  Those who have stocks better watch out. My friend sold out all his stocks because Warren Buffet sold his massively last year. Buffet does this just before an economic bubble burst. Rumour has it that it may come this autumn. I kinda want to hold out a little longer because I am looking at other indicators, primarily on unemployment rate, consumer price index and retail sales, before deciding. The rising inflation might affect consumer confidence, which could exacerbate the risk of recession. The unemployment rate, consumer price index and retail sales reports are coming out this coming month of August and we’ll see.

  So my cat’s grooming me is asserting dominance over me? The bitch.

  Religion itself is said to be natural antidepressant. I do wonder if exposure by our ancestors to psychoactive substances is tied to the development of religion.

  Judging from what I have read before, some men genuinely think being greasy, sweaty looking and not being clean is attractive. I have read some comments in Lemmy before from men who feels like they found the secret sauce to attracting women: just being hygienic. The latter, I could pass it because they seem like they are neurodivergent. But the latter? I don’t even know. I heard it was more like a 90s and 00s trend. Maybe looking like you have a labour intensive job by looking greasy, sweaty and haven’t showered for couple of days will turn on women, which isn’t really the case.

  This is proof that rare dramatic instances are indeed, rare. And people have become hypervigilant.

  The only time I prefer to read subtitles is if the film or TV show is in a language I don’t understand. I prefer to hear the natural language for more authenticity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Off topic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  most of the non-native speaker can’t really hear the pronunciation correctly.

  Either that, or the audio quality is just bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Makes sense to me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Who knew it is all about asserting dominance. There is a study which showed monkeys with small penises howl the loudest. Not too dissimilar from humans who loves to make up for their shortcomings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s nice to see a more reasonable response in the comments on Fediverse. On the itch discussion board people are frothing at the mouth posting death threats and the like against itch staff.

  Sounds like the bar is so low to be even comparing the two sites.

  Ftfy.

  The Dem party is known as the party of insider trading after all!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is rude at work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In some industries, job hopping is completely fine because of their nature and circumstances. But in my one, it is tolerated for those who are just new in their career, especially the newly graduates. In my field, the longer you are in your career, the more they expect that you to stay in a given company. Each companies in my field have their own quirks, so they appreciate people who stay on for long because they don’t have to train new starts on the nuances (some companies backstab their long time employees, but that is kind of expected in any industry).

  I am a pretty sociable person. I consider many of my previous and current colleagues as friends, but they are different kind of friend, which is work friend. I would hang out with them and go for drinks or talk about things outside of work; but I won’t share with them too intimate details of my life as I do to my long time friends I grew up with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is rude at work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could only get away so much with job hopping. And besides, I have job hopped before, adjusting to new working culture and environment can be challenging and eventually drain you as a person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is rude at work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I take mentoring others seriously, and although I’m not naturally a very patient person, I am always patient with my coworkers and clients.

  This is what I mean. You have to have “people’s skills” because it is important in a job where teamwork and mentoring are required. You don’t have to socialise on every company events or be friends with coworkers outside of work. But being professional and friendly goes a long way. I know of people who may be good at their jobs on technical level, but are bad with managing people because they lack both social skills and social intelligence, which makes them pass over for promotions.

  What kind of spice has it eaten?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is rude at work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is meme has a bad implied advise. You have to interact with your coworkers in so far as you build working relationship to trust each other, because teamwork and professionalism is required in most jobs. Also, building a work friendly relationship with coworkers will pay off when you want to get promotion or recognition, because you will get good word of mouth from colleagues and thus build a good reputation.

  I understand where people are coming from with this, but one has to balance knowing when to recognise if your workmates can become good friends, or knowing how to keep professional but friendly distance. Unless you work in an environment where teamwork has less importance, or you don’t plan to move up the corporate ladder which requires good reputation, or really don’t want to make friends with colleagues, then by all means be “rude”.

  It happened before, it could and is happening again. The East India Trading Company was the most profitable company in the world after looting and conquering India on behalf of Britain.

  Just a nitpick, the fastest transportation for thousands of years was the ship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perfect Anatomy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you think about it, organs that serve dual purpose for excretion and sex is disgusting. You’re doing oral where pee also comes out. Most people don’t think this is terrible because speciesm. We think possessing anus hanging over one’s face is disgusting. But if snails could talk, they would say it is disgusting to have sex where your organs also just peed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Viewers like you⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Like, what are TV suppose to teach? Don’t fraternise with black people? Men should always be dominant over women? Empathy is bad? Christianity is the one and only true religion and Muslims should be deported?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Food.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The EU did give surplus food to Africa, but then again, it caused the local farmers to complain because of competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Food.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The implication is that these surplus food could be given to other countries. But that means local farmers are out-competed (same reason why giving clothes to poor countries are discouraged because it out-competes local clothes manufacturers). Hence, when I said world hunger is solved, but it is not because of free market. But blaming free market alone is even an oversimplification; there is a more practical solution which I am sure will get a bigger pushback from majority of the world.

  We already solved world hunger but due to complex reasons free market, there are still starving people.

  Yes, but the motivation behind the rhetoric is far more sinister and cynical. They’re demonising affordable healthcare as excuse to stay home and play videogames.
