We should have contracts that mandate minimum number of seasons for all of this.
Yeah if I ever ran a streaming service that made original content I'd put in a stipulation that if a cancellation order is made, the producers still get to make a proper end to the series in the form of a final season or a special or movie. How Netflix especially treats their original projects feels like if Barnes & Noble sold books in halves and flipped a coin in a back room to determine whether or not to sell the second half in 18 months.
When's Google gonna put Gemini on the Google Home/Nest devices? I'd switch to 'em if they end up getting Gemini on them, the amount of times I ask my Echo Dot a simple question that it can't answer but Gemini can is ridiculous.

Fact check: true
Primary characteristics of a Ponzi scheme are that they are a system in which people place their money, and as more people place their money into the system, the value of that investment is supposed to provide a reasonable return. So long as more people are entering the system than leaving by cashing out, all is well, but once you have fewer people enrolling into the system, it will start to collapse (like Social Security seems to be in danger of doing). The major difference between Social Security and most Ponzi schemes is that I don't think it promises massive returns on investment like most Ponzi schemes do, but it otherwise functions pretty similarly.
Sure buddy
This is what I get for trying to talk about politics on Lemmy comment sections (again!), I really need to stop feeding the trolls man
The Trump administration may exclude government spending from GDP, obscuring the impact of DOGE cuts
I hate it when the government keeps fidgeting and fiddling with stats like this and unemployment rates to make their economies look better than they actually are
"doing things to make it harder to get SS" is not the same as trying to kick the elderly off of the plan, which is something the GOP has repeatedly opposed
yeahhhhhhhh that's the type of response I expected
Why were they at the office?
What do you think a Ponzi scheme is? I'm super curious now.
Where are the calls to kick elderly people off of Social Security then? Can you think of any off the top of your head?
There are no major calls on the left or right for elderly people who are in Social Security to lose their benefits TBF
Walmart sounds like a horrible place to work. I've heard terrible stories.
It's no more a Ponzi scheme than any other stock. He's right though.
When he's got those stupid glasses on I get hangover vibes
Bro I've been waiting for the bubble to pop so I can buy some stocks at good prices
