This reminds me that I wish there was a basic course on money and the systems around it, that explains everything like you just did. It’s not magic, but it’s obfuscated behind so many terms and people trying to sell content, that it’s not a simple thing to figure out on one’s own.

Real estate
I saw that you put a caveat in there about it, but I’m going to make it a little more clear.
If anyone here has lived through the dot.com bubble in Seattle (and probably the bay area), they’ll have seen that real estate is great if it’s paid for. If you go underwater on your loan and kicked out, which is how the banks got so much real estate in 08, you’re fucked. There’s not general rule, but guides.
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 1 week ago:
I think people are painting the past with a little bit of rose colored glasses. There was less support in the 90’s, you couldn’t just look up how to do something, be yourself, or understand the basics about anything. We had a 3 “pedophiles” on our street. Were they? I don’t know, it was a rumor. There was no list. It was great in some ways and not so great in others.

Corporations buying up all of the real estate and then price fixing the rent is what caused this. Also, AirBNB type apps, see previous sentence.

I think it’s nostalgia at this point, it’s the first symbolism they understood or something.

There are trolls. Not as many as other places, but we have them.
Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream – people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. (This uses the same social media graph built before.) We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people (think nonsense reddit posts about conspiracies that sound like Markov chains of nonsense other people have said), or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).
The goal is to keep opinions we don’t want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can, at which points they’ve gotten a head start on going viral and tend to capture a larger-than-otherwise share of media attention.
(All of the stuff above is basically the “standard” for online PR (usually farmed out to an LLC with a generic name working for the marketing firm contracted by the big firm; deniability is a word frequently said), once you’re above a certain size.)
from Bannon:
“The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”
So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.
“All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”

The best defense is to call them out on it and then walk away. They’ll downvote the shit out of you, but who tf cares about upvotes and downvotes. If someone is getting downvoted heavily, read what they said carefully before piling on.

- Comment on hows keto working out for you 2 weeks ago:
You are not making sense. If I’m a football player and use 3000 calories a day working out, I will lose weight. When you’re counting calories, do you put the exercise factor in?
Yes, calories matter, but working out is usually part of it. This is because it burns calories at the time, but continues to speed up your metabolism.
Our bodies are meant to move, plus counting calories is a defeating process. I’m not saying eat crap, but try to eat healthier and move your ass.
- Comment on hows keto working out for you 2 weeks ago:
Research shows that small amounts of physical fitness during the day can be just as beneficial as a full workout
A 2019 review of 19 studies looked at this question, involving more than 1,000 participants. It found multiple, shorter “chunks” of exercise in a day improved heart and lung fitness and blood pressure as much as doing one longer session.
And there was some evidence these chunks actually led to more weight loss and lower cholesterol.

Trump is one of the most powerful people in the world right now. It doesn’t get much higher than that. We should focus on him being a pedophile and splitting up all of these immigrant families. Don’t forget his first term, he was splitting up the girls from their family and many of those people were never found.

Look for the grift in every single country you mentioned, because ultimately, that’s the goal. They want the power and control of money. A narcissist is probably behind every one too. They think they can do it.
- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 4 weeks ago:
Wow, this is something that hasn’t been said. I wonder if this is still current.
An average human adult has 30 billion fat cells with a weight of 30 lbs or 13.5 kg. If a child or adolescent gains sufficient excess weight, fat cells may increase in absolute number until age twenty-four.[3] If an adult (who never was obese as a child or adolescent) gains excess weight, fat cells generally increase in size, not number, though there is some inconclusive evidence suggesting that the number of fat cells might also increase if the existing fat cells become large enough (as in particularly severe levels of obesity).
- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 4 weeks ago:
It kind of says something different though. It says the amount remains stable, but they’re dying and replacing themselves. It’s quick in fat people and takes longer in lean people.
It has been generally believed that adult humans cannot create new fat cells. We have thought, until now, that fat cells only and simply increase their fat mass by adding more lipids into fat cells that already exist in order to settle their body weight – this is true, but that is not the end of the story. Research lead by Kirsty Spalding, Jonas Frisén and Peter Arner has recently shown that adult humans constantly produce new fat cells regardless of their body weight status, sex or age.
Peter Arner, Professor, Department of Medicine, Huddinge, said “The total number of fat cells in the body is stable overtime, because the making of new fat cells is counterbalanced by an equally rapid break down of the already existing fat cells due to cell death.”

My brain has to readjust to all this, very strange.
- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 4 weeks ago:
the stuff in those cells could very well be old.
So, losing weight, is like taking a long needed shower for your cells.

A federal judge in Nashville ruled on Friday that there was a “realistic likelihood” that the indictment filed against Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the immigrant who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador in March and then brought back to face criminal charges, amounted to a vindictive prosecution by the Justice Department.
