Nope. Don't you type on your keyboard anyway. Like right now I just worte a whole bunch of different letters. I don't think I put in my password so often it stands out. Same with the phone. My fingers already go all over it. I mean icons are way over one screens worth. Its not like the movied door code thing where the only input it ever gets is the code.

Bill gates and all those other success stories. Massive initial funding by family and friends of the family.

Hi.

There are two types of inflation. Global that comes from increases in the money supply by countries that used to be by printing money but in modern times is done through lending. When a bank loans money it only needs to have a fraction of the loan amount as a hedge but otherwise the money is essentially created and there is now more money to go around. There is also a more local inflation effect that happens individually on items due to supply and demand. The thing about that effect is barring money supply increase its relative. People have to choose to put their money toward the particular thing even as the price increases for some reason. Like paper towels and toilet paper during a pandemic. So it is usually temporary but not always as sometimes things become more expensive to make. For example if soil degradation happens then food cannot be grown in as much abundance than before and prices go up. Since people have to eat they will forgo lesser necesities if necessary. Also for example in the past when we used to drill for oil it was near the surface and easily accessible. Using the energy of one barrel of oil would net you over 100 barrels of oil. Today the return is based on source but we have sources that return only single digit barrels per barrel. One reason saudi does so well is they have consistently had the higher returns on a per oil basis. Theirs have still gone down but comparatively maintained a good rate of return. This is also how come hardwood used to be relatively cheap but since it takes a long time to grow (approx a century) it is now very expensive and most people will use softwoods or some sort of alternative. So shrinking resources or more effort to get resources along with more people means higher relative value for things people need. Earth overshoot day is now in july and it was the early 1970's when we last used only the amount of renewable resources that the earth renewed in a year so we were break even back then and have to gut things more and more as times goes by https://overshoot.footprintnetwork.org/. Now technology can find us new options but if that was happening well enough we would still be using no more than what the earth can recover from each year. Its not completely technologies fault as we have seen an effect that when we get more we use more. So like you get led lights but then people have more lights which are on more often or we get some other technology that uses more power or such.

Ok now that I know my terms I am apparently a cis-het man and don't feel this and don't know anyone who does so its a bit hard to know how or why it may be happening. I am older though so is this possibly more prevalent in an age group? Although also im an introvert so don't need all that much people interaction to not feel lonely.

Yeah I think its just im not in the group that uses the latin term and expects it to have gender meaning. I swear I have heard it used in terms of cognitive type. Anyway Im good in terms of this conversation and will get use to the lingo over time.

I found I could not make enough money in the profession I chose that I had a passion for and my interest also fluctuates wildly. I went into tech for better pay (at the time). Tech jobs very often do not last and I do not compromise on pay for anything I have done before but will for roles where I will be working with something new. Thats a bit tough in a time like now where the places are asking for the moon and paying minimally but anyway given the way tech is you can find yourself working with new things.

im one of those people who does not know what cis-het means? As far as I can tell cis means typical or normal or such.

We would go out once in awhile when back when but that sorta transitioned to pickup as we found our home just much more comfortable. We were doing it pretty often but inflation has us almost always cooking now.

good point.

Do you scroll all??? Because that should not be empty. If your subscribed is empty and you want to scroll on subscribe then yeah you have to subscribe to stuff. Personally I just scroll all and then block communities im not interested in. My main examples are sports and meme ones.
