    Bard said: "The article argues that the common narrative that capitalism has led to a dramatic decline in global poverty is based on flawed data and methodology. The author points out that the data used to create the popular graph showing the decline in poverty rates does not adequately account for non-monetary forms of provisioning, such as subsistence farming and access to commons. The author also argues that the World Bank's poverty line of $1.90 PPP per day is not an accurate measure of poverty, and that a more accurate measure, the Basic Needs Poverty Line, shows that poverty has actually increased in some countries in recent decades. Finally, the author argues that the graph starts in 1820, which excludes more than 300 years of relevant history during which poverty may have increased.

    In short, the article challenges the popular narrative that capitalism has been a force for good in reducing global poverty. The author argues that the data used to support this narrative is flawed, and that a more accurate assessment of the impact of capitalism on poverty is needed."

    I went to therapy, they basically told me: toughen up buttercup, here’s the bill.

    FYI "toughen up buttercup" is a term of bullying and abuse. It is often used to dismiss and belittle someone's feelings, and to tell them to stop complaining or feeling sorry for themselves. This can be especially harmful if the person is already feeling vulnerable or insecure.

    These retro-style phones offer limited functionality, lower costs, and are gaining popularity due to digital well-being concerns. Counterpoint projects feature phone sales to reach $2.8 million by 2023, driven by minimalist movements, cost-effective B2B sales, and budget-conscious consumers.

    "MetaGoneMad" social media devolved into chaos. Selfies got replaced with close-up nostril shots. The "like" button exploded into a "passive-aggressive comment" button. Algorithm recommended enemies, not friends. Hashtags turned into full-blown novels.
