Using allegory as a moral proxy is fine. And even a really great way of making complex or dry topics more approachable.
What is not ok is when you take allegory as literal, such that you actually believe that there is a sky wizard who will punish you for showing your hair in public. What is incredibly fucked up is when you then project that literal belief to a prescriptive action framework which commands you to murder heretics.
Muhammad on the other hand, doesn’t want you to know that he looks exactly like the letter “f”
US Christians: “write that down!”
Incredible Communist Party
If elected president my first order of business will be to make all birth certificates fully unicode compatible.
Trump will tell these people that eggs are $1.00 per dozen and they’re repeat it as fact while they buy $7 eggs
Yeah this is literally just the newest version of what people have been doing with Amazon and Ebay markets for like 20 years. Anyone can bulk order random shit on Alibaba and then mark it up for the US market. This is just cutting out the middle man.
Luckily it is super easy to not drink milk at all if you are not a baby cow
What’s the point though? Just heat it up a bit and it’s safe. The only argument for why you shouldn’t do that is conspiracy nonsense.
Some VC funded social media is certainly less fascist than other VC funded social media.
Lol you think the feds won’t notice that a person of interest’s phone went dark for the first time in 5 years?
Everyone gets this wrong. If you want to hide, hide inside your established patterns of life. You want to do shit across state line for a weekend? Don’t turn off your phone, have your friend carry it around while you are gone.
The thing which pop security types miss here is the need to blend in. Being a hole in the noise is like the worst thing you can do. Establish a pattern of life and you can use it to obfuscate your alternative activities. Understating how tracking works and using it to your advantage is 100x more useful than pretending like using a different app store or some random ROM is keeping you safe.
My biggest issue is that I’ll start one highly rated anime which is serious and artistic, and then the moment I invite friends over Netflix decides to fill my recommendations with a bunch of boob service thumbnails.
I can’t wait until we get to 2028 so we can talk about how eggs are more expensive than they are now. Oh wait, that only happens when democrats are in office
Right but you then control the appreciation on a much larger asset. In terms of pure net worth and net present value, trading up is a huge gain even if it doesn’t generate more short term liquidity.
You can also rent out the smaller place and get both cash flow and NPV upgrade.
No rich person is living in a 325k ranch house.
Not that this is “ok” but it’s why “buy whatever you can as soon as you can” is good advice. If you’d put whatever you had into a shitty condo four years ago, and kept saving at the same rate, you’d likely be in good position to trade up soon.
I see a lot of people I know end up in the same position because they’ve been waiting for either the exact right circumstances or for prices to “crash.” All the people i know who started with anything they could afford now have a huge amount of equity in nice homes. The difference is real and primarily about timing more than income or location.
Lemmy has some of the most obnoxious Dunning Kruger shit on any social media platform, especially when it comes to politics.
Yeah there is something else going here. No domestic markets are actually down in this interval. OP must have bought some individual stocks.
Friendly reminder that if your ideas aren’t complete shit then they can withstand some challenge.
