I have four monitors. Two slightly angled directly in front of me, one angled on the left and a small 10 inch directly below my two main monitors that I use specifically for discord and my friend’s chat app he’s working on.

Why two directly in front of me with the split in the middle? I only have to shift my head slightly to move between the game I’m playing and whatever I’m watching.

But it’s more useful when I’m working on pixel art because I can have my drawing on one main monitor and my reference in the other while having a show or stream on the secondary angled on my left and chat stays on the small monitor.

As for if that helps productivity, I have no idea.

But I sure like my setup now.

Yeah, it was absolutely crazy to me. I know several diabetics who would be given a needle for their insulin… But they acted like I was going to shoot up some smack after they literally handed me B-12 to inject.

These people are basically monsters.

They’ve knowingly and willingly set their greed above everyone and everything living on the planet.

Literal cartoon villain style shit. Knowingly stymying climate research, funding what are essentially disinformation campaigns… All for greed and selfishness.

I weep for the future and for what the children of today will never get to have because of monsters like this.

My doctor diagnosed me with a b-12 deficiency. Something easily fixed with a shot she prescribed.

The pharmacist looked at me like I was a drug addict when I asked where the needle for the injection was when I picked up the scrip. “Just have the doctor do it”.

Fee for randomly showing up to my doctor to get the shot? $0

Fee for getting the shot done when I was actively at a scheduled check up? $130

I take an oral supplement instead now that’s not quite as effective.

Except a nation with no debt and a negative trade balance has negative wealth.

The government debt is the private sector surplus when there a negative trade balance.

The government is literally the source of money. Every dollar created is part of that “debt”.

Every dollar is an IOU issued by the federal government that it will be accepted to relieve tax obligations.

" Zero national debt " means zero dollars left in circulation after taxation.

If you’re taking water and putting it in a closed loop, you’re effectively removing it from the natural water cycle until you remove it from said closed loop, no?

I agree the articles make it sound more like they are just burning water out of existence lol.

The black man on the supreme court might want to rethink the stance on going with “history and tradition”.

Or maybe he thinks his vote should only count as 3/5 of a vote?

Oh right. It will be cherry picked bullshit that fits whatever corrupted crap they want to force onto all of us.

It’s not real currency, it’s a token.

I can’t use it to pay my taxes to the US federal government and it must be traded in for actual currency to do so.

Just like a token at an arcade.

They are also vehicles of wild speculation… And unlike stocks (where I gain partial ownership of a company) and bonds (where I gain a claim on their monetary inflows and primacy if the venture crumbles), crypto gives me… What exactly?

I don’t get to be an owner or a creditor. I become… Holder of a mining incentive?

I’m sorry it’s not what a lot of people seem to think it is.

Bet that old timer loves his Medicare and social security, though. Lmfao

Maybe they should pull their houses out of this predicament by their boot straps

Just so you know, that brown thing is called a cornucopia! Literally “horn of abundance” in Latin.

I love cereal but that shit has zero staying power. It is noting remotely like a full meal.

There are way better things if I want some brinner

The pandemic showed that a huge percentage of our work is literately bullshit used to keep us grinding away and not actually living life. And to keep us from dealing with the huge and glaring problems in our society.

The Puritan idea that we must slave away in order to be worthy is a lie.

One of the greatest economists, Keynes, expected us to be working 15-20 hours a week at this point because of productivity increases.

But instead of sharing in the blessing of productivity, we were forced to do an increasing amount of meaningless work and spend less time actually living, all while being shackled with debt rather than even increasing our pay.

A pretty garbage system if you ask me.

“The law of the jungle”.

So they must mean the one where we work cooperatively together to survive, since banding together has been the thing that kept us alive the most?

Or do they mean the “law” where we band together and purposefully exterminate entities like them which threaten our survival?
