Hey, even in medieval times gold was currency! I don't know why, except for is shiny.

I mean... If it's about efficiency, wouldn't the military be the first place to audit?

I mean they have shit QC, and their competition is fierce. The Cybertruck failed entirely as a product. That stock was overvalued for a long time. It was only high based on Musk. So it only stands to reason that it would fall based on him as well.

It's all about what level of collapse are you trying to shield yourself from. Like if you're talking worldwide mad max, no electronic claims to wealth will be honored, only physical substances, like actual gold, water, guns.

But if it's just a economic recession or depression and we aren't seriously talking about countries going away... Yeah I'm thinking gold securities, lithium probably. The guy in The Big Short started started buying up water next, for what that's worth.

Yeah I'm not saying any of that. I'm saying these people would be better served learning to not care what others say than trying to make the world speak in a way that doesn't upset them.

If you don't think you can learn to manage your emotions instead of letting your emotions manage you, then you are just a perpetual victim. And the universe doesn't particularly care.

You know what the vocal minority is? Mean people aren't going away, and there will always be one asshole to make you feel bad. Much more effective to not care what the asshole says.

The real question is, why be offended when no offense was intended? What even is the point of talking, of communication, if not to convey one mind to another? And if intent can be surmised and subsequently dismissed, isn't that a rejection of the premise of communicating in the first place?

FFXIV is by far the friendliest MMO I've played. Overwatch definitely needs to be on the survey.

Can you show me data to justify TSLA for even trading at as high a price as it has considering it's assets, quality control, competition, product launch failures, etc?

As far as I'm concerned, it's BEEN overvalued to hell just on the back of Elon Musk's name. So why can't it swing back the other way for the same reason?

I feel like it's about time to shift money into gold securities or something tangible as our reputation based currency systems take a beating.

You mean not learn new things like purposefully missing my point? Yeah, big loss. Where are you getting this 90% stat from? Your feelings?

Did everyone forget the Equifax breach?

Yeah, clearly you've never seen a Karen.

Let him manage his own sleep. You know, I was punished my whole life growing up for having erratic sleep patterns. Turns out I likely have narcolepsy and need to get tested. I'm fucking 38.

Ooh, that sounds tasty. I'd definitely give it a try if I saw it somewhere.

The reason it gets cut down so much is the advertised jackpot is the 25 year pay over time annuity amount. You get only about half if you take lump sum. And THEN that's taxed at a high bracket.

What? Like maybe the open world ones were light on story, but there's plenty of lore in the Zelda universe to do all sorts of interesting things.

The games just might not be cinematic enough in their telling but a proper screenplay can tell the story better.

Emotions aren't inherently positive or negative. It's what you do with the emotions that has actual moral substance.

Here, let's look at it this way.

I say something, and it made you sad. However, you know full well my intent was not to make you sad. Despite this, you use your sadness to guilt me about the thing. So now I feel sad that you are purposefully misinterpreting my meaning.

I am offended that you are offended. Explain to my why my feeling is invalid and yours is valid.

Anyone can feel bad about anything.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm not saying go around purposely making people sad. I'm saying don't make your sadness my issue.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Like my friends thought I was extra confident and brave, but no I'm terrified just like everyone is. I just find the unknown and the uncertain way more terrifying and uncomfortable, so I'm always asking why why why till I figure out what's going on.

Absolutely! But, then again I'm neurodivergent so me not understanding the inefficiency in societal trends and communication is just... Life for me.

I think my entire lens through which I view reality is governed by efficiency. Which makes me blunt, to the point, no filter. But even those who know me well still took a long time to learn that I just say what I think, and there's no additional unspoken thoughts behind it, and had to work hard to stop projecting onto me. But that's why I love them deeply.

You know what I never understood? When someone says "I'm offended by that," society generally accepts that as valid. But if I say "I'm offended that you're offended." That's somehow invalid.

As if I cannot have an emotional reaction to being misunderstood or misinterpreted. People just assume bad faith and contrarian behavior instead of trying to figure out where the other person is coming from.

Well I assume when talking from a government perspective, the conversation is going to inevitably become about highschool sports and whatnot. Where I still definitely don't want to touch this with a 10 foot pole!
