#1 Go to the doctor.

#2 Take a walk. Power walk. It’s healthy and fun!

Teacher: …uhhh…

少奇 حكيم : Yep, I’m here.

Teacher: Got you. Where is that from?

少奇 حكيم : …uhhh…

Teacher: Got it. Is Ashley Berkenstein here?

Italian sausage, penne pasta, and marinara. Beyond easy…not particularly healthy.

Government bureaucracy

The U.S. uses the value of statistical life VSL. Here are the numbers from the Department of Transportation over the last 10 years or so.

So, it is interesting and egregious that the driver needs only pay $23K and Tesla pays nothing at all!

This is obviously a bad idea. CMV

There will be hysterical articles in NYT about how these poor struggling retailers are losing SO MUCH money (but not really) from theft

Yeah, that’s been retracted.

Now the only reason to park two squad cars outside of every Kroger is to determine minorities into doing what they were already doing, i.e.: going grocery shopping.

But they’ll absolutely line up for a guy that did the most to exacerbate the time of great crisis.

Americans…gotta love 'em.

Joe Biden’s failure to do anything material for the public

Yeah…he literally put $1400 in your pocket, assuming you’re American, at the beginning of his administration in response to the covid-19 virus.

American politics is basically one big ol’ recency bias. The most recent events weigh more heavily than a holistic view of the candidate. That’s why George W. Bush can paint fucking puppies and the media that used to disparage him now fawns. It’s also why the 24 hr news cycle is so effective: Americans think being informed means being up-to-date.

When I was poor, $5k would’ve been life changing. I wouldn’t have eaten any better except for a day or two, but I wouldn’t have had debts hanging over my head.

Matter of fact, I had a $4k debt hanging over my head for like 6 years because I dropped out of college. I couldn’t pay it off until I got my dad’s life insurance after he died. I worked the entire time, 6 years straight, but was underpaid and Wells Fargo was doing its illegal overdraft fee thing…I will never work with that bank again. It wasn’t uncommon for me to pay $70 in fees on a paycheck of $400. Idk how the fuck I survived.

Are you perchance a genius?

Honestly, AI has been helping me a lot as a student and someone that just likes to research stuff. It’s development over the last year has been incredible.

Xyplorer. A much better file system

More spending means more demand means more supply, which means production costs go down (due to economies of scale)… so inflation goes down?

Supply may or may not be able to adjust quickly.

A good example is food. There’s only so much that can be grown and distributed. So a high demand for food year after year only pushes up the price. The supply can’t really grow exactly. You can purchase more, import it, but that’s still probably more costly than local production. So importing it may actually make the price higher even while the supply expands.

Also, organizations aren’t required to produce more. In an economic environment where…idk…you once found t-shirts for $5 for three, Hanes can make it $6 for three because what else are you going to do? Buy Fruit of the Loom like a peasant, who is also charging more for their clothes?

So if production can’t or won’t expand and/or supply can’t it won’t expand, you’ll have more and more money chasing the same amount of goods, which leads to inflation.

I am annoyed af. My pc does have TPM but it’s a bitch to set up and I’m not fighting that fight again. And fuck windows 11 on my current computer

So…basically how my brain works? I routinely mishear and misread words. I’m like…80% certain I’m somewhat dyslexic. The repetition of the word would’ve tripped me up, too. The misspellings wouldn’t faze me.

That Have You Ever Had A Dream meme would also trip me up. Written variations would take me a good 10 seconds for me to figure out it’s gibberish. I’m not sure about the plausible deniability bit though…

Just buy Apple and Microsoft. You’ll be fine.

You have to prevent 9/11. Then you can still walk your grandma to the terminal when she flies to the Bahamas.

Fuck, I wish this were an option. It’s like only HOAs in this god damn place.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc, or the post hoc fallacy, in general.

Basically in OP’s case, I did this and something did or didn’t happen. Therefore, what I did caused that something to happen or not happen.

Another comment used a survivorship bias with people that survived when others died or just living longer than other people. That’s also an example of the post hoc fallacy. The idea that the survivor did something that caused them to live isn’t necessarily true. They couldn’t just got lucky.

It’s also the foundational fallacy that connects the president to economic outcomes. Ask any economist: the president can’t control the economy, and his influence is severely limited.
