Bow ya figure that makes no sense. Accumulating resources in a vault untouched is the least effecient form, you literally have negative effiency as inflation devalues assets. A person would achieve effiency by investing thrir mo ey wisely and ensuring other people are using those resources to effectively increase the total resources in the market.

You are getting stuck in the fallacy that someone havibg authority (ownership) over those resources means that other people cant use it for their own gains as well which is entierly contrary to the reality. Those resources will be in others hands and used by them in some agreement to use them for mutual gain (investment in others).

Now that I am back aroubd my girlfriend after being a world away for a year i feel all my emotions turning back on. I didnt realize how much the distance and stress had paid a toll on .y mental health. I feel much better already.

I am now in , Phuket near the ocean. Ill be working remotely from here for 3 months... im ready.

@avlcharlie How is it a oxymoron. All capitalism is is any system which includes free market trade, that is, trade in which natural supply-demand pressures dominate the markets pricing.

Nothing about that implies greed or altruism, it only implies everyone is trying to maximize their own fitness function (get the most utility for their resources). Its about effiency not greed.

Just a reminder to non-muslims that today is Eid, the most sacred holiday for muslims. I know its easy to forget, so this is your reminder to wish your muslim friends a wonderful Eid.

@freemo@qoto.org National flight? I've never seen such a setup before. Granted, I've never flown first class before but this seems weird.

People tell me I'm smart. But im far too modest to accept that. No, its everyone else that must be morons!

I almost always do lie flat business class. Which is pretty nice and more or less first class. But today i decuded to fly from japan to bangkok doing first class to expiernce japans legendary hospitality in full. Feeling good so far.

I am avain pleasantly surprised by japanese curtosy at the airport. Apparently right before the crew comes to the gate (puntually one minute before the hour) thry all line up in a row and give a big biw of respect to all thr customers waiting, including the pilots. Thry then smile and wave to anyo e who makes contact.

Lovely culture to expiernce, i really do need to try to come here for a few months.

Bwuhahahha, yea ok there buddy. Go scam someone else.

Its soooo hard for me to take any group seriously that can ask me to vote for Biden and in the same breath sincerely argue the man isnt senile. At least if they admited his obvious senility it woukd show enough self awareness of the party that i might even consider getting on board.

@freemo Oh, it's not exclusive to gay men. There are straight men who use that voice. Usually, they are referred to as "metrosexual". It's just that straight men have *significant* societal pressure to speak "normally" if they want to ever get laid or be employed, whereas gay men have the opposite incentive (at least for the getting laid part). I truly believe that *every* man has that voice inside him... just a matter of how close to the surface it gets.

As for the thing about trans women: many of them are seeking, above all, to fit in as their new gender, so they tone a lot down. But there are absolutely women (cis and trans) who are every bit as catty as the gayest men. Just watch any reality show on TV, lol.

I want to understand better the split between logographic and phonemic writing systems. As far as i know logographicnlanguages in the modern world are all asian and of a similar character. So id imagine they all have the same roots.
