I liked “being in the neighborhood” and popping down to a friends house. Now it feels like a have to sign a EULA to hang out :/

There are some benefits like being naked. But now that my Venezuelan friend that doesn’t speak English is moving away I’m back to basically not knowing my neighbors again :(

That’s spumoni.

My bird requests good night kisses. They make big smacky kiss noise. She doesn’t peck though. Just places the top of her beak on my nose and makes the noise.

I feel like that’s built in to the joke. Making fun of people who think Nazis did any amount of socialism.

If you’re American try other countries chocolate. Not something like Cadbury you buy at Walmart, but go to an international grocer or pay for a box of chocolates and have them shipped to you and eat them over the next 3 months. Most American chocolatiers try to mimic Hershey flavor because that’s what’s most popular.

I had to drive over to a different truck shop for a flash drive this year.

On my car I use a flash drive to crack the software.

In my shops library they have a few floppies.

:')

I help fix people’s cars and make them only pay for parts. I have a shit vehicle I can give to them while it happens. I give my neighbors rides. I jump the cars, I air up their tires. I donate to food not bombs, and I feel like I should volunteer there. Feel free to ask for car advice, worst case I say I don’t know :)

Depending on how you define good and did it was either listen to a coworkers talk about their inner demons when it comes to being a parent, or I drove an hour to help out a neighbor who asked a few minutes before we started driving.

I appreciate you responding, even if most of what I was doing was screaming into the void.

FIAT and gold standards will have similar issues, and where they differ FIAT is better. Unless you want degrowth, then gold standard is better. Our current economy is built on growth. Without growth you die.

All graphs realted to inequality and general quality of life have been steadily dropping since 1971

I do feel it being correlation and not causation with line go down and FIAT. I can more easily point to legislation than I can gold.

the entire system is set up to steal

The system was set up to steal before too. It’s just now a more shuffle assets around and magic presto you now have more money.

Boomers didn’t really cause this, they have no idea what any of that even means

Lol, fair enough.

It’s more or less created by a tiny policial and financial elite conspiring to takw over our monetary system

You kind of lost me there. I strongly doubt there are people who planned 4d chess and have it to roll out like this. Look at Elon, who has been failing upward his whole life. Look at Bill Gates being a big baby with copy righn. In most cases it seems to be people arguing for immediate short term benefits to themselves while disregarding the future.

were no crazy real estate bubbles…before 1971

If you’re talking about raw size, sure. People use to also be much quicker to violence. You used to have striking union workers getting gunned down by the state for a 40hr work week. We are much more tolerant to being abused.

There’s some other factors too, like people moving to cities and social issues,

Moving to cities have generally been what made most human technological progress. Cities are much better than suburbs.

Ghadaffi…[wanted gold standard]…and that’s why Libya was destroyed.

Well, that is certainly a view. I think we’ll just talk past each other on that one.

I’m going to be plenty sarcastic and start by flipping the “eat less avocado toast” argument.

Most of the problems are with the boomers, and if they actually wanted a better future then they should have cared more about it. Almost all of the American problems are from boomers being too selfish.

What’s that one quote? “A good society is one where people plant trees that they will never know their shade?”

Boomers took the ability to live on minimum wage, after they benefited from it. Boomers took the ability to get promoted after healthcare kept them alive. Boomers are hoarding more wealth than ever and everyone is worse from it.

If the lower classes had the ability to spend any meaningful amount of money then we could easily support people after retirement. But now we have some of the most stagnant economies, and it will only get worse before it gets better.

The earth could easily support more if people actually cared by doing things like stopping coal power plants. But now instead of creating solutions we have people like you who want to force pregnancy on people for your own selfish WANTS.
