Thanks! Same to you!

exactly

You must have many friends, with charm like that

Good point

How?

He hoped the beeper didn’t go off though, isn’t that the opposite of “I hope you die”?

Still not a good thing to say. Even if one were to believe him that it was a joke, it would still be pretty horrendous

Asus Zenphone 10; headphone jack, minimal bloatware, two physical sim slots, good battery, small size so it actually fits in a pocket, finger print sensor on the power button so it’s seamless to unlock. Best phone I’ve had in quite a while

One possible drawback is that I don’t think it supports esim or has an sd card slot.

The value is tecknically the effect of what is called a stock market, and it does vary quite a bit over time as perceptions and economic factors change

Your things didn’t increase in perceived value as much as Amazon then

amazon grows its revenue → amazon stock value increases → amazon share holder richer

Many companies also pay dividends directly to the share holder but iirc Amazon has preferred to reinvest in growth

Amazon has been really successful in several domains and he’s owned a lot of it from the start

Although if you did earn $5k per day and managed to invest at a yearly return of 3% above inflation, you’d have about $41 trillion

At 1% above interest you’d just have $3.6 billion so invest wisely

(edit, corrected the numbers)

You sound very unhappy with being alone. If you feel stuck and like you’ve tried everything you can think of, it might be a good time to ask for help from a therapist or similar. They might have ideas or tools you haven’t thought of yet

People in relationships can be miserable and feel extremely alone too, if the relationship isn’t working well. It’s not a one-stop-shop to happiness sadly

I hope you figure it out and start feeling better

Yeah, the 20th least polluting country is near 1000x worse than the estimated CO2 footprint in the article

You’re right… The “more than 20 countries” thing, is about 1000x away from the real number too, so I guess they dropped a “kilo” somewhere and somehow didn’t react to getting an obviously absurd result

This is hugely incorrect

… equivalent to 281,315 metric tons of CO2. This is roughly the same quantity of emissions that 75 coal-fired power plants produce in a year, and it exceeds the annual emissions of 20 individual countries and territories.

A single medium sized (1MW) coal power plant outputs about 6.3 million metric tons CO2 per year, so the comparison is three magnitudes off

I wouldn’t trust any other numbers from that site without verification
