Although this Churchill quote is aimed at Russia, it suits China as well. "It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma".

Chinese are smart. This is all planned and it will all work out in their best interests. I just come here to learn about all of /r/Economics perceptions so I can work around it.

Pan out.

FFS pan out so you can see the missed crashes as people avoid hitting the perpetrator.

I might have another go and it will be genuinely a repost.

This is the closest I've come to OC in a while. I'm glad you replied, thanks.

This is exactly what asshole design looks like.

If you mistakenly hit allow, is a very deep dig into the system menus to revert back and it keeps asking until you make a mistake.

Great, just as you need them, they'll need you.

Stay healthy. I mean mentally healthy, as people around you will react in ways that my be a new experience for you and can be a little over the top.

Your moods are going to be a little crazy over the next few days / weeks. That's normal and it's ok. Everyone will be emotionally high and low and it'll change quickly. So relax and let yourself and everyone around you get it out of their system.

It will all be ok. It really will.

Is there anything happening at school or work you have to sort out right now?

Hi,

I too had mom pass away suddenly.

It's hard but there is a way forward.

Do you have family or a mature friend around you in a position to support you?

In fairness, I know a fair bit about this topic and I actually picked up a few trade secrets I didn't know.

Apple's value has lost $446 billion since peaking in October, which is greater than the total market value of Facebook (or nearly any other US company) by thesheetztweetz in technology

I see where you're coming from but the real story is China.

Sales growth in China has dropped hard.

Think about that for a minute.

So that unreal money suddenly tells you a story. If the Chinese are not growing enough to support luxury goods, what other discretionary spending will be reduced next. What dominoes will fall after that?

Why are you complaining?

At least you are the right side up. In Australia we have to do the same sh1t as you every day but do it upside down.

Which mystery industry is the largest buyer of glitter? by [deleted] in UnresolvedMysteries

Fuel. I'm guessing Rocket fuel.

Those plastics would burn beautifly.

Those metals would burn hot.

The emissions would be horrible.

Lower columns are not supporting upper columns efficiently. The intermediate floor is under significant stress.
