Mpox is not a great name. The virus is called the monkey pox virus so that’s no good but the virus is also called MPV, MPXV, or hMPXV and those are okay. I think we should go with simian plague.

Riot is used twice in the article. Once in a quote and the other time it’s called an “alleged riot” ostensibly referring back to the quote

I didn’t see any mention of dancing in the article. Where did you see that?

Gotcha. That’s why I missed it I typically don’t watch the videos.

US Navy seizes attackers who held Israel-linked [oil] tanker. Missiles from rebel-controlled Yemen follow (apnews.com)

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Armed assailants seized and later let go of a tanker linked to Israel off the coast of Yemen on Sunday before being apprehended by the United States Navy, officials said. Two ballistic missiles fired from Houthi-controlled Yemen then landed near a U.S. warship aiding the tanker in the Gulf of...

Yeah that was my first thought. I’m willing to bet the company declares bankruptcy soon.

Not my idea of a good time either but it was appealing to some people. Cruises are incredibly popular. I’d only go if it were free and I was unable to sell the ticket(s).

If you bought me a ticket on “Unkle Sal’s Discount Cruises” I would not go. If you bought me tickets for Carnival Cruises… Yeah I’d probably go.

Android powers over 70% of smartphones. If they were to make an app wouldn’t it be more efficient (cost v exposure) to make an android app? The website though works on all phones.

There just aren’t enough details to say right now. What you’re saying is possible definitely but it’s impossible to be sure if anything other than a child was killed. Anger is the worst human emotion in my opinion. Seneca calls it a form of temporary madness.

Salamendacious OP ,

I can sympathize. Here’s a video that I found useful. I work on this daily. Some days I excel and other days I fall short. I think of myself as a rage addict and when I fall off the wagon. I try to reflect, not get angry with myself (because that’s just feeding the addiction), and get back on track. It’s a constant struggle.

Salamendacious OP ,
@Salamendacious@lemmy.world avatar

I try to not get angry because I don’t think it solves anything and while there are a lot of things wrong with the world there are good trends. Global rates of extreme poverty were close to 70% in the early 80s and are now below 47% and continuing down. source. Global birth rates have been steadily declining source, which is a factor in global poverty as well as reducing world hunger (this trended down for years but recently he has unfortunately increased). Global education has improved now only 1 in five adults have never received any education source. Anger didn’t improve any of these situations. Ask a professional or amateur fighter (I’ve personally talked with boxers about this) going into a fight angry almost guarantees you’ll lose.

So your only definition of the “world going to shit” is housing prices? I clearly said that there are a lot of problems in the world.

Housing is a serious issue and while nationally prices probably won’t be going significantly down there are some places where the price has gone down. Not enough to be sure unfortunately.

How does getting angry solve that problem? How does getting angry solve any problem? If getting angry doesn’t solve the problem what might?

I’m not an economist. I’m not sure about world prices. I answered the question the best I can with the knowledge I have.

One definition of neoliberslism is: A political ideology or ideological trend based on neoclassical economics that espouses economic liberalism, favouring trade liberalisation, financial deregulation, a small government, privatisation and liberalisation of government businesses, passive antitrust enforcement, accepting greater economic inequality and disfavouring unionisation.

I don’t support any of that.

Salamendacious OP ,
@Salamendacious@lemmy.world avatar

Yes or no what?

Salamendacious OP ,
@Salamendacious@lemmy.world avatar

Worldwide? I don’t know. In the US? Yes they’ve gone up. In the summer prices began to dip but in autumn they rose again. Some towns and cities in California, Texas, Kentucky, Washington state, and Oregon have declined. Most places are holding. It doesn’t look like prices will go down in the near future.

Now my questions:

  • Is housing prices the most important criterion to describe the world as "going to shit?"
  • How does getting angry solve the problem of housing? Or any problem?
  • If getting angry doesn’t solve the housing problem what might?

You’re free to talk with me or not. You can dismiss me as a neoliberal if you want but that doesn’t describe me all at. In our whole conversation I’ve made primarily two points: (1) anger is neither a good nor productive emotion and (2) while the world has many serious problems, over the decades consistent progress has been made to improve the situation of most of the world’s population. Generally, if trends continue the future will be better than the past for a lot of people (the recent uptick in world hunger going against the previous trend of reduced hunger is a counterargument).

Okay… so your username. Is that referring to an additive that tastes like butt hair? Or is it something to make your butt hair more palatable? Either way I’m willing to bet there’s a market out there somewhere for your product.

I’m just working towards that Pulitzer.
