@preetkailon Weird comparison because when the crash happens, $MSFT will go down with the rest, it will recover faster and stronger because of its earning and business model
But buying it now means giving up on all the hot money stocks while holding onto an asset that will sink with the tide
I used to work long hours. I'd come home exhausted, stressed, and frustrated. If my wife didn't clean the kitchen the way I wanted, I would give her a swift smack.
Not hard. Just enough to get her attention. Just enough to teach her a lesson. Just enough for my wife to understand there were consequences for her choices.
After all, if my wife doesn't experience consequences, how will she learn?
Sometimes my wife would argue with me. Sometimes my wife would cry. Sometimes my wife would tell me she didn't think it was fair.
That's when I knew I needed to be more consistent. Consistent with more discipline, consequences, and correction. If I didn't consistently enforce my rules, she wouldn't know how to be a good wife.
One night I made dinner for my wife. I spent a lot of time preparing it. My wife refused to finish her plate. I was concerned about her health. I was concerned she wasn't eating enough.
So I gave her a light but prominent smack to the face. Not because I was angry. Because I loved her, at least that's what I told myself.
Years later, my wife flinches when I walk into the room. My wife becomes anxious when I raise my voice. My wife hides her mistakes from me. My wife tells me what I want to hear instead of what she really thinks. My wife avoids difficult conversations. My wife struggles to trust me.
But that's okay. We have a great relationship. Sometimes she is still defiant and needs correction, but she is starting to understand better how love really works. I have trained her the way I want, and it is best for everyone.
Every person reading this knows exactly what this is.
Abuse. Control. Fear. Intimidation.
A relationship built on power, coercion, manipulation, and aggression.
Now replace the word "wife" with "child."
Watch what happens.
Suddenly people say: "Children need discipline." "My parents did it to me." "It's different." "It's for their own good."
The fear is the same.
The power imbalance is the same.
The justifications are the same.
The emotional damage is the same.
The only thing that changed was the victim.
When it happens to a wife, we call it abuse.
When it happens to a child, people call it good parenting, discipline, or family tradition.
Children deserve the same trust, safety, guidance, and connection that we value in other relationships.

@hidzdotfm Aren’t they practicing what they preach, the want to living in a homogenous country, and long for their own people even when they move overseas for work, they also don’t insist to change the host country to suit their own preferences.
@ILuvXiJinping@bowtiedcrake I mean, they did practice communism after WW2, and then they stopped after Mao’s death, if you have ready current history I’m sure you would be aware but not sure if is something you can intellectually understand. My bad.
