Dear Nairalanders,

We have just activated a feature that allows you to block people who harass you for a period of time (currently a week).

When you block someone, you will be automatically blocked back by that person, so you won't be able to see each others' posts.

When the fixed period is over, you will both be released automatically, giving you another chance to treat each other better.

The admin, super-moderators, and moderators cannot block people or be blocked.

To block someone, visit the person's profile and click on the [ Block ] button shown below:

Enjoy your new power. But remember that you're also blocking yourself.

budaatum:
Where is this block button?

Oh golly, I found the block button! It completely blocks so you see no posts by blocked person unless quoted by others.

Unfortunately, I tested it on AmazonTopaz, as I planned to ask if she's informed I blocked her. And now she's blocked so I can't read any posts by AmazonTopaz unless quoted by others. And its currently permanent as there is no option yet to unblock AmazonTopaz.

Seun! Temporary blocks please so I can unblock AmazonTopaz!

AmazonTopaz:
I am here to announce that I just came on Nairaland today and saw that there is a block button. I have proceeded to block. Basil idiot let me look for the other two idiots and block them. Even if it's only temporary I will keep exercising my new found powers.

God bless Nairaland.

Well put. I'll respond later.
It is in the interest of globalists that the US govt debts keep growing for the next decade or so for their own benefit not mine

Beijing is going on a spending spree that will encourage Chinese people to crack open their wallets.

Simply put, they are not spending enough.

Now you are engaging facts. I don't mind people being on the other side of the debate, as long as you engage facts. Good question, who will buy $800bn worth of bonds if the UK dumps it? Nobody!!! And this is why I said in my response "for argument sake"

basilico:
Why would UK dump the debt, was my question. It doesn't have good returns or to punish Trump?
If it's about bad returns who will buy a massive $800B of debt knowing the dollar will crash any time.
In other words ,you hold America debt. You are stuck with it, you not selling it to noone.
The UK earns around 4.42% yield from the 10 year US Treasury Bonds . That works out to $36B annually.
The UK will just dump this golden goose to spite Trump.

Condos are often the first and biggest movers in local housing markets. Prices exploded in many of them over the three years between mid-2019 and the peak in mid-2022, by 60% such as in Austin, TX; by 70% such as in Tampa, FL, and Chula Vista, San Diego County, CA; or by 80% such as in Mesa, AZ, and Lakeland, FL.

But this absurdity is now coming unglued, and prices have begun spiraling down. In Austin, which is on the forefront of this movement, prices have already given up nearly two-thirds of the 60% three-year gain. People who bought at the top in mid-2022 are 22% underwater. People who bought in mid-2019 are still sitting on a 20% gain that is shrinking.

Blame for this absurdity in 2020 through mid-2022 goes to the Fed’s schemes of money-printing and interest rate repression at the time, which triggered a general mania for asset purchases.

Lol. That is what the "Fake News" reported before the White said they were lying.
I guess we all know who was telling the truth.
But when you take both sides of every position, you're never wrong, abi?

Musk dismisses protests
Analysts in recent weeks have been laying much of the blame for the biggest sales drop in company history on Musk’s controversial role in the Trump administration as the head of DOGE, which has resulted in protests outside Tesla showrooms and vandalism at its facilities. There has also been a sharp drop in sales in Europe, where Musk has also become politically active, supporting far-right political parties in Germany and the United Kingdom.

Musk claimed, without offering any proof, that those protesters were speaking out because they had been receiving the “waste and fraud” that he said DOGE has been eliminating. He also defended the work of DOGE as the right thing for the country and the company.

cococandy:
meanwhile Biden had an actual $35 cap on insulin for seniors on Medicare.
Something Trump himself called a radical approach and immediately sought to dismantle as soon as he could. Anything that helps people is immediately classified as radical by the right wingers.

Now we’re supposed to celebrate his concept of a plan to cut medication costs. Not even action. Just plans.

All talks and no action. Like his no tax on tips promises.

LOWERING PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to expand on the historic efforts of his first term to lower prescription drug prices.

The Order directs the Department of Health and Human Services to take steps to significantly reduce drug prices for American patients.

The Order helps states reduce drug prices by:
Facilitating importation programs that could save states millions in prescription drug costs.

Okortor:
Little wonder I commented on a post yesterday and in less than 3 seconds I got banned for an harmless comment lol..

Thanks for the clarification seun.. cheer's.

geoworldedu:
I was innocently banned too. What pained me was that I was banned when I was not toxic at all, not when I was giving it hot hot to tribalists and those who insulted me first.

To those who can't express themselves without attacking others, this new anti spam bot won't allow them.

Normal comments without breaking the rules are sometimes blacklisted by the anti spam bot not to talk of abusive/insultive words.

I have just been receiving empty mentioning since morning. Man rest small from those trollers

BlackViper:
So why is Seun apologising for it?

Zik4zik:
This post I made here on Nairaland yesterday. They preferred I died in silence
