    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...

    Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities

    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.

Looking into it a little, I don't see an announcement that it will be required, just that some accounts will be automatically enrolled. It looks like maybe you can turn...

    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.

    Guy is so funny. He's so absolutely hateable that I want to like him just to be contrarian. I just can't do it. Gotta respect the guy for making a career out of literally just eating food on camera and going "oh man, WOW, man that is SO GOOD" even if he does frost his hair

    If every time someone posts a trade without very easily falsified "proof", they are in danger of a week long thread ban... that just says "don't bother ever posting trades". I don't see how anything is better by saying "SQQQ might be a shot here". Did somebody believe Mist actually dropped...

    Its kinda funny, I mean whos gonna care enough to bother screenshotting and cropping to post "proof" that would be trivial to falsify anyway? Is the thread somehow better when we all say "this stock may be worth looking at, but this is not investing advice?" instead of "I bought this stock...
