    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Project Blue Beam is by far the most plausible explanation. Besides. What subject was ever documented exclusively on youtube and tiktok and then actually turned out to be true? Almost everything is fake and gay now, but if its only on youtube and tiktok, its especially fake and gay.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Odd that the us line stops around 2010 while the others continue. Still, it shows a minor decrease from 1970 to that point. But I concede that the opposite has been happening elsewhere especially in developing countries.

    Its the biggest problem with shooting varmints. The rifle is rarely at hand when you need it. I shot another gopher the other day. Little motherfucker was the size of an average cat, I swear these things are fucking mutants. I'll get them all, little by little, one by one.

    NDAQ (NAsdaq Inc) isnt exactly nothing, its the corporation that runs several major stock exchanges including NASDAQ. Since I've had it on my watchlist its generally tracked NASDAQ more or less. Answered my own question. Looks like for whatever reason this large drop was caused by their...

    I'm confused, why is NDAQ down 12% while QQQ is up 0.6%? Not holding either one, just don't get the disconnect. edit to forestall the probably still inevitable: yes I understand that they are different things and am not looking for the basic description of each, but rather any speculations...

    I got audited the first year I filed schedule C. After sending them 5 fucking hundred pages of documentation, they gave me every penny plus interest. Now it just feels like a game. Whats the worst theyre gonna do, audit me? oh no

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    And once you get audited once, the fear of audit goes away completely and you realize how much room for creativity there is in taxes. Especially once you toss a schedule C and a schedule F on the pile. I swear they must just use a RNG to determine who gets audited.

    If I'm an ant, from my perspective, human behavior toward ants absolutely constitutes war. Also, if I'm an ant who notices humans and has the ability to wage war, damn straight it's war, for our survival. Nobody said war only happens between equals. The existence of sentient aliens would be a...

    Yeah I don't disagree at all about the mechanics youre describing. I'm just saying that I constantly run into people who act like the decay will eat your profit if you hold longer than 1 day. The magnitude of the decay is all I was quibbling over. I find that many people overestimate it. I wish...

    decay over time is wildly overestimated, especially on a little barely leveraged ETF like NVDS Dont hold them years :) My NVDS is a week or so old, I'll probably sell in the next couple days. not cause holding longer would be too risky but because its already a small profit and thats my...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    UFOs are fake and gay, but if they were real, it would be hugely important for exactly this reason. Either they kill us or we kill them. The history of non-human hominids shows what happens when sentient species come into contact. Except in the case of aliens, without the occasional oops...
