• ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  …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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think most of this is being driven by personal vendettas. if you look at each person on the right, it seems they all have a grudge of some such and this current administration promises to deliver based on revenge.

  The biggest player being Elon: His son Xavier has transitioned. And when his (now daughter) called out Elon’s nazi wave as being legitimate, Elon tipped his hand by saying the woke killed his son and he is out to kill the woke mind(aol.com/…/elon-musk-estranged-daughter-responds-1…) - So Elon sank a tonne of money to sway this election to his own vendetta.

  For Dementia donald : it’s Biden winning the 2020 election.

  For Vance it’s repressed feelings you can see he’s trying to break out the drag queen smokey eye: although he’s an opportunist at the base of it. So he’s getting two things met here. I think because he’s at odds with himself(still eyelining everyday) his soul has vacated, he has much self insecurity and is unhappy with himself as a person and projects that as anger and revenge on everyone who he views is as weak as he feels. Sort of a projected self hatred.

  For the speaker mike johnson: he’s a gay convert, big proponent of the conversion therapy so lots to unpack there. even lives with a reverend while married to a woman. to simplify it : He’s against the ‘woke mind’ because he has a lot of self hate. He’s against himself. Likely why he drinks so much as well and does wreckless shit : nbcnews.com/…/speaker-mike-johnson-chief-staff-ar… - this person is self destructing.

  For Hegeseth: he’s an untreated alcoholic that self medicates rather than face a true recovery.

  JFK Jr: wormbrain. his worm is against anything that would kill parasites. I don’t think there’s much of a human being in that brain anymore. I think it’s all parasite now.

  For Leavitt: greedy and sees this as an opportunity(as do most of the party) - and while we can say she’s young and easily influenced I’m not prepared to let her off the hook on this. There are too many progressive young minds to prove this was a choice of her’s. Not simply ignorance. It’s stupidity for sure. but not from not knowing any better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are harder things in life that are actually worth whining about. Growing your brain isn’t one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just as much not a problem for them to be offended by it as it is for you to choose your words better. Knowing that you made a choice to offend so yeah, you’re the jerk. You’re honestly making a lot more of it if you went all this distance to think you’re the one hard done by just cuz you refuse to memorize some words.

  Only bad actors looking for the drama go for the path of most resistance.

  If you’re thinking the world was supposed to be a safe place for bullies: this is what we call a snowflake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with male loneliness?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the thing though: if you’re having trouble finding someone who wants to listen to you, the problem might possibly be you. let’s just say it’s not out of the realm of possibility. But if you are happy to sit there refusing therapy with circular logic: you’re your own problem and all this is is you’ve found a way to self sustain that cover and you’ve convinced yourself. Fair enough.

  therapy is really for those who are ready to admit they are unhappy with how things are(and willing to realize they play a part in their unhappiness) and more open to tearing down those old toxic behaviours to build something more engaging that might do better at relationships .

  If you don’t see yourself in that description, then you’re right. Therapy would do nothing for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with male loneliness?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  • plenty of men out there do planning

  • going along with someone is not a lack of socializing it can be their way of supporting.

  • In fact it’s probably better that a dude doesn’t take over on a woman doing it because that has been taught to be all sorts of sexist now. I know if it were me in the middle of organizing and some dude took over I’d be all sorts of pissed off.

  • There is social aspect in video games too. In fact there is a large amount of social presence online. You also have wallflowers online but just saying, if someone is looking at their screen it doesn’t necessarily mean they are incapable of social ability. there’s actually a skill in online presence.
