Imagine the amount of caffeine in just one pint of glass.

I guess I have a different understanding of frugal. For me, you can be rich and yet frugal, only spending money on the needs and occasional wants. Some people don’t even show that they’re net worth increased. I forgot the name of the person, but he worked as a janitor throughout his life. When he passed away, to his family’s utter surprise, he left $8 million from his investment account to his family. The guy could have cashed in the investment profits and lived lavishly but he didn’t.

And 65% of today’s dollars is going to get less and less valuable as the years go on.

That’s why it’s crucial to invest as early as possible. Investing outpaces the rate of inflation. I wish I had learned more about it when I was younger.

Edit: added info

The founder of Myspace retired in early thirty’s after selling his company for $80 million. He travels the world and does photography. People who say they will be bored if they retire aren’t being creative enough to think of doing something else.

What do you expect? The media bowed down to Trump. I didn’t think fear of lawsuit would lead to this but here we are.

Even fascists in other countries aren’t this stupid. What do they even want to gain in spreading diseases?

No, we’re making fun of stupid people.

Yeah, but honestly, it’s sad. People who fall for romance scam do so out of desperation.

If it was about God

The irony of this is that Allah literally means God.

Youtube has been intentionally made worse year over year for the last 12-15 years. Nobody knows exactly why. But it has been.

This is the behaviour of a monopoly. There is no better alternative so people stick with it and Google knows it. Why improve when you have no competition?

Will people stop calling the capital and fascist protectors law enforcement? Calling them that makes it sound like they are honourable when they’re not.

Oh yeah, I am not beating myself for it. I know it’s on her. There are plenty of fishes in the sea, but some folks hold on to one person they barely even know. I have chatted and dated other girls after and had better time. I just thought it was a weird encounter and explained to the person I replied to, that the one word/line responses are genuinely irritating regardless of whatever reasons as to why the person was doing it.

I got matched with a girl on Tinder and I started the convo. All I got were one line answers like “yup”, “nope”, “haha”. Then we matched again on a different dating app. I chatted to her again but she never responded.

I get that dating apps can be daunting for many people, but we matched twice so clearly we are into each other. But really, make more effort than just giving one line responses or being matched again and not replying. That experience was more annoying than being ghosted or never getting any matches at all.

Too many people are still convinced that Elon’s wealth is attained through his hardwork alone.

It depends on what commuy you are in. Others are better and more open minded.

It also depends on the time of the day whether you get upvote or downvote. You could express an opinion and it will get massive upvotes. But post the same opinion on another day and time and it will get downvoted to oblivion. You get different audience depending on the time and day.

The initial purpose of karma is to serve as user reputation and indicate that the person with tons of downvotes as trolls. It used to be a good system until spez realised the importance of engagement in social media, and then karma became a dopamine-inducing instrument to keep users on the site.

When I was on reddit, some users would tell me my karma or comment is only going down for going against the grain. I hit back that they are the losers for caring about imaginary points. I also hate that if you are logged into new reddit, it would notify you of new upvotes on your comment. I don’t care! I’m not a kid anymore to revel on receiving participation trophies. The new reddit design is clearly for children who don’t know any better and this is why I think reddit will last longer than we would wish it not to be. If I want a dopamine hit, I’d prefer being notified of new responses, or I would look at some of my upvoted comments if I am feeling that shallow.

That’s what they are doing. I am amazed that no one from outside has yet pointed finger and warned about Heritage Foundation’s attempt to influence Europe. They want to see the world burn, literally.

Even though I have reservations about US-style DEI initiatives (I’d much prefer France’s way of not recording ethnicity, race, religion etc), I do find Trump admin’s policies to be beyond absurd and stupid of just nuking everything.

The good news though is that fascists typically shoot themselves on the foot and end up destroying themselves because their decisions are based on emotions. There is quite literally neither rhyme nor reason. If one reads into Nazi and fascist policies and institutions, they don’t make any sense whatsoever. Nazi Germany was actually on the brink of self-made bankruptcy by excessive overspending, until Hitler declared war to delay the inevitable by plundering the resources of Europe. Eventually, American fascism will just end up eating itself.

I have just read other people’s comments as to why Redditors delete their comments. But even before the enshitiffication, I and others find it frustrating when comments are deleted.

Yeah, I get so pissed when people nuke their comment history. Why do that when you don’t have too much of personal revealing information in that post or comment? Even one of the mods of AskHistorians expressed frustration of insightful posts and comments being deleted by OP. I did not even delete any of my posts before I deleted my Reddit account, because there are no revealing information, and I know some of my posts and comments will be helpful for others.

Probably too distracted by culture wars and other single issue pet peeves to pay attention to the whole picture. My coworker says he agrees with most of what Trump says but is extremist on others. I was like, it’s part and parcel what did you expect? A friend supported Trump for his non-interventionist foreign policy, which may be true on Trump’s first term, but not so much anymore on his second term. I haven’t spoken to him in a long time but I reckon he may be regretting supporting Trump.

What I notice about Trump supporters or those who sympathises with him, is that they don’t really talk about economics or how his bill guts major public investments and agencies, and give more tax cuts to the rich. It is more often on culture wars, or even Epstein files (not dismissing the Epstein files but the Republican economic policies will have more severe consequences to Americans in generations to come and should be talked about more).

A lot of people supporting an ideology or a politician is being in our own social bubble. In my social media feed, I see only anti-Trump content. For others, they see pro-Trump. We’ve became more polarised since the Second World War because of the advent of new modes of communications. In the 20th century, TV and radio were the social media that polarises the society Even if Trump did some good things (remember that he said Hitler did some good things, and yes, Hitler may well have) but the problem with demagogues is that they bait and switch. You can’t ignore the genocidal intent of the person simply because he or she gave you free healthcare.
