  • Regular economic thinking doesn’t work on the scale of nations. Just like a family having debt is not the same thing as a country having debt.

    Pretty much everyone in the world has no full idea how an economy works and how to best stimulate it. It’s like a trillion moving parts and smart asses always go “yea this pin over here? That’s the one that’s the problem / solution”

    Pretty much no-one knows. We have ideas what’s better / worse but anyone who tells you they’ve got it figured out, is lying.




  • I feel like enshitification has hit the NBA too. People keep saying, as you are, that these contracts are worth it because they bring in the money, but the games to me personally are unwatchable.

    There are ads EVERYWHERE, constantly… Every inch, every second is plastered with ads. I don’t bother watching anything until the playoffs, and even then I pick my poison.

    Now, obviously my opinion doesn’t matter because there are people watching, but I honestly don’t know how much longer it can go… They play ads between free throws…

    If you watched the Olympic games it feels like it isn’t even the same sport, it’s so much more enjoyable.












  • This thread is such a microcosm of today’s discourse.

    Everyone attributing malice to anyone they don’t agree with, everyone looking to dunk on people and up votes / down votes piling on in batches based on trends.

    It is possible to not immediately be on board with new terms without being a bigot. Sometimes it’s just a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge or sometimes just preference.

    I’ve said it before I will address people as they wish to be addressed. If somone has been called a straight male for all their life and they want to be called that it changes nothing for me. Calling them a bigot is counterproductive and just causes divides for no reason.
