“Timhouthi Chalamet” was UNBANNED on Twitch

Apparently he streamed 21 days ago pic.twitter.com/C19Tb8qjRs

For anyone unfamiliar, the eponymous "crises" in the title are NOT about the evil orange man who is bad - Notes on the Crises is a political economy newsletter started a few years ago by Nathan Tankus to comment on the intersecting global economic disasters triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nathan is a @TracingWoodgrains style "truth neurodivergent" not a wingcucked political hack. He's just a big giant dork who does things like FOIA request the minutes from all US Federal Reserve Board meetings from 1967-1973

Nathan looks like this, and I would believe almost anything that he writes, because it is backed by powerful neurodivergent spirits.

When he writes about the COBOL code in the treasury department, I'm confident he's talking to beardy old men who write and maintain that code.

I would also like to clarify some confusion on social media. The issue with understanding and grasping a COBOL system is not knowing COBOL, as a programming language, in the abstract. Nor is it, god help me, something that AI can "do" because you fired one of these chatbots up and got some code that could compile when you asked "write me some COBOL code". The issue is understanding the specific physical limitations of the system, the way that it interacts with the "Business Logic" of the code and a million other contextual factors.

There is specific code which tells you where to direct specific payments in specific ways and the structures, and why they are structured the way they are, requires deep contextual knowledge. This is "business logic". The entire issue with COBOL and why it has been such a struggle to maintain it is that COBOL systems (both private and public) developed for decades with very little documentation, have a million different path dependent coding choices. Mar Hicks 2020 article in Logic Magazine "Built to Last" is worth a read on this topic.

This is what I meant yesterday when I referenced that 30 different COBOL systems at Treasury had developed their own "dialects" and they launched Payment Application Modernization (PAM), which among other things, unified them. What they unified was the business logic of those systems (as well as likely other factors, most notably the physical architecture of the systems they ran on). Part of me wishes they didn't modernize with PAM because those 30 different and distinct systems would have been more secure from their infiltration. PAM processed 4.7 trillion dollars of payments in 2024.

It's also true that some similar issues can emerge with other more recent programming languages and the way "business logic" emerges if a mission critical IT system developed using a more recent programming language. But COBOL is unique; after all it's literally "common business-oriented language". So while knowing the COBOL programming language is better than not knowing it, it does not make that much of a difference with these young Musk programmers mucking about.

So basically, you're all fricked

Yep lol

They post shit like this while their side unironically believes the below

Yall are screwed ngl

You won't do shit

Sounds like projection on your part.

I'm never going to be strong enough to repel a Nazi, but generalizing here, keep up your health. It is beneficial in so many ways I won't bother to list them. Everyone on reddit hates me because I always bring up cooking your own food, not smoking, not drinking, getting exercise every day, giving up fast food and ultraprocessed stuff. It's all key to keeping your body and teeth healthy over the years.

The effects are cumulative - one day you wake up and you have some godawful chronic disease, or your ticker isn't what it could be, or you need yet another root canal, and you are slowed down and inconvenienced by having to use the medical system all the time, take pills, etc.

Also, get an annual check up if only so you have a record of your own stats. It's actually interesting to compare your numbers year to year.

As a nazi myself, this is all really good advice. Regardless of what ideology you have, everyone should abandon unhealthy lifestyles and unhealthy food. Most fast food/door dash and other stuff you get in groceries are deliberately kept unhealthy in order to have a population that can't resist and constantly kept broke and in debt. (not to mention how immoral some of the sources of this food are.) You don't need to be shredded but eating well and working out daily with basic calisthenics goes a long way.

As someone who's immunocompromised from a COVID vaccine injury, I've learned that sometimes the best choice isn't to fight head-on, but to hide and protect myself. It's a hard reality, but sometimes survival means stepping back, staying safe, and waiting for a time when I'm stronger.

In Harry Potter, Harry and his friends often had to choose between direct confrontation and retreat. Hiding, like when Harry and his allies went into hiding in The Deathly Hallows, was often the wisest choice. It wasn't about surrender, but about preserving their strength for when it was truly needed.

Similarly, Anne Frank showed us the power of survival. She and her family lived in hiding, and though it was painful and isolating, it was their only chance to stay alive. Sometimes, hiding isn't a sign of weakness; it's a strategy to make sure we can continue the fight later.

For me, hiding isn't giving up. It's about protecting my health and holding onto hope for a better, safer future.

(OP) this is real and valid, but PLEASE try to avoid citing transphobic authors. Stay safe!

This thread is the most chronically online shit I've ever seen in my life 😭

Lol

YES! me and my wife's boyfriend hit the gym everyday so we can own the chuds!

/r/Swoletariat

It fricking exists btw

I am trans so I don't want to lift too much, maybe some toning

That's a little ableist but I'll support the idea of being healthy! I'm on track at the moment having gone from 260 -> 250 lbs, nearly there =)

thats literally just water weight lmao you can drop that much in less than a week on any strict diet. So you haven't really accomplished anything. Don't pat yourself on the back too hard there bud

No negativity in my revolution

Now we're getting somewhere!

Go with testosterone, as well. Makes you more conservative.

Or just stop taking estrogen lmfao

We've officially found the saddest subreddit out there 🤣🤣

At this point it's >50% trolling by volume lmao

I saved this post yesterday before going to bed only to discover it crawling with MAGAts. How many are from here?

Checking out some fragrances today. Unlike most of you apes, I don't rely on my "natural musk" or "urinating everywhere" when out in the wild to attract mates. On one page, I found a couple o comments that might go against the mindset that only homosexuals wear perfume.

Exactly the same as Tobacco Blaze, but with a more vegetal leaning evoking more of a masculine bias. Very nice. If you like "different" this one is for you. Not recommended for gays and nancyboys.

So, ladies, do you want to smell like a or are you a ?

Remember that Mike Pondsmith, who invented all this crap, is a BLack man who has exclusively dated white women since he was a teenager so this is OK.

Anyway, I started the Dogtown part of the game (from the Phantom Liberty DLC) which is very good but the small area is a little too busy which causes some serious jank and framerate drops. The new car theft missions have caused my PC to crash a couple of times. Apparently the REDengine CD Project Red use is just not up to maintaining a game like this. They have already announced they're dumping it for future releases and rely on Unreal 5. I've had some shocking glitches while driving- cars appearing out of nowhere, falling out of the sky like that guy in Morrowind...

I even had a car spawn directly under me, catapulting my car 30 feet into the air. The game has avoided this from being too immersion-breaking by making almost every car that has collidedwith me driven by a woman.

There is a character in this game called 'Mr. Hands' who seemed to change his voice actor. This is controversial so I innocently googled "Mr Hands voice controversy"...

Yeah, they maybe should have checked that name before they used it.

I see you're using she/they pronouns.
Is that 'cause you think you don’t pass?

Steve Bannon Escalates Feud With Elon Musk: 'Parasitic Illegal Immigrant'

Steve Bannon, a former top adviser to President Donald Trump, has escalated his attacks on Elon Musk, calling the billionaire a "parasitic illegal immigrant" and accusing him of using his influence to push an agenda that disregards American traditions.

The latest remarks underscore growing tensions between two key Trump loyalists. Bannon, the media executive who once served as Trump's chief strategist during his first White House term, has portrayed Musk as a dangerous force within the current administration.

Bannon, a key architect of Trump's first-term agenda, has increasingly positioned himself as a vocal critic of Musk's expanding role in the administration. He has accused Musk, the world's richest person, of being "a racist," "an agent of Chinese influence" and an existential threat to the MAGA movement.
