Umm, the word is “pooticles”

No

Sure, but when you refi to invest, it’s not really “paying for somewhere to live” any more

That decision is true today, but realistically your rent will grow much faster than your mortgage (plus escrow) payment, and your mortgage payment goes away.

Honestly, these types of methodology sections go over my head. How do they distinguish between “deaths caused by sanctions” and “deaths caused by sanctioned regimes?”

A nocebo effect is one in which a patient has an adverse reaction based on their preconceived notion of a placebo being harmful.

I know how this is meant to be read, but I prefer the shitpostyness of the alien suffering your awful karaoke rendition of the song

To further clarify, his big PB-scale servers are for hosting their archive of raw footage.

Same for kids and pets… They’re not really strong, it’s just that:

1. You’re trying not to hurt them or yourself, they don’t really care. This really levels the playing field.

2. You’re trying to accomplish a goal, they’re trying to do anything but that.this gives them a huge advantage.

There’s a lot of complicated forces at play, and this isn’t in my particular field of expertise, but inflation is basically when the supply of money increases, but the actual supply of things money can buy doesnt keep up.

Think of an (extremely oversimplified) economy: one person farms, and another person raises cattle. They’ve agreed to use red rocks to symbolize trades, due to the fact that the rancher can work all year, but the farmer only provides produce with the harvest seasons.

One year, each person finds an extra cache of red rocks, but the extra currency doesn’t actually allow either individual to farm or ranch any more. Each one knows that the rocks are more plentiful, and so less valuable. The rancher expects more rocks for his meat, because he knows he’ll need more rocks to buy produce.

The two main ways that currency is created (again, within my limited knowledge) is through minting and fractional reserve banking. There’s plenty of explanations for either, so I’ll gloss over. On the other hand, inflation can occur if production decreases, or even fails to increase as fast as expected.

Buckle up, I’m sure this thread will be full of reasonable and internally consistent opinions.

So disappointed.

That said, I know how I’ll make my fortune.

Gonna be honest, my brain farted while being flippant. “Financial exploitation” to refer to extracting robux from users. I used “slavery” to refer to uncompensated or undercompensated underage labor relating to development…

Don’t forget the slavery and financial exploitation!

This was unironically one of the worst jobs I ever worked. Management spent months trying to figure out why the night shift couldn’t keep up with the same routine work day shift did.

For some reason 2 people < 25 people never really clicked.

Seriously?

What idiot thought it would take a trillion years for the US to rack up $37 in debt?

Frequently, yes. Intrinsically, no.

As a typical consumer, I don’t want the hassle of buying freight quantities of most of my daily needs. Many producers don’t want to sell less than freight quantities of their goods. A grocery store doesn’t create any value, but fulfills an inefficiency between producers and consumers.
