balancing like 3 books right now. finished a muriel spark in the middle of the night last night while eating salami out of the fridge.

This subreddit used to be nice, now it's just constant sneeding at nitpicks about anything slightly republican (like the recent soying over the CEO of Proton being a chud).

MISINFORMATION!

ENCRYPTION FIXES THIS!

Literally any company can do this, that's why we need DIVERSITY (the good one) in emergency options. Redditors want to stay as cavemen because a chud made something nice. Currently satellite connectivity (provided by globalstar) requires a special chip + proper positioning + has limited data + is expensive to transfer over. Starlink will allow for LTE speeds anywhere in the world on any device without needing to point your phone towards the sky like an r-slur.

LOL

We finally get ONE rational redditor!

Elon is out to r*pe you. Hide NOW.

years ago, back in my bachelor (degree) days 😉😉I was in a material history of central Italy in antiquity class, and we were looking at a pretty standard statue depicting ancient italians. this lady who looked like a Reddit avatar asks: "if these are Italians, why are they depicting asians with dreads.." she then says something about culture appropriation. I nearly did a backflip in my seat. The prof was thrown off for like a good 5 secs.

The next year I'm in another elective with this person. African history, very easy but a lovely class. An iron age Italian tribe and a pre Iron Age African tribe have the same name and this person asks "so how did x group get over there "

I am cautiously optimistic that we will reach the $4B/day FY2026 reduction this weekend https://t.co/XQBK3rqkwo

Reducing the federal deficit from $2T to $1T in FY2026 requires cutting an average of $4B/day in projected 2026 spending from now to Sept 30.

That would still result in a $1T deficit, but economic growth should be able to match that number, which would mean no inflation in 2026.

Super big deal.

Elon Musk's DOGE commission gains access to sensitive Treasury payment systems

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Government Efficiency, run by President Donald Trump's billionaire adviser and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has gained access to sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems, according to two people familiar with the situation.

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-elon-musk-doge-treasury-5e26cc80fcb766981cea56afd57ae759

"They seem to want Treasury to be the chokepoint on payments, and that's unprecedented," the person added, emphasizing that it is not the bureau's role to decide which payments to make — it is "just to make the f-ing payments."

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/politics/doge-treasury-department-federal-spending/index.html

Federal Outlays Breakdown, these are what the treasury actually pays out

Throughout this page, we use outlays to represent spending. This is money that has actually been paid out and not just promised to be paid. When issuing a contract or grant, the U.S. government enters a binding agreement called an obligation. This means the government promises to spend the money, either immediately or in the future. As an example, an obligation occurs when a federal agency signs a contract, awards a grant, purchases a service, or takes other actions that require it to make a payment. Obligations do not always result in payments being made, which is why we show actual outlays that reflect actual spending occurring.

Napkin math with last years numbers:

• Social Security: $374 B (19.7%)

• National Defense: $262 B (13.8%)

• Health: $246 B (13.0%)

• Net Interest: $242 B (12.8%)

• Medicare: $233 B (12.3%)

• Income Security: $162 B (8.5%)

• Veterans Benefits and Services: $105 B (5.5%)

• Education, Training, Employment, and Social Services: $52 B (2.7%)

• Natural Resources and Environment: $39 B (2.1%)

• Transportation: $36 B (1.9%)

• Other: $43 B (2.3%)

Total Outlays Spending: $1.9 trillion

Assuming boomers and the defense companies are untouchable and muskrat isn't r-slurred enough to default on interest payments overnight this can be met by immediately halting payments for:

• Income security(162b) + Vets services(105b) + Education(52b) + Environment (39b) + transportation (36b) + Other(43b) = (.162+.105+.052+.039+0.036+.043) trillion = 0.437 Trillion dollars

Lets slap on a halt for all healthcare outlays including medicaid for 246b to get 0.683 Trillion dollars . Nowhere near enough dollarydoos to meet the target.

Lets make some harder sacrifices. All outlays to the penta-GONE (262b) for 0.945 Trillion. Now the target can easily be solved by reducing SS payments by 14% .

Bigger picture 1 trillion dollars is 3.65% of nominal GDP and 1 trillion dollars worth of outlays being halted for a year from this scheme fires a solid chunk of 2 million soldiers, 2 million federal employees, every contractor so something like ~5-7 million people? Pulling some galaxy brained napkin math out my butt thats 1/16th the total workforce for an additional 6% unemployment not including private sector income loss by sept 30.

UPDATE: FAKE NEWS

MULTIPLE ABOVE SPENDING BUDGET BY 3

Will this go through ?

Who knows ? Its literally the most illegally r-slurred way of cutting the deficit imaginable .

But muskrat says its the plan and this is what the payments system controls

When people ask if you are pregnant and you aren't...

I was shopping at Victoria's Secret, and I asked the saleswoman for help. She leaned in an asked if I was pregnant. When I said no, she said, "Are you sure?" When I angrily said NO again, she said, "You look like you are about 4 months along."

It makes me sad when I see pregnant posts on social media and women are bragging about their baby bumps. I have Crohn's Disease, and I've had a bit of a belly for most of my life, while the rest of my body is skinny. Their baby bumps look like my everyday life. Perhaps it's a combination of knowing I never want to be pregnant but having so many people in my life tell me I should have kids + feeling hurt that many people have ASKED me if I am pregnant because of my bloating.

As a woman, I just want to be valued for more than how my body looks or what creatures my body can produce. :p

*EDIT: The VS incident happened a little while ago, so I won't be able to complain to the manager or report her, but I have just been feeling a lack of confidence in my body lately and been seeing so many pregnant posts, I am currently feeling triggered. Since the incident at VS, several other people have asked the same rude question, but that one was by far the worst because she would not let it go. So.... thanks redditors for the support. :)

This woman made a post a week ago stating that Trump will make the great reveal today. I guess he still has a few hours left to do that.

This guy says Trump will soon reveal technology that will revolutionize transportation, but all of the replies are just concerned with when he is going to bring out the medbeds.

A poll is posted asking people if they believe medbeds are real. 63% say yes.

This guy replies saying the town where Trump got shot actually already has a medbed center open.

What the heck is Tesla BioHealing? Any connection to Musk, or are they just piggybacking off the name?

https://www.teslabiohealing.com/

This is their website. What the heck is with that tab in Japanese? Clicking it downloads a PDF in Japanese that talks about how they provide minerals that can fix your "chi." Seems like a legit medical company.

The FAQ section on their website talks incessantly about some pseudo-health shit involving "biophotons" whatever the frick that means.

This section of the FAQ is what holds any real information. The "cover our butt legally" part buried in the FAQ.

Actually, Elon Musk already disclosed that medbeds exist in a video I saw but can't remember the name of and basically you're fricking stupid if you still think they aren't real.

Is this person a fricking bot?

Trump is going to usher in a communist utopia according to these people.

Military bases have been filled up with medbeds and very soon you will be able to go to one and get all of your physical ailments solved FOR FREE!

Very soon all hospitals will be shut down and completely replaced by medbeds. I, for one, can't wait. Thank you, Mr. President!

Somehow he thinks this is normal. Some tvs have smoothing on as default. He didn't even know what it was. Zoomers are so brain rotted they think a normal ps5 can run rd2 which has a draw distance of like half a mile at 60fps. This is some ceiling bird levels of not noticing.

I think noticing should be a mandatory class in high school. A full second input lag would entirely unplayable for someone with a brain.

So my wife (29f) and i (28m) have been together with the exception of a long break when we were 18 and 19 for 10 years. (She left me for another guy) and every year or two since we've been back together i keep finding things on her phone. The first was a fetlife account where she was chatting with multiple men. The second was a coworker she was speaking explicitly with. Third she asked a random neighbor out for coffee in our apartment complex in a flirting manner. And finally this. I found nudes of her that I'd never seen before, and looked in the deleted pictures on her phone and found pictures of another man's nudes.

We've had some rough patched with my finances and depression as well as hers. I must admit I was feeling sexually frustrated last year and went to a "massage parlor" but didn't go through with the end part. And she found out. She's insists that nothing has become physical any of these times and would leave if she were going to go through with it, because she did when thats what she wanted.

Our relationship is great except for this horrible bi annual ritual of her seeking attention. She makes the money In the relationship and I'm very limited in my capacity to support myself for any sort of trial separation. I don't want to leave. I love her. But I feel I need to advocate for myself despite my own wrongdoings. I feel so trapped and hopeless.

Came across this amazing post. But what's even funnier is if you visit his profile and see the only other post he's made:

This might be the dumbest man on Earth.

Oh, he's from Portland? She's not cheating on him; he's just unknowingly in a poly relationship.

A recent discussion I had about AGP got me thinking about which fetishes cross the line into psychological disorders and it occured to me that every Masochist I've ever met has been self destructive outside of their BDSM shit and every sadist I've met has been sadistic outside of their s*x life too so the idea that the whole thing is a LARP isn't very convincing.

Granted, I'm working with a small sample size but the one hardcore sadist I met IRL was a huge bully in his teen years who did all his "roleplay" with severely depressed chicks and also liked hurting people or watching them get hurt for the fun of it outside of his s*x life and had other antisocial traits. He was also into the really extreme shit like crying and bleeding.

I've met several women into it and unsurprisingly all of them had really low self esteem and depression.

Thoughts?
