Do we know who the artist is?

That hasn’t been my experience but I understand the concern

Therapy allowed me to let my guard down enough to see who I really am. That was pretty invaluable. Not easy or fun, but worth.

Sure seems like it tho.

Yes there really are. Some days it makes sense to me, some days it doesn’t, but the Epstein thing is the only thing that cuts through Fox News.

I used to own a house free and clear. If the value dropped by half, I would still feel a lot poorer.

When the price of assets held as a store of value drops, the holders of those assets are impoverished. That’s already bad.

Now, when a fall in the price of assets held as a store of value drops, and that triggers a series of defaults that ripples across the financial system, that’s even worse.

I can’t see from the outside the degree to which Chinese society has been financialized, but I’m betting it’s more than the CCP wants to let on.

As I understand it, housing speculation has filled a similar role to 401(k)s in the US, the relatively illiquid asset that “always goes up”.

People will feel a lot poorer when their apartment loses 70% of its value, and I don’t think that’s exactly the same as, say, a big leveraged builder going out of business.

You’re right of course the US won’t let one rich man go broke so it is worse there.

It’s like China has a few smart people left in their government!

They’ve fucked up plenty, their asset bubble is going to be crippling just like everybody else, but overall they are in a vastly better position than the US to advance their imperialistic goals.

Good.

We need to go back to printed almanacs

As you climb the layer cake, be a shit umbrella not a shit funnel.

Meh.

I loved the 90s, hit em at the right age

How come nobody told me that Hasan Piker is a hottie?

Well it was causing me distress in my personal life, I was pretty successful at work.

I thought I was autistic but turns out I have a different set of things that manifest similarly on the screeners but have totally different origins and approaches.

I don’t think that’s what these folks are talking about though.

I have been told that I give strong Ms Frizzle vibes

Kissing is more intimate than sex for many, many people.

There are lots of people I would fuck but not kiss.

If the guys are straight, being willing to double team a girl but not make out with each other makes total sense.

Better late than never I guess. But it’s pretty fucking late.

Economists are happy to see us all go extinct if it increases Bezos’s NPV by 1%.

They are a major reason we are so fucked right now.
