Honestly I have more valuable things to do with my time.

I’ve tried, but every article even the most inconsequential seems to have an angry bird in the roost enforcing whatever their particular vision of the article is.

Why use a non-example to mention it though?

You may not be able to be rich, but at least until recently it was possible to make a living and not be homeless/require patronage.

The technologists have no qualms about encroachment on your space.

Unless of course you have bills to pay.

I get something similar after long days at music festivals where if I close my eyes later I still see people walking past.

Probably at some point soon social media companies will recognise this and provide everyone with very nearly human-like bots that engage happily with your content. This will probably be even more addictive than their previous products.

Are you sure? In 2024, exports of Russian goods to the US totaled $3.27bn, and the US exported $526m worth of goods to Russia. Not a ton, but more than many countries that received tariffs. Or what definition of zero trade are you using?

How do you know ahead of time when to pull it out?

I was curious, so checked - $500,000 in VOO 5 years ago would have been 1.18 million today - already accounting for the crash so far. The market would need to crash an additional 60% starting with the next open to get you back to your $500,

Wow! Even with the crash, wouldn't you have been better off getting the last five years of gains, especially given interest rates didn't match inflation?

Fairy certain the post you’re replying to was sarcasm.

They can move the market with an announcement. If you have that power it’s quite easy to make money.

Where does the cash come from if you’re invested? Are you just keeping huge piles of cash around in low interest accounts in the hopes that a black swan event comes along?

The bad thing is saying it’s no problem to stick around for a third term and beyond, and that it wants to go to war to annex territories from the closest trading partners who might be able to mitigate the impact of the trade war.

I really doubt they will reverse things. It will take impeachment or a new election before they admit they were wrong.

Who intervenes if it’s the leadership manufacturing the crisis?

AirBnBs are as expensive as hotels now, except you have to clean it yourself and deal with an often insane host and their random rules. I am back to hotels and resorts all the time now, you at least know what you’re going to get.

Even Epsilons can be useful in this brave new world of finding purpose through your job.

That’s true to an extent, though I think there are good local players in most every town, but then using this definition I mean the people who learned on YouTube are exceptionally bad.

I agree with you and upvoted, but saying things like being ready for downvotes is the surest way to get them if only for commenting on downvotes. :)

by j4coh 2y ago
I’m not sure why, but so many guitarists I’ve met who learned from YouTube are bad. I’m not sure why, maybe they are replacing watching with practice? No custom feedback from real musicians who hear you play? YouTubers are motivated to over

Wouldn’t the question better be “would you be happy with the freedoms of a random person” otherwise you’re including all kinds of other factors?

If it’s an all stock acquisition did it generate any liquidity?

And assuming the xAI stock they traded their X stock for is worth anything.

He’s sharing his perspective, you don’t have to agree and he isn’t establishing some eternal truth. His statement aligns well with the art he produces. Feel free to continue being a musician as you have in the past in whatever healthy, suff

It’s a word people who spend their days on the internet arguing use, and is safe to ignore.

Oops, thanks for the explanation.

The early web was largely academic, not corporate. I was there when it switched over. You’re describing a time period after the dot com crash as the early internet, but it was around before that and was quite nice actually. I was a kid back
