You either die talking about lobsters, or you live long enough to become the lobster

I used to think the most insane position Martinez had was getting rid of copyright law, particularly because it seemed like a position that was unique to him. Now though I see people like Jack Dorsey saying the same shit, “delete all intellectual property law”.

Dorsey cooked his brains out in the desert at Burning Man years ago, so I guess it makes sense he’s come up with ideas like this, but why the fuck would this be a good idea?

The only rational explanation I can think of is if you had a breakaway ethnostate that occupied like a small island or something, and you wanted to make it a nation of pirates as an economic strategy, in which case I guess it would make sense.

The entire industrial revolution and technological process since however is largely attributable to copyright law. For like 4500 years we had the greatest minds contributing themselves to stuff like philosophy, mathematics, scientific theory etc because they saw mechanical invention as beneath them.

It works for China because half of China’s economy is sweatshop labor and the other half is piracy. It’s, among other reasons, a reason tariffs are necessary because they can serve a role in protecting American intellectual property rights.

The moment you get rid of copyright, however, is when you go from being a country that rewards innovation to a country that rewards thievery.

Starbucks no longer takes the coupon I’ve been using for the past five weeks every weekday for a $2.50 large iced macchiato😔

why the fuck is 4chan still down

Happy Easter everyone

Bergoglio wasn’t even a priest let alone the pope lol

It’s pretty funny that he met JD Vance and immediately died of cringe though that’s some S tier old man trolling

AI has made basically no improvement in generalizing solutions to questions where there is no objective answer since ~GPT-4 and only marginal improvements to generative work requiring precision in each model release since then.

Good at math and imprecise work where you can provide it with a lot of context and guide it towards the output you want tho.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GROUND

I’m a big believer in Elliott Wave theory, look into it and check the QQQ/SPY charts painting a big beautiful wave pattern for an idea where we’re going.

casino stocks, which are largely all as beaten up as tech stocks over the past several months, seem pretty insulated from the major macro narratives right now. there's no real AI risk, no tariff risk, no government risk. they're trading down on recession expectations (overblown) and a couple years of having bad management (easy to fix).

casino business is probably the easiest industry to fix the management in. as long as management doesn't fuck up so bad that they lose the gambling license (won't happen with the big public cos in vegas) you can always find people who can make that license print money. the real estate and license has so much inherent value that is VERY hard to fuck up with bad management.

not a buyer here just yet at these levels but definitely watchlisting, seem beaten up way too much without a real basis other than vibes.

one other negative mark is it doesn't seem they've figured out how to market to zoomers - at all. this is bullish rather than bearish though, it took them a long time to figure out how to cater to millennials well too. it's hard for something you're already bad at to get worse, especially if you bring in new effective management.

There’s people out there who had to bag hold gold for 533 years to break even 😔

Of all the black rapper deaths funniest one is Irv Gotti dying from overdosing on Chinese food

Honestly as a part-time degenerate, eating massive amounts of orange chicken and beijing beef while playing cards until your brain explodes isn’t the worst way to go if you’re on your last legs.

look how they massacred my boy
