soon you won't even own your own [...] home furnishings

This has been a thing for poor folks for a long time now. once they successfully wipe out the pesky middle class it will be a reality for everyone.

Regarding clothes, the low quality fast fashion makes clothes essentially disposable, so consumers don't really own clothes anymore also.

'arrested at 1:30am'

That was his mistake. Do it at 10am on a weekday with cones and a high vis vest and they wouldn't have noticed for a couple months.

Trumps plan to get out of Vietnam:

"Daddy, can you get me out of Vietnam?"

Jesus, I agree with Rand Paul. Its fucking scary when he is the reasonable one in a political discussion.

Isn't this a question of hubris? The title claims that "Rational People Do Worse", but wouldn't a rational person surmise that there is some information/mechanism they don't have access to that the computer does in order to achieve the success rate claimed? In that case the rational choice would be to claim the single box.

The other factor not addressed is the $1k vs $1m. The calculus changes a lot based on these amounts. If it was 10 bucks vs the chance to win millions? that's the lottery. if it were $10k it be a lot harder to walk away from that.

As a thought experiment, its a lot easier to say what you think the answer should be, actually making that choice when there is real money is psychologically different.

The fact that he tried to shoehorn in supply and demand just shows how this person is an actual conservative.

It really makes no sense especially in this era where we have fake descent on both sides generated by AI.

While I probably disagree with most of his politics, I appreciate the fact that he stands up and says Trump is a fucking crook.

I'm spoiled here in CA, we got some really legit spots. Did the birra craze hit the east coast too?
