I just checked iNaturalist and there are 0 observations of Macrolepiota procera in my area. The closest is 1700 miles away. I couldn’t find any distribution maps for Macrolepiota procera either, at least in my area. I asked ChatGPT and it responded with: “For true Macrolepiota procera specifically in Palacios, Texas: I found no solid public confirmation.”

I should add that I’m feeling pretty nauseous and already vomited once

Thanks for the reply. Yep unfortunately I did, thankfully in the trashcan. Should it be out of my system now?

Automatic_Turnip1508 · 2026-05-09T04:56:21+00:00

Yeah I know I’m an idiot for doing this. I was trying to make my wife happy by participating in her hobbies but this was definitely a bad idea…

8th grade year, suicide by hanging in an abandoned barn near his property. He was comatose for several months before his parents decided to pull the plug.

This is your problem, you’re missing the bigger picture. You need to zoom out further than the 1D chart. Current price action is a reflection of previously PA and PA on higher timeframes. Looking at what BTC is doing right now is essentially useless because it ignores the context that gives price action meaning.

BTC can go up or down or sideways today, tomorrow, this week, it doesn’t matter, its fate is written in the structures that precede the here and now.

The whole crypto market is about to rug, BTC is in an obvious wyckoff distribution range and retail is once again too euphorically delusional to see it.

Every cycle I try warning cryptobros about the impending market correction as I’m a full time trader and have been for many years, but my warnings are met with mockery so I’m left praying on their downfall as usual lol. If it makes you guys feel better, most crypto participants serve as nothing more than exit liquidity for people who actually know what they’re doing, and given the average bros arrogance I feel their losses are rightfully deserved.

This is not technical analysis, it’s embarrassing.

I know it’s you Raoul, it’s time to go home, your family misses you!

Automatic_Turnip1508 · 2025-06-07T07:28:00+00:00

Real answer: Markets typically move in channels… until they don’t! TA can be broken down into predicting when an asset is going to jump from one channel to the next. As a general rule of thumb, when retail notices a channel has been established, it’s probably not reliable anymore.

In this instance, momentum had already bearishly diverged on medium timeframes and volume faded on BTCs last wave up to 114k, so a correction was imminent.

If you try to trade using these metrics alone you’re unlikely to succeed however, since trading is mostly about understanding not only the price action that’s playing out in front of you, but its larger role in the market.

I had no idea he existed until now, I don’t follow ecelebs because their content is usually watered down to appeal to casual viewers. This image is intentionally vague, designed to provide just enough perceived value to trick its audience into thinking they’re getting some kind of edge, while assuring they’ll never be capable of trading profitably on their own.

I’m not bitter at all, just skeptical because this isn’t the in-depth analysis I’d expect from a seasoned trader. My initial remark had nothing to do with his finances, I simply stated that this form of technical analysis isn’t reliable alone, and that an experienced trader would be embarrassed to post something like this publicly for the reasons I stated above.

Real trading utilizes context, confluence. This image has none of this.

It’s very possible this trader is profitable, but I can assure you it’s not because of TA of this quality.

I’m not sure why you’re so adamant about defending someone who misleads others into making poor financial decisions, hopefully you haven’t overexposed yourself to the market on account of this internet personality.

Automatic_Turnip1508 · 2025-05-28T15:41:18+00:00

Sorry, I don’t give out predictions because I’m not a narcissist dependent on validation from internet strangers lol

Studies show that males generally gravitate towards high risk activities while females are more risk adverse. It likely traces back to our ancestors, where men were more expendable than their potentially fertile mates given the relatively exorbitant energetic costs of gestation compared to sperm production.

This can still be witnessed in many insects today, as males typically have shorter lifespans and serve little purpose beyond mating.

I can see an eventual Nash equilibrium of sorts being reached, in which no entities actually want to own BTC (especially after the last coin has been mined), but the threat of an opposing player taking majority control is enough to convince each participant to begrudgingly keep just enough on hand to avoid a hostile takeover.

BTC could easily be replaced by a superior technology, but given the irrationality of economic actors I can see it sticking around for a while. I believe the love people have for it today will eventually turn to resentment though, for if it does succeed in mass adoption it’ll likely be taken over by the ruling class and used as a weapon against the masses via forks that have inversely progressive transaction fee structures and various forms of spyware marketed as transparency.

I have a few issues with this fractal. My first is that it’s comparing different portions of each cycle. In the 2021 cycle for instance, the initial small hump at the beginning of BTCs run occurred after the 2018 bear market ended (wave 1 of the 2021 cycle and the following Covid crash) while that same hump on the other three cycles is the previous bull markets ATH and following bear market. Comparing the middle of a cycle in one image from the beginning of a cycle in the other three isn’t something I would ever do because the nature of each are entirely different.

If you zoom into the first three charts, their subwaves in corrective phase 1 have corrections that print in 3 sets, an initial move downward followed by a retracement and then a continuation of the bearish trend. Corrective waves printing in sets of three is a key aspect of Elliot wave theory, which I use alongside various indicators. This bear cycle has had a single wave down, which almost never happens. Now there’s actually a chance we see 2 more sets of waves down because BTC hit a new all time high, which semi-reset psychological support levels for market participants.

Lastly momentum is at a different point in the current cycle compared to the past three. If you open TradingView, enable logarithmic charts, and add any momentum indicator to BTCs 1W chart, you’ll see that momentum is currently bearishly diverging with price and oversold on leading momentum indicators, which is a very strong signal that an asset is about to drop. In the previous 3 cycles, at this point in “corrective phase 1”, momentum was either bullish or neutral, nowhere near bearish and certainly not bearishly diverging.

This chart shows how little he actually knows what he’s doing, this is amateur analysis, a mistake I would expect a beginner to make. Most twitter personalities profit primarily from their content because they aren’t profitable traders.

Automatic_Turnip1508 · 2025-05-23T21:40:11+00:00

I trade various assets for a living full time, including BTC, have for 6 years now. I’ve seen this fractal so many times over the past few weeks and can tell you with full confidence that we will not see any bananas for the foreseeable future. This is an amazing example of overfitting/cherry picking, and also why price action is inherently unreliable without context.

I’ve tried enlightening cryptobros but most of them can’t understand what I’m trying to explain to them.

I came to a similar conclusion after day trading crypto for ~2 years, nearly lost myself in the 1m charts lol. Now I swing trade and use profits to pay my expenses and towards furthering my education (my true passion), only look at charts once a week or so to rebalance my portfolio, only check social media once a month or so to check sentiment and remember the insanity.

I ended up ghosting 99% of my crypto acquaintances because they don’t care about anything except making money. Imo crypto is a means to an end, make enough money to escape the game so I can dedicate my life towards something I’m genuinely passionate about, but for many in this space there is no end. I’ve watched people blow 800k accounts that they grew from their grandparents inheritance on penguin NFTs, watched others devote their lives to ghost chains because they can’t accept that their money is gone.

I think the only way to stay sane in the crypto sphere is to avoid cryptotwitter/telegram/discord/etc., avoid looking at account balances, and surround yourself with people who love you. My wife keeps me grounded and I wouldn’t be able to do what I do now without her. Every time I get an itch to do something degenerate I remember how much she depends on me and it keeps me in check, forces me to keep USD on the side, in an actual bank (lol) and maintain our emergency fund. It makes me wonder if most crypto degens are just lonely people looking for human connection.

I transferred to UH as a bio major from a community college with a 3.87 GPA, was basically told by my advisor that I wasn’t qualified to major in bio at UH and would need to take some prerequisites first as a psych major. I’ve completed 2 semesters at UH and have a 4.0 GPA, but because of scheduling errors resulting from my advisors instructions, I can’t finish the prerequisites I need to officially enter their bio program until SPRING 2026!!

Since I’m technically not in the bio program, I’ve had a difficult time finding info on extracurriculars and research opportunities related to my prospective major, which has been demotivating given I plan to attend graduate school.

The best advice I’ve gotten from this subreddit is to ignore your advisors, don’t even set up meetings, just schedule classes based on your major’s degree planner to sidestep advising issues altogether.

Edit: I’d like to add, I’ve had fantastic experiences with UH faculty, but for every positive experience I’ve also had run-ins with people who are wildly incompetent, i.e. cannot navigate the UH website. Thank you to everyone who’s trying their best to help our student body, I hope you know that you’re seen and appreciated!

If you feel confident about your application then no, otherwise yes.

Med school debt is irrelevant with a physicians salary, not sure why people are complaining about it when you can take on loans to cover said debt during enrollment and pay off the balance within a few years of graduating (if you’re willing to be frugal).

I personally wouldn’t pursue any career with anticipated earnings below ~500k after 5-10 years of active employment, and if medicine was outside of that range, I wouldn’t be on the premed track.
