So in positive bews for Brazil, Lula won reelection. In somewhat positive news and negative news for me, I made the right choice to sell 30% of my Brazil shares last week but I really should've sold all of it 😭 This day will be brutal for my stocks

I was planning on buying a house but with interest rates at 7.47% I'm just gonna wait. House prices were trending down before 7% rates and the average mortgage where I live is about $1800 more than my rent. Buying feels illogical. Well, guess I'll see a year from now if this was the right decision

I was looking at software engineering subreddits & wow, the job market is beyond brutal nowadays, especially for new grads. Which has me thinking: Why are we allowing companies to hire H1-B's when new grads can't find work? We seriously need a ban on H1-b's at least for the next few years.

I had such a vivid dream that I had accepted a job offer and was waiting to hear back on my start date... I also spent like the last hour of the dream trying to figure out how much my pay was... I'm even dreaming about leaving my current job 😭

I've now seen like 20 posts saying something similar to this: "Sam Altman just paused AI research something crazy must've happened!!!" If you still believe these AI charlatans then you're a freaking moron. So please do us all a favor and shut the hell up so we don't have to suffer your stupidity.

It's shocking how much software engineering has changed in a year. I no longer write code, I now prompt an AI and review its slop. I'm now expected to do double the work from a year ago even though coding was only 20% of my job. My job literally got harder because of AI. It's insane.

It's so insane seeing people defend Lindsay Clancy. In no world is mental illness an excuse to murder your children. Like how far gone do you have to be to even reach this conclusion? If you're making excuses for a person who STRANGLED THEIR 3 KIDS then you've completely lost the plot.

Dem: "We need to get rid of Citizens United" Me: "Agreed, we shouldn't vote for candidates who take corporate PAC money" Dem: "No we need corporate PAC money to win elections" Me: "Okay well how do we get rid of Citizens United then?" Dem: *crickets* How do Dems not see they're part of the problem?

I hate to be pessimistic but it feels like we lost a once in a lifetime chance this midterm cycle. We had a real chance to beat back the establishment, but as of now the left has only gained ground in a handful of primaries. At best the left will win 2 new senate seats and like 8 new house seats.

Don't get me wrong, these are important victories but given how much power the establishment still has it's hard not to see this as a failure.

I want to say Enzo Fernandez cost Argentina the world cup with his red card, but lets be realistic, even if he didn't get a red I don't see how Spain loses.

Taco Bell is the most overrated fast food chain out there. It's stupidly expensive bland food and pretty much every menu item is a variation of the same 5 ingredients. Del Taco is far better. I said what I said.

This is going to sound crazy but I think Argentina is going to win tomorrow. I'm usually wrong about these things, but this time I have a feeling. Argentina 3 - 2 Spain

England has to be the biggest embarrassment ever. How does this England team lose to this Argentina team? Seriously England is such a disappointment

If Haley Stevens wins the primary on the back of AIPAC funding, voters should boycott the general election. Let her lose the senate seat. Voters should not reward these traitors with their vote. A vote for an AIPAC backed candidate is not change, it's a vote to maintain the status quo.

It's 1:00am and I'm about to eat 6-day-old homemade chicken wings and maruchan instant noodles with a best by date from two months ago Living the dream.

I just don't want France to reach the world cup final. This would be the third final in a row where France made the final and that's simply boring. So like I don't care who wins the world cup just no more France 😭 Spain vs England final pls πŸ™

Embolo completely deserved that second yellow and red card. No sympathy for divers. He completely ruined the game for Switzerland. Such a terrible decision on his part.

Some of us have jobs. We can't keep up with every ceasefire breach, every bombing, every Trump announcement that Iran has been defeated, etc. This shit is exhausting.

I'm calling it now, Israel did it

It's beyond insane that 3 supreme court justices voted to overturn birthright citizenship. How is this even up for debate? The entire job of a supreme court justice is to follow the Constitution, follow the law, and if these 3 justices are too partisan to even do that they need to be removed.

What makes today even better is that before the world cup Europeans would constantly bitch & whine about how they needed more qualifying spots for the world cup. About how Africa & the America's got too many spots. Now both Germany & Netherlands have been eliminated 🀣 Those Euro tears are delicious
