Everyone I know who makes my equivalent AGI, except for my household, has 1+ dogs, work crazy hours, and have been told that their dogs are lonely and depressed.

Not one or two people.

EVERYONE. Dozens upon dozens of my clients, colleagues, peers, friends from grade school, etc, have a dog or two, and then they have to have someone come spend time with said dog when they're putting 10+ hours away from them.

Wag/Rover/etc is part of their crazy consumer spending. I always am shocked to hear they're spending $1000 a month on their pets.

Americans are insane about their pets. Instead of buying a dog, I invest in corporate veterinary hospitals, because it's crazy profitable.

WHY do they act like visa and mastercard are the only players in this game.

Because, functionally, they are. The Visa/Mastercard Cartel has a lock on more than 80% of the market. "American Express" sits at 18%, because they signed a cartel alignment deal with V/MC.

Discover, by contrast, sits at 2% of the market by transaction frequency.

Vote for people that break up monopolies and don't take bribes to let monolithic companies grow even bigger.

Wouldn't that be nice? Unfortunately, the Corrupt Shitrag Trump Administration just dropped the Antitrust lawsuit against V/MC that Biden's DOJ had filed last September. Republicans are corrupt shitrags who WANT cartel monopolies like this, because then a corrupt Fascist regime like Trump's can do precisely what's been done here.

Gizmodo should be retracting their writeup and slapping the writer for needless sensationalism. The supposed "refuting a well established theory in physics" isn't real - the theory in question is about stability of crystalline lattice structures. And the writeup itself is self-contradictory.

Beyond those temperatures, superheated gold is supposed to reach the so-called “entropy catastrophe”—or, in more colloquial terms, the heated gold should’ve blown up....To be fair, this superheated state lasted for a mere several trillionths of a second. Also, it blew up.

In fact one of their justifications for invading Ukraine was "denazification".

So you're a Putin-Dicksucking little bitch who's too fucking stupid to understand that Putin the Nazi Shitbag's "denazification" claims were a smokescreen. Fucking kill yourself you disgusting Putin-Dicksucking Genocidal Little Nazi Bitch.
