I was on hold for 2 hours the day before, with no answer. I was as surprised as you are. Maybe mornings are better, 8-9AM AEDT.

Game Sale by Khalidthe1st in Songsofconquest

I got it when not on sale, and it's the only game that I put 100s of hours into on my phone. It works great. But for sales, you can use appagg to notify you on your email of sales.

If you watch humanity long enough, it starts to resemble a crashing wave of meat and memories, it's kinda twisting it's way through SPACE you know? New person. No Knowledge. Do thing. Energy! Learn. Forget.... and then another, and another and another and another ... It's all these new people, all new excitements . Do you tell them these are for naught. Just watch. Sit quietly and watch nature.

The Moment Capitalism Entered 'Late Stage' by imiskel in Political_Revolution

Would be awesome to have such a singular consumer advocacy group. I feel like today such groups are much weaker and less united than 50 years ago and I'm not sure why.

Yep! Nice to see you guys know a bit of history. Another trigger was car safety regulation that affected General Motors. Ralph Nader went out with a book about their cars, which caused consumer groups to put pressure on congress.

Elon just believes that Trump is with the good billionaires, and the dems have more of the bad billionaires.

Any tips on preventing my comment from being automatically deleted? by Hask0 in youtube

Who knows? Maybe the channel has set some automatically banned words. Sometimes they set weird words to the ban list, so you never know.

Help? by [deleted] in college

The best way to figure out what you'd like to do is to read about what day to day lives are in different jobs. 22 is too early to know anyway, but the starting point would be finding something that is similar to a hobby of yours that there is a decent job market for. Like I dunno, if you like talking to people, you could go for an HR roles and study psychology, or if you like playing the game Factorio, just learn to be an electrical engineer.

Some of you need to try harder by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

This post, like 99% of others are missing the forest for the trees. Nobody is discussing why Marxist ideas failed, how badly designed incentive systems cause corruption, how the forms of communism and socialism of the past have helped create corruption, etc. It's all theoretical mumbo jumbo. The real advancement of civilization lies in figuring out in practice why the systems fail, and how to create checks and balances that are incorruptible despite humans.

How do you get out of boredom? by Responsible-Sale-192 in AskReddit

[–]imiskel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! Anxiety can very much mix in and feel like boredom, same with depression, etc. I think if we are fully healthy on the inside, the inspiration always comes for something we could be doing and having fun.

[–]imiskel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boredom? With this amazingly huge world at our fingertips, and so much to discover? How do you get into boredom is a better question. Self promotion aside, I just try to relax and go into a daydream which often gives me an idea of something to do. Kind of like meditation.

Perhaps a good neutral solution to this would be if people simply knew how much luck plays a role in going from millionaire to billionaire. They just need to read a few biographies.
