Sure but I don't exactly trust moving my money out of the country into a jurisdiction that might outright steal it or where it could be impounded by the US administration if I ever tried to bring it back. Otherwise I'm game for trying to invest in Chinese and Korean markets.

Honestly... what the fuck do I invest in? I've been wanting to do this for the better part of a year but how? If the NYSE tanks.. so will the majority of other markets. Not only that, but the US economy will be in shambles and money will be the least of my worries - I'd need to be concerned for my physical safety when shopping for fucking groceries because those will quickly disappear off the store shelves.

We pay more for healthcare than you do, per capita. It's not that we don't have free healthcare - it's A) that the oligarchs have figured out how to build a money siphoning machine out of our healthcare system and B) that they can use it to enforce social classes.

He won't negotiate because this isn't a normal government shutdown over budgetary issues. This is the end of the federal government. This is how it dies. It literally just runs out of money while terrorizing people so that even the most liberal libs learn to hate the federal government and accept the new dictatorship of their redstate masters.

That's a problem with high heat and non-stick surfaces. Rice cookers are much, much lower heat.

He stopped Israel from indiscriminately murdering civilians for like a full week. Nobel Prize!!

I think the biggest difference between this bubble and the ones that pop are whether the valuations were built by debt. In this case - no. So when their products turn out to be less useful than they claim, it will devaluate. But the debt issued to build the bubble wont go through a sudden correction that is amplified and causes an even bigger collapse like in 2008 or the dotcom bubble.

I really love roguelikes and I'm mad that their version is unsupported and basically unplayable right now

edit: The Pit. I want to play that on my steamdeck so badly.

My headcanon is that it is in the 40k universe

Do you have to ride a world sized turtle to traverse it?

I prefer the STL in Card's Ender's Game series. They asymptotically approach the speed of light so the passengers only have several weeks pass when travelling to far flung locations but the universe around them experiences a normal passage of time which may be tens of years. This has really big implications on the plots in several stories.

They do have an ansible communications system that does allow instantaneous communication over astronomical distances.
