Hm… I’ve always been introverted. However as a teen I’ve gone to high school parties with my friends, gotten drunk, smoked weed, hung out with friends, talked to girls… I’ve gone to night clubs, bars, theaters, and restaurants… the way I see it is if I’m with a crowd of people I personally know, I’ve grown up with, or simply my family members, I don’t feel introverted. My energy is focused on them not everyone else outside of my crowd. But put me into an environment where I don’t know a single person and I’m expected to have dialogue with them? Eh… that’s a different story. That environment will definitely spend away my mental energy - UNLESS we’re all having a conversation on a subject I can definitely relate to. If it’s an enjoyable dialogue, then I walk out of that environment feeling just fine.

That… doesn’t sound right. I don’t think that’s associated with introvertism/introversion. I’m an introvert, I’ll be damned if someone hands me food that was not ordered by me and me not say something. Especially if I’m craving a specific food before I even show up to the restaurant.

Because about 4-5 years ago, people were flourishing. People were finding jobs, getting paid well, and then able to spend money, save money, and invest money. And that’s all gone to chit.

Isn’t amazing how journalists try to twist up words? “underconsumption” as if it’s a fkin choice for anyone. No, you devil. No one can afford chit. Our government keeps spending out of control and we’re the ones impacted by their spending. And geopolitically? Just wait until the East and Global South turns their backs on the U.S.

Chit’s gonna get really real.

The blame falls on the receiving end of money.

They should have known better than to accept money that will override the will of its people/constituents.

Meh, authoritative figures can sort it out.

Technically, inflation is just another form of taxation.

Milton Friedman, an economist from the Chicago School of Monetarism, coined the phrase “inflation is taxation without legislation” to explain how inflation and rising prices can reduce the value of money and purchasing power, similar to higher taxes. Friedman believed that inflation could be managed by keeping the volume of moving liquidity in line with the amount of products in circulation. Inflation is when the price of goods and services increases across the economy, which can reduce the value of assets and a currency’s purchasing power. This can make taxpayers less well-off due to higher costs and “bracket creep”, while also increasing the government’s spending power. Some say that inflation is a “hidden tax” that can be especially harmful to people who have the least ability to pay. Inflation and money creation are closely linked, and the government can create money through taxing, borrowing, or printing it. Printing money to finance a deficit is sometimes called an “inflation tax”.

I just LOVE how you marxists/commies/leftists/progressives can only blame capitalism. When are you going to look at your government and blame your government for its spending? How the hell do you and your ilk function while ignoring the abuses of your government toward you and everyone around you, every single citizen of your nation? Instead lmao… you want to blame capitalism and only capitalism, not corrupt politicians, not their policies, not their agendas.

Amaaaaaaaazing. Purely awestruck.

Well the government simply went rogue. It gave its people the middle finger and decided to do whatever the fk it wants to do whether we like it or not.

Can’t wait til people figure out that the sham that is democracy that we force up the angus of all other nations, is the same sham that is democracy in this country. It’s all an illusion, to make you feel like you and I have power. Like our ballots count. But it doesn’t and we don’t. <3

Wow.

Can’t wait to get my hands on the UDM SE!

Yeah but that’s remote management. If Ubiquiti has an outage of their services, who cares? As long as you have access to your controller you’re good to go.

Going with Unifi. The UDM-SE / Dream Machine Special Edition is on my list of equipment to buy. Want it so I can self host my security camera system. No subscription needed <3

And their L3 switch is not too bad of a price @ $1300.

I don’t plan to deviate from Unifi in any of my networking equipment. I’m actually excited to check out some of their wireless expanders/repeaters that are for long range. Hoping I can cover/saturate an acre of land.

OP on dat pdo time. No thanks, jeff.

Because we may discover a way to become immortal and avoid death.

It’s okay, OP.

Per my understanding of Kamala’s price control policy (refer to Maduro), she’s a communist. So if she takes power, it won’t be the capitalist boot, it’ll be the communist boot instead.

Enjoy while it lasts <3

I’m a millennial myself, quite frankly after so many years of receiving robo-marketing calls, attempted warranty scams, collections agencies (not for me, for other people who had my number previously, I assume), etc… etc… in the last 15-ish years I don’t answer a call if I don’t recognize the number.

20 years from now… lol

These kinds of people who love to spread fear with bs should be banned from public opinion. Then again, I would prefer constant mocking and trolling of people after they’ve been caught lying to the public with fear mongering bs.

Sorry, when I was using, “you”, I didn’t mean literally you, OP.

This is alarming, nonetheless.

You leave the country. Simple as that.
