in the city, nobody gives a fuck about you long as you don’t stop them from going from point a to point b. interrupt them though and you better have a good fucking reason

least in the proper big cities, experience probably differ in the more segmented/living-in-the-past places like Boston, where old grudges lie deep

depends on how much you want to fuck with em, in the case of jewphobia i like to give em a l’chaim.

“oh shit, the jews really are everywhere”

can confirm, any guy wearing a scarf in the sticks is probably (considered by others to be) a fag

there’s an old saying that goes pigs and lambs get slaughtered, bulls and bears can always make $.

it really isn’t nearly as risky as everyone makes it out to be if you use a modicum of common sense.

granted, there’s also Buffet’s old saying that everyone is a genius in a bull market…which is precisely why i’m using all the leverage i safely can…all this ratfuckimg is being pumped into the msrkets, might as well take as much for yourself as you can while it lasts because the crash is coming sooner than later (can’t time the top, but you can buy insurance via puts on the blatantly overpriced indices)…that’s the big filter that seperates those that know from those that think they know

oh for sure, especially boston. bunch of cheap shit thrown down by private equity REIT’s just price gouging yuppie college kids/families fir every $ they can.

idk though, the century old buildings always seem to have mold/airflow issues ime.

i said cash out a couple mil, i’ll have double digit millions in port to still work with, just more passively.

i was skeptical at first too, but it really doesn’t take that much risk to print a stupid amount of $ in a market like this, leverage helps you exponentially long as your not completely fucking stupid. don’t short anything (at a price you don’t want to sell/own, atleast, if you want to for whatever reason), don’t trade shit you don’t understand, and cut your losers fast/let your winners run

follow those basic rules and it’s impossible to get margin called (long as you don’t max it like an idiot, top out at 50% or so to give yourself buffer zone)

not day trading, that’s the real beautiful part of actually knowing how all this works. just avoid the obviously overpriced shit, trade with the barest understanding of the actual value of the underlying and don’t short anything and it’s practically impossible to lose $ in a bull market.

more of swing/event trader i guess. the casino is designed to catch your eye daily to keep you playing as much as possible but most movement outside of monthly/quarterly is bullshit algo games, MM’s incentived to “make things exciting”. the real money is made on the slightly longer timescales when you know when to hold/sell (event trades of course going on their own schedule)

point is in a bull market, especially a bubble…there’s shitloads of $ flying around, all these ratfucks getting blank checks from corrupt uncle sam don’t spend their $…they put it into the casino, add in the passive/algo traders, pensioners just mindlessly buying in every paycheck etc… hunting that liquidity down for yourself really isnt all that hard to do once you understand they key differences between US markets and rest of world (especially EU, who like theirs predictable)

i don’t plan on doing it very long, while it’s not day trading it is far more active than I’d care to do longterm, and it kind of puts a bad taste in your mouth when you know how it works and have a working concious. I started out working class nobody, you know what these rich fucks call a job? the labor trap…wages are capped, and politicians they’ve bribed keep it that way. the game is rigged, playing fair only insures you stay poor for life

but when a bubble bursts and everything crashes…anyone with barest understanding of the markets stands to make a shitload. i’ll probably be able to turn this 5000% gain into 10-20x that easy if not more… i’ll cash out a couple million and try to break into some industry that interests me (still not sure yet), then spend rest of my freetime trying to put this blood money to good use fixing this fucked up country/world we’ve built for ourselves

…remind me again what the protestants did to…every culture in NA they encountered, again?

that is exactly how the US markets are setup, you can compare the US markets to EU or practically any other besides Japan and they’re drastically less exciting.

the US’s is designed around “maximizing lquidity” via a mix of over and under regulation all meant to increase volatility.

it’s incredibly easy to beat the market when it a bull market (where do you think all these ratfucks put their illgotten gains…), i’m up 5000%+ ytd, not shorting anything just buying low selling high

if it’s 130y old it probably is a shithole tbh

stop he’s already dead

there’s no room for tolerating intolerance, had the protestants been wiped out instead of dumped in NA the world at large would be better for it

worst thing for sexuality the UK ever did was let the protestants flee to the US instead of executing them (which they had no trouble doing with so many other “undesirables”), now their braindead dogma is spreading back across the pond

wont be long, we’re about to have a bubble-pop/crash to rival 2000-2008 combined, anyone with exposure to US markets gonna have a bad time

what do you really expect from a nation of cucks who couldn’t be bothered to execute/exile their royalty back when that was the popular thing to do in europe?

there is literally no bar to become a cop in the US, in many jurisdictions (some areas have gotten so fed up with outrageous civil lawsuit payouts, that they finally crack down on their local police…but that’s rare and still filled with nepotism)

it’s the realm of high-school dropouts going on power trips.

i mean…still not sure what anyone expects steam to do here. engage with your playerbase and ask them to leave reviews or be ignored, can’t expect valve to do all that. literally anything they do/don’t do will piss someone off, they start actively curating shit and soon enough devs and players both will start accusing them of being paid off to promote more mainstream stuff or something

besides…this all is just kind of how the entertainment business works…it’s a highly competitive field with a finite supply of attention to fight over, and as more great stuff is released your competition gets harder compete with. that goes for more than just games, music/movies/everything. even making something good and properly advertised/marketed is no guarantee anyone actually buys it, that’s why publishers became a thing in the first place (that they then tend to abuse their positions is it’s own problem)

last i checked you only need 50 reviews (with atleast 75%+ positive) for steam’s algo to aggressively start promoting your game on front-page to fans of the relevant tags. i’m honestly surprised there arent some cheap bot-farm ran by “influencers” for this exact purpose, 50 reviews really isnt that many but so few people bother to leave any that reaching that threshold is pretty crucial for serious game devs.

nothing will ever remove these videos from the internet, you can type GDP e# and find every single episode right now via regular search engines.

it’s the internet…that’s how it works, never going to change. dmca threats only matter against legitimate businesses with significant exposure to US markets, like Pornhub, which don’t even host that content (anymore, they purged alot of their dubious “amatuer” content right around the same time as all this shit went down, iirc). To everyone else, your dmca requests are rightfully treated like toilet paper.

the best thing the US could do to stop these US-based sex trafficking pipelines is invest in public education, so their woman are smarter and less susceptible to them. (as well as invest in a proper social safety net, so only those that actually want to do sex-work get into the business), but the nation where scam-culture reigns naturally loves to keep it’s population stupid and struggling
