Be very careful with mutual funds in this climate. Most are heavily weighted towards the Mag7 which include some of the most massively overinflated stocks.

I moved my stocks into non-US bonds and GICs when the first round of tariffs against us (Canada) happened. At this point I think it’d be a terrible idea to jump ship because you’ll realize that loss.

The democrats are fiscally conservative. The GOP believes in budget unbalancing tax cuts and are fiscally liberal.

I assume they vote liberal or are uncomfortable being seen as the hateful sack of shit they are.

If we’re talking America the parties align like this:

• Democrat: Socially moderate, fiscally conservative
• Republican: Socially regressive, fiscally liberal

Eh - I thought dash was a pretty reasonable symbol for “There’s a contraction here” I don’t really care about the actual symbol as long as we stop using the same symbol for contractions and possessives. In my sample It-s would currently be written It's and the it's (a possessive) would be its if that’s what you’re asking.

Possessives always get an apostrophe outside of weird exceptions where they clash with contractions. I’m proposing we fix that. Also - let’s bring back mass possessions like “At the bake sale Moms’ baked goods are always delicious”

The inconsistency of apostrophe usage in English for possessives and contractions. If it was instead written…

It-s a wonderful day out today, take your phone but turn off it’s data so you can soak up the clear blue skies.

It’d be so much fucking easier and my OCD would be satiated.

Let me better phrase that. Communication of news cannot be done in an unbiased and neutral manner - how you state things and what points you deem relevant to include will vary on your political leaning.

A classic example of this is a headline like “Mexican man murders two.” The choice of which adjectives to include in identifying someone is influenced by politics and we’ll often, rightfully, call out right wing news outlets that emphasize race or immigration status when discussing an event.

Reality isn’t politically neutral. Most niche communities are pretty apolitical but if you want to interact with news communities you’ll be out of luck.

Ha - going on to ADHD meds led to me gaining weight.
