China is absolutely f***ed...

Ostensibly, they have the world's second largest economy at around 19 trillion, but in actual "real world" terms, it's probably half of that. And their debt to GDP DWARFS the US'

They have 60 trillion dollars in unsecured debt. That is a 3 to 1 debt to GDP ratio, which is unfathomable.

When I have to reset a password with that restriction I make it whatever object my eye lands on first, along with a sequence of numbers with a special character. For example, I might make a password like this: Ibuprofen50mg7877# 😅
Sometimes I will let Google make the password (Google says I won't have to remember the password). Well i did this a few months ago on an account and well guess what...it didn't auto fill the password in like it said it would. I was not happy lol.
 
Another in depth look at the Chinese economy (if you're interested)

This is long, but it is extremely informative. It's probably the best analysis of their economy and it's likely outcome that I've seen.

And when people talk about how much US debt that China owns, were you aware that China has defaulted on a ONE TRILLION DOLLAR sovereign loan that is held by American bond holders? F*** those guys.

When China's economy started taking off, and received trillions of dollars of foreign investments, the government controlled banks loaned 27 trillion dollars out to Chinese companies, townships, and company startups/infrastructure. And they are STILL sitting on that debt. 😲 😲

It gets even WORSE. After 2016 until now, they've issued/loaned out another THIRTY TRILLION dollars of what is mostly unsecured debt. That brings their total debt load to almost 60 trillion dollars. And with these tariffs and the considerable slow down in exports, they are quite literally STARVED for US Dollars. IOW, they are massively, and I mean MASSIVELY F***ED...

China used more concrete in THREE YEARS than the United States did in the entire 20th century. 4.5 gigatons for the US and 6.6 gigatons for China. Most of which was used for train stations that remain unused, millions of buildings that are vacant, and hundreds of thousands of miles of roads and bridges that serve NO purpose.

But, since I don't write it DOWN, next month it might change to Bagofpotatochips3466!
I do the same thing but I write mine down in a notebook and change it every so often. My Wife thinks I'm crazy when it comes to passwords. I'll even combine words to make my password then add a few characters like a hashtag, exclamation point, question mark, then a few numbers. I'm getting to where I'm running out of line space on a lot of the websites/apps I frequent. I keep it in a hard plastic clipboard I've had for years that has a lot of important stuff in it. I'm kind of a weirdo when it comes to that sort of thing. I'd like to think I'm doing my part to confuse the shit out of potential scammers.
 
I love your responses. You just prove my comments true over, and over again. My favorite part is you read them then you respond exactly with what I say that you do and what you are.

Also, for the record I haven’t insulted you. You can call them insults but that would be wrong, per usual with you. The comments I’ve made are my observations of you and how you respond to other people. None of it is untrue considering you haven’t said otherwise.

You can gaslight me all you want, but we both know you were the one who tuck tailed and ran away last week after one response. If you truly wanted to engage with it you would have but you ran away, and that’s okay for you given what we know about you.
You can identify the baiters here by many factors, but one clear one is that they will post anything that is negative and harp on it as if it matters, but if or when that same issue is positive, they are silent. As obvious examples, look to polling, the stock market, and inflation. When those numbers were bad, Maddie Boo Boo and Tweaky Deaky made sure to post about them. When positive? Crickets. It was notable when they could bait with it. Now it’s not mentionable. Because it is all bait.

This is exactly why they should be ignored.

Normies should stop playing defense against them and simply go on the offensive.

For example:

I can't wait to see what Trump accomplishes in his 3rd term, after all the success he'll have this term.

You are a very confused little boy; While I'm generally a very generous guy, I don't get paid to help you work through your problems. I have never run from anyone here, but I have a life and work outside this board and don't read it some days. You should try that as well...probably healthier. You may discover life outside the cult makes you feel better and you can worth through your rage and contempt. Hell, you might feel so good you won't need to declare yourself internet champion to bolster your evidently low self esteem.
 
Why "debate" them (you aren't, you are squabbling), when time proves them wrong? Time and Time Again, that's the Reality. And most of the time they are still just going to double down on being wrong, like all the Trump hoaxes for example from fine people, to "suckers and losers," and all the way to convicted "felon."

They're just a snake eating its own tail. By no means should you take them seriously. As a former liberal, I guess I could call myself that now, I say that with regret. Ideally, you need functioning dialogue, real discourse to find the truth... but what's coming from them, especially since TDS, has been decidedly not that. It's all a (ultimately delusional) media generated narrative used to obfuscate. It's all just a lie, a means to an end, which is their Power.
 
Just watched a debate between folks concerning transgender's serving in the military. And I'll be honest, my initial opinion is that they should not serve. However, of the folks that were debating this issue, that share my opinion couldn't, IMO make a compelling argument for the prohibition of tg's in the service. And I realized that "I" was struggling to articulate a good solid argument as well.

I'm NOT saying there isn't one, I just haven't thought of it. The closest I could come is that if you have a man to woman trans, which physical fitness standard do they have to abide by? And vice-versa.

I was in the service, as most of you know, but my job had little to nothing to do with physical fitness standards. IOW, there was no difference between male and female, with respect to job ability.

Help me out.
I was told this was not an issue because trans people make up 1 or less than 1 percent of the population. So, if they are kept out, why should anyone care?

It’s trans activism that needs to be kept out of the military. We saw activism in the last administration weaken our military. We don’t need to be paying for people’s transition. A man with a penis attempting to present as a woman should not be in the women barracks, showers, etc.

We want military guided people to be in the military. If a trans person is that, I don’t think there is a problem.

Wrong again. I’ll say it again, you read my comments then you respond with exactly what I say you’ll do and what you are. You’re right on point again.

You’re still gaslighting. Fact remains that you did run away from an argument.

As you continue to nuke yourself with each response I’ll point to which funny part we’re at. You’ve almost made it a full circle, you’re almost there to make it whole. We started with how smart you think you are now you’ve entered into the holier-than-thou phase. Eventually it will dawn on you that from the original response I’ve been 100% correct and you’ve just continued to show me, and everyone else, exactly what I’ve said about you and what you are.

To quote an old saying "Everyone is a liberal until they get a job". That obviously doesn't apply these days. Never understood a liberal past the age of 35. They should have learned by now.

I find some amusement watching them talk in circles, contradict themselves, throw out elementary school insults.

There are a couple on this board that think they’re very intelligent and on a moral high ground. The fun part is pointing out to them that they really aren’t that smart and being holier-than-thou is a losing position. They squirm then prove all of it to be true.
 
At this point you're. hurling ill crafted insults because you know if you actually try to actually make some kind of point you would get your silly little a$$ kicked between your ears. Your mommy may have told you you're were the smartest boy in kindergarten, but it's time to grow past all that. Come back when you actually have a political point to make.
You should actually think about proofreading before you actually hit send.

*Yawn*

It's one thing to be angry and hateful. I get it..it's the engine that drives MAGA. Anger at minorities, gay and trans folk, immigrants, etc. But if you're strategy is to be so boring that I get tired of responding to you so you can declare yourself champion of the message board, you might be on to something,
 
Xi Jinping has not been seen, or made a public appearance in almost 2 weeks...

Neither he, nor any of his family members attended the dedication of a museum dedicated to his father. No high level members of the CCP government attended either. 😗😗😗

Holy hypocrisy, Caveman,

Do you ever read what you type?

You guys are having a circle jerk over the fact that the stock market is almost back to where it was when Biden left office, but sat silently while the stock market did exceptionally well under both Obama and Biden. Perhaps I missed your post when Trump took credit for record highs in the stock market, failing to mention it was at record highs when he took over. . You had pages and pages of criticism of Biden's response to every natural disaster, but when Trump plays golf the afternoon after 20 or so of our fellow Kentuckians lay dead from a tornado, leaving only a brief Facebook message that he obviously didn't write, again, you have little to say. I don't know if he's ever specifically acknowledge the Kentucky dead. If he has, I haven't found it.

Every time there is some protest of the actual genocide in Gaza, you guys go into convulsions, but then a mob of thugs tries to stop the counting/certification of votes in a presidential election, beating several police officers to a pulp, then break into the capitol smearing their sh*t on the walls, you call them "tourists" and compare it to a "Black Friday"n sale. I could go on and on but it would take days.

Now you’re doing the red herring and the strawman fallacy. It’s almost like you can’t make any of this up. Again, nuking yourself.

You really like using the bolded statement. Unfortunately it’s incorrect.

The DOW nearly doubled under Trump - from 16k to 30k - an 87% increase. And that includes Covid. I notice you never credited him for that, Sammy.

The DOW grew from 30k to 43k under Biden - barely 43%.

Zero police officers were beaten on Jan 6.

It is a fact that Trump IS indeed a convicted felon. Adjudicated by a jury of his peers, just like the Constitution says.. Not only that, but he has been adjudicated to be guilty of sexual assault in a civil suite, and has been found guilty of several multi million dollar financial frauds, including tax frauds, and defrauding others through fake charities, and a fake university, Those are all incontrovertible facts.

I didn't hear a tape of Trump calling our military "suckers" and "losers" but given his deep disrespect of our military, and his overall dishonesty, it is much more believable that he would make that statement, than a Five Star Marine General who is also a Gold Star Father would make up such a thing. He IS on tape mocking John McCain;'s Status as a POW, and declaring that some multi millionaire donors Congressional Medal of Freedom was "much better" than the Medal of Honor, citing that recipients of the latter are often injured or deceased, while describing the donor as a "healthy, beautiful woman". Speaking of the congressional Medal of Honor, he once stated that he felt he deserved on for having so much unprotected sex. All this is on tape. as well.
 
Literally the most annoying thing about the Internet lol.


When I have to reset a password with that restriction I make it whatever object my eye lands on first, along with a sequence of numbers with a special character. For example, I might make a password like this: Ibuprofen50mg7877# 😅

But, since I don't write it DOWN, next month it might change to Bagofpotatochips3466!

My IT recommendation here is to come up with a standard passphrase for all passwords going forward. Fairly complex, but the key is an actual phrase/long enough string you can remember, with the purpose being that it can satisfy PW requirements at it's base (complexity, length, etc). Example would be ThePadd0ck!5. Very tough to crack password or figure out with a password dictionary.

That password is likely good enough for any system. And once you start using it enough it will just be ingrained in your memory. You won't forget it because you use it for 30+ systems. Use it for your laptop/desktop password, too.. so you're using it 10 times a day.

Then, in the event of say Bank Of America needs something stronger, you can append the password. Here, you use your own standard for this. Maybe it's BOA (the companies initials) or BAN (first three of the company name).. and your password becomes ThePadd0ck!5BOA.

tl:dr: Get in the habit of using one long and complex string of characters for ALL your passwords, and then append them as needed if the system requires it, or you want more security. You'll need to reset your passwords far less once you're using this system.
