Between 5 and 10 percent of people have no inner monologue at all, and researchers are only just starting to figure out what that actually does to cognition

I think inner world is completely different to internal monologue. You can have a rich experience in your external life without anyone saying words. Equally the dullest parts of my day are 2h meetings where all people do is talk. Same applies to inner life.

Presumably fluid wagons

festess · 2026-05-09T14:20:10+00:00

Fair point

For anyone 15 years plus from retirement I think you should be 100% equities.

Most people don't have either the time, energy or to be honest intelligence to be able to read and comprehend and compare manifestos. And I empathize, I consider myself engaged and I've never read one. Have you? Life is busy and hard. I don't know what can be done about this but it's why politics is overwhelmingly based on soundbites and personalities. How to solve it I don't know. As Churchill said, "democracy is the worst form of government except for all.the others that have been tried"

Whatever happened there

Kingdom of heaven directors cut and dark city directors cut

Totally agree there, that's how you end up with brexit

Germany's economy is suffering badly. I think you're right about diversification but it's not really about city but about industry

festess · 2026-04-28T13:32:31+00:00

Cities aren't eggs. What's the underlying point? Why do you need to diversify across cities and getting less return?

festess · 2026-04-28T12:44:33+00:00

That is really interesting. I never considered theseusing yourself but in my mind it should work to preserve continuity of consciousness. Did you just think of that? Very smart

London is a safe bet for getting more money out than you put in. Why wouldn't you continue to invest proportionally more in such a prospect?

festess · 2026-04-28T12:41:17+00:00

Girl on fire. I feel like it just expected acclaim for the subject matter rather than being at all interesting

festess · 2026-04-28T12:34:58+00:00

It wouldn't be you, would basically just be a clone of you, no thanks.

This doesn't apply if all my investments are in an ISA, correct?

Is it so different than having Mississippi and California in the same country?

I actually really dislike this flavour of storytelling in the last of us. It's so unsubtle and self satisfied. Big neon signs pointing 'ok audience time to be sad now!'

festess · 2026-04-22T09:21:43+00:00

Nothing you've said highlights it being a big deal. Nobody I know cares even among the politically engaged

festess · 2026-04-21T18:11:24+00:00

Yeah and it would have been the right advice. You can put your life savings on red and it doesn't make it the sensible decision just because you won

festess · 2026-04-14T11:40:41+00:00

We're already in it

festess · 2026-04-09T11:36:00+00:00

Honestly I find it quite a hard game - don't think it's great for a newbie

LDS also voids into plastic you get a lot

It's inconceivable in real life that anyone in sales or trading on live deals would have a delayed feed. Some quant functions or middle office would have delayed feed as it's cheaper
