Glad I don’t know wtf this is about.
Mortgage loan officer passionate about helping others.
Glad I don’t know wtf this is about.
Within 30 minutes of a Costco.
If I’m to believe I own the crap I buy that’s digital delivery, then if they want to take it back, they need to buy it from me at my price.
So many questions I don’t want to know the answers to.
I’ve never seen a flipboard post on xitter.
One look at my old Yahoo and Hotmail determined this was a lie.
One look at my spam folder in gmail makes me realize why I wouldn’t leave. I’ve felt Google nailed spam detection.
I just tried using all, wow, I didn’t realize the fediverse had declined this much. It’s worse than a 250k member Facebook meme group that’s been abandoned.
Having an AI bot is a litigation liability.
I don’t get those but I find equally obnoxious landing page websites that seem to scroll to infinity with no price at the bottom.
United getting divided.
1947, a candy bar was a nickel. 2023, how many candy bars can you buy for a nickel?
They are learning and not realizing it. Let’s put down the macroeconomic books and go back to preschool and exchange the dollar bill with an Oreo cookie.
Everyone wants your cookie. It’s rare. It’s the only one. You know you can trade your cookie for supplies to feed your entire family. So you keep your cookie clean, free of stench and prepare to trade it.
Only now, 76 years has gone by and someone stole your recipe and made an infinite supply of your exact cookie.
What will your cookie get you now?
Every time the government prints money out of thin air, your saved dollar gets worth less and less. War drum, stimulus packages, infrastructure, all of it. If they “found the money” by writing up a bill to print money instead of sacrificing the public with extra taxes, the dollar was devalued.
That’s why the “haves” ended up with all the money when they invested in non-fiat stuff like housing or invested it in stocks that will grow with inflation.
The “have nots” rented and spent every dollar they made.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize every dollar printed out of thin air devalues existing dollars in the marketplace.
How much GDP does this equate to? According to the Cost of War project at Brown University, the failed global “war on terror” cost $8 trillion and caused more than 900,000 deaths over the course of 20 years.
Billions being spent and everyone will wonder why inflation continues to hold strong a year from now.
Where was this when they literally declared war and said “the enemy will pay an unprecedented price?” What did the Palestinian supporters think would happen exactly?
Yeah, same, although I’m cautious. Edge has grown on me, I do like it more than Chrome.
I’ve uninstalled Chrome on all computers in my home. Back to Firefox with Edge as a backup browser if needed.
Streaming platforms are all joining in on the enshitification process.
Soon, people will join one service for one month then switch to the next.
After that, they will all begin contracts to “lock in the price.” Possibly in bundle agreements with multiple providers.
That’s when the full transition to $120+ cable costs returns, but in streaming format.
When Israel declared war, what do you think that meant exactly?
Fireworks are a complete waste of other people’s money. Besides the regular fireworks show (taxes), I like watching people’s money go up in smoke. It’s fun!
