National Public Data declares bankruptcy after data leak
  • Another instance of privatized profits and socialized losses. "We collected sensitive data for profit but protecting it and dealing with the fallout is too expensive so it's everyone's problem now, bye!"

    Freeze your credit if you haven't already!

  • What are some valid criticisms of Lemmy do you hear from people who tried out the platform?
  • I remember 2008. McCain vs Obama. I preferred Obama but honestly I wouldn't have minded too much if McCain won, it was just Sarah Palin that was crazy.

    Contrast that with Jan 6th, 2021. The loser of the election incited a riot and attack on the US capitol and democracy. This individual is running again.

  • What are some adulting life hacks that you think others could benefit by learning about them?
  • If something does happen to the stock market, we'll all be fucked.

    I don't think that's true. Even though all the things you mentioned should be diversified, if something terrible effects the markets then there will be bail outs, rate cuts, and/or money printing. What I had in mind though, is that infinite growth is impossible in our finite universe. And there's no bail out for our planet, yet no one cares that we're all fucked if it becomes uninhabitable

  • I'm of the opinion that the stock market is overvalued right now, mainly pumped up by tech stocks which are overvalued due to AI hype. I can't help but think eventually all the baby boomers are going to want to cash out and enjoy their invested money while they're still alive.

    But on another note, do you expect the stock market to perpetually trend up? I suppose inflation helps keep stock prices up because the dollar is worth less than before.

  • Want to start dating but it'll probably hurt my best friend who I'm not romantically interested in.
  • I'm going to be honest. This will be a big hump to get over for most people. They have to be very trusting or vulnerable early in the relationship because this situation makes it very easy for you to cheat on them. Or your friend to get jealous and poison the well

  • What's your radical opinion?
  • Oh trust me, I don't need the extra awkwardness!

    Chef: (Still holding towel after wiping 13 shrimp tail shells off his face) Back again?!

    Me: (Awkwardly hovering in the doorway) Yeah sorry, I was going back and forth on this but I found a shell piece all by itself with no shrimp in it and while I have no reason to put it in my mouth I figured I needed to show conviction to impress my date so... PATOOIE
