It was good while it lasted 🤷 many of us tried. If the climate crashes so will fossil fuel use, so Maybe when the climate recovers in a thousand years our descendants will learn from our failures.

We're all in it together ✊️

When they print money it increases the cost of everything including stocks, stocks should go up at the same rate as inflation so long as there's no recession. say 1 gram of gold buys 1,000 loaves of bread today, if they print money everything else being equal 1 gram will equal 1,000 loaves in 100 years, no matter how much they print. Printing just devalues the dollar. Gold is a good hedge against recession though, but you have to sell near the peak, you don't just hold onto gold for a long term investment . Sure against the dollar it goes up forever, but not against bread.

There's an important distinction to make with Gold, gold is not used up and its mined, the price fluctuates tremendously but only because of stock market volatility not because of it's intrinsic value, gold's intrinsic value never really changes. So gold will have a generally inverse relationship with the market, but treating it as an investment rather than savings is assuming regular-extreme market volatility, and timing your sell. Gold can save you from inflation, but it's not going to grow organically like new industries. I would definitely hold gold over u.s. dollars right now though, not so much over Euros. Long term it's just a savings, not an investment. You should usually buy gold when the economy is good but you see a glaring market pit(when a republican is elected). Everyone has been seeing the pit already since Trump was elected again(you're a bit late for it as more than a hedge). You should usually sell gold at the end of the "pit"(when Biden was elected on the chart, or halfway through Obama admin). Gold is about trading(timing) not investing. My favorite area to invest right now is Brasil, an emerging economy. There's always somewhere to actually invest(rather than savings/gold). Yes the u.s. market in general is going down the tube, but if you pick a winner in say Brasil, you will likely compensate for inflation(u.s. printing money) without even any actual growth in the Brasilian company, so long as they don't crash. Just puting your cash in an etf and forgetting it is pretty crazy though, you'll do 'fine' but everyone should educate themselves in finance.

I don't think so, I think it's cultural, "the movies" warping people's behaviors. People do shoot robbers running away here, but they go to prison with the robbers.... People shoot people for far less than robbing, we have Americans shoot delivery drivers just for knocking on their door. Recently an old guy shot a little girl that was lost and knocked on his door, cops shot a 5 year old with a toy gun, a family chased down and shot a black jogger, .... but they all go to prison(the 'vigilantes'), it's only in the movies that they're treated as heros. We're the land of retards. Here's a case in Texas where the robber was even still in the house, and the homeowner got charged for murder https://www.walb.com/2026/01/12/man-charged-with-murder-after-he-shot-killed-an-armed-home-intruder-police-say/ You have to be careful getting your ideas from retards

That's just in the movies.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you use voice, or you type in all this information? Use photos for ingredients?

Another Iranian billboard I don't understand why Iran would escalate this walking away from the billion dollar gifts, unless China is backing it, obviously Russia needs this.

Iran is taking out water and power in the gulf states

If you guys feel hopeless, it really is just a culture war, there's no reasoning with them but there is a way to win. This is the reason for the manosphere and maga, despite the claim for "rugged independence" conservatives just want to fit in somewhere, not that it's about anti-white male sentiment, it's because their 'community' is more visible, they wear the same hat lol. All we have to do is 'make more friends' essentially, not with maga but with independents, bring them into the cult. You don't actually have to even talk politics, we have our own culture, it might be hard for you to see but you can see conservative culture! Independents can see the two different cultures. Even just online, or just going out works, you don't have to make actual friends. People are just voting their tribe.

The mental gymnastics... Biden admin prosecuted sitting Democratic senator Menedez for bribery.(not referring to you)

Not true, it's the logical continuation of extra-judicial executions. Muggers and robbers would just start killing people first

New criminals learn and adapt..... 🔫 🔫 All these guys get caught, you just lock them up.

You gonna stand there all day pointing your gun at your customers everyday? Criminals have the advantage, you'll be in a coffin.

I think the criminals watch the news, the next ones will probably just kill you at the start, why would they let you kill them? I thought you said you don't shoot retards?

They're the only robbers in existence. Robbers are extinct now....

Anyone that reacts that way pre-planned that response. @Hojo for example, his forum post will send him to 10 extra years....

Even if he only punched one that wasn't fighting back, and the robber died from hitting his head on the ground, you'd be in trouble for manslaughter.

In no country is that legal. You can beat them and if they fight back you can then kill them. You can shoot them in the leg.

I can shoot a grown man in the back for stealing my scooter, what about a hot dog at gunpoint, he runs away and I shoot him in the back? You're probably gonna wind up in jail one day @Hojo .......

You gave them iq test?

That's murder in the u.s., he'd have to pay wrongful death lawsuit, likely millions. He would have been able to beat them, and if they retaliated he could then kill them, but it was an unreasonable amount of force to just execute them without a trial. He could have shot their tires or engine. He could have shot them inside if he was threatened, and he could have shot them outside if they seriously harmed someone. Am I allowed to shoot kids that steal my scooter? Anyone would get sued for millions, you can push the kid down, but the type and amount of force has to be reasonable for the situation.
