Godamn, look at that transparency, now this is a fucking png! Alpha AF.

Oh damn, Ludwig is getting old

Ayn, Anbernic, retroid, those are three reputable companies. Ayn is top of the line with Thor, retroid is midrange, and Anbernic has a bit of everything, but they have the most affordable units i would trust.

How privileged you are to live with things so close! Us poor car culture slaves will have to continue to drive these devil machines you’ve only experienced briefly as a child. Thank God you can load those mythical beasts and send them home for your wife to unload! Rather then ride in those metal behemoths like us car- brained heathens!

Yeah, no the market has plenty of diversification, there have been times in history where our investments as a country have been much less diverse. When the AI bubble pops, and it will, it’s gonna be just like all the other bubble pops we’ve experienced. People who didn’t sell made back those funds after every crash. The people who needed the money right then, the elderly especially, we’re totally fucked. They couldn’t wait out the dips.

I’ll grant you it’s possible this is end of the American expirement because of mixing this with Trump, but i would have to ignore every other historical example. In which case the money won’t matter at all because there will be no guaranter of American fiat currency, which means you’ll see Argentina levels of inflation, we aren’t even close to that yet.

No it’ll pop, the rich who are heavily invested will make a ton of money when investors move their funds to another bubble, we’re also in a real estate bubble! And the whole machine will keep moving.

If you’re planning for a catastrophic failure you should really be buying that gold tho, precious metals, bullets, guns, fresh water, seeds.

Right, they lose value, but you still retain ownership. As a part of the regular flow of things the money you make from those stocks gets reinvested into more ownership, something that keeps happening even when the value of those stocks fall.

As long as your ownership stays, the market will rebound and you will make a premium because the number of stocks you owned actually went up during the period of value loss.

When people talk about how much money rich people made during covid, they are largely talking about stock value, not just carpet bagging.

Great points, currency arbitrage is not something the average Joe can win at, the money they have access to is already stepped on.

If you are already invested, you can be reasonably separated from the stocks that are inflating, when the bubble bursts, as long as you are diversified the overall dip will serve you.

The directly impacted industries, those AI companies, data centers, blackrock real estate which is currently heavily investing in local power generation, hardware. That kind of stuff will impact the market, but your money is in relation to units owned. That value will come back and you as a long term investor will make a multiplier on any money you lost, because you ownership, your shares continued to go up at the reduced cost.

If you need the money you have invested for living expenses, you are fucked, but long term investors come out of these recessions stronger every time.

That’s managed investment, retail investors who are highly leveraged in the affected industries will be fucked.

Also look at gold, precious metals are a ridiculously solid investment, just don’t buy them at the market highs put of panic.

Yeah you are lmao, that’s the funniest lie you’ve ever told.

I’m sorry you went through all this, it legit sounds like the whole situation broke you mentally, when things that are this high stress go on for that long, it can really fuck you up.

People rarely listen to good advice when the fun mistake is staring them in it face. The not dating at work thing isn’t for when things go right, (a lot of people get married having met at their job) it’s for when things go bad like this. You are trapped with them! Like you said, lesson learned, don’t keep beating yourself up.

Next time, and don’t let this scare you off of dating in general, communicate with your partner before that the idea of knocking up a partner is a genuine fear, set a clear boundary. Good on you for resisting getting back into the situation once you had been made truly uncomfortable.

DNC types get super cagey when you admit that Bill Clinton is a serial adulterer who was in an extreme power imbalance relationship with a woman in her 20’s.

I’m glad the party is willingly offering him up as a sacrifice to the republicans to get keep the Epstein probe going. Every time the GOP tries a burying tactic, they truss Bill up like a suckling pig, and I’m fine with that. Dude is and was a creep.

Oh man, it’s been a while. Without looking up the mod log to confirm, I think i was annoyed the person I was arguing with was bad at it. I probably said something very insulting for no good reason. I can tend to do that every now and again.

I don’t know if this was weirdly aggressive, I probably deserved this. I was banned also.

Wow, waited half day for that, that’s a little depressing.

It’s super fun, though! Especially when the other person actually has a personality and is willing to mix it up.

No,i just find you personally distasteful and don’t mind that you know it.

Agreed, the entire system of tipping the American way should be fucking illegal. Wait staff should earn a living wage. I think it’s way more complicated than that, and you see pushback from the owners and the servers, and any movements to change it haven’t had enough backing socially to change anything.

But that’s kinda how it works, you choose to engage with it by going to an establishment with enployees that rely on tips. I mean hell, most of the time if you have a bad experience it’s due to something the waiter can’t control. Kitchen issues, staffing levels, poorly handled rushes. Being gleeful about how little you tip because of how things have changed… just don’t go out. Avoid having a shitty experience and being a shitty experience for someone else.

This is for you love! So, at least one of your interactions wasn’t shitty in your life ❤️.

At least that’s something, I doubt you do that cause I’ve already seen your justification. Honestly the person handing you drink after drink at the bar, wondering if they need to finally cut you off doesn’t care. I’m guessing they’re just happy to be rid of you. Eat alone isn’t advice I need to give you… is it?
