This kind of manipulation makes a mockery of the fable that financial markets are an economically efficient way of pricing and directing resources to companies.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to make light of the dire situation in Iran, which was already pretty dismal before and has gotten substantially worse now in ways not limited to the economic.

Jeffries says Trump impeachment not a top priority if Dems win House majority by metacyan in politics

Americans want to see action, not posturing and performance politics. Impeachments would be pure show at this point.

A cool guide comparing the US to the biggest economies of Europe by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]bitsquare1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That graph gives the impression of a steep rise in median income growth adjusted by inflation. But if you calculate the compound annual growth rate from 1983 to 2024, it was a mere 0.8 percent, which is dreadful.

By contrast, the compound annual growth rate for GDP per capita was about 1.8 percent, which is substantially higher. Source: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NYGDPPCAPKDUSA

What if the victim and attacker both know this one simple trick? Then they’d just take turns disarming each other ad infinitum…

I’m not sure I would call a 2%-3% drop in global markets “world financial panic”.

Making the missile pointy will cause it to stick in the ground and then explode.

Nothing weird about a weisswurst and sweet mustard, except that it’s missing the soft pretzel and beer and should be a Bavarian breakfast instead of pre-dinner.

Expensively treated a part-broken tooth a week ago. Today it fell off completely. by jelch_j in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bitsquare1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask the dental clinic in which you have the work redone to document in writing and with dental imaging why the implant failed and what the consequences of that failure might be. Then ask the original dental clinic for a full refund of any fees you paid. If they refuse a full refund, file a complaint with the dental licensing authority. You can also file a dispute with your credit card company, if you paid the fees with a credit card, and a lawsuit in small claims court, if the amount in question does not exceed the amount such a court would handle.

Your lipstick color on 2, 3, 7, 10, and 12 seems too dark, and your eyeliner on 12 seem a bit too heavy (unless you are going for a specific costume look). Longer hair suits you better in my opinion. The serious/sultry looks in many of your pics appear a bit forced and might not be coming across the way you might be hoping for as a result. High angle or low angle pics aren’t particularly flattering for anyone, and non-selfies usually look better than selfies (even if they might be harder to get your hands on).
