It’s also wild how much of Taiwan don’t see the problem with trump either. Once upon a time he noted they are their own country now they feel he can do no wrong. I’ve even had to tell a relative from there he’s a kiddy diddler and they still went on about how they are finding some benefits here.
These people are like when a beaten girlfriend goes from a physical abuser and jump right into a manipulative emotional abuser relationship and say “at least he doesn’t hit me”
once your standards are that low in a country your life isn’t as great as you think it is. “At least I’m alive”…mmm ok so that’s your standard. Like maybe you want to live past your next meal before celebrating.

This is the thing, regarding Venezuela it’s become a bit of a hot topic worldwide now, in that it’s created a controversy not in the way you would expect. See currently a lot of Venezuelans hated that guy and are happy he’s been taken. So it’s a bit hard on how to play that,
Don’t get me wrong, how trump did this and the reasons he did it are entirely greedy but at the same time a lot of terrorized individuals are now seeing him as a hero but still very oblivious to his end game on how he’s going to destroy their home for his gain yet.
From the frying pan into the fire.
he didn’t do it for them. They don’t know that yet.

Huh… so it’s getting its advice scrape from Reddit. Now it makes sense where it’s telling teens to die by suicide. That place is a shithole where intelligence goes to die.

- Comment on Is there a word for when someone is not capable of, or doesn't try to understand verbal communication in a language, they are fluent in similar to functionally illiterate but for speech? 5 weeks ago:
or didn’t want to try to understand something that was said
refusing to comprehend speech when that person is fluent in the language being spoken
You are either dealing with a troll(who would then use it to insult you)
Or
You are predicting or mindreading a person’s intention(which can bring your own frustration)
In each scenario you may have to make a judgment call on your own to spot the difference.
If you’ve tried several times to explain it; the person could be having an issue understanding it. Might it be a learning difficulty. They might be just as frustrated as you might become trying to explain it. They might even be visibility upset particularly if it’s a learning ability problem. At this point I’d say it’s ok to walk away or find something else to talk about and maybe revisit another time. Or don’t. Just stick to other topics. no harm in letting them alone about topics if they are too complicated and making them uncomfortable. Or find another way to even explain it that might even get through.
If however the person decides to insult you and misinterpret your words, find ways to harm you: you have a troll on your hands and it comes to them easily and they even smile while doing it(similar to siblings when they fight) but they take it too far. block or walk away, do not revisit. Avoid them at every chance they try to get under your skin. They abuse communication for fun and suck up your time.
If you’re around someone in a chronic case that gets worse as time goes on: They have a different disorder and not one as innocent as a learning disability. Cut off all contact. It’s an abusive relationship.
If it’s a sibling and it’s simply a jibe(doesnt get worse/short lived); feel free to develop some jibes yourself to get them back. Here’s one that has stood the test of time: “your face” It can be even healthy. Kind of like how pups or kittens play fight to try to train each other to deal with the real world. And sometimes it’s just good to laugh. Reminds that life doesnt have to be so serious and there is space to play in.
I think this is why language is tricky as there are many nuances to pick up on.

- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 2 months ago:
So getting to the point: I’m not sure of the point you’re making here as the reference you’re using is all domestic funded in the US. You didnt provide the comparison to the international. And the point of the post was that the going up is the bubble OP is worried about. You’ve done nothing more than establish what was already the fact OP was posting on. We are well past this.
If youre laying down information I’m checking it because there’s a lot of misguidance and misinformation online. If you think it’s not appropriate to call it out then you have a big problem here. I’m not going to apologize for being a critical thinker and you’re just going to have to figure out a way to live with that cuz compromising myself isnt going to come at the cost of approval from random strangers online.
As far as politeness: so far you’ve not posted in good faith. And so I owe you nothing. Now you may proceed to clutch your pearls.

…Tariffs affect other countries stock so you’ll get the same swing on the international. Im not sure you’re understanding how stocks work and maybe you’re just saying buzz words? Well… Either way, op is worried and they have a good reason to worry. They are educated enough about stocks to be worried. You…. You not so much.

Shorting counts as income and you’ll be taxed on it as income. You also have a chance that no one will buy you out of the hole once it hits its mark.
Lots of risks in shorting.
While I agree with diversifying, the tariffs are fucking over the stock market hard in so many ways you cannot avoid it. Right now everyone sold their gold cuz they need money, And two days ago the tariff on China created a ripple on the precious metals. Tomorrow trump will fart some blithering assanine remark and suddenly for whatever reason lithium will take a dive for it.
Investing has become a stupid stress game.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 months ago:
Because the moment they go public the stock market demands they constantly have an improvement basis to keep their stock holders in a state of security to keep invested. Like it’s not even an improvement of a product. It’s a bullshit announcement for Wall Street.
That is…until crypto collapses it all.
Tax the rich and fix this shit.
