Picked up a new car today, definitely a proud moment. 🚗 Grateful for the progress I’ve made through crypto trading and for the guidance from @NikolinaSabljc along the way. 📈🙏
If you’re looking forward to get into it , she’s worth reaching out to @NikolinaSabljc
Return for solace to the beauty of literature, and philosophy, and the arts. Whoever, however mighty, claims to speak for them or to control them does not encompass a fraction of what they are. They could never.
It’s so simple if you think about it like this.
Money was gold and gold was money. $35 for one ounce. 1 ounce = $35. Fixed.
Then they decoupled the price of money from the price of gold, money was no longer gold.
Then suddenly the price of gold went to $800. Why would that be?
I had my doubts about crypto trading at first, but @NikolinaSabljc helped change my perspective. With her guidance, I’ve learned a lot and recently made a €46,000 profit. I’m grateful for the experience and everything I’ve learned along the way. 📈😊
I got a love letter from An Post yesterday. It advised me that I was being required to pay custom charges on a delivery of a book
The item they’re holding for ransom is worth €6. This attracts an import duty of €3 and—wait for it—an An Post Admin Fee of €6.95, total €9.95.
My €6 item has now cost me €15.95!
Thanks ever so much, An Post (not forgetting the Revenue Commissioners, our caring Government, and the cuddly EU)—I love you too!
@ProctorPete@mobfecit I think that that’s what may have happened on this occasion, although I checked my orders on Amazon and I did order any books in the last 2 months or so It’s a mystery!
@MGuinness891617 I do. I often make a purchase I don't really need just to do my little bitto keep those bookshops afloat. But there are books I need that I can't get locally
I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism.
As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.
