I checked the hands before I read the text and immediately dismissed it as AI.
In some ways, places like Florida have it better off than more Northern climes that are now blanketed with heatwaves. The infrastructure and culture have already adapted to living under brutal heat so they are better prepared for it. Every indoor space is blasted with AC and everyone has relaxed dress codes. But now you've got regions in Europe that rarely ever saw 90 degree heat having to suffer through prolonged weeks of it and people are dying in droves. There were over 60,000 deaths attributed to heat last summer across Europe!
Have you been living under a rock?
I don't drive my car for anything under 10 miles and I live in a walkable city with every amenity close by so I walk or ride a bike most of the time. But I've gotta admit, climate change is making it miserable in the summer months. The oppressive heat and humidity just makes you instantly sweat and even the breeze from bike riding won't evaporate it. Summers were perfectly walkable 10 years ago but those rare Heat Advisory days went from a week to entire months.
I imagine that security was pretty lax for this event up until this. Did you notice Secret Service swarming the area in preparation for Trump's arrival? Have they installed metal detectors?
lol it's cringe enough just reading the words, I can't imagine how much worse it is coming out of some dweeb's mouth in person.
It has institutional backing now with financial giants like Blackrock and Fidelity now offering their own Bitcoin ETFs. Funnily enough, Vanguard, true to their reputation as the safe and boring brokerage, outright banned their users from buying bitcoin stocks.
And hardcore Bitcoin advocates really despise all other cryptocurrencies. They refer to them as shitcoins and gambling tokens (without a hint of irony) whereas they view Bitcoin as a commodity or "digital gold".
Honestly the best I've read on any social media post. And we all see countless examples of them daily. The only way to improve on this would be if it was posted on Twitter and Elon got so butthurt he shadowbanned his own daughter.
The same sort of skepticism comes up whenever someone mentions new Chinese technical innovations or the fact that China now leads the world in published scientific studies- it is either stolen from the West or the quality of output is low so they must be gaming the system somehow. They can not comprehend a world where American superiority can be challenged without deceit.
Any pretense of that went out the window in the '36 Olympics and it has primarily been a political spectacle ever since.
