Its only a month or two ago I was getting kicked off other forums for mentioning inflation. They said it was "too political" and asked me for sources. lol. "Its not really inflation, its just supply chain issues!" they said. I wouldnt hate this timeline so much if I didnt have to share it with...

eh - theres a huge amount of unknowns. Mysteries. Shit we don't understand. The default starting position in the universe is "I don't know shit" and for 99.99999+% of the universe - including our own history - we're still at that stage. Actual evidence of a non-human intelligence anywhere in...

lol no, while I agree with your assertion that there are likely many unknown, lost ancient civilizations, Occams razor clearly points to a different conclusion than you've reached about UFOs. its all made up, 100%. Not even convincingly. Not even the kind of thing where you come away thinking...

ships moved while invis. people moved while invis. what, swinging your arm, that breaks the invis? I don't remember anyone ever trying to justify that in the movie. ah nm, EQ joke! its been so long

This is one of the things you guys talk about that still sounds like magic. The twitching becomes uncontrollable long before I see 133%. Good example, I caught a nice short term run on AVAV. Trimmed half at 24%. It dipped then back up, I sold the rest at 33%. If I'd held just a couple days...

Fun movie. Whole thing would have gone very different if

I drink black coffee too, I don't mind bitter, I just like balance. Buncha Euros I was working with in the field once complained about the chocolate (something Australian); "bleh, chocolate isnt supposed to be sweet!" and nodded to each other approvingly in that fart sniffing manner only Euros...

I just wish there was a single paid streaming service with an interface as good as the pirate sites. All the streaming service interfaces are pure unadulterated AIDS in a GUI form.

Fuck IPA. IPA is like if someone tasted coffee, with its rich and complex profile of bitter and aromatic tastes... and said "hey I bet I can make this MORE BITTER!" Or if someone tasted red wine, with its complex profile of sweet, sour, and astringent qualities.. and said "hey I bet I can take...

The period joke goes on way too fucking long for a kids movie. I was like ok, I guess theyre gonna do a bunch of jokes about diarrhea and masturbation too? No, just periods. For like a solid 5 minutes. In a kids movie that young boys may be watching. Yeah, thats good clean fun.

What a dumb fucking take https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/03/12/the_real_reason_that_pornography_can_lead_to_male_sexual_dissatisfaction_821107.html I suggest this alternative interpretation

This is useful, thanks. I will say that my ignorance is not for a lack of reading the thread; what I've found (maybe just some defect in how I'm wired) is its difficult to reconstruct the previous discussion because I wasnt watching the market at the time. What has been incredibly useful is...

What I don't understand about this position is, its certainly true long term but inflation doesnt cut 20-50% of your value overnight, while in theory a market crash can. Why not pull back for a short period when things are shit? Seems like a minor loss for a large benefit (if done at the right...

Yesterday was quite a ride. My USEG fluctuated between +180% and +70% throughout the course of the day; my total portfolio ranged from +2 to +4 over the same range. Learning some lessons about taking crazy profits when they show up and not getting greedy, but at least I did have the wisdom to...

I'd be curious to hear some thoughts on cutting losses in a trading context (stocks I have no interest in holding long term). Any general rules of thumb you guys go by? e.g. I had a couple that were down like 1-2% and didnt foresee them recovering in the time frame I wanted so I had no major...

Just read a post complaining about ""overcooked""" chicken wings and now I'm rustled thinking about every undercooked, non-crispy chicken wing I've ever eaten Doubly rustled now that theres a wing shortage. All those wings died for nothing, their lives wasted on a plate improperly rendered fat...

Whats an overcooked chicken wing? Never been to BWW but if they cook their wings crispy by default I'm gonna have to try it. Motherfucking wing places that serve soft flabby wings are like if there was a restaurant with "Bacon" in the name but by default all the bacon came out soft and you had...

thats terrible. which content?

On reflection, I don't think they actually explained to the German wagon train folks what the danger was. At least not on camera. I mean, it wasnt just the usual dangers of the trail. There was a very specific reason why they all needed to get the fuck out right away. When the Germans said they...

I've never understood the choice of 50 and 200. I get that once the market starts using a certain level like that it becomes self fulfilling, but what I'm wondering about is why those levels were chosen in the first place. Arbitrary round numbers or more than that? Seems like something based...

damn, I was feeling good about getting JPM at 140, somebodys about to get a great deal

Shes the only one so far, not too rustled BUT, they are totally doing the goddam ridiculous "no one notices she's the only black person" thing.

While "miss" isnt the right word I do think every now and then that Keg and GeneralAntony would fit in well on todays FOH and contribute some quality entertainment. Is Lithose gone? things have been kind of concise around here lately

Only watched Ep 1 so far but I agree, this didnt get the WOT treatment the ads had led me to fear.

Sure. I get that, but surely one does something, right? Maybe the right answer is "don't bother changing anything, cause its too big to be able to defend against it?" I don't know.

Assuming China waits until after Monday morning, what investment strategies do yall have in mind for the invasion of Taiwan? Dump tech? Buy US Semiconductors? Defense, energy, commodities? Pull it all back into cash and watch the world burn? I've read thoughts on the subject other places but...

SQ +23%, damn. Didnt know that stock could move in that direction.

This is a good challenge. I suspect most of us, if faced with that situation, would do it. Everyone who does will regret it in the end, and wish they'd stayed blind, but I admit this situation would make it really hard to resist.

I dunno if this belongs in the loss porn thread but somebody may have already done their bargain shopping yesterday :( I get that this is ok, theyre all stocks I'm happy to hold for a long time. But as an OCD bargain shopper in all areas of life, feels bad man.

eternity doing data entry / IT work? I think there was a book about this long ago by some Italian dude, Dante something or other

I get that, but the narration could be her journal or something. I'd say theres no way they would be so unrealistic as to have her survive that except I've been watching all season.

So your complaint is that the discussion about the shows flaws becomes repetitive with the same people saying the same things over and over? I mean, I guess I get that in terms of not being interested in reading the discussion, but isnt this pattern just happening because ... the show suffers...

2FA being tied to having an electronic device in your possession is fundamentally flawed and its fucked up it it was ever accepted. The government being able to lock you out of everything (and you're right about that) is just one of the many ways this can fuck users.

I don't get the complaining about complaining theme. What are we supposed to do, just chime in "I like this show" once a week? Thatd be an interesting discussion. Actually, I kind of assume everyone not posting about it, but watching, is in that camp. "I like this show". They just don't bother...

Great show. On re watching the finale it bugs me a little though how that fight went down. Harcourt and Vigilante should be dead. Multiple gunshots, no superpowers, no first aid. It was just weird having that "oh nevermind we're all fine actually" moment coming from a show based on Suicide...

Actually, I'm pretty sure thats close to how dreams work. I think your brain just does random nonsense all night and there is no story. But in the instant of waking up your brain tries to recreate some narrative that connects all the random impulses into a cohesive story. In other words, when...

If I get food at a restaurant - whether fast food or real restaurant - if I drive that food home and eat it there, its fucking cold garbage. Fast food expires about 2 minutes after it leaves the window. No longer worth eating. Now explain why I would want to pay someone - a person who can't...

I'm posting this article from an esteemed media outlet https://www.the-sun.com/tech/4717589/sun-erupting-non-stop-flares-scientists/ I know its not a scientific journal or even a real newspaper but given the subject material I think it can be given a pass this time Interesting to think about...

Fair enough that they said the word marriage, but only after the fact or without any kind of actual wedding or any suggestion that "wait you have to get married first, harlot"
