  • “I actually think the purpose of a Bitcoin reserve is to temporarily increase the price so tech-bros (re: Elon) can sell at a massive profit. Then buy back at a much lower price. It’s just a way to indirectly transfer federal dollars into administration pockets.”

    This is the way. It’s the only reason they’d do it.

    I seriously doubt BRICS has anything to do with Bitcoin, but the US is absolutely concerned about losing the status of world currency. It’s literally how we survive while running a massive deficit. When the rest of the world finds a way to do business without the US getting its cut we’re going to be in deep shit.

    moreover the idea that Marxists have never achieved change ignores the existence of the USSR, Cuba, PRC, Vietnam, Laos, and so forth

    I think they meant that “we” are the target of the meme as the virgin Marxists not successful revolutions of the past.







  • A spoiled rich kid. I want to have a life I’ll never know in this one, a life without real worry and to actually own a home. A life of stability and unlimited possibilities with all the time in the world to train for whatever I would want to do/become.

    This life, living in someone else’s garage while still spending 1/2 of my income on rent and no hope for future advancement and knowing that the only financial stability possible would require marriage/a second income, and that it just isn’t in the cards is not a fun life.

    Most people just see Fascism as Hitler and killing people. They don’t recognize subservience to and complete blind support of corporate/wealth interests as a flavor of Fascism. It’s why I’ve grown to appreciate the term “friendly fascist.”

    “Yeah I’ll support your LGBTQ+ cause if all it costs are nice cheap words, BUT DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE TOUCH MY CORPORATE MONEY MACHINE!







  • IDK if it’s an easy way to remember or not, but the way I think about it is then relates to time, than relates to a comparison.

    Their relates to ownership. There relates to direction. They*'re* relates to describing (that’s probably the easiest as the apostrophe tells you it is a shortened version of two words, “they are”)

    To actually answer your question though I can only relate to my personal experience and say no, as a man the men I know don’t express emotion that well and we aren’t that “close.” The women I’ve known tend to be much closer to their friends, but my experience is limited there.
