Yes and no. Less lonely than living by yourself and you can cook in bulk, but also you get sick of your family after living with them for a while. Also if you're cramming 3 generation into a 3 bedroom because of financial constraints that's pretty rough.

I have a friend from China who's a lib and he's probably one of the most racist people I know (specifically against Chinese people). Just the other day he said Chinese people have never invented anything and that good inventions can only come from the US or Europe. He also wants to look, sound, and dress like an Ivy-league country club dude. Dude regularly reminds me of a Chinese Uncle Ruckus. Is that kind of self-hating common or is it mostly because he's from a rich family?

He made a career convincing investors to buy into his biotech startup. Insincere bullshitting is the name of the game there.

Under capitalism didn't the monarchs that were formally in charge lose power to the new capitalists though? For one, King George losing the colonies. I'm guessing a lot of the founding fathers probably were descended from feudal lords though.

The article talks a little about how a lot of the streaming platforms have raised prices this year since right now shareholders want to see more profit instead of growth with interest rates up.

Question: when an instance is down do its posts just not show up on other instances it's federated with?

Isn't it still sharp though?
