@greyor there's another crisis coming and it's going to be even worse than the one in 2009.
The only reason the entire US economy didn't collapse in '09 was because the government saved it by buying up entire markets like the automotive industry.
ie: to big to fail
@greyor it's so scary the US government is worried it'll destabilize the US dollar and the banking institution. π¬
You know it's bad when the government is trying to preserve itself lol π
They can't STOP it, they're asking Shitbook to though.
With stakes this high I'm sure they will or the government will obliterate them.

@nikolal that's an odd sub name π³
@greyor all I can say is that the it's even worse now when you goto the movies and have to sit through bloody commercials there to! after you've paid to see the movie and get in they shove those in your face ππ₯π¬
@greyor I'm so used to watching shows without commercials that regular TV even I do see it drives me insane lol π
20 minutes of show, 40 of commercials π
@greyor haha nope not me. Just celebs or artists etc.
I don't watch TV (or even have one) or cable for like 20+ years now?π€
I download the stuff I do want to watch though. Legally of course π
@nikolal that is trippy and awesome I'm going to grab this π
Did you draw this?
I grew up reading garfield.

@Expat1975 the only reason you didn't see something like this in 2009 was because the government stepped in and saved the country from total economic collapse because it would have imploded if those massive companies like GM were to go under, hence, to big to fail.
Then you would've witnessed the second American revolution. A very violent and angry public. And rightfully so.
@owen welcome π
@Expat1975 well the sad part about it is that history repeats itself, constantly. And it'll happen again even though we know better.
Many people are worried this is coming in the USA, and soon. The top 1% control 99% of the wealth.
The last time this happened and people got fed up, it was called the French revolution where the masses quite literally dragged the rich and aristocracy from there homes and cut there heads off with this spiffy new invention called the gulotine
π
@Expat1975 on top of all this in the end they fought for Hitler because they had no choice.
The rest of the world hated them and you had the Americans coming from the west that had discovered the concentration camps and the Russians from the east that they had butchered like sub humans so it was fight for Germany or die anyway.
@Expat1975 you have to remember that most Germans weren't evil, but that they had to tow the party line and beliefs because of you didn't you did a disappearing act.
Nazi Germany had zero tolerance for dissedence and didn't hide the fact.
Beyond that you had the gestapo and kids in many cases that would turn in there own parents if they weren't loyal (brainwashing from the Hitler youth and schools)
I think I'm going to start meditating alot more again and keeping a dream diary.
I actually stopped keeping a dream diary cause I was dreaming and waking up like 10x a night lol π
Lucid dreaming is amazing though! That's where you become conscious or awake inside your dream and you can do whatever you want. It's the most intense thing I've ever experience I've ever had I love doing it ππ»
Once you let someone start treating you lesser they get it in there head that that's the new normal.
Example: oh I raged at him and he just took it.
Then they think next time they can rage at you because you will just accept it and take it and then it's the "new normal".
She/he will flip out on you again and when u do react they are all taken aback and offended that your fed up and turn you into the asshole because your mad and fed up.
I realized tonight after talking to my friend I'm in a close relationship with that's been acting testy lately snapping etc I told her that I understood why she's that way lately but it's not OK.
Simply because if I did say it was ok that would be derogatory towards myself to accept that and I would be devalueing myself.
Also drawing a line in the sand. This behavior is understood right now because of what your going through atm but it will not become the new normal.
