@Kali_Yuga_Yogi@RealAlexJones Make them illegal? Meaning you will use the threat of violence to stop violence. I agree with you but you have to see how ridiculous that sounds.
“You know that if you’d lived in a different place or time, read different books, had different friends, you’d have different beliefs. And yet, you’re convinced that your current beliefs are correct. So, are you wrong, or the luckiest person ever?” — @G_S_Bhogal
I retired at 35 after working a 14-year career. From the moment I set foot in an office, I learned the hard way how f-ed up a lot of our society is.
Here are 12 uncomfortable facts about life I learned the hard way.
2. Happiness is a skill.
For 99% of us, we choose to be happy. Or angry. Or sad. It becomes a part of who we are.
We can't always control what happens to us, but we can control our reactions.
Choose to be happy.
Many do not understand the implications of US debt service costs rising.
For nearly 20 years, it was effectively free for the US to issue debt as debt service costs were ~1.5%.
Now, debt service costs have doubled to 3% and will rise toward 5% as rates skyrocket.
To put this in perspective, 5% on $33 trillion is ~$1.7 trillion PER YEAR on interest expense.
As deficit spending rises, rates are also rising as the US issues trillions in bonds to cover the deficit.
It's a never ending cycle of borrowing to spend which is driving rates higher and leading to interest expense being 20% of US revenue.
There is no long-term plan.
@anyatrades@elonmusk Makes sense, 80% of the comments in larger Finn Twit are from bots promoting some FX/Crypto/Stock scam. Easier to just deboost all of them by default.
@jdmarkman@KobeissiLetter This isn't some puzzle of derivatives for you to beat other nerds at to make money. We are talking about the foundation of peoples lives. Their homes. It's not a game. It needs to change.
@hulu_support Your tech team aware that there are login issues currently in web interfaces due to CORS errors? Happening on all browsers (FF, Chrome, Safari). Unable to access my account at all.
@levelsio I' in GMT-3 (Brasilia Standard Time) and nothing feels strange to me. I get up at 0500 though and sleep by 2200/2300. I feel like you are isolating yourself by having such strange hours?
9. The Rise Of Slowmads
Being a hardcore digital nomad that moves every 2 weeks makes for an amazing Instagram page -- but a terrible life.
Too much time packing suitcases and traveling
Digital slowmads, moving between 2-3 locations per year, will become more popular.
@george__mack This is how I live today already. Additional services that made it more affordable would be welcomed. I’m already scheming on being the one to create some of them.
@levelsio@renanhiramatsu@iFood Was wondering this too. I use my Chase visa here and my Revolut card without any issue. Apply pay works in most instances too.
I’ve been a hospital chaplain now for eight years at hundreds of deathbeds. I want to tell you something I’ve witnessed.
Most people, at the end, realize they’ve spent a lot of their life hiding. Sometimes by choice, or because they could not safely choose to be themselves. ➡️
