"You know what, forget it. I'll walk."

yes

Native controller support is ~~exiting!~~ exciting¡

Luanti plays great on SteamDeck, but setting up the controls has required some experience with Steams controller to keyboard mapping tools.

Fascinating stuff. Thank you for sharing it.

Roughly 1/3 lies is much worse than I would have expected, or hoped for.

You can look up the composition of each index, before you buy it.

Usually I need a web search to map the stock ticker to a holding company and then another wwb search to map the holding company to a real company.

You'll see heavy amounts of Microsoft, Alphabet (Google) and Amazon in anything that is just blindly buying with an algorithm - almost as if algorithm companies are good at fooling an algorithm...

Searching for funds with a non-technology focus will help, or searching for funds that focus on providing a dividend return (today's biggest tech companies are deep in debt and usually don't pay a quarterly dividend.)

Companies that do routinely pay a dividend are under some pressure to resoond to their customers rather than to CEO hype waves.

This is excellent advice. I don't know the future. I just know that technology is acting the ways it did before previous busts, but much worse this time.

Still... transportation is looking really good, right now. Everybody needs stull delivered.

Be sure to dig into the composition of any index fund you buy. Many of them have so much technology stock that they're both indistinguishable from each-other and also doomed (edit: As was pointed out - yes this is hyperbole. I am neither from the future nor a sacred prophet of a time traveling diety.).

The market does great over time, but anyone in tech can tell you this is an abysmal time to buy in to tech stock.

Any fund that blindly buys big popular companies is going to be shattered by the coming tech bubble bursting.

Look for funds with rules for inclusion. Today's tech stocks are fraught with fraud may have trouble passing those rules.

Ethical funds exist, but don't currently go far enough to protect your investment. Smoking is bad, but certain kinds of warmongering are apparently a-ok...

Sector specific funds like energy, or transportation have much lower exposure to the current tech bubble.

Mixed history and all - public figures publicly embracing doing better through a better work environment goes in the "win" column.

I asume the prompt was: Tell me your board of directors are all too young to remember the DotCom bust without telling me so directly.

and I challenge you to watch it again and defend its virtues.

"Barf" is a half dog played by John Candy. I rest my case, your honor.

My kid watches it continuously, and they and I find it hilarious.

And yes, people do roll their eyes at my Monty Python quotes.

Now I need a "Spaceballs: The Money" duffel bag!
