Would be poetic justice with the real estate boom and bust cycle they went through!

How's it going eh? Zap some rain this way!

-from your dried out northern neighbour

She also talked about US pushing forward a CBDC --which is another big crack that could appear...

Likely that large swathes of Americans would be in no mood to have a CBDC pushed on them (and may be enough means to resist among them)

Conspicuous MSM news stories about "cyberattacks" again... Couple that with the on-going debt/tax/inflation enslaving happening and they may have chance at pushing their CBDCs now

Main issue for lagarde et al is how to make a new monetary consensus with BRICS et al after they have shredded their reputation for so many decades

I'll go first

A bit subtle, but I don't live in Zim and it has a nice subliminal message

I think youse may be on to something here

I nominate outlandish hats , that way we can usurp the stupid wizards as well

That the information asymmetry continues is truly astounding

For the USD system, in particular, it is hard to see a "soft landing"--even if they attempt to use bitcoin somehow for that

What is the point , ultimatley, of social media ?

When I first started using social media , it was yonks ago , I don't know if anyone has ever heard of Bebo , man that was a laugh back in the day, Bebo stunnazh and all that.

The big thing with Bebo is that you customised the little page you had and it kind of said something about you. There was a "wall" , where people made a sort of Microsoft Paint drawing and posted it to the "wall" where all the drawings that people had made formed a collage.

MySpace seemed more or less the same thing , and I began using that as well , although it wasn't as common for Irish people to use it , it was more of an American thing.

The main idea seemed to be the customization of the page though , and you could embed videos using html and mess about with the css and stuff on MySpace if I'm remembering correctly.

Then Facebook and Twitter started to phase those things out , and everything took on a more serious tone .

Social media wasn't about just goofing around , it was about very serious opinions and networking and all of that bollox.

I never really vibed with any of that shite , and so I stopped using social media for years, until I heard about Nostr , because I heard that they were using Bitcoin , and that just seemed mad to me ( not a mad idea , but just that something so cool was being done ) , and now my perception of it has shifted again , and so I don't really know what the point of it is anymore .

I know Nostr is the shit though , tell you that much .

Similar feelings

I miss Ireland at times , been too long

Any new Irish phrases/jokes I need to catch up on :)

PS I remember the audio clip doing the rounds there a long time ago of a Chinese/Asian speaking Dublin slang , was a howl but it must have scrubbed from the Internets because I can't find it anymore

"This" being the global demographic cliff and the demonetization of housing (and hopefully not world war 3!)
