I always skip all jobs where they say fast paced.

I dont miss him but he was no threat to world peace at least.

Linkedin is seriously a frustrating place. People humble-bragging and virtue-signalling to their colleagues and future bosses makes me want to puke.

You have “certifications” where everyone who clicks through the material gets a certification. No effort, no test, nothing required whatsoever. And these people act like they did something.

Well ok. Buy when its high prices then. Just doesnt make sense to me, but if it feels better… :)

Market will and should remain nervous because of Trump, since he is not right in the head.

You dont have to time it perfectly. Even if you bought at the top, the US stocks are much higher today then in the 1990s or 2000s.

Your Japan example looks bad but seems a bit chosen as the exception to the rule. If you pick 100 countries in the west, most of them probably have better development than Japan? I havent looked but thats what I would guess. And specially the US.

Now with Trump at the wheel, all bets are off and it could very well crash more. But still, these times its good to keep buying. History has shown it pays off very much almost always.

Anyone who started investing during one of those early recessions or dot com bubble made huge amounts of money after a few years.

Right now is also a great time to invest. Dont be scared and just buy stocks. None of this will matter in a few years and market will be back at its peak.

It has happened 100% of the time so far. Sometimes it takes longer than 2 years, sometimes shorter, but market always goes up.

High probability for at least one quite soon unfortunately. Human leaders are evil.

Lol. :)

Yeah I can imagine. I just hope the current administration doesnt make it legal to do horrible things.

Fair points. Its just that so many soldiers seem to he traumatized by what they experience. If you didnt see much combat, of course you wont be affected by that.

I would fight for a good leader. Someone with wisdom, courage, integrity. Those people are very rare.

None of the us presidents, or any world leaders meet that bar.

Soldiers have a lot more than that drilled into them. Obeying authority, pushing down your own emotions, lots of shit.

I would never be a soldier. A fighter if needed, but not joining any traditional military. It will kill your soul.

This should not be upvoted by the Lemmy echo chamber…:)

I think Java is worse, I still have nightmares from those Java interface names… Jesus.

Capitalism and consumerism is about buying shit we dont need man.

That why America doesnt buy public healthcare, its needed so we dont buy it. Ok?

The companies are doing it so their stock price will go up. Each couple of years there needs to be a new hype. Its not enough with Windows 2027. Big techs high evaluations are all based on future hype that will come at some point in the future (and it wont).

I read “made in your mouth” and felt sick for a second.

Well thats one way to sell a cooking book…

So was 1984 and Brave New World.

Its something about humans that makes them not very intelligent in practice. I think its because we are so easily manipulated by charismatic people.

Yeah but you dont need a Tesla. There are so many cool electric cars now.
