Collapse

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.


RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort, high volume and low relevance posts.

EDIT: it works in the browser, if you allow for a delay before hitting it again.

It works in Jerboa but not Firefox mobile. No need to kill it.

So, we're back to the 1990s, but without the nice things and the optimism. Neat.

What is "Personal Interest" in this case? Student loans?

[–] eleitl@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Several possibilities according to https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/110614/what-are-main-categories-debt.asp

I also think it's a strange term.

I assume it means something like "discretionary spending" but it's not clear.
