https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/30/warren-buffett-rips-wall-street-for-turning-the-stock-market-into-a-gambling-parlor.html Like most articles on NBC the article isnt worth reading really, you've already read the interesting bits. I just posted it here to say, this is one of a couple* really...

So the rate hike announcement is wed next week? Is that right? Its not clear to me from the calendar https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/calendar.htm

Eh, I guess its positive, but still seems kind of weak. Wonder if it outweighs the AMZN/AAPL reports.

Is English not your first language or something? I mean even that weird fancy British kind of English? The point of my analogy was not the word "first" (obviously). The point is that to outside observers, the person complaining that a tape recording of their voice "isnt what they sound like"...

After reading a few Brits complain about this accent I had an epipheny. Ya know how the first time you hear a recording of your voice, everyone objects? Everyone always say the same thing: "I dont sound like that!" But you do, its literally a recording, its exactly what you sound like...

I mean, the book may have given Rand a little bit of juvenile wish fulfillment on the part of the author, granted. Instead the TV version depicts a relationship with a half orc, an old Chinese lady, and a hot redhead. And the hot redhead is the first one he meets. Hows that play out exactly...

Well if we're on that subject, fucking phenomena / phenomenon Every goddam day someone fucks that up and I have to suppress the urge to kill, again, and wonder if its worth all the effort

oil's falling to pre-ukraine lows by end of day it looks like. wonder if it falls even lower. Hope its stays that low a couple days

This. When I was a kid, girls wore tights under their skirts. Now they're just skipping the skirt part. Don't get me wrong, yoga pants are hot as fuck on the right woman, but as appropriate for the office as showing up in nothing but a teddy and garter belt. Its bizarre that women wear this in...

Its one of several bits of serious retardation in British English. Mathematics isnt plural. Its singular. It describes a field of study. A singular thing. It has an S on the end. But so do a lot of other singular words. Yes, some dictionaries list it as both plural and singular (as if that...

Hiking in 100+ heat? if its 100+ degrees, I'm not moving. The only movement that makes sense is getting the fuck out of that state to somewhere with a climate fit for humans.

I'm saying your comment makes no sense whatsoever because you've misread the article. But I'm trying not to say it the way I'd say it in the Politics forum. The article is saying that the S&P performed better in the 6-12 months after surveys said it was going to tank, then it did during other...

I know this is the grown up section of the forums and I'm trying but I feel like you may be missing the meaning of the phrase "above average" in the article I posted

https://www.tradingview.com/news/reuters.com,2022:newsml_L2N2WK160:3-bulls-remain-depressed/ I do speak English as my first language, but need to clarify. So the American Association of Individual Investors Sentiment Survey (AAII) consistently and reliably gets it wrong? Is that what this is...

TWTR up 5%, well over the price when Musk first announced his plans. Anyone see what news drove this rise today?

While I'm certainly not skeptical about oil rising, why you do say this specifically?

Fidelity is finally offering trades on ONTTF again. Got mine at 4.52. I've posted about it before, but this is purely based on the technology rather than any financial details. IMO this is poised to be the next winner in DNA sequencing tech, purely from the technology standpoint. The current...

Yeah I sure never hear the Pope make any statements on political matters. Only those awful " " " Evangelicals " " "

I don't know why people are worfing this post, its more plausible than any of the shakycam videos of streetlights that get lots of serious discussion And way more entertaining.

You made the right decision. The first 2/3 of the book are awesome. Then that fucking third part that makes you question why any of us ever consider Stephenson to be even a halfway competent writer I'm still saltier about the third part of that book than I am about the ending of Lost

yeah I wonder why radio would still be a thing Sure the format sucks, but it has the advantage of actually fucking working outside of urban shitholes

I agree with this long term. But I also think a global free speech platform is a fundamentally different thing than what social media is, at least now. And could in the long term turn into something much more valuable.

I keep reading your posts on the subject and agreeing but then waiting for you to bring up the downside A globally important shitposting forum with Elon Musk in charge? I've never looked twice at Twitter but I bought some the second I heard and will probably add more once it drops farther I...

The value of twitter (I cant fucking believe I'm typing that phrase) isnt the tech, its the cultural influence. When OSC wrote Ender and Valentine shaping the politics of their world through anonymous arguments on the internet, it was fiction. Its reality now, and thats largely because of...

Honestly, your description makes it sound like the ideal investment for this timeline and now I'm looking at TWTR for the first time ever

I've been wanting to bring up DNA sequencing for a while. This was just a research technology for a long time but covid officially changed that - people speculated about personalized medicine blah blah blah for a decade. But once we started sequencing covid samples on an unprecedented scale to...

This is a good point, it makes this even more regressive than the usual Dem anti-gas policies. Now us poors get hit twice - rising gas costs are a larger fraction of our income AND the shit gas blends will wreck our engines.

lol ethanol as a control on gas prices. Hows that supposed to work? the price goes down a little, but fuel efficiency also goes down so you have to buy more. Meanwhile food prices go up. Go Brandon!

theyre literally eating the biofilm - a layer of bacteria and other microbes that covers all submerged surfaces. There is no lower you can go down the food chain here on Earth. I don't understand why humans have allowed this species to coexist with us for so long. So gross.

Looks like things are finally flattening out for me after only losing half my goddam Q1 earnings in a week Q1 was ridiculously kind to me, but it turns out to be a fickle bitch

Decided to DIY a plucker, I'll post once I finish. In the past I've said negative things about free ranging chickens. I need to take that back. After moving the chicken coop and building a new fence, we've started free ranging both our layers and our meat birds. Something about the new layout...

I see it differently. I don't see this as Will Smith trying to be miserable. This is a cautionary tale about wife choice. Tie yourself to the wrong woman and your life will be miserable, even if you're a world-wide beloved millionaire movie star.

Feel free to laugh at me for just discovering this, but maybe theres someone who hasnt used it yet. The Analysis tab at Fidelity has some great tools for quickly identifying issues with my portfolio. One of my index funds has more AMZN and GOOG than I realized, leaving me with a concentration...

ok folks anyone got experience with chicken pluckers? We're 6 weeks from harvest day and starting to prepare. I see lots of DIY plans online, a variety of designs. Anyone made or used a DIY chicken plucker? I'm not opposed to buying one if thats the right way to go; we're raising at least 50...

The way some of you talk about taking the risk of watching movies movies sounds more cautious than I am when investing. And I'm a poor. This looks great

What? No, everybody prefers white girls, obviously, by a large margin. Thats the root cause of half the fucked up race shit in the world today.

My horizon is long, its not a question of being bothered by it in terms of "oh shit I'm gonna lose my money". I'm invested in index funds, commodities, stocks I plan to hold long term, and stocks I plan to hold shorter term. As a noob I make mistakes and expect that; over a long enough time I'm...

If a person were to find their portfolio shrinking by 1-2% per day consistently for about a week, is taking any action advisable or is the right move to stop watching it and just come back in a month? asking for a friend

Its true, youve both nailed areas my portfolio lacks (aside from index funds) - consumer staples and healthcare. Every time I look for something to buy in either sector I only seem to find stocks at their ATH. Got plenty of energy but just apparently the wrong ones!

Khonshu just constantly talking shit about Steven is great. What was his first line? Something like "Oh great, the idiots awake"
