I also found turning off history and heavily pruning subcribed channels was the only way to fix youtube sloppification; particularly avoiding shorts being heavily forced by google

It seems unwise to go to a country without a plan to learn the language. If you are as unable to learn languages as you stated, then I suggest living in English speaking countries for life

No
I am not a financial advisor.

Assuming you are the average person, and not a financial professional, using actual financial hedging instruments properly is unlikely, and far more likely to just increase risk and lower expected return.

A realistic way for an American citizen to reduce risk in the current market is to have a globally diversified portfolio that under-allocates to the US.

‘Moral panic’ shows lacking understanding on the real damage
Please dont minimize disasterous societal policies, it is not respectful

Computer technology has many significant unique factors compared to other technologies
Your trauma is not reason to prescribe privacy invasion on others

For some, feeding the beast is unpleasant
Thanks I am! I hope you do as well
My statement had two sentences. You chose to read only the second for some reason. We dont disagree, respect
Thats what i said
I appreciate that info
Yes claude is being dumb/hallucinating. Yes it does exist, there are much larger drives than that produced by the main manufacturers
This is soley a list of how to be explicitly negative internally and externally, the people in this thread equating it to disorders need to re-think the text. Its a list of what not to do as a human.

With respect to all; there is an incredible amount of subtle communications that go into standard conversations

Given the context of the discussion is about lacking social cues, its not possible to know the social setting to give you specific advice.

However, I would suggest considering if the ‘making fun’ is in casual conversation or truly adversary.

In casual conversation of someone making jest about your lack of speaking, just smile and say you are having a good time listening and hanging out.

If they are actually making fun of you, never associate with those people again, they suck

But, being more respectful to you and who i orignally replied to — yes actual revolution would be brutal, and could/would create a much worse daily life for the non-elites.

Still, as I bet you could agree when not aguing semantics, its inexusable for people to declare we should accept corruption

Dont defend accepting corruption, thats so lame
A few annecdotal voices dont change reality; american conservatism is poisoned, and must be rejected by all sane/moral humans for multiple generations.
Sad that you have given up

If thats true, seems like it is 10000x more critical they purchase right to the infowars hiltler cloning facilities and features
Nobody needs to stop VC or speculation. The issue is that society has been structured to subsidize hyper speculation, which current VC landscape is a symptom
Sure I agree and good points. But my view is moreso in the scale of VC operations being a symptom of excess speculation, and society would be better off with stable investments. They are poor stewards of capital, and subsidized by the federal reserve.
