I don't care about their products but something in my bones thinks Tolkien wouldn't like an element of one of his works being used as the name of an autonomous weapons company.
Same goes for palantir.
Yeah he definitely would not have. Couldn't his estate technically sue, those words SHOULD be copyrighted right?

Tolkien was about that shit, he fought in the battle of the Somme in ww1 pretty sure he would be down with anything to stop trench warfare

Anyone who voted for him isn't American, this also counts for the whites who voted and supported him
I've only been to NYC a few times, and that was more than enough. I can't imagine living in that zoo of mud people, on top of jew tax collectors holding out their collection plate for fucking everything.
 

What. The. Fuck.

I refuse to believe that people that have to spend time agonizing over a light switch to this degree have any special immutable power over the country. There are just individuals paying bribes and using blackmail like everyone else.

No more conspiracies. Didn’t waste my time on them before, never gonna waste my time on them now. I used to wonder why there were conflicting factions amongst the Jewish community until I saw this video.

This is why their lawyers are so good. They live surrounded by legalese from birth.
 
I don't know much about the money aspect, but it strikes me as wrong that a data analytics company is named after a dangerous device that falls into the hands of an evil lord.
The company has a price/earnings ratio of 600ish. Which means at its current earnings, if you bought a share now, it would take 600 years to recoup the cost based on current earnings. Their current revenue is just under $4 billion (expected for 2025). That's not profit, that's total revenue. Their market cap (total value of all of the shares) is $338 billion. So if they had 0 expenses, it would take ~90 years just to break even.

For comparison, Google had $89 billion in revenue in the first quarter 2025 alone and their market cap is ~$2 trillion. So Palantir has about 90x less revenue, not even profit, but their market cap is only 1/6 of Google's.
 
Everyone who is left is a leech who can't survive outside an urban hellscape. The ones who are left might go to another blue city, but they won't be going to the country.
It doesn't even need to be deep country. I live about 20 miles up the interstate from a capital city in a town of about 10,000 people with a modest commercial area and i literally deal with nothing about clown world. Unless they're being actively given government money and can be around hordes of their own kind the Untermensch won't come near you. That second point is crucial, they travel in hives and can't stand the thought of not being within farting distance of at least 50 people at all times. Hiking trails are heaven.

This doesn't excuse it but the horrors of clown world really are quarantined to like 0.1% of the landmass of America.

I'm not sure. See a majority of your childhood friends die to equally miraculous marvels of the (then) modern age before you turn 26 and it might render a different perspective.

Is that a fucking 5-dollar bill as a character in a Jewish kid's show?

A Jewish charity named Oorah runs a yearly auction where each entry is 5 dollars. Their mascot is Fiveish which is a 5 dollar bill. They're very self aware about it


My kid has a Fiveish plushie somewhere.

What. The. Fuck.

No one uses this because it's too problematic and not worth it.

The lawyers are good because the Talmud is a bunch of rabbis arguing about edge cases. For example, there's a ceremonial hut called a sukkah. Can you use an elephant as a wall for am acceptable hut? What if it's a dead elephant? Etc

Thank you for clearing that up. That was a bit of a last straw moment. The sheer idea of someone going that far IRL was too much.

Speaking of the Tolkien names, besides Palantir, there's also Anduril, Palmer Luckey's military drone company. Both fitting for what they do (spying / weapons). I can't imagine Thiel and Luckey getting along with Tokien, but I guess the nature of art is you can inspire people you wouldn't have expected.
