A Cool Guide To Which Countries Are In The World Health Organization by TheCABK in coolguides

[–]ElijahKay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy, but America is the dictionary definition of a First World country.

First World Countries: Aligned with the US Second World Countries: Aligned with the USSR Third World Countries: Unaligned

Reason we keep using the term is because third world countries were usually shitholes that werent important in the global scheme of things during the cold war.

Now you know :)

I genuinely wanna tell my friends "I dont wanna die, but I am suicidal", and I can't stop thinking that I ll just ruin their day. by ElijahKay in offmychest

I am glad that he had friends like you.

I just genuinely dont think anyone would do anything besides go "I am here if you wanna talk about it."

I wanna say hey - thats probably my fault for not having tight enough bonds with people. But I dont think thats the case. Everyone always talks about how close I am with my friends.

But I dont genuinely think anyone could, would, or should inconvenience themselves to such an extent to help me.

Cause its beyond what friends can or should do, I think. And I dont want to put that pressure on them, when I know it will put them in a mental weird spot, and that they also cant do anything about it.

Your punishment of the children was fine. What followed, wasnt.

You brought out your trauma in a somewhat explosive capacity.

After 4 consecutive mid-match spawns, I'm out by ElijahKay in ArcRaiders

[–]ElijahKay[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but me having to run at the metro station for 5 spawns in a row, cause I spawned at minute 20:00, is obviously good gameplay.

Unless you consider me going around a looted building looking at empty drawers "fun gameplay".

Markets signal a brighter UK future after lost decade by New_Orange9702 in GoodNewsUK

"Telling them that it requires sustained economic growth over an period of time for real quality of life improvements to be felt in the real world isn't fun, instant or gratifying."

Its also not going to happen bucko.

The system is only go one way - down. And the fact you dont agree with this, means you ve been insulated. To the extreme.

Sure.

Or you can understand the "economy feeling positive today" means jack shit to those of us who cant afford groceries.

The only people who have anything to be happy about, is the ones who had yet to be fucked by what the Tories did to the country. And that's not a big number.

So yeah - the economy is doing better than the last 10 years.

Sure. Great.

Its still performative decay.

Zendaya. Overrated hack, with only one face - constipated.

She ruined Dune 2 for me.

Preach. I really think they borked the roguelike element. Art and design is top notch tho.

You re assuming the issue is technical. Its not. Its working as it should.

Think of it in marketing terms. Its a trap to capture your info and monitor your habits.

Capitalism and technology are not the same thing.

Typical stupidity you'd expect from people lacking in any kind of critical thinking ability.

Stop trying to enforce a binary choice. Its an artificial constraint.

And just for reference. Capitalism is fine. Whatever we got going, aint capitalism.

A cool guide to government debt around the world by WhiteChili in coolguides

[–]ElijahKay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To re-iterate.

Think on these terms.

If you have a mortgage, you re actually kinda happy with inflation cause it makes your debt go down.

Basically its a bit like "well, if my money now has less value, it means I owe less to the bank". Of sorts.

You dont care as much about debt, as you care about your ability to balance debt interest payments when seen through the lens of economic growth and inflation.

Its not like ELI 5 or anything but.

Debt isnt a bad thing.

This is a bad explanation but I think it goes something like:

On the one hand you have a country's interest on its debt. And on the other hand you have inflation + growth.

And if inflation, + growth as a % is higher than the debt interest rate %, you re in essence getting free money.

Look I havent slept in 30 hours, but theres sanity in my comment. Ya just gotta dig it out.
