Of course you can use Spotify AND buy merch/see artists live. If you're down to convenience, that's what a lot of people do. If you like Billie Eilish, switching to bandcamp would not change anything for her. All I say is that your impact on a musician is so very different, depending on how large they are. I watch smaller artists and visit their shows, buy merch. And I buy their music through bandcamp, because it'll literally benefit them more compared to giving them 20 clicks on Spotify. That's fact.

Fun Fact : Kid Rock is a synonym for Epstein Island

Understand this HISTORICAL FACT. Every single company that issued ultra long corporate bonds in history started declinig soon, money invested in them became dead money for 5-10 years at least. Motorola, IBM, Coca-Cola, Disney, JCPenney, Ford. Every single one of them, there is literally not a single exception in history, for GOOGL to not decline or flatline for the next 5-10 years, it needs to be a case of "this time it's different".

You treated this like gambling instead of actually learning how to TRADE. The fact you have an allowance and even the $1K is a lot better than some people. Quit playing the victim and grow up. Maybe lose the allowance and get a job so you can learn instead of being handed everything. Let’s use that big thing in our head called a brain and figure it out, instead of looking for remorse from random Reddit OPs. Maybe, I don’t know, financially literacy courses, or gee maybe a lesson on trading and chart markups….People like you are why I only go on this over opinionated, braindead app once a week. At least you know you deserved it. Final remarks: I’ll look at responses next week if this post doesn’t get too much ‘snowflake hate’ prior. But, as someone who’s experienced the volatility of the market, had businesses go under, filed bankruptcy, made, spent, lost millions, all before the age of 25. Sitting here at 26 I can proudly say, focusing on your inward and not your outward does numbers. Quit looking for outside answers and look at the mirror. To the OP of this post, I hope you figure out your gambling issues and piss poor mindset and turn them into generational wealth. Take some time to learn and search inward. If you choose to remain in that victim mindset I show zero remorse. God Bless

Not even caring to look at what is happening and assuming China is fucking up is not going to save us from them taking over the world. In fact they have already won and we are still here laughing like they have no chance: China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) expenditure has shown significant annual variation, with recent data indicating a strong upward trend. 2024: Preliminary data indicates China invested approximately $92.4 billion in BRI projects across 149 countries. 2025: The initiative saw a record surge, with $213.5 billion in new deals signed—up 75% from 2024. This includes major investments in energy (43% of engagement), mining (especially in Kazakhstan), and technology sectors. First Half of 2025: Chinese engagement reached $124 billion in construction and investment, nearly double the full-year 2024 total of $122 billion. Cumulative BRI engagement since 2013 now exceeds $1.4 trillion, with a growing shift from transport infrastructure to energy, mining, and high-tech manufacturing.

You’re at -16 downvotes for sharing a fact. I fucking hate this app sometimes man lol “Snap’s latest financial results reveal the latest growth for its Snapchat app. It had 946 million monthly active users in Q4 2025, up 6% year-on-year – so 51 million more users”

Nice. I may be going that route soon depending on what happens here… I certainly value the hims model. I was really only slightly overweight, I mostly wanted to try it because I’ve heard it can help alcohol problems and I didn’t want to go to my doctor and be like please give me this so I drink less, and instead get referred to AA or something. It has definitely helped if for no other reason than the fact that I just can’t stand to intake that many calories. This stuff is truly kind of a miracle drug. Just hopeful I don’t get kidney cancer or something in 20 years…

Interesting fact, although the Earth’s moon is the fifth largest in the solar system, it has the second highest gravity because of being higher in density than Jupiter or Saturn’s ice moons. So the moon is second only to Mars in the whole solar system for habitability beyond Earth
