The difference is that a community of people is downvoting and upvoting content. It’s not one person controlling what you see.

Agreed. I’m talking about deflation though. The debts you acquire balloon in size, even without interest, during deflation.

2% is actually pretty good and about what you want. Maintaining flat spending power sounds great on paper, but also puts an economy at increased risk of recession and citizens at increased risk of ballooning debt.

If you ever apply for a job as an Armorer, keep this out of the cover letter.

So cool, so wise!

People straight up knew people their age that died, and STILL didn’t get vaccinated.

Climate change is a big reason for the policy denials for property insurance. What wasn’t risky 20 years ago is much riskier today. Data doesn’t lie.

We don’t need to legalize. If we decriminalized, then took the money for jailing and funded mandatory treatment, we could do what Portugal did in the early 00’s.

Minor clarification -Technically it was decriminalized, not legalized. Distribution will send you to jail and, after 2 or more possession offenses, you’re forced into a treatment program.

And sadly, things have started to get worse again in Portugal. Lately they’ve been sending fewer people to treatment, and surprise surprise, usage and deaths have gone up.

They want fuel for Trump’s lie that Biden is withholding money or gave all the disaster relief money to migrants.

Fucking disgusting.

I feel like all of your knowledge about “middle management” is derived from The Office.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I thought you could only upvote / downvote posts. Comments were just a thread, and whoever commented first was at the top.

Hence why a lot of our early shitposting was just commenting “first” as soon as an interesting post when live.

I should’ve clarified.

It had post voting, but no comment voting.

My migration was primarily driven by threading, voting, and ads.

Obama was right. Once people lived with the ACA, they wouldn’t want to go back. The GOP knows that now, so now they’re going to pretend that they fixed it.
