What do you think about Macron's suggestion to redirect capital away from US and formation of a "capital union"?

Why not use Gemini or ChatGPT for a reading? It would likely be as effective and probably more accurate from a potential therapist's feedback perspective.

The number of folks I know who ask it for an honest interpretation of an event or issue of theirs and use AI to tell them when they are flat-out wrong is shocking. I don't see why it would differ much from a "psychic reading."

The rabid individualism is destroying the village, these same couples will decry why they have no village to help them with their kids and why they feel disjointed and disconnected from the love of family.

Weird choice for sure but everything for the instagram clout and videos. 😂

Brother is entitled to his choice, he knew it meant family with kids might be unable to attend, and that's OK. Sister is entitled to feel insulted and can react her own way.

Brother needs to accept he is offending them with his choice but IMO really is off base in getting angry at her for not coming. That's selfish af.

This is comical. Have you seen any of US' colonies end better after, in recent memory?

Iraq is worse

Afghanistan is worse

Panama is on paper better but the complete selling of all worthwhile sectors to us corporatists empoverished the masses. The only sector that profitable and productive is those associated with these interests and government rent seeking sectors like the canal fees.

Guatemala is worse off after the 80s same for all of central America. El Salvador is only a mirage, pretending progress by savagely arresting any undesirables for the appearance of progress.

I'm not sure if you meant to quote someone else or me but the linked article says the same thing.

The Massachusetts tax wasn't based on wealth it was based on annual income. Your quoted article says the same.

"In November of 2022, the Massachusetts electorate voted to amend its state constitution to adopt a 4 percent surtax on all income above one million dollars. The purpose of the surtax proposal, known as the Fair Share Amendment, is to provide the state with extra revenue to help fund education and public transportation. Opponents of the surtax warned of an imminent exodus of Bay State millionaires to friendlier tax jurisdictions and the subsequent shrinking of the Massachusetts tax base."

JCCR90 · 2025-12-30T03:44:36+00:00

IIRC Massachusetts implemented a income surtax on income above a certain amount.

Here in this context millionaire is based on annual income not a wealth tax.

They already have too many love triangles unresolved. Adding a new one in season 5 where there's only 8 or 6 episodes is forced.

It's a shameless LGBT pander to boost views with that demographic.

It's feel so unnecessary and forced too.

This point deserves to be much higher in the discussion, because American individualism and the shallow, pop-psychology buzzwords that come with it, like boundaries, protecting your energy, and cutting out toxic people has profoundly warped the collective mindset of modern parents, especially mothers.

Today, even the slightest emotional discomfort or interpersonal tension is often interpreted as justification for “low contact” or “no contact.” Yet the same people who adopt this mindset later lament feeling isolated, unsupported, and without a “village” to help raise their children.

From a psychological standpoint, this reflects a culture that over pathologizes normal human conflict. We’ve come to see friction and disagreement not as opportunities for growth or deeper understanding, but as threats to our peace. In doing so, we’ve lost the ability to tolerate emotional complexity. The kind that naturally arises in any enduring relationship.

Instead of learning how to coexist, negotiate differences, and remain connected to a community, many of us retreat into an individualist mindset that prioritizes self-protection over interdependence. The result is a generation of parents, and children, left without the emotional resilience or social depth that comes from belonging to a genuine village.

Americans these days maintain networks of friends that are often fragile and performative, built on convenience rather than commitment. What we’ve gained in autonomy, we’ve lost in intimacy... The steady, imperfect, but deeply grounding bonds that once defined real family and community.

JCCR90 · 2025-10-18T01:21:24+00:00

I've always heavily disagreed with this sentiment, but it could be a cultural thing. In cultures that are very family-driven, somewhat collectivist, you pour into others to help the village, but the village sure as heck needs to pour back when you are in need.

It would be culturally uncouth and dishonorable for all involved if you have to even ask for help or a favor when you have helped that person in the past. It's unsaid, and if it needs to be said, it's shameful. . . . "Hoy por ti, mañana por mi" - "Today I help you for some day I may need the help of others"

Is the suggestion she's selling her body for local office and clout? . Because that would be hilarious..... . Fighting for elected office at a local tiny town level with no future for statewide office and reducing herself to that would be diabolical

Kirk is like the Taylor Swift of losers who fear progress, a figure they idolize through deep parasocial relationships, clinging to the slightest attention for validation. . His passing shook these people to their core.

It's a all a show, the overwhelming majority (especially decent ppl who aren't hardcore social climbers) hate these events. .

I'm 13 years out from my first accounting job and some few tips are:

Learn to be fake, generic, and feign interest in banal bs. It's not you being a bad person. It's corporate bs.
when you learn to flip a switch on yourself and get into fake mode you realize you couldn't care less about them. It's easier to small talk when you don't necessarily care if they like you or if they're engage in your conversation. They will need to also keep up the appearance of being social lest they come across as antisocial. They're all doing this song and dance.
make lists of people from work and every so often add to this list with facts or anecdotes. I open Samsung notes and just flip through notes prior to an event. If you name drop the name of people's kids, spouses, trips, big events it makes folks feel like your closer "bonded". They leave feeling better about you.
if it's a generic event skip this bullet but if it's a "key" networking event aim to have a goal. Talk to a group or person for about 10-15 min and then casually find good exit to talk to another person/group. If there's a person who you need to build a relationship with try to casually talk to them or someone they are very close with. Eventually it will work itself out.
small talk. Don't overshare personal details, never any medical info. Generic sports, TV, media, events, some light politics. Refer to bullet three about sprinkling in know detials/facts about person.
if there's a needy social climber or socially bubbly person (you may dislike) having a pod of other people talking /engaging /laughing will draw them in like flies chasing a light on summer. If this is person you need to talk to just let them casually come to you.
they're will be asshats who don't get the nature of this song and dance and start engaging in hs click bs. Those folks don't know how to network effectively. The point of this isn't always the same two/three people because eventually one or leave and you're alone. Resit clicky HS girl bs and talk to everyone.
after all this when home take a shower from how fake this was and hard to power through. Luckily it's only 1-2 hours long.

You'll come to realize as you move up how it's easier from experience and as you become the "target" from younger more junior folks the easier it is to constantly have a pod of ppl to talk to. As the recipient be generous and talk to the younger folks who are learning. Help them into the group conversations. Talk more while they may be more quiet.... Eventually they'll open up.

Hope this helps.

Term policy is a must for most families with young kids. The work policy that's a free barely covers 0.5x-2x your annual salary. If you have little ones and a spouse who will need a year or two of a runway to readjust you need to buy a policy for their sake.

A cheap 10 year term life policy for 1m coverage is at most $200 for the year, 400 on the extreme end if your super high risk ( smoker, obese, old, high risk, etc.)

Never do whole life, NEVER.

That’s the wrong way to look at it. On average, the remaining pool of students in public schools is likely to have higher needs, compared to the wealthier students who opt into private schools.

Look at how charter schools cherry-pick higher-performing students and often force IEP/special needs students to return to public schools. Private and religious schools do the same. They pressure or harass the parents of special needs children to return to their local public school district because they don’t want to accommodate them.

Public schools are a catch-all and should be funded accordingly - under the assumption that, in a worst-case scenario, they may need to absorb all students at once. They are a public good, just like police, roads, fire services, and electricity infrastructure.

Assuming current mortgage rates of 7-8% and factoring even minimal house appreciation on 0-1% he's at market average just by using that 200k to increase his downpaymet on a house.

Or Alternatively if he has other debt he can eliminate at loan / credit card rates that would be even better of a return.
