Exactly. Most times the US government mentions inflation they’re talking about “Chained” inflation, which lags behind actual inflation for most by 1%.

Depends which society. In Iran there are no gay people so there’s no conversation to begin. Literally not a single one. 😏
- Comment on get sum 4 days ago:
People weren’t gay until 1989 so that makes sense. Literally not a single one.

Vim? Oh wow. I’d be looking into a USB Keyboard that types the entire source code of vim into the machine, assuming there isn’t an easier option.
- Comment on Why doesn't the US fill in the area in the Pacific to connect Alaska, Hawaii, and the mainland? Are they stupid? 1 week ago:
Here’s why. The Kansai International Airport filled about 180k cubic km of land for about $15b. Given the shape is about 8m square km, and an average seafloor depth of about 3km, this project would cost about $1500 trillion dollars. That’s slightly under half of the new ICE budget and would not be approved by Congress.

Funny story about the language ability. I had a German friend in college. He had moved to America 1 month prior and never lived in an English speaking country. He had a perfect English accent and was overall better than some of my native born friends. I required proof of his German heritage, lol, thought he was making it up. And very bashful about his incredible language ability!
Recently I met a Dutch person traveling in the US for a week. He had a flawless Southern Californian accent, my friends and I didn’t believe him. His language skills were literally better than most Americans.
I can say the same about mant Indians I’ve worked with as well.
Blasted non-Americans and their superior education!!!

- Comment on Wall Street’s AI Bubble Is Worse Than the 1999 Dot-com Bubble, Warns a Top Economist 2 weeks ago:
I don’t buy it. The top 10 companies are mooning not because of AI, but because they’re in bed with a powerful wannabe dictator. I don’t mean to sound grim, but if I were a betting man I’d put my money on the unfairly advantaged companies too. Luckily I index invest and don’t listen to this noise.

American here, I have no problem with them. There was a roundabout nearby in my city. When they unleashed it, the first driver brave enough to traverse it swerved off the road and died on the spot. It caused such a scene that the next 3 cars watching entered the wrong way and started to pile up. More cars piled up over the coming weeks, it couldn’t be taped off because the city service workers were unfortunately not Europeans and also could not traverse the labyrinth, they too piled up and died of starvation. Eventually it collapsed into a singularity under its growing weight (Americans are fat, so it was over the Chandresekar limit), cars add into the eternal swirl each day and emanate slowly as Hawking radiation. It’s quite beautiful to see.

- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 weeks ago:
John Oliver did a show on this recently, in summary: “not all AI is spam, but all spam is AI”. My take, legitimate accounts with a long history are cheap to generate, they’re a great purchase to help spread bad faith disinformation and look legit. It’s a business model.

We’re flooded with disinformation. Even smart, left leaning people in my circle are spouting crazy lies as if it’s truth. It takes hours to dispell a single lie if they’re patient enough to listen, seconds to form it. It started maybe in 2016. 99% of our news and Internet search results are like Cold War propaganda. Don’t think it won’t happen to you either, I’m very sorry if it does.

I still have hope, until I am forced to emigrate I won’t be giving up on us. This country at one point saved my ancestors from doom, I believe it can again. It’s actually the “America sucks” crowd we need the most. In the words of AOC: resist, make them make us.
