The effect seems to be even bigger than the one following the economic crisis of 2007/8 which surprises me. Did the opposition suddenly get better at blaming?

Imagine putin started setting his trolls on the agenda of whatever kompromat they have on trump. I imagine it's a lot. That would definitely make trump mad. First and foremost he protects his ego.

I'm not sure if that's how posting things to the public works. Optics will always be a part of that.

Honestly the jump in the etfs is kind of crazy. I expected a rebound from the recent dip but not like that

That's only helpful if you feel like there have actually been improvements over the last few years/decades.

A lot of people feel like crime is constantly rising, morals in general are not being valued anymore and that the economy is constantly in decline. Mixed with a widespread believe that most politicians are bought anyways.

These feelings aren't rooted in facts but they are there and they make it difficult to simultaneously believe in gradual improvement.

Isn't there value in niche projects? If we just had freebsd it wouldn't cover all the usecases there are and it shouldn't. Niche usecases sometimes need niche software

Yeah I only just saw the times on the graph of OP. That's strange indeed.

I just wanted to say, if I planned to retire then that would have been f'ing scary. It played out ok in the end. But trusting that when literally your life's savings are at stake is a big ask

God. Damnit. I just managed to be able to listen to Gorillaz without just randomly singing ram ranch. Now it's back on my mind

I'm so rizzed up about using slang wrong

I'm curious, doesn't WhatsApp require a phone number to be attached to an account? As in, I thought activating it doesn't work on devices without a SIM card?

It's a first step. One thing this will (hopefully) provide is more accurate data on exactly how much wealth is being hoarded. The current data is being assumed to be underestimating the actual numbers

Well if it is skipping like a dipshit, talks like a dipshit, looks like a dipshit....

I'm 27 and that comment didn't make any sense to me. The oldening has officially begun

Hm yes, but if someone takes a picture of me without me asking for it that's different

That headline had me confused a bit before I realised it's about stuff originating from Kazakhstan

What is this spaghetti cucumber looking alien snack?!

For background, Kristall is obviously cristal in German, which is associated with cleanliness and purity and high value. The name plays into the idea of "cleaning" Germany from the "dirty" parts of society

Well now I am imagining cows in silly costumes trying to trick the machine into not recognising them

It's actually uncommon to refer to the November pogrom as Kristallnacht in German because it's the positive spin the Nazis put to that. It's not outright taboo but it can be a dog whistle
