  • He likes Russia so much that he wants the US to become like it. He’s following the post-USSR playbook. He’s trying to destroy the economy so he and his billionaire buddies can buy up the scraps for pennies on the dollar. Which will turn him into an oligarch and will keep him in power after his term is up. And he isn’t going to pay for any of it. He will steal money from the people like he did in his first term with his golf course and his cult following will keep giving him money and buy his crypto coins. That’s why he wants to get rid of cryptocurrency regulation.



  • Modern desktop OSes like MacOs will dynamically fill up memory to improve performance, since unused memory is wasted memory. And will leave things in memory for as long as possible until something else needs it, then that occupied memory gets freed by pushing a chunk of memory into the swap disk. It’s why if you run MacOs for while the memory gets full, even if you don’t have anything open. But that memory will get freed if you open an application.






  • It’s basically classism. It’s what upper class people have done for centuries at parties to identify which family has become poorer. Then this behavior seeped into the middle class through the media. Since gossip rags would judge celebrities based on their outfit. And middle class people copy that behavior to seem more upper class.





  • Hentai Gaijin

    Also reminds me of this story of a guy who wanted to have his name tattooed in Japanese. His name is Gary. And in Japanese it’s written in Katakana like this ゲリ but Gary didn’t think that looked cool and wanted to have it written in Kanji. So the artist gave him a tattoo of 下痢 which is pronounced as geri. Which actually means diarrhea.

    Not sure if it’s true but would be funny as hell if it was.
