    After some consideration, the more I thought about your answers the less satisfying they are. I already addressed the point that individual investors don't make a measurable difference in share price. Already acknowledged. But exactly the same argument applies to boycotting, voting, or social...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    "Would you like to round that up to donate to charity X?" no, fucking definitely not. Fuck push charities. I don't care what the cause is. If you're gonna try to trick me into donating via ""rounding up"" then in principle the answer is no. It could be "would you like to donate 2 cents to save...

    I appreciate this writeup. The points about who really owns most of the shares and would therefore benefit from rising share prices helped clarify something I was missing. Not to dispute any of the points you made - but I note that you close by saying you won't invest in cigarette companies...

    Sure, I get that, I guess my question was poorly phrased. When your investment actions contribute to the stock price rising, you are indirectly putting money in the company's pockets since their share prices rise too. When your investments contribute to the stock price falling, isnt that a...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    That reminds me of something that rustles my jimmies at least once a week. You go into the UPS/Post Office with your packages ready to ship like a goddam normal human being. Theres a line, which is fine because how long can it take for those few people to drop off their packages? then you...

    So honest question here cause I don't understand how options work fully. But isnt it possible to make money off these companies without putting money in their pockets, by shorting or puts? This isnt a criticism, its a question. I will add that its not all or nothing; there are degrees of evil...

    I appreciate someone bringing this up , it seems like this thread constantly suggests investing in the same companies that we bash in other threads for destroying Western Civilization.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    I never got around to reporting back on our meat birds so here it is. TLDR, this little fucker was the key. My son who helped me throughout the process said it looked like cutting a cake, because you could see the layers of feathers, meat, bone, etc in one clean cut. bonus points when you get...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    race switching is woke, it just isnt everywhere in this show. Actually its kind of funny how token they are about it. We've got a black elf and a black dwarf and a black hobbit. One of each. A couple other hobbits may have been some other brown race, it was hard to tell since they're all so...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I'm surprised how good this is. the black dwarf chick is every bit as terrible as expected, just ludicrous, she's in full on sassy black girl mode every second she's on screen. nails on a chalkboard levels of cringe. But she's one character. its not like all the dwarves are twerking.

    I'm sure by the end of the day they'll have talked themselves into this all being bullish again. See, high inflation now means lower inflation in the future! Large hikes in Sep means smaller hikes in the future! Economic shitshow now means the future can only be brighter, buy buy buy

    She-Hulk

    This is the first MCU project my son has no interest in. He loves this shit so much he even watched Ms Marvel and didnt hate it, said it was kind of interesting because of the different culture. But this thing, he just shakes his head and he's like "I dunno, I've read things..." So damn proud

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    The widespread existence of bland food - bland food as the default - this rustles my jimmies. This isnt just a matter of preference; "oops I wish I'd ordered the spicy version". No, what I'm saying is why the fuck is bland tasteless food the default, and if you want some flavor on it, you need...

    She-Hulk

    Its a shame, if they'd actually gone into the fact that women can't keep their shit together 1/10th as well as the average guy, it would have been an interesting show. The power of the Hulk, but without his long history of having to control it. A sudden wake up call where the female main...

    Eh, Tex Mex is great but its sort of its own thing. Its like American Chinese - entirely different from the original and usually better. California Mexican food is the peak of Mexican food. The real thing, prepared by Mexicans in a generally authentic Mexican style, just with better...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    This "they/them" as a singular rustles my jimmies more than almost anything else about the LGBTQ bullshit movement. "Them" is fucking plural you assholes. The only case where I can see making an exception would be for dissociative identity disorder. Still crazy, but at least the pronoun...

    Unexpectedly is such a funny word. In grade school, kids would try to avoid embarrassment by claiming "I meant to do that!" For some reason when those same kids grow up they try avoid embarrassment by claiming the exact opposite. "I had no idea this was coming!" Which always raises the...
