Based on this interaction alone and his dad deciding the price for him, I’m going to make the wildly assumptious assumption this is a 20s/30s(/40s?) unemploymed guy living at his dad’s house rent free.
If my assumptions are incorrect, sorry mate, you did not win the dad lottery.
Yeah but he’s just a temporarily inconvenienced billionaire, the rest of these welfare queens are out here collecting rent and sitting around all day. They don’t need the money like he does. As soon as he gets a job, he’ll hustle that first billion in no time.
His YouTube shorts (500/day goal) is videos of Elon musk saying things, with the background music alternating between the sigma male tune and the movie clip tune.
Did you see how ELON MUSK OWNED💯 DON LEMON by getting flustered at the question of “half your advertisers have left the platform, if X fails, isn’t that on you?” so he told Don he should choose his words carefully because the interview clock only had 5 minutes left? And then Don was OWNED because he rephrased the question?
LMAO. SUCK IT CNN. OWNED!
So programming is gonna go from a “search, understand basics, copy/paste, make changes” industry to a “I breathe compiler optimization, pay me money” industry?
Can’t say I’m that upset, it had to happen eventually. But this will only kick the brainpower down the road for the copy/pasters because they’ll have a lot more time to dig in and specialize.
ProtonVPN, RiseupVPN and BrightVPN(only for windows), limited ones Windscribe and PrivadoVPN
Where did you get this idea?
Mullvad, IVPN, Perfect Privacy, and a few others have had independent audits of their no-log behavior and in some cases, law enforcement audits. They sure as hell don’t proxy your traffic. They all accept Monero and cash. They all have multihop.
Edit: I see you said free. Yeah, I wouldn’t trust a free VPN, regardless. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.
I think it’s being framed wrongly for the narrative by the guy posting the screenshot.
A friend sent me MRI brain scan results
Without more context I have to assume guy was still convinced of his brain tumor, knew a friend who knew and talked about Claude, had said friend run results through Claude and told guy who’s brain was scanned that Claude gave a positive result, and friend went to multiple doctors for a second, third, fourth opinion.
In America we have to advocate hard when there is an ongoing, still unsolved issue, and that includes using all tools at your disposal.
Grow dope, gain hope, become self suffic-an?
Yes you can but for people that are looking to set one up today, not someone that’s been running one for 5 years and has basically a whitelisted reputation, it takes a lot to set it up and keep your domain and IP space reputation solid, along with DKIM/SPF/etc records, all the latest stuff like Google’s new mandatory unsubscribe header that will keep coming up. Even if a couple people on your hosting provider start spamming, if they’re in the same IP space as you, You’re going to be getting filtered more heavily for using a “bad neighbor” host. The big corporate/“nonprofit” guys like Spamhaus and Google and Microsoft are basically those controlling corporations for emails, what they say in their spec pretty much goes. They’re making it h em oarder for people to set up and run their own email servers, whether that is the outright intended effect for their mandatory changes or not.
Don’t get me started on trying to set up a business newsletter account on your new corporate mail server, holy hell, the warm-up itself is pulling hairs. There’s a reason companies like MailChimp, Zapier, et al make so much money.
Facebook was all those things in the beginning.
Reddit was all those things in the beginning.
Twitter was all those things in the beginning.
LinkedIn was all those things in the beginning.
The Internet in general was all those things in the beginning.
I’ve never used IG/TT but I assume they were all those things in the beginning.
Lemmy will probably be said to be most of those things in the beginning.
With age comes wisdom, which comes once you’ve seen the pattern happen enough times, which can only come with age.

One of those old people.
What is this, an election for blobfish?
I do the same, but I have been trying to build the habit of not doing it.
At that point will you admit I’m right?
Nix this part and you’re good, chief.
What are we talking about here?
Emotional detachment of things one has no personal involvement in, in order to see the situation as clearly as possible. If you are living in Gaza or have family or a good friend there then yes it’s much harder and maybe nearly impossible. I can also understand the need for emotional attachment to feel purpose by campaigning against something, but again, attachment is the enemy of objectivity.
It’s impossible to avoid bias completely. It’s very much possible to recognize your bias and train yourself to have emotional detachment from a given subject. Ask a Buddhist monk, or a seasoned intelligence analyst.
Philosophical ramble below, you can stop reading here if you’re not in the mood.
Most people unfortunately never get to the stage of realizing they can detach themselves from emotional bias, so they read and believe whatever they have already read and believe and want to be true.
Side note: it’s much easier when you’re on the spectrum, or learned as a child to shut your emotions off (I’m not sure this can be learned in adulthood). It seems like many victims of childhood abuse take it in the other direction - emotional overreaction.
I’m quite positive going to Russia would be dangerous for me regardless of my ethnicity or background 😄. They really do have some neat brutalist art and architecture, but I can see that from the safety of my couch with Bald & Bankrupt.
I’m a Russian spy, and the FBI agent is pulling out their identification when questioning me.
Worldnews and Politics on Lemmy and Reddit are probably singlehandedly responsible for 20% of the daily AstroTurf® Premiumizzle™ API access.
I subscribed to a couple politics subs yesterday here on Lemmy. I had to unsubscribe this morning.
Fully agree. I’m taking a trip to Russia soon. It’s my families motherland, such a beautiful country with a rich history. People keep calling me a spy, and it’s hurtful, especially when they pull out their identification. – Jokes aside I really do agree. Internet culture has come up with some of the greatest, and dumbest, collectivist thoughts and this meme is a great example of the latter.
Edit: Keep up friends. “Motherland” “Russian” “Spy” “Identification” “Jokes aside”
Chances are this is a kid or NEET and all his friend wants is a super simple website with basic info for his local business. Dad is either doing him a favor, or giving him some pocket change so he’ll stop bothering him for money for a month. This is what happens when you don’t teach your children to be adults, and give them everything instead. Seen it too many times.
