+1 Singapore. Good food, I don’t stand out in a crowd, future city.

I don’t know about overvaluation of individual companies, but i do know that DJIA is overrated legacy crap from the 1870’s that only exists because human computational power was limited.
The S&P is going to be much more reliable a metric than, “Here’s 30 companies to buy stock in chaps” targeted at conservative WSJ readers.
There is an ongoing drought in the high Andes. Quito and other areas are reliant on hydroelectric power.
They have to balance between hydroelectric power and drinking water.
This is affecting Bogota to the north as well.
Quito is generally ideal for solar power solutions but it hasn’t happened at scale for whatever reason.
I stopped distro hopping and started hopping around Mastodon instances instead.
I currently have two active accounts. One is more established but the server goes down for days at a time.
The other is pretty robust but I’m still establishing myself there.
I echo the sentiment that there aren’t a lot of Asian people on Mastodon. Although it seems that vivaldi.net is mostly Japanese people.
Yeah, thanks. Between ThinkPads and system76 and Fairphone, it’s pretty easy to maintain. Monitor is a Dell U3014. It was over a thousand dollars new but these days it’s under $200 used and I’ve replaced the mainboard in it twice for about $145 each time. Everything was purchased slightly used so that saves a lot.
Live below my means, invest the rest.
I don’t dress or act like people in my pay range. My house is small and in a quiet neighborhood and cost less than my salary. Car is older but paid off and I know all the quirks and have the toolbox in the back to fix it. It is probably one of the top 5 most reliable cars in history. My work dress shoes are 10 years old and my around the house shoes were new in 2019.
I spend my money where I spend my time. So I have a nice phone, a very nice monitor and mechanical keyboard, and a good computer. And all with the right to repair philosophy. Same for my wife and kids. And also good running shoes, good exercise equipment.
The plan is to get to a point where I can just not work at all and maintain my lifestyle. Three percent rule and all that. And also help launch my kids.
Something about a 25 year roof and a Japanese shit box car in my fortress of solitude.
FWIW I grew up really really really poor like you wouldn’t believe so I’m okay with this.
No, you will be added to a list that gets sold around. Better to keep that data point private so you don’t become a target.
I’m pretty sure the pollsters aren’t cold calling or cold texting people any more. It is more likely than not, a scam.
The only poll that matters is election day.
It hypes investors. Investors are the customers.
Great program. Needs better pay and more funding. A pathway for future federal service and job experience for young adults.
I assume programs like this, that we need to grow and to give more funding, would be eliminated depending on the results of this election.
Also since the article kept giving me popups about registering for $1, I archived it here: https://archive.ph/MM8WG
Colonized minds only see power in the behavior of their oppressor. So to become powerful like them, mimic their behavior and you will gain acceptance.
We’re still new to the game, and we have no idea what we’re looking for.
Oh. So the problem is the people who have been in the workforce all of two fucking years and who are likely so low ranking that they are nowhere in any position to make a difference even with their own work schedule.
Not the people who have been in charge for decades, dragging their feet, misleading, buying/funding shit candidates, gaming the market, and who still openly deny climate change.
Fuck outta here.
Probably still Firefox. The web is shit.
Swastikas painted on our house when I was a kid.
Kids yell in the public park tell me that I have to go back. When pushing my son in a stroller.
Getting told that I will have to pay for stuff when I pick it up at the store at Dollywood, like I don’t know how a merchant economy works.
Had to fight a lot in the feral public school system growing up. All the ching chong jokes.
Being referred to as “chowie” by a prominent basketball scout while in high school.
Being asked if I eat dogs by my boss. In 2023.
Being asked if my mom was an Asian whore by another boss. In 2018.
Being told that I’m not Asian and that some white girl looks more Asian than me and how can I even claim to be Asian when I don’t have squinty eyes?
Jokes about my ancestry when they can’t place me.
Being pulled into secondary every time I travel through Paris CDG because I always get flagged. And one Securitas security officer telling me that Americans will never accept me as American when I finished.
Dating scene as a teen, everything going well, then meeting the parents, then being told I wasn’t allowed to date their white daughter anymore. Like clockwork. Which is fine, they can’t handle the spice in my food anyway.
I was a much more interesting person as a kid. Around 13-15. I lived in a tent one year. I contributed to a Linux distribution. I learned guitar and scheitholt and harmonica and wrote songs. I swam in the lake. I experimented with technology. I fell asleep under the stars. I played basketball in the dirt. I didn’t wear shoes.
So … that.
US Civil war vets who lived to be 90 married little girls at the end of their life. Usually it was an arrangement. The little girls would then be eligible for the pension and it transferred to them when the veteran died. Some of these girls themselves lived to their 90s, hence you had state governments still pay civil war annuities in the era of TikTok.
