Leak Exposes Members of Peter Thiel’s Secretive ‘Dialog’ Society

22h 50m ago in aboringdystopia from www.wired.com

I think that concentrating too much wealth / power into a person’s hands affects their mental health.

I think cause and effect are exactly opposite here: you have to be exceptionally, sociopathically greedy to want to become that rich, and then work towards it. Imagine all the actively harmful and antisocial decisions each billionaire has to make to increase their wealth. I believe most people just aren't cut out for it.

But of course wealth/power then serves as an amplifier.

Unfortunately these 4.2m will keep the evil machinery running.

Even with the little detail above, it can't be too hard to figure out the exact place...

Trump Celebrates Achieving Absolutely Nothing in Iran

(War, huh) Good God, y'all
(What is it good for?) Absolutely nothin'
Say it again
(War, huh) Woah, woah, lord, lord
(What is it good for?) Absolutely nothin'
Listen to me

Yes, but why did he do that? Personal gain for his purse & ego. Not America. It's sad that it took his followers a full decade to even start realizing that. Some of them.

The Oligarchs Are Not Reading The Room

You fucked up your comparison in that last sentence, so maybe the better part of your comment got lost:

You vote for the person doing the least amount of harm.

Saying “you can’t compare Trump to Obama”, however, bla bla bla

Funny, nobody said that in this thread. Of course you can compare Obama to Trump, and I think all participants here did that. If you're refering to my top level comment, I deliberately phrased it the way I did. Reading comprehension?

Ask them? I'm not from the US either. But I'm severely overinformed because of reddit-style fediverse with a huge percentage of American and generally English-speaking people.

FWIW, I don't think the gen pop has turned fascist in large numbers - yet.

You know how most people (in non-English speaking Europe) are severely underinformed wrt how bad things are in the USA?

I just realized that UFC on the White House lawn is one of the few things that will get global mainstream media attention. And once again people will say "quaint, but hardly fascist".

Asses cooked matcha langue de chat cookies

couque d'asses

This seems to really exist as a name for a type of bisquit, although without the final 's' (Asse is a place in Belgium, so like "Dijon mustard" this just means "cookies from, or rather in the style of, Asse").

langue de chat

means "cat tongue" and that one definitely exists as a name for a type of bisquit.

using vaguely European sounding words

This product combines two cat tongue style biscuits with a filling, maybe that's why it seems to be named after 2 separate cookie types.

TBF to OP, yes Japan (and other countries) does often do that. I always like to hold against that the example of "Western" people getting tattoos of Chinese symbols they know nothing about.

Cat.
