I’d say luck will sometimes make you rich, and being good at what you do will sometimes make you rich. Being good at what you do and also lucky has more of a chance of making you rich

It’s *usually not entirely luck, you generally have to sort of know what you’re doing

Nope, it’s illegal in the US. File a complaint with the FTC and they’ll look into it.

I’m almost certain it is

I’ve found it great for tracking down specific things in libraries and databases I’m not terribly familiar with when I don’t know the exact term for them

My balanced sources say Biden has so far been significantly better than Trump ever was

Remote work fixes that for many people

I stopped using Dr Squach when I found out their toothpaste omits Flouride for REasOnS. Fuck them. Their deodorant also got mushy quickly, omits important ingredients, and left stains on my shirts. I can’t trust them to make anything other than their bars of soap, and I’d switch that out if I found a good alternative to their coffee scented soap (🤤)

I use any clear gel, currently Old Spice. I haven’t found a single “normal” deodorant that doesn’t leave white shit on my shirts, so clear gel it is.

As for shower gel, I just use a bar of soap. Anything is fine. What you should be really worried about is your shampoo and conditioner. Don’t use either of them daily. Don’t get that bullshit 2-in-1. Most people use them wrong, too.

Dudes got done dirty in the shower game

They’ll release a second one, but never a third. It’s what they do

Cars are investments for banks too, but I’m specifically talking about buyers. Selling a house for more than you bought it is the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen, and that’s coming from someone buying a house as we speak. I should not be able to sell this thing for 2x its value in ten years.

Houses should not be investments. They break down and should depreciate like any other physical asset. If you built your retirement solely on your house then that’s nobody’s fault but your own.

Not exactly doable since living spaces legally must have egress windows, and shopping malls… Don’t really have many outer walls for that compared to the amount of space internally they have

I like the post but had to downvote it because the English is atrocious

JWST isn’t going in circles, it’s orbiting the sun. If you look at it relative to that, then it looks more like a sine wave rather than going in circles. However from the perspective of the earth, it looks like it’s going in circles

Modern societies crush people. It breaks them.

The world has been pretty shit for the entirety of history. Working conditions are better than they ever have been. People make more than they ever have. Crime is dropping year-over-year.

Arguing that this is occuring because everything is getting worse is just completely and utterly wrong. Quality of life is increasing greatly for the average person.

I really hate that this is used as though it means anything at all to most people. It’s not an argument by itself.

… They mean that you’re supporting free speech by disabling and block and supporting them

I have been poor if you consider making 15k a year for five years and having to live with three other people to make ends meet poor. Also, I was being somewhat facetious.

Then… Don’t live in SoCal?

I had an 8k bill for a TIA I had last year. It’s a lot of money, but if you have a job that will cover most of your hospital bills, you can probably pay for it without drowning

To be clear, I’m not saying it’s a good system
