Sigma nuts, haHAA

2010, vaguely remember a change in credit/debt reporting related to the crash. Found this while searching, rules changed in July 2010. In theory, actual debt didn't change, but it shows how vastly accounting can shift numbers around. Is the data accurate now?
2020, consumer debt 'only' dropped by ~120 billion, supposedly ~3 trillion was distributed through stimulus, kinda lines up.
Pretty sure I've got it too. Looking back, it was like having multiple "me's" in the back of my head, I could just keep taking in more numbers and information, and have it turn into something useful without any conscious effort. I have to work with lots of model and serial numbers, used to be able to glance at nametags and equipment numbers, keep several trains of thought running at the same time, and write detailed maintenance reports a few hours later, keeping everything in line and organized. Caught covid three years ago, and it took nearly my entire minds eye away, didn't really come back.
Figured out my memory worked visually, now my head is full of static. Writing is difficult, memory full of holes, filled with anxiety to the point where I can't move. If only I knew what I had, and if only I knew how to get it back. Wanted to get checked out before covid, not sure if its worth finding out now that I'm not whole any more, especially with the stigma building around it now.
It's always fun being given a philosophic dilemma, at random, in public. AM I a terrorist? I collect my basic needs by inflicting karmic violence onto others, by acting on behalf of my employers. Attempting to limit my own karmic violence by withdrawing from the system of violence is treated as violence on its own, and is, or will be, reacted to with yet more violence. I am an unwilling participant in the cycle of violence that MUST eat, and MUST sleep, while the powers that be demand MORE violence, which is then passed down through me unto others again. If I try to reject the violence, or limit how much violence I must commit, then I will be forced to endure the violence personally.
Inflicting karmic violence is my only choice to continue existing, and every phase of violence before me, through me, and after me, is the result of a political environment that has eliminated any choice I might have had.
The poll needs a third answer, "Yes, but unwillingly."
I find it amusing that the ultra wealthy believe pornographic images would replace an entire human relationship. Really shows how deeply warped they are, projecting they're own callous insanity onto the masses. What a small, sad existence.
Every now and then, the worm gets tired, and must take a nap.
Kinda upset that no one makes a big deal about connecting the rail strikes with the East Palestine incident. Like, the president interferes with a union negotiation, revokes their right to strike in order to "save Christmas," then a major incident occurs three months later because the boss ordered the workers to ignore safety issues while transferring hazardous chemicals. To me, this seems like low hanging fruit to rile up voters and start pushing for change, but it all just... faded away.
If we pushed to fully automate everything that possibly can be automated, there wouldn't be much work left. Jobs right now are just busywork.
The news drones on and on about labor shortages, but I've never seen a desperate employer. The trades say there's shortages, but all the trades are flooded with apprentices, and then there's pre-apprentices flooded in behind them. Office jobs have to sort through hundreds of applications for a single opening. Hell, even low wage jobs have huge labor pools ready to work, but the owners still find a way to nitpick. Things are horrifically upside down.
Topographically speaking, bowls, plates, forks, spoons, and knives are all spheres.

Half-joking. The technical data suggests there is a possible change in trend coming up. No guarantees. This is not trading advice.
I wonder if an adnauseam approach could help. Instead of the customer relying on the carrier or manually blocking spam numbers, if everyone picked up every spam call, goes through the automated system to reach a person, says "hello?", then mutes the mic and lets the human stick around until they hang up.
Sure, they have robocallers that can hit 50,000 numbers a minute, but what happens when every single number answers and gets routed to the humans?
I remember it starting back on reddit in response to the whole "alpha" thing. The point was to goad the alphabros to ask "what's sigma" then hit them with "sigma nuts." They would get so pissed off, there was a whole subreddit for barbaric sigma memes mocking them and posting screenshots of sigma nuts.
Then they started taking it seriously, and the joke shifted to asking what they thought sigma meant, and the subreddit started posting screenshots of the insane replies.
Then, people started taking it TOO seriously, and everything went downhill.
