Google has fallen off the radar for me. I'm not one to waste time on someone who, if you ask me, is just another advertising company. It's the same old wine in new bottle. They pretend to predict correctly. Their false positives are true negatives.


Economic hardships can take a heavy toll on one's mental health.

When you are calm, cool, and collected, take stock of what you have left, i.e. money, time, skills, health. Put them to good use. Learn to be frugal with your time. To me, time and health are more important than money.

Downshifting may be an option.


> I can solve for x in x/a = b/c by cross multiplying so that xc = ab

Multiply both sides by a

xa/a = ba/c; a ≠ 0

Simplify

x = ba/c; a ≠ 0


The equation x/a = b/c has equivalent fractions on either side of the "equals" sign. You can make equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number.

Take a square that has a equal parts, with x parts shaded. It represents x/a.

You can split up the whole square in a different way but keep the same area. This square has c equal parts, with b parts shaded. It represents b/c.

You can represent the work by multiplication and division, too.

Take, for example, 6/12. Divide both numerator and denominator by 3. You get the equivalent fraction 2/4.

The area does not change. Hope it makes sense.


The author perfunctorily wrote the essay. By the gist of it, they sound like an elitist snob.


When you set out seeking to establish a colony you chose to name Facebook, you might not have willed it to expand into such a big universe. It's highly unlikely you could deduce how good a control you would have of your denizens who you would successfully turn into junkies over time. Now you are used to exploiting their malleability which gave rise to hegemony now palpable in your Meta.
