belize is beautiful and has great scuba diving

but it’s corrupt as hell and full of the worst boomer american/canadian retirees imaginable living the touristy parts as well as a mecca for general fuckups and rejects that need an english speaking country to flee to because they can’t handle mexico

there’s a reason why john mcafee was there

belize has an extradition treaty. the nicest countries that dont are vietnam, indonesia, taiwan, some euro microstates, emirates and kuwait, but shes high profile enough that they might send a diplomat to ask for her and prolly any of em would give her up. you need active hostility, so prolly more like prc or russia

out of all of these, indonesia always seemed to me to be the best option. but realistically, if you're a rich white lady, you're going to go to bali or somewhere on java where it's way too easy for non-corrupt authorities to get you, in a high profile case. there's zero chance holmes would survive life somewhere in the jungles of borneo or sumatra where a small bribe makes the local cops forget they've even ever seen a white person

same with uae and kuwait. dubai and abu dhabi are the only places she'd be caught dead, and it's not like she could blend in in one of the lower tier emirates because she'll absolutely refuse to wear an abaya

the best option would be the serb majority part of kosovo, where kosovar authorities aren't really in control. but if you're willing to do that, you might as well sell your soul to putin and live in luxury in st petersburg

remember a few years back when amazon had that open contest for cities to bid to become their second headquarters, and every city in the us made a beeline for jeff bezoss boots and began licking them? and then amazon picked virginia for hq2?

well...

weirdly there is no mention of amazon "pausing" all of the tax abatements and subsidies it was granted in exchange for locating hq2 in virginia

I mean I guess like nuclear weapons the people who have them are bad but it's still bad for more other people to get them

Also, if only a few companies have them and they're ridiculously expensive to train, theoretically it would be possible to regulate them out of existence, but once everyone on the internet has them that's totally impossible

Forget ChatGPT - NEW A.I app changes content creation FOREVER(again)..

Is it REALLY possible or are these guys just hyping things up?

That’s the VERY first thing I thought when I checked out this new, A.I app today..

Is it REALLY possible for an Artificially Intelligent Machine to write QUALITY, Engaging Content for my sites in under 90 seconds?

And is it REALLY possible for me to NOT be able to tell whether this content was created by a machine or by a human?

ANNND is it REALLY possible for me to FINALLY never have to write content EVER again?

I just had to see if for myself to believe it.

And I gotta tell you..

I was BLOWN away!

I was able to actually SEE this A.I app write a PERFECTLY readable article in one of the HOTTEST niches out there in under 60 seconds!

I saw it with my OWN eyes!

Once you have the power to create a LIMITELESS amount of QUALITY engaging content in ALL the hottest and most profitable niches, you truly have the power to do ANYTHING online.

And TODAY, you have that chance!

one weird trick to save money on laundry, keep your thermostat set real high so you don't need sheets at all

when my ex and i had newborns she didn’t want to risk them suffocating in blankets at night so we did this. i got used to sleeping without anything at all on the bed and when i went back to use sheets and blankets, I couldn’t stand it

these fuckers just dumping a bunch of plastic in the ocean instead of giving them away to kidults. i suppose that would further saturate the market and hurt the value of kidult collectibles though
