Just start a new one. No need to bail out all that SV capital.

I bet it's also happening in high school.

The silver lining is that, for once, it's the richest people ($250K) who get shafted, while the small clients get their money back.

Everyone expects a bank to be the last to lose in any catastrophe. Given their size, they probably got benefits from using only them.

I don't think he was talking to you, specifically.

What a disgrace.

You're completely right. I don't really have much sympathy for SV companies, though. I was thinking about individuals only.

I see. Honestly, it's a silly idea to keep six figures in a bank. That's money that's depreciating with inflation.

Aren't bank deposits insured these days?

the silent prayer issue

What does this mean? Will it be illegal to pray silently?

Microsoft would turn evil as soon as they didn't fear the competition. All public companies follow the same pattern.

I can't wrap my head around why these things are so popular.

They're not organically popular. They were made that way through sheer marketing capital. Here's how it works:

1. Sponsor events and influencers
2. Make sure everyone with a following have them and shows them
3. Profit from trend followers

And that's it. Eventually the fad dies out. Stupid of them not to see it coming and diversify.

When they say "genocide" they're referring to laws that prevent them from grooming children into their sick lifestyle.

M2F people are incredibly histrionic. Almost like a parody of women.

I'd rather watch a japanese version, if that had been the original language. They care about voice acting way more.

He would be a tanned Jewish man. Not as dark as that image, and not as white as european classical paintings.

There's plenty of black Christians, but whatever.

They're using US dollars, unlike what Hussein and Ghaddafi were beginning to do.

They're just the owners. If they're intelligent, they'll hire the talent and listen to them.

EDIT- From their website:

Old Glory Bank was previously called First State Bank in Elmore City, Oklahoma, which was established in 1903. We recently acquired First State Bank and changed its name to Old Glory Bank. There is a new group of owners, executives, and board members, who have decades of experience in banking and technology.

15-year olds are more men than boys, physically.

A lovesick slave might be less interesting in the long term than you think.

You are mistaken. I, for one, would rather have a star-wars-like robot that cleans and cooks. No need for emotional masturbation.

It only works as a product if the robot can't leave you, which means there isn't a person there to contend with. People would abuse them until they see the cracks in the behavior and lose interest. They would get bored with the realistic toy after a while. It wouldn't be fulfilling.

This would potentially allow gay couples to have genetic children. You still need a womb.

From what I gather, I get a "been there, done that" impression, with way too much dialogue.

In retrospective, it makes sense that YT took away the dislike button. It'd be too constantly embarrassing otherwise.
