“The research was conducted by the deVere Group, a leading financial advisory, asset management and fintech organizations, and it surveyed more than 750 clients under the age of 42 using the deVere Crypto app” (source)
ok so they surveyed people that are already into crypto, meaning the whole thing is literally bogus
A better headline would be: “Less than half of people actively invested in crypto would prefer part of their paycheck be in crypto.”
thinking about that post about how, to conservatives, gender is something you can fail at and that is a punishment that opens you up to abuse, and i think the same is true of being a child.
the Innocent Child (to be protected!) is a class of people that does not include all children, and like gender, it is something you can fail at. Failed Children are not longer Innocent and To Be Protected, but instead a class of people who need to be abused back into compliance.
so this European clothing retailer decided to advertise their jean cuts on youtube and it’s unintentionally the funniest shit I’ve seen today. why? well.

now important context here: in German, die (pronounced ‘dee’) is just a feminine article, it literally means “the”.

but if an ad gets placed in the middle of an English video and doesn’t use a single explicitly German word for most of the ad, even a native speaker is gonna think “they want me to die how?” it keeps getting funnier.
It is really super fucking telling that Jews and Muslims are experiencing massive amounts of hate crimes right now and it isn’t Jews and Muslims committing said hate crimes.
We are not character is in a game or some sports team. We are all very real people who very much impacted by calls for our death and traumatized by happens to members of our communities even if it is in other parts of the world.
I know there many of you on this site having the time of your life being able to go mask off and revel in calling for Jews to die.
But this is not a joke, this is not fictional. This is real.
Wadea al-Fayoume, 6 year-old Palestinian-American child was murdered in Illinois by the family’s landlord. (who again I need to stress was not Jewish)
This is what you are sowing and we, the Jewish and Muslim communities, will end having reap.
Enough is enough. Stop. Just stop.
Be quiet if can not focus your words on how to send help, aid, and resources for Palestinians.
My biggest frustration with the left has always been the inability/unwillingness to work on making progress inside of the system while advocating for greater change.
I remember the first time I came to this realization.
I was nineteen, pregnant. We couldn’t afford to heat the house because we couldn’t afford the deposit to turn the gas on. It was miserably cold. The duplex we were renting was old and rickety and drafty. The window frames were messed up and there were cracks you could stick your finger through that were open to the elements.
Just, like, to give you an idea where we were financially. And this was better than we’d been doing before!
Anyway, I had recently started going to DSA meetings. And that month, they were talking about how a moderate democrat had successfully gotten a small increase in WIC benefits monthly. It came out to, like, $10 a month.
The members talking—mostly male, almost all doing decent—were scornful. The democrat should have pushed harder and gotten more, refused to accept anything until everyone else caved to their demands. I remember sitting there, quietly drinking the latte in the smallest size they had that I had bought with scrounged quarters, listening. Wishing it wasn’t held in an indie coffee shop because it was a luxury I really couldn’t afford, but it would be rude not to. Enjoying the coffee anyway.
I was one of the lucky ones who was getting that additional $10 a month through WIC. Even more exciting, we were now getting a voucher for the farmers’ market. I casually mentioned that WIC recipients would now be getting farmers’ market vouchers, too.
The guy who organized the meetings was a hard worker, passionate guy. Did something in tech.
He was like, “That’s the thing! These people don’t want farmers market vouchers. They want—” and he went on to describe a bunch of pie in the sky desires. That, yeah, sounded good.
But one. I was one of those people! A lot if the tamiles were super excited about it, myself included.
I had never been to a farmers’ market before. I tried arugula for the first time, a piece pulled from a bunch by the grower as he explained the flavor difference. I hadn’t known before then that different lettuce greens had different flavors, that it was more than just the texture and shape. I tried pesto, which delighted me. Goat cheese. I got three full pounds of strawberries for two dollars, since they were closing soon and the old man selling the berries got a kick out of me.
Anyway. It was like, you have a decent life. Not great but decent! The things that are life changing for me, for us… you already have.
The ten dollars at the grocery store made the difference between a meal of broken-noodles-with-some-half-horrible-pantry-scraps and a meal. It kept me full and healthy! And the additional farmers’ market voucher was world changing for me.
The democrat who worked for those things barely got them through. And it was means tested to hell and back. They weren’t able to get everything they wanted. But what they got made such a huge difference for me, for people like me.
Girl help condescending people with no reading comprehension are trying to be helpful
Say you break your ankle. You could know everything there is to know intellectually about the injury. Even with this vast knowledge, you will still experience physical pain.
Now take this logic and apply it to thingslike ADHD, autism, clinical depression, and other less visible/divergent disabilities. You cannot think your way out of feeling.
That is to say: you are not a bad, lazy, or selfish person for struggling, even if you know why you are struggling.
leverage is great because it makes real commentary on actual problems and the people behind the scenes do seem to genuinely care about those problems but also it’s a show where they faked an alien abduction and one of the main characters sent another character plot-relevant petplay magazines. it’s a show where one of the lines from the original finale still haunts me with how true it ultimately is–“justice or order. one day, you are going to have to make that choice”–and it’s a show where there’s an office parody episode that involves the same character who said that insisting in a straight-to-camera interview that he “loves foreplay.” they solved the DB cooper case one time. it rules
