Hello thanks for visiting my profile.
For any picture posts I make with the [OC] tag, I provide a license for you to use my photo under the terms of CC-BY-SA-4.0. You may DM me for questions.
I mean no surprises there, but if things go as I imagine it’s not going to mean that much any more. If people in the US are buying and travelling less, that will still sink the demand for oil, and if the glut from OPEC continues then it will be game over for many producers.
I have my Reddit account but I have sworn off posting there… I use Lemmy full time and visit Reddit out of curiousity sometimes, but most often logged out.
Lemmy is just so much better quality.
Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.
From the article.
Not sure if the same thing but in Japan the Pre-purchase reservation lottery has already opened.
Country for sale! Buy now!
For the US only, lol
Yes, but we have to move past the “it can’t be that bad for my business” and the “don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for Trump” excuses. Blue state residents have to actually stand up for their state and fellow residents against this administration. I’ve been impressed by some of the protests in LA in support of Mexico, but Sacramento, Olympia, Albany, Salem have a lot of legwork to do to protect itself from the Trump admin. Canadian actions are meant to spur individual Americans to action as well.
I get that there are many Americans and American companies that do great things. Hell, I still have a Costco membership because they treat their workers and customers really well for a large chain, and have demonstrably rejected the “anti-woke” movement.
But understand that if this keeps going on I’m not renewing it this year. This is because every dollar that goes to Washington DC through US federal taxes is metaphorical ammunition for Trump, to illegally threaten to withhold funding for refusing to go along with his demands.
The results are expected, but it’s the fact that the US President is stupid enough to hurt his own country having the entire country’s resources at his own disposal to know better, is a bit shocking. It’s like stepping on a rake while pointing and looking at it.
“That’s the kind of disruption we would never expect,” said Hung. “I never heard of this happening until now. It’s definitely quite a bit of headwinds."
This is exactly the reason we have to affect blue states like CA/WA/NY/MA just like red states with our dollar. So many people and companies still have their head in the sand and don’t realize the Trump rhetoric is a real threat to Canada and more than just trolling. They don’t really become aware of it until it actually affects them and that’s not limited to Republicans.
What do you want? To be private or avoid censorship?
You haven’t been censored in the sense that it’s plain for me to see from your post history you’ve been on a crusade against “them” in the past couple weeks. Some of your posts were unpopular but they haven’t been removed. I am “watching you” in the sense that I can see that post history, but I know nothing of you aside from that.
On people “telling you what you can say”, it’s just as much a right for people to express what they do and don’t want to listen to as much as it’s your right to express yourself. (And as a sidenote: the Canadian standard of application of your rights has been within “reasonable limits” since the adoption of the Charter in the 80s).
The design of lemmy is that there is not one set of rules to do or not do unlike Reddit. If you are not happy with how you are treated on one server, leave and join local communities on another, or start your own.
… and increasingly view the billionaire as a political liability, a dynamic that was thrown into stark relief Tuesday when a conservative judge Musk vocally supported lost his bid for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat by 10 points.
Will the real suckers and losers, please stand up?
I’ve found my fellow lemmings to be pleasant, but I also believe that that is due to trying to be helpful and polite myself and being willing to apologize when warranted.
Thank you for your part in bringing healthy, helpful and constructive discussion to Lemmy.
I try to be more constructive and positive… you get what you give for the most part. There are trolls abound like any online platform but ignore, report and/or block them and move on with your day.
There is no one I seen here who even had expressed any passion towards anything really.
All/Top is mostly general posts, news and memes. There are a lot of smaller communities on Lemmy that are about people’s passions.
Is technology your passion (judging by your posts)? If so check out more specific communities on stuff like Android, Apple, retro computing, homeassistant, linux, windows, etc. If it’s something else chances are there’s a community for that (albeit it could be relatively inactive). The technology subs attract general discussion, so go for the niches.
Vote Republican to allow Trump to raise the price of eggs, fire you from your job, take away your retirement and deport your spouse to El Salvador!
If plaintiffs can manage to get this private sale of x to xAI proven in court as intended to hamper this suit, could the judge then proceed to pierce the corporate veil on Musk for his malicious actions?
Have you said thank you even once?? -Vance
Are you going to retire in the next four years? Or take all your cash out into gold, quit your job, and go into hiding for the next four years?
If neither apply to you, you can leave your money in your 401k. Selling index funds right now is ultimately up to you, but in the long term time in the market tends to beat timing the market.
What I’ve read in books is: Building up savings itself is more important than whether the returns are +10% or -10%, early in your career, since it will fluctuate but tends to average up.
And remember if your national index funds, bonds or whatever market and government backed investments lose half its value, you have bigger problems on your hand of the state of your country at that point which having cash on hand may or may not help anyway.
That’s really interesting. Would be useful for research of life in early human or pre-human times.
