Thus, when you're tempted to share a Politico article, please look instead for an article from a different source.

(Also, if you're wondering, know that Axel Springer, the mass media company, has nothing to do with Springer, the science publisher (the one with the chess knight logo; it's named after Julius Springer; it deserves criticism of its own, but a different kind.)

Full disclosure: Examples are not recommendations. UNI or HYPE could probably drop another 99% if they got double dog dared. I have started stacking up some UNI after doing this research and making this chart a couple days ago, but I cannot recommend it because it's trading at a P/E or "revenue multiple" of around 80-100/1, which is not very good - better than Tesla but worse than Google (for 2 well known "tech bubble" examples).

It's still probably much safer to slowly stack up hard money like Bitcoin or gold or silver, which have no P/E or revenue, and instead directly benefit from ongoing decay of the dollar. This info chart ignores that and focuses on the mechanics of investing in brands, for educational purposes only.

Why do this? Because surveillance capitalism wants you to be less free. It wants you to be glued to the screen. It wants you to buy whatever advertisers want you to buy. But you can fight back by deliberately poisoning your data.

The way everything makes you happy is the same. The hormones through which they make you happy is the same and there is no limit to this. For example, you might think that a certain type of food makes you happy in a different way than another type of food but this is an illusion, they are all the same actually. They all make you secrete more dopamine and nothing more or different. Every kind of drug makes you happy in the same way. Furthermore, the more things you experience that makes you happy, the harder it will become for you to be happy because your standards will increase each time. So please keep this in mind, you dont have to try everything in life even if it is for only once. Every happiness that you experience is the same. Dont fall into the illusion that they are different just because the source of happiness is different, it is always the same happiness. There is only one type of happiness. There was an experiment where they gave rats dopamine and then those rats died from hunger. The happiness you experience from eating is the same as the happiness from cocaine. They are all the same. Do not fall for consumerism.

@youshouldknow YSK that you can post to Lemmy from Mastodon, and Mastodon users can interact in Lemmy threads. This is a Mastodon account.

Seems like there's a new wave of Lemmy users, thought they may find that interesting! It can also work with other Fediverse software as well. It's all interconnectable. It's not perfect and there's some quirks due to Lemmy being a forum and Mastodon being a microblog. But you can ping Mastodon users in threads, and they can reply seamlessly.

White Chocolate and Milk Chocolate contain a ton of sugar.

Dark Chocolate is made up primarly of cocoa. It's much healthier.

As a general rule, the darker the better.

Don't be fooled. REAL dark is made at least by 80% of cocoa. If it contains less than 80%, then it's not actually dark chocolate.

If you are used to eating a lot of sugar in your diet, you might be horrified and shocked by the taste of dark chocolate. Don't go to extremes like 99% immediatly. You need to get used to the bitter taste.

In the modern world YSK about resilience targetting and how it might contribute to feeling overwhelmed.

Resilience targeting is an attack on individual and community resilience during disasters through misinformation, confusion, and efforts to overwhelm, in order to prevent communities from recovering and keep them vulnerable.

You should also know about things that might help deal with those feelings...

Yeah that's right. For a whopping one time purchase of 250$, you get a lifetime license for a @linux.com domain as an email alias/forwarding only. You cannot send emails from this. You can contact support to check if the alias you want is available too.

Imagine this on your CV. It is the ultimate flex.

It's a creative approach that can be further developed in other countries with corruption issues.

Please watch til the end. I guarantee you will not regret it.

(Edit: I know you have heard that line 1000 times, but this, I mean it. I have been thinking the whole day about this video. I deeply respect this youtuber, and well... Just watch it.)

Growing up, many of my male Korean friends in the neighborhood had older sisters who were all totally strict and stern with their little brothers, but they doted on me and treated me like a little prince. As a boy, I was always jealous of my male friends' anime older sisters, and I would constantly beg my parents to adopt an anime older sister for me"
