Bill Gates just got divorced

[ambi]

Apparently his net wealth is over $120 billion, according to news articles.

Melinda Gates is going to net herself a nice $60 billion. Hats off to her. She's a true hustler.

[Zuko]

It's an unfortunate outcome for Bill Gates and his family.
I do hope though, that he does not marry again. That would be crazy. This is also may cause disruption at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Very normal how you immediately found a way to insult the woman.

Well if it's a divorce or breakup, it's obviously always the woman. Men are clearly too perfect to cheat, fall out of love, etc.

Marriage is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scam. He's lucky his kids are grown.

Messaggio originale di Mr. H.U.N.K.:

Hey at least we don't cast out people with leprosis like during the ancient heavy religious times, or have an absurd amount of dead due the simple smallpox, among other stuff.

If you're afraid of technology may i suggest you go full Amish? I heard they're having a very peaceful life so far.

Edit: However you're right that AI itself is a double edge sword, it can either make human life a lot better OR crush it in an absurdly efficient manner alongside with many other species in this planet, that AI might deem "inefficient" or "irrelevant".

How is me going Amish going to stop others playing nuclear chicken? Or stop a designer bio weapon get unleashed? Does the world run all the mad science decisions through the Amish community?

It is going to help you acquire skills to survive in a post-nuclear world.

I got outdoors-man skills anyway that is not the problem. Medication needs and general age is going to finish me off in a post-nuclear world. Oh and all those rads if it is even nuclear. It could be a mad science bio weapon for all we know?

... OR be a top donor / investor to said projects, so any opinions from that individual can change the current & future geopolitical "climate" alongside the ongoing changes to the human paradigm, and their plausible ripple effects & black swan events, etc.

"an unpredictable or unforeseen event, typically one with extreme consequences."

Sometimes what people classify as "an unpredictable or unforseen event" was actually VERY foreseeable to anyone who was paying attention.

There's a reason that the phrase, "the straw that broke the camel's back" exists.
Whether it be the final boss of a video game or that bridge that societal teamwork & empathy is standing upon... if you subtract JUST 1 from its health enough times, again and again, eventually it will collapse. :cure:

My point being that ignorance is bliss, sometimes.
Unless anyone in this thread and steam in general, manages to work at the "apex / top" politician circle in one of the 1st world countries or "superpower" like the USA, Russia, China, etc.

Or be able to somehow be a top researcher involved in the new bleeding edge tech projects OR be a top donor / investor to said projects, so any opinions from that individual can change the current & future geopolitical "climate" alongside the ongoing changes to the human paradigm, and their plausible ripple effects & black swan events, etc.

Otherwise, I highly recommend you give it a try to Stoicism philosophy when you got some spare time.

Purposely choosing a life of blissful ignorance is selfish and dangerous. I want the ability to know sticking my wang in blender is dangerous and not wasting EMT time (who wants to see a mangled wang anyway). The jester in love and berserker in battle is my muse not the Stoics. It has served me well all my long life. I must go now and have my cake and eat it.

As i've said before different folks for different strokes, go for 'em tiger keep going ahead. If you're happy in your way of life then I wish you good luck in your future endeavors. Life is short so enjoy it gentleman.

In that case he could just use Privacy Redirect add-on and then use SimplyTranslate.
Edit: or just use LibreTranslate.

Yeah, but things can still be lost in cultural translation. It could be all Greek to that person on a cultural level.

Google Translate then Cultural Translate. For all know the OG post was about a Big Mac?

Touche, I appreciate that sense of humour

Here's one I read earlier today: "Woman from Mali gives birth to 9 babies in Morocco"

That'll be a new Guinness World Record.
