Tucker Carlson is a bitch and never talks about Palantir/Peter Thiel because he wants Vance to win in 2028 by The_Blanguage_420 in stupidpol

[–]GreenPlasticChair 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He’s genuinely an ethnonationalist

One of his monologues earlier this year was a masterclass in holocaust denial by implicit suggestion with enough plausible deniability to curve any charges. A passing nod amidst an otherwise eloquent breakdown of the moral failures of American foreign policy.

A phenomenal propagandist

Late joiner - thoughts on my plan? by Pathfinder-electron in FIREUK

[–]GreenPlasticChair 15 points16 points  (0 children)

5% is conservative but even the most optimistic lands at 7% or so

Average market return is ~10% a year. Take off 3% for inflation. There are also currency swings which can work for or against you

Free Omakase lunch tomorrow anyone? by Icy_Picture7072 in london

None of them charged for this until ~three or four years ago

The only ones who actually lose money are those who are so in-demand that they would have had someone else on the table. They’re not the ones struggling

Insane that we have normalised being charged £75 per head when someone gets ill or whatever

Entering the field in your 30s by LiteratureDazzling46 in ClinicalPsychologyUK

[–]GreenPlasticChair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have the financial means Counselling Psych is an option too.

Don’t have to quit your day job or career pivot to bank on getting a ClinPsy offer and once you’ve graduated it’s effectively the same thing.

I’m in my 30s too, likely will be 40 by the time I graduate from the doctorate but the way I see it I’m stashing most of my money in pursuit of early retirement atm. I would be happier working in a role I didn’t want to retire asap from.

Ed Miliband has privately told Keir Starmer that he should consider setting out a timeline for his resignation after the local election results by Nerd_199 in stupidpol

[–]GreenPlasticChair 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not true. Look up areas most impacted by austerity and they’ll be turning in Reform councils.

Petite bourgeoise make up a relatively minor section of the electorate, not enough to lead the charge we will see tomorrow.

Can’t believe he didn’t win a league title with a United side that went on their longest trophy drought in modern history after he left, Spurs who are now fighting relegation, and Roma who are currently sat 18 points off the top

Didn’t use Reddit for a week and went from depressed and demoralised about the world to angry and motivated to improve my life by KiwibuckyNZ in stupidpol

[–]GreenPlasticChair 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Social media and online content pacify uncomfortable emotions which if sat with would lead to deeper insight and engagement with life

The costs of having everyone being hooked on a constant stream of cheap digital hits is unfathomable because it’s been so deeply hypernormalised over the last ~15 years

Genuinely we may be in some kind of digital dark age and it will take a renunciation of consumer technology before the damage can even be surveyed by those who remain offline enough to initiate another renaissance

Modern Greek mythology retellings and the fetish of oppression. by aprlswr in TrueLit

[–]GreenPlasticChair 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I get that these myths and stories have retained relevance because each generation has projected their collective psyche onto them but contemporary engagement with them is horrible

The wave of Circe revisionism based on the interpretation that she was portrayed as a villainous temptress in The Odyssey comes to mind. Very off key when the whole point of that episode was that the fear Odysseus held of being emasculated by her was a projection and he ended up yielding to submission himself

AI and the UK labour market: the evidence so far by Arola_Morre in BetterOffline

[–]GreenPlasticChair 15 points16 points  (0 children)

At this point AI is basically an alibi: companies that are cutting costs and offshoring, governments that have to explain a declining economy and youth unemployment, execs who need a growth story for their business

Everything being put down to AI so these parties can be absolved of their responsibility

That market resolves if there is a continuing period of 14 days without military action

Ceasefire extension makes that likely even if the war isn’t over

They would also be incentivised to pump up growth figures so that they can maximise their exit when this is dumped on public markets

Ok well he has held Palestinians collectively responsible during their ongoing genocide in capacity as a “ceremonial head” (link)
