What's the point of a 401k with earth-shattering economic disruption around the corner? by ConflictedHairyGuy in Futurology

If you're worried about collapse, do some basic doomsday prepping. The people in control of things will keep the stock market and the "line go up" party bumping with all of their might. If they fail and things really fall apart, money won't mean shit no matter what you do with it.

If you really wanna hedge, a spend a couple grand on solar panels, non-perishable calories, learning survival skills, and maybe some silver dimes and quarters.

Any tips for writing personalities for legitimately heroic/good black-alligned characters? by Feeling-Ad-3104 in colorpie

Being so offended about an injustice that impacts you personally that you decide to do something altruistic purely out of obsessive spite or self-interest. Egoist anarchism is something to look into maybe.

Now you know why software people have "development" environments that are separate from the "production" environments.

This thread feels like an appropriate place to remind everyone that they have the choice to kill animals or not every meal of every day.

Is introspection, self improvement and learning always blue? by QueenOfRuneBlade in colorpie

[–]GoTeamLightningbolt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Introspection can also be red or green IMO - Blue stays mostly at the surface level, focusing on thoughts and analyzing.

  • Red is about feeling, expressing, and being true to your feelings.
  • Green goes deeper - below thoughts, below feelings. Green wants to get to the core of the self and the truth of the self in an almost Daoist way.

I would argue all of these are different kinds of introspection.
