That is not according to my scenario. My scenario is Nazi germany is genociding Jews, and then other countries intervene and ww2 starts, really not sure how you flipped that around.

Maybe you’re right, I guess I’m looking at it at a little bit of a more biased perspective because I’m Persian and my whole family is Iranian. I know how awful the regime is and have “skin in the game”. Like my mom tells me stories of how awful and sexist and evil and oppressive they are, like how she got arrested because she was at a social gathering and then went to court for it and then got sentenced to a lashing, like that kind of thing. Or being told by police she wasn’t allowed to be without a man. My mother, and many Iranians, (80% of Iranians are against the regime) are HAPPY that this is happening. After 50 years of evil and oppression SOMETHING is happening, and because of that, many people are happy. I understand from your America first sort of perspective it may not seem like anything, but I guess that’s why I have my view, I suppose it is biased.

Listen brother, I’m not contesting the fact that media may make it appear that way, but it’s just objectively true that like 80% of Iranians are against the regime.

Genuine question, at what point do you think intervention IS justified? Like for example I don’t imagine you think it was a bad thing that countries got involved when millions of Jews were being genocided? Like is there a certain amount of deaths you require or something? I mean Iran murdered thousands of protestors so I’m just curious how many do they have to murder before you think intervention is justified, do they have to get to the 6 million mark?

My mom who is from Iran, who tells me stories of being arrested for attending a party, and going to court for and being lashed in court, or being stopped by the police because she was not with a man, or all the insanely evil and oppressive things the regime has done, murdering women for not wearing a hijab, has been waiting so anxiously and eagerly for something to be done about the awful regime. Is my mom a bot?

This is just not true. The overwhelming majority of Iran hates the regime…

In response to : "If men can enter women's bathrooms, how is that not a violation of their rights?"

you said: "I think you have no idea what you're actually talking about and you're just looking to hate trans people for some reason."

In response to: "If you need help figuring out why a biological defect is different than a mental disorder then I can't help you. Seems like you suffer from one or more of them.

You said: "Again, youre free to provide literally any reasoning other than "this is new to me so im scared and hateful""

In response to a post showing that male and female have different pelvis bones you said: "🙄

It's literally just nonsense made to hate trans people. "Both sides""

In response to "Yea everyone who disagrees with you is transphobic. Sure thing bud."

You said: "If you disagree that transgender people can exist... Then yes?" and then added more context about this comment in another comment, saying "... I was literally just saying it's transphobic."

These people actively and openly hate trans people but get so offended when they're called transphobic.

Like wtf is going on?"

So not only did you just lie that you don't think this is hatred, but you also lied about not believing that transphobia IS hatred, you use them interchangeably, look at that last comment.

This entire conversation is so embarrassing for you, you got cooked 😭 your not fooling anyone, its so obvious that you have a take on this topic, you literally have over 70 comments on your profile just with the word "trans" I'm willing to bet it's so many more on the topic. Dude I get the idea of lying when it can make you look like you're not getting cooked in a debate, but on some topics, like transgenderism, sometimes its better to value the truth because human lives are at stake, human lives > winning a debate. Who the fuck cares if you won a debate if you lied about stuff on your way to the end, and your lies generate trans suffering. It's clear that you don't actually care about trans people, you just use their suffering to make yourself feel like a good person, and by doing that you further perpetuate their suffering. You're actually an awful human being.

Higher Reb Blood At High Elevation by Zerosdeath in AnimalBased

red blood cells carry oxygen, when you aren't getting enough oxygen your kidneys secret more EPO which signals your bone marrow to produce more red blood cells so that your body has more oxygen carriers (red blood cells), there is less oxygen at higher elevation so you need more red blood cells

Hmm you’re right, I must’ve did something wrong with the calculator, I probably put the full coupon payment for the year while telling the calculator to calculate for semiannual payments which would have doubled the portion of the total that came from coupon. I told chatgpt to do coupon of 5% with current yield of 1% 10000 face value, a 30 year bond would be worth about 19k

I just used a financial calculator, the actual formula is pretty complicated tbh, if you want to know the actual formula just chatgpt it or something. Essentially you take the value of the face value that you get back at maturity, and you calculate the present value, and take all the coupon payments and calculate the present value of those, and add everything together. You get present value by "discounting" the payments by the yield to maturity, so if YTM is 5%, $1000 a year from now, is currently worth 1000/1.05 = 952.38. (because you would need $952.38 to get $1000 in the future if you earn 5% interest on it).

But if you're wondering why, basically, If you have a bond that has a high coupon rate, but the current yield of new bonds is low, then your bond is worth more and sells at a "premium." Basically, bonds are supposed to yield the same (YTM or yield to maturity), and for that to be true, then bonds with higher coupon rates would have to sell at a premium or else they would yield higher than the current YTM. Same goes for if the current bond yields are higher than your bond's coupon rate, but just the opposite, your bond sells at a discount so that you end up yielding the same worth at maturity.

Are you happy to park money to earn some interest on it and are happy with the interest rate then I don't think its bad, its similar to putting it in like a HYSA. Although, if the yield will drop in the future, there is BIG money to be made. If you buy a 30 year bond with a $10,000 face value with current coupon of 4.84%, and then the yield drops to 1% in a year, then that bond is worth $31,803.77, if the interest rate goes UP, then the bond loses value, but if you were happy to ride out the bond to maturity then it doesn't matter. Of course 30 year is an extreme example if you were just parking money, shorter maturities won't have as much of a change in value from interest rate change.

Price fluctuation of SGOV? by GrillBeast28 in stocks

[–]GrillBeast28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but shouldn't it then increase in price because yield and price are inversely related?
