Reply to Missouri man serving 241-year sentence released from prison with help of judge who put him behind bars by AmethystOrator

241 to a 16yo, wtf? There are rapists that get 1/100th of that.

He needed to be incarcerated and was a danger to society but that sentence was absolutely ridiculous. Maybe 5 to 8 years, to be rehabilitated, not to get into gangs in prisons, something that is completely tolerated by the american prison system.

But the real problem here is, what moves a 16 year old to commit a series of robberies? That is the real problem, how do 16 yo kids have access to guns? What a failed society.

Reply to Why a Blue check mark is now $8 on Twitter and Elon Musk's Next Steps - A piece of speculative business non-fiction by BandicootKind705

This is not about bots, it is about Musk having bought twitter and transferring a lot of his debt into it so now twitter (that was barely profitable before musk) is in the red numbers and needs a lot of income sources to stay afloat.

Before Musk bought twitter they had a yearly expenditure of 50M in interest of their financial loans, now with musk this interest alone will be 1B per year, I really don't know how he is going to make it work to generate that amount of income, I expect that there will be more ads than content in twitter and people will run away.

This is why leveraging debt to do buyouts should be illegal.

Reply to TIL about Operation Bernhard. During WWII, Germany attempted to bring about the collapse of the British economy by forging ≈£130 million in British bank notes. The notes are considered among the most perfect counterfeits ever produced, and are very difficult to differentiate from legitimate notes. by rkadeYT

Wasn't North Korea at some point making the best 100 dollar counterfeit money? I think they were called superdollars.
