I’m much more irritated for example with the mods who decided UniversalMonk was a force for good in the universe, who must be protected at all costs

Much like a delicate flower, I do need to be protected at all costs. Thanks for noticing, friend!

like letting UniversalMonk bait people into arguments and then banning people he got in arguments with).

You talk about me a lot. A lot. Although it’s impressive that I’m in your head so much, I always forget about you until ya post about me.

Anyhoo, I just posted articles, I didn’t bait anybody to do anything. If someone doesn’t like me, they can always block me.

Thanks, friend!

Truth! Lemmy is very anti-crypto, but it has a lot of advantages in socialist and anarchist circles. Sometimes Lemmy just hates anything that is popular, because they think it means “rich.”

Even tho the average Lemmy poster makes more than the average Americans wage.

Yeah, well I have been lucky, but I always cash out early. But it’s hard for me not to just be all in all the time! I do love watching the stands and the news about it though.

Greed has altered the course of life many times over.

I continually fight this myself. I made a fair amount of profit in crypto, but I 100 percent realize that it’s just blind luck. I like the idea of it and I love the news about it, so it’s very difficult for me to not to go 100 percent in every time I see a trend!

So far, I’ve resisted the urge to go to crazy with it, but ugh, it’s tough . And I lie to my gf and tell her that I just follow, but don’t invest. So I’m pretty much the kind of asshole that I grew up despising. lol

I’ve never invested more than I can afford to lose, and cash out the minute I make a little profit. But I can see how addicting it is and how easily some people could fall off the cliff.

Yep!

Da fuq? Is everyone in this thread on meds? As someone who has only ever taken aspirin and the occasional cold relief, these comments are wild to me.

You all list meds as casually as a pharmacist. Lol
