CLACK CLACK CLACK CLICK CLACK CLICK CLICK CLACK

some of the gymnastics in this thread are hilarious. critical support is a thing you can criticize china’s various Ls while still supporting the chinese people.

how does reddit have /r/piracy but lemmy.world doesn’t?

lol

any feelings on what you like best / works best?

there’s so much to unpack here. the whole “just allow everything” is, with respect, incredibly dangerous and unfair.

it’s dangerous because of how fucking dangerous these drugs are. case after case of athletes dying in their sleep, cancer, overdosing, roid raging, tainted blood doping, etc.

it’s unfair because drug use doesn’t affect us all equally. for example, if my natural hematocrit is 35 and yours is 45, EPO or other blood doping will give me a HUGE advantage over you. there’s no way you’ll be able to compete with me. i’ve got tons of extra room to juice my veins with red blood that you don’t. the same for insulin, cortico, HGH, etc.

The whole “it’s unfair whaaaa” thing sounds like some moralistic capitalist bullshit anyways.

counterpoint: the “just allow it” sounds like rightwing libertarian nonsense. we have rules and regulations for very, very good reasons.

lance armstrong let marco pantani take the win up mont ventoux wtf is he blabbling about here?

dumb and off topic who cares

Meanwhile their housing market, which they use as a massive investment vehicle, crumbles further.

legit tho. it’s a problem China is absolutely dealing with. the gdp for 2023 was still 5.2% even though gdp is stupid.

Who is Xu Juayin? Who is Jack Ma?

i’m too lazy to do an internet search but iirc Jack Ma is a rich asshole

the liberals are going to get us all killed i swear tf

i went ahead and pulled some up ESGs out of curiosity to look at the holdings. ESGV, SDG, NUDV.

primary holdings were shit like microsoft, nvidia, tesla, amgen, novartis, home depot, johnson john, coca cola, etc. it’s literally just S&P 500 but with like 4-10x the expense ratio.

fucking. lol.

there’s mutual funds and ETFs that invest solely in ESG (environmental, social, and governance) funds. i honestly don’t know if it’s just marketing ploy or what but i know they’re a thing and might be worth looking into [edit: i looked into these. they’re a ploy. don’t buy these. it’s just S&P 500 shit with 4-10x the expense ratio]

finance capitalism is all dirty and bad. 401ks + others are just a trick to make people care about the market when it literally ONLY helps rich ppl and no one else. best to just do a total market fund try not to think about it so much.

hysa’s are worse imo. they take your money and gamble the ever living fuck out of it a million times over until the economy collapses.
