I moved my stocks into non-US bonds and GICs when the first round of tariffs against us (Canada) happened. At this point I think it’d be a terrible idea to jump ship because you’ll realize that loss.

xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you would like to abolish, and why? (Humorously)3·1 month agoNot the hyphen specifically - just a distinct symbol for contractions.
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•"I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?4·1 month agoSo you’re of the opinion that somehow by making five hundred austerity cuts saving two million dollars each the GOP will shave a trillion from the budget? Is Trump going to increase or decrease the deficit in your mind?
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•"I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?9·1 month agoThe democrats are fiscally conservative. The GOP believes in budget unbalancing tax cuts and are fiscally liberal.
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•"I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?123·1 month agoI assume they vote liberal or are uncomfortable being seen as the hateful sack of shit they are.
If we’re talking America the parties align like this:
- Democrat: Socially moderate, fiscally conservative
- Republican: Socially regressive, fiscally liberal
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you would like to abolish, and why? (Humorously)21·1 month agoI’d be cool with that - I don’t care how we mark contractions just as long as we stop reusing apostrophes for it.
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you would like to abolish, and why? (Humorously)31·1 month agoEh - I thought dash was a pretty reasonable symbol for “There’s a contraction here” I don’t really care about the actual symbol as long as we stop using the same symbol for contractions and possessives. In my sample
It-s
would currently be writtenIt's
and theit's
(a possessive) would beits
if that’s what you’re asking.Possessives always get an apostrophe outside of weird exceptions where they clash with contractions. I’m proposing we fix that. Also - let’s bring back mass possessions like “At the bake sale Moms’ baked goods are always delicious”
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you would like to abolish, and why? (Humorously)171·1 month agoThe inconsistency of apostrophe usage in English for possessives and contractions. If it was instead written…
It-s a wonderful day out today, take your phone but turn off it’s data so you can soak up the clear blue skies.
It’d be so much fucking easier and my OCD would be satiated.
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its Dinner Plans - AMA10·1 month agoCan you confirm that Trump had a quart of gravy with a side of hollandaise for lunch? During the meal did he indeed steal some of RFK Jr’s beef tallow fried clubbed seal to dip in it?
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•God asked you to list 5 sources of data to show to everyone after their certain death. What would you list?3·1 month agoI’d just suggest five Terry Pratchett novels because… you’re dead, why not enjoy a few hours reading some good books before whatever happens next - especially since Pratchett’s Death was specifically written to be comforting to those facing their mortality.

xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What sorts of punctuation do you wish existed, or were in common use in your language?7·1 month agoAs someone with ADHD you have no idea how correct you are.
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What sorts of punctuation do you wish existed, or were in common use in your language?212·1 month agoWe speak in run-on sentences.
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What sorts of punctuation do you wish existed, or were in common use in your language?261·1 month agoPause interrogatives and interrogative starting marks - aka ,? and ¿
Interrogative starting marks are extremely useful for clarity and pause interrogatives better align with natural speech.
Eh buddy, me and Bob were thinking of heading down to Timmes. ¿Do you want to come,? there’s a sale on the chili.
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there a way to change the flavicon to another fediverse platform?5·1 month agoI’m actually not certain. I’m sure something like tampermonkey can do it but I’m not super familiar with how it works. I know what you want to do - but not how to do it.
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there a way to change the flavicon to another fediverse platform?12·1 month agoFlavicons can only be set to former Public Enemy members.
But to change a favicon you should be able to just inject this into a header block

xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What have you viewed as the "least bad" among employers when looking for work?14·1 month agoIndividual contributor - a term for everyone who isn’t a manager.
xmunk@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What have you viewed as the "least bad" among employers when looking for work?36·1 month agoCompanies where there are long tenured employees outside of management is my ultimate green flag. If you can figure out who is in management by drawing names out of a hat by senority and stop when you run through 80% of managers without hitting a single IC then you should be aware that ICs have very little say in how the company is run so half the managers are there out of frustration because they needed to become a manager to enact change.

Be very careful with mutual funds in this climate. Most are heavily weighted towards the Mag7 which include some of the most massively overinflated stocks.
