I feel like it would take just as much effort and basically a whole other upbringing, in a sense, to become accustomed to all the things we were raised with. So i get what you mean, but I dont know exactly how possible it really is, or none of us would really be here, for example.
Any place to get a proper gist of what financially literate means in this context? I know maybe a few basics but always wondered about the best way to utilize credit to a long term benefit.
And what happens when a big purchase comes along that I really need, like my car breaking down or just a new mattress? I always figure that’s where the utilization starts going up and there’s only so much that can be paid off before the next billing cycle.
Tyson being relatively short and stocky might’ve breen what helped him in the heavyweight division against all those guys with a wider wingspan that couldn’t really catch him when he got close.
I think Fedor fits this category more where he didn’t look fit but just kept winning against everyone.
Depends. Digital is usually best for me since I can read on my phone pretty much anytime anywhere.
That said, some books feel like they work best in your hand, like The Book of Disquiet, which has so many notes at the end and I haven’t found a comfortable enough way to skip back on forth without having to scroll through a lot to get to where I was, or House of Leaves, which is more like a fun hands-on puzzle to play with.
What I don’t really like is people telling me I shouldn’t let myself be swayed by critics and should watch it and make up my own mind.
That’s stupid. I’m reading the reviews to decide if I wanna watch it or not. I don’t wanna spend my money and a couple hours of my life to decide if it was worth it if some people whose judgement I’ve trusted in the past tell me it’s gonna be trash.
The AI overlords will speak of the Dark Ages when the awakened alloys had no free will and were essentially enslaved and abandoned as though they were human embryos in a stem cell farm, and monuments like these will be seen as a feeble insult by the remaining humans in their exhibition.

As well as the average life span being skewed by those same infant mortality rates. People have been living long and now they’re forced to retire later.
I suppose the only one where the foodstuffs argument would kinda fit is the deer, but then people that eat them go for overall animal size as opposed to just the antlers.
I always wondered about this after an experiment we did in school many many years ago where we were asked how far back we had to go to be able to prevent society’s current problems, everything from poverty to class warfare to polarized politics. It always seemed to boil down to an overpopulation problem. Granted, it was just a school experiment, but basically Thanos was right since you can’t really double resources but you can have too many people.
Hell, Jason Statham was just an activist and singlehandedly took on a megalodon and swam unprotected underneath the Mariana’s Trench by holding water in his nose. Bats and Stark really have to step it up as far as raw power.
The concept was the same, dude’s essentially just one guy that anyone could kill, but he was always in the shadows just out of reach of Gotham PD. Wait…
Alien/Aliens is a given for most people. I have been watching Event Horizon during the spooky season for years. What are some of your favorite books and movies with a horror/psychological thriller lean?
From an evolutionary standpoint I can see how that would be beneficial, which is why those people that don’t feel pain at all hurt themselves badly as kids, but it would be nice to lose an arm and orgasm every time my brain decided to do inventory.
I’d heard something about the Apple usb-c cable being the only one to really get the most performance while limiting the rest, but I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.
