People in western countries who tell me that "we have the freedom to do whatever we want" clearly lack either ambition or imagination.

So over the past months, the price of almost everything I needed has increased, whereas the price of my bitcoin in various fiat currencies has stagnated.

So I lost purchasing power without spending money while expressly keeping my savings in an allegedly inflation-proof form.

My gold's doing fine though, it pretty much reflects how much the price of nearly everything has gone up.

So a lot of web apps I've been using at work have been losing features and gained new bugs, must be that "progress" everyone keeps waffling about.

And I'll do it again

If all the intern does is give me pages and pages of half-baked AI-generated answers to questions I may or may not have asked, what do I need the intern for then? I can just generate my own slop - or better yet, read the actual sources to gain actual knowledge 😅
