      JD Vance is comparing a factory that outsources labour to China to a father walking out on his own kids in his book and his solution is that we should all stop worshipping false idols and go back to worshipping God. Ngl I don’t think you will ever see a clearer case of a politician who’s suffered from daddy issues his whole life, dude is projecting SO HARD here

      >While called the “common” toothwort, researchers have found that they’re not found in just any ravine forest, but mostly in mature forests which have not been disturbed. This is comparable to some horsehair worms which help keep trout well-fed with drowning crickets – some of these worms are only found in old growth forests. While one is a plant and the other a worm, both of those parasite provide important ecosystem services. For all that those parasites may take from their hosts, their actions also help support many other inhabitants of such forests.

      >Elon Musk reveals the moment his son Saxon left an entire sushi restaurant speechless

      >”I was living in L.A., and I took my older boys out for lunch to Sugarfish, which is a very kind of uptight sushi restaurant. In fact, on the menu of the restaurant, it says, do not ask for soy sauce, because the chef has put the right amount of soy sauce.”

      >”So, like, extremely strict sushi restaurant. And so the waiter is going around asking everyone what they want and then it comes to Saxon and Saxon says I’ll have a cheeseburger.”

      >”And the waiter takes a moment to recover because no one ever asked for a cheeseburger at this very strict sushi restaurant. It took him like 30 seconds to realize he’d just been asked for a cheeseburger, because you’re not even allowed to ask for soy sauce.”

      >”So then when he finally recovered, he said, we don’t have cheeseburgers. And Saxon goes at the top of his voice, what? Like, what kind of restaurant doesn’t have cheeseburgers? He says, fine, I’ll have a hamburger.”

      Saxon Musk is 20 years old btw

      *song from 2004*

      “LOL they really had us listening to recessioncore while we were all broke and they got away with everything”

      Yeah man, they sure did, people definitely have never sung about not needing money to be happy before the recession, it’s all a psyop by big music at the behest of Wall Street

      >“Many of the world’s most prominent economists disagree on AI’s long-term impact on jobs.

      >Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley said last year that AI would replace “literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S.” The company recently hired several hundred engineers and attributed the move to concerns over the quality of work that had been automated. (The hirings were earlier reported by Bloomberg.)

      >“Engineers with deep technical expertise leveraging the power of AI is a powerful combination that is driving quality gains at Ford,” a Ford spokesman said.”

      Wow I didn’t know that, you’re telling me for the first time that productivity gains require workers to leverage the new technology better.

      Also LMAO at tech bros using investor-speak to the public saying “WE WILL CUT JOBS” and the reaction being exactly what a normal person would expect from that. Took them long enough to understand

      I have hacked into the Belgium team group chat and am spamming it with pro-Flemish separatist memes to reduce the team’s cohesiveness
