    AssHat of the year, 2022 version!

    Have you people learned nothing from Ossoi? No person who actually wants the position of AssHat shall ever be granted that position. This mistake has already happened at least once, do we really need to do it again?

    Or you work in a shitty industry that forces shit like that and have decided to claim it as a badge of pride. Nobel laureates, university presidents, run of the mill academic researchers ... the level isnt the issue, "taking responsibility" isnt the issue. None of us have to do that shit. But...

    No, you're missing it, having a flip phone is the protection against this. Anytime some mark of the beast loving asshole tries to get me to download an MFA app I can just hold up my phone and say "sorry, you'll need to find another option". Cant help you with the other shit but not having...

    The English

    Will this be a show about how the white woman is immediately captured as a slave by the Indians and treated worse for the rest of her short miserable life than any White Man ever treated an animal? Or just another made up alternate version of history like every other show about the old west...

    what the fuck. a block of cheese and some big ass pieces of onion on a sad little dinner roll? Is there anything - one single thing - that the UK can do right? Every time I see photos of food from the UK, its like food prepared from an understocked bachelors fridge by an alien who had never...

    starting to hit sell limits on my bear stuff (TECS sold so far, AAPD not far behind). Its sooner than I'd expected to be selling but I'll take the profits, its been on my side just about all week and I'm not sure how much farther down we go on this leg. edit - Looking at 3M charts makes me...

    And all of those would be interesting questions that they could have attempted to address. Instead we got a series of weird little music videos.

    WandaVision

    Legion had a great idea and ruined it by taking it too far. After about halfway through the last season I watched, it was no longer clear whether any person on screen was actually real, whether the events shown on screen were actually happening, or why the fuck anyone should care. There were...

    Yes, decay is pretty readily apparent on the charts for these. Im just saying you can hold yhem a whole lot longer than intra day. Thats it.

    I checked closed positions because who knows maybe I was crazy and remembering wrong. But yeah, my most recent SQQQ was 9/8 - 9/16 for +13%. Nothing exciting but not a loss. Looking back at it that turns out to be a pretty useful example, right after I bought SQQQ it dropped, so I held a few...

    You can hold inverse ETFs a lot longer than intra-day and still make a profit. Not long term but a few days? A week? Often profitable.

    The Peripheral

    Yeah, as a huge fan of almost any post-apocalyptic fiction, this is the thing that absolutely kills anything in this genre for me. Like I wish I'd never wasted time opening it in the first place. Its the equivalent of getting to the last episode and "lol it was all just a...

    The Peripheral

    Reading about the question "what is the jackpot" is incredibly unsatisfying. Imagine writing a post apocalyptic series of novels but never bothering to dream up what the actual apocalypse was. Just dumb. The real meaning was the friends we found along the way! Shows good so far but my reading...

    Dante's Divine Comedy

    Its one of the many fucked up things about US higher education. I don't remember the exact number of credits required, but I know that I took 7 goddam semesters of literature related classes to fulfill requirements for my Biology degree. It didnt have to be literature of course, that was just...

    I envy the guts of people playing options like this. I'm often confident it will go up or down and doing OK with these bets in the short term. But I'm very rarely confident - or correct - about exactly when. Monday? Wednesday? The following week? I dunno. Hope youre right!

    its fair, there is some risk I'm early. But I told myself if SPY hit 390 by end of day thats what I'd do, so I stuck to it. My thinking is that a pullback from the rapid rise over the last week could line up with some selling around the Fed meeting, and make a nice big dip. We'll see. I could be...

    random noob blogging, Since I mentioned buying bullish ETFs previously I feel compelled to note that I sold all of these positions over the past week, the last of them at close of day Friday. SOXL,SPXL,TQQQ,TLT. Like an exp grind, got some decent gains from these but nothing too exciting...

    Political ads airing on channels and shows that children are likely to be watching, and that talk about abortion. I mean what in the actual fuck. You literally-evil-like-Satan pieces of shit, at least have the restraint to not talk about killing babies in front of kids. At least the trans...

    FOH Shower Thoughts

    The whole reason for Twitter is a giant Turing test for AI development. The character limit exists to break this broad challenge into a series of smaller, more manageable tasks. The huge number of bots on the platform arent a bug, they're the core reason it exists.

    Advice for someone failing college?

    Im echoing Mist and Control on this one. If he had it in him to finish, he's literally one semester from being done. I'm guessing Dan ain't gonna do any more academic work. Dan should find a way to salvage a degree with the credit he has in place. A lesser degree from his own institution may...

    Somebody needs to tell SPY what AAPLs doing cause it doesnt seem to have noticed I just need 390 so I can get out of all these ridiculous bull ETFs before the Wil E Coyote moment nm, looks like it noticed finally!

    Only seen the rat one so far. OK but nothing special, seems like they're just focusing on gross instead of scary. Skipped the first one so it wouldnt color my perception of the show overall. Which is best? Id love to skip right to the best one released so far

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    I dont get how the recent retcon of the classic GL to make him gay now, is somehow relevant to the discussion. I mean, that was one of the dumbest, mosty pandering woke retcons of any woke retcon in recent history.

    Some form of bread product - whether crumbs, stuffing, cracker crumbs, whatever - is a required ingredient in meatloaf, without which, it is not meatloaf. Conversely, no bread products of any kind may be added to a burger without immediately transforming it into meatloaf.

    I don't buy the false dichotomy. Either we demand easily falsified proof or we are here just for shitposting and entertainment? I'm gonna respectfully suggest that its possible to learn in an environment where you're skeptical about the veracity of what people are posting, and leave it at that.
