Healthcare, consumer staples and utilities are considered to be defensive stocks because they are always needed regardless of economic situation.
I am minimising my exposure to US stock market as well. There is the perception that the European stock market doesn’t have the explosive growth the way that US stocks does but it is at least safer.
Japan could also be considered safe and their stock market have been on the rise after 30 years of stagnation.
I have not watched TV in years. Is there anything specific you are talking about?
ESG scores in general do not mean anything either.
Crypto should be treated as alternative to payment not for investing.
I can’t even remember the last time I logged in to Windows.
Do people actually flex how much of less sleep they got? I never met anyone who do this.
I think I speak for the heterosexuals and gender binary when i say that the image is the 1995 and Western version of “why are u gae?” moment. It’s the heteronormative society not comprehending the world outside of their own view. It’s usually one likes either a man or a woman but can’t be both. It reminds me of the debate whether or not Alexander the Great is gay. But as someone pointed, why argue if he liked either men or women, but never considered if both? Now i can see why bi-erasure is a thing.
Are there open source TVs?
Thanks to uBlock Origin, I don’t see any ads!

Supporting Palestine is actually a far more popular sentiment than what the rich care to realise. They just don’t want to lose the wallets of tiny minority of 20% of bigots as potential customers. It’s like with many businesses complying with conservative backlash but end up losing more customers and revenue for bending over. Target complied with anti-DEI measures from Trump, while Costco didn’t. Guess which of the two got more customers. That’s why the accusations of “go woke, go broke” does not hold water at all.
“But they’re on OUR side”
All of them I think? The Anglo Saxon culture still dominates and founded the basis of American culture itself.
I don’t know about Griffith and Johan. I just thought they are of the same level of asshole-ness as Patrick Bateman, Tyler Durden and Joker because they are put together in this post 😅
Any posts you may have seen defending them are 100% trolls
I even met people in real life who hinted they admire toxic male figures although they won’t say it out loud. But in social media, they are vocal what they truly believe in. Although many are trolls, some indeed admire toxic masculinity. Social media merely gave these folks a megaphone to proclaim their thoughts.
I see more people saying that people are enchanted by those characters than i’ve ever seen anyone actually admit to it.
I don’t know about you but i see on social media defending and glazing toxic masculine figures such as Tyler Durden and Patrick Bateman. The profile of those admirers are typically lonely and insecure men, which another user has pointed out.
Big Boss used child soldiers though.
I don’t understand why it’s bad to enjoy evil characters.
Just because I like these characters doesn’t mean I missed any point.
It’s not bad but it’s a dangerous line to tread. You may get the nuance but far too many people don’t. It’s why so many people are enchanted by Tyler Durden and Patrick Bateman. These characters are meant to be vilified, not aspired to. That is why the cults of personality and admiring strongman authoritarians still persist because many people are easily impressed by raw display of power. Yanis Varoufakis mentioned we are all susceptible to it-- and by extension fascism-- in varying degrees and we’d be lying if we don’t feel impressed. He’s not saying we all secretly admire fascists but that all of us have a dark side and containing it is really the challenge.
How about we switch places and see if you could manage to browse online stores in different languages and see what you’re looking for.
It’s easy to be naive.
It’s scary and yet many people refuse to believe in climate change. I’ve had argument with a denier on social media. I can tell that the person is not being deliberately malicious, because he did let up on some points, but he’s the type to kick the can down the road and hopelessly hoping to deal with the problem later on.
