingly authoritarian media is pumped out as training data. Nothing could be more useful to them.

PHL is dirty and has the low end bar scene.

But SF has it beaten hands down for just crazy, weird and basic entertainment.

Ok ok

I’ll shut up now.

Returning to status quo ante ; no I&P talk.

You can all return to licking Kushner’s taint. Or blaming Biden. Or thinking Netanyahu owns Trump.

But come on. Some of you are completely fucking off the reservation.

I barely or don’t buy this at all.

Have the Gulf Arabs bribed the Regime?

Boy. And how.

Has that brought “peace to the Middle East” absolutely not.

Has it brought a little pressure on Netanyahu. Maybe a bit.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Historians argue that Trump indicting his enemies one-by-one rather than having them murdered in a single night proves he’s not a fascist.
