  • Don't sell is my advice. Maybe it will take some time but the market will recover one day. The next peak will be bigger than the last, and the next and the next. If you zoom out you will see a steady line up. So sit down, and stop checking your account.

  • In my opinion this is the plan. He will mess with as much government bodies as possible crippling it. Then before it hits him in the face, he steps down. What is left is a disfunctional government and no one left to blame.

    It takes years to repair the damage and meanwhile everyone is shitting on the government for being disfunctional. Result is that people will say that subjects like social security don't work and should be shut down. Who can oppose to that?

  • My theory is that they try to push the line on what is acceptable. For example, if you want something say you want 11 but what is acceptable is between 1 and 10. Then an 11 is not possible. But if you normalize 15 and keep pushing that, then 11 doesn't seem so unreasonable after a while.

    I see this being done constantly. Say that your plan is to do something extreme (take Canada), everyone panics and then get what you actually wanted. If nobody reacts, do the extreme thing.

    We still support you

    I work for a large multinational that just removed all of its LGBTQ+ things. Nothing on the website anymore, nothing internally. Just poof, gone like it never existed. It feels like we are going back too medieval times..

    I am not part of the LGBTQ+ community but I just wanted to say too anyone who feels let down by these big organizations: I still support you, my colleagues still support you. You are still welcome and accepted by many. We will continue fighting for you.

    I don't know, just wanted to say that.

  • Or don't use someone's encryption if you don't have the private encryption key. Encrypt it yourself. But still then, it is only a matter of time when the encryption of your data is cracked. Could take years but if it is data someone really wants, one day it can be decrypten.

  • I feel the same but if I look back, there are just as much problems as now. I think that is because the 'now' is always more intense than the past events. Just think about it, do you remember every sad day or fight that you had in the past? Hopefully not but you do remember it if it was in the last 7 days.

    Some problems from the past are: The crime peak of the 90s. New York City had 2245 murders in 1990. Since 2012 it has not been over 500 per year.

    Or take Gaza and Isreal. That region has been a war zone since forever but peaked in 2023,2024.

    Or Ukraine. That has only been independent since 1991. Tension in eastern Europe is not new. What is new is that it has been stable for the last 30 years.

    Fascism, wars, corruption, etc will come and go and will continue to do so.

  • I have no idea about the situation in the US but normally prices will always go up because inflation. Sometimes the price will flatline or go down for a bit because of lower interest rate on a loan but the also more people want to buy. More buyers == higher prices.

    Some time ago I heard a story about a couple buying a house in the 80s in a big city for an extreme high price. Now that house is worth 20x more than it used to be.

    But then again, I have no idea about the situation in your country. In my country even the cheapest houses are made to last at least 80 years.

  • Investing is something you do for the long run. Investing today and getting it all out in a month will probably make you lose money. The market will always go up and down but zooming out, it will go up. Investing in the long run will make you money. Investing in the short run, will make you vulnerable for market ups and downs.

    So my tip is, invest a monthly a fixed amount of money every month (dollar-cost average) and don't touch it for the next 5 years. Yes, also keep your hands off it when the market is going down.

  • What worked for me was getting allergies under control with medication. I used too have red eyes at least 3 times a week and full time irritated. Because of that, my eyes were always a bit swollen and thus my prescription was different than it should

  • Yes, sure,the war will end if Ukraine's money and weapons will be taken away. It's basically saying: if Ukraine will surrender, the war is over.. The problem is that the costs of Ukraine surrender is higher than the destruction of the war.
