I didn’t post on r/CTH but my political journey / “radicalisation” was based on joining the workforce in the aftermath of the 2008 crash and then losing my safety net just before covid and the employment hellscape that came after.
I’ve been through enough to know a decent amount of luck and privilege was the only thing keeping me off the streets, and I get a similar vibe from a LOT of the posters here. The idea this place is full of teenagers is absurd.
“Diverging monetary policies in Japan versus the U.S. and Europe are behind speculators’ moves, he said. The yen’s appreciation is contributing to the sell-off, he said.”
I don’t understand this area of economics and everytime I think I learn something it seems be proven incorrect shortly after.
I believed Japan was facing pressure to raise interest rates in line with other nations. Now it’s done that and the yen is starting to recover it’s monetary policy is divergent again causing a stock sell-off?
I’m tired of my income turning into monopoly money whenever I think about going abroad.
No interest in experiencing this so will probably never visit the US. My friends who were born there have very weird stories about the TSA questioning why they live abroad whenever they visit. It’s as if they pick people who believe the US is the only country worth living in to work at an airport of all places.
You won’t just get a butter knife in business class either, you’ll get ones suitable for steak and thick braised meat dishes, which is even more hilarious.
I have to jump through so many hoops to send cash to US comrades so I can’t help with day to day stuff.
However - and you can tell me if I’m out of line here - have you considered creating an amazon wishlist on a burner account and sharing it here? That way you definitely get the specific goods you need without worrying about money management. Stuff like the sleeping bag and clothes you mentioned.
I cannot agree with the idea of them being the “same thing”. Potentially related? High cormorbidity? Sure.
I have AuDHD and the two have been in conflict my entire life. Since I began medication for ADHD I’ve finally begun to understand how my autism actually presents and that I can comfortable live with it.
Before this I constantly encountered executive dysfunction because the two have been completely opposed.
A special interest? A desire to understand something on an extremely detailed level? An important work project that I’m both motivated to complete and will help advance my career?
Nope here’s an overwhelming urge to do literally anything else, we got the happy brain feeling from starting that, it’s been 5 minutes and it’s time to chase a new one.
Even sensory overload or uncomfortable feelings. Hey you want to be reminded of the time you touched something gross when youre trying to fall asleep? Or the time you ate something and it made you feel sick. Or the most anxiety inducing sound on loop in your brain. Since I started medication these intrusive thoughts have stopped almost entirely. ADHD was turning the most uncomfortable aspects of my autism against me for absolutley no personal gain.
My entirely vibes based decision to only use AMD and ARM based components over the past decade is instead looking like one born out of immense wisdom and technical knowledge
“Justifying your absurdity using hivemind baiting tactics may work on Reddit, but this is Lemmy.”
It’s actually good when literally everyone else in the room is calling me a fucking idiot and hoping I shut up because that makes it a hivemind, proving my argument correct. This person is totally not a debate pervert.
Geopolitics is just a map painting game to these people. When your borders are bigger thats good. Why would you not want your borders to be bigger? Graduated from Total War university with a PhD in Medieval 2 crusade strategies.
