Nothing matters and all you have are the stories and the memories

I’m truly amazed that this was ever a thing. The US is a case study of destroying value while raising GDP.

Me on soul calibur

This is something I’m getting back to appreciating as I get older. Just listening to music. Vinyl also helps the experience because of the whole ritual of putting on a record.

The extreme poverty one is laughable especially when criteria to define extreme poverty is ridiculous. Extreme poverty in places where you earn less than $1.90 but can still have subsistence farming and community doesn’t make sense - also if living in San Francisco and earning $2/day isn’t extreme poverty… I don’t know what is.

Poverty shouldn’t be tied to capital but to standards of living - that would be a completely different story.

Rest assured, I’m from Lisbon and all family is as well. I never thought of any place in Portugal as “inbred” (other stereotypes apply to different regions though). Love the Azores, btw.
