The person thinks inflation and pyramid schemes are the same thing. I think your argument is falling on deaf ears.

Pause.

Alan Moore

Saga of the Swamp Thing and Watchmen are two amazing runs of comics he wrote.

Huge fan of his recent-ish novel, Jerusalem.

Literally boots.

Work boots for my jobs doing physical labor. I would spend around or slightly under $100 every year for a new pair because theater, construction and pest control destroyed a pair a year.

Then I bought Redwings for close to $300. They lasted 3 years before the pandemic and likely would continue to last in those types of career for years to come.

Navi from Ocarina of Time.

Literally the Clippy of Zelda.

“Hey! Listen!”

How about shut the fuck up you stupid firefly from hell?

I’m one of those people who has never really stopped having cravings. It only gets bad when I’m really stressed but it is low key there 24/7.

Thankfully, it’s only really a battle when I’m stressed.

Enshrouded and Old School Runescape

The Beatles had a huge and demonstrable effect on a large portion of rock n roll music. I’m not their biggest fan in any way, but you can literally see how they helped initiate a huge change in popular music in their era if you look at what came before them and what came after. It’s pretty disingenuous to claim it was mainly only hype.

“Walden (/ˈwɔːldən/; first published in 1854 as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is a book by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon the author’s simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and—to some degree—a manual for self-reliance.[2]”

It’s his “independence” and “self reliance” parts that make him a hypocrite

This doesn’t invalidate everything he says and does.

But it’s really easy to be “independent” when someone else foots the bill for the land you’re living on and you mom does your laundry for you.

Latin. I would have suggested it before you started learning two Romance languages.

There are a lot of operas that I thoroughly enjoy that are largely in Italian that are just incredibly moving. Pavarotti singing Pagliacci is insanely moving, as one example.

The issue isn’t the amount of money in circulation. Who do you think controls the prices that thereby makes your money worth less? It’s not demand from the consumer, it’s greed from the seller. Going back on a peg to gold would just mean less poor people have even less money.

It also cripples the functioning of the federal government by creating a financial restraint. The only real constraint on the US federal government and those like it is resources. Granted, everyone still pushes the false narrative that the federal government needs to collect the money it creates before spending it and barely anyone questions this. Governments suspended the gold standard when they wanted to anyway: see FDR’s actions during WW2 as an example.

The real issue is the absolute greed and psychopathic lust for power of the elite. We need to take back our own governments and tax these people out of their wealth and thereby reduce their power and influence.
