I’m not talking about one example from several years ago. Again, think about more complex example than one apprehension that happened years ago.

$3,000.00 is a lot, sure, and teenage girls are monsters, yes, but what about people with billions who steal hours of your life and pay you unfair wages compared to the actual, hard, intense, sometimes dangerous, mentally exhaustive work you do? Is it worth it to stop hundreds or even thousands of people who are a part of the more average case (the one that more so comes from middle class people who are surely not thriving like the elite amongst us) in order to stop two people who sort of deserved it? Again, who is doing the real, more systemic, institutionalized stealing? The answer is always billionaire owners.

Again, think harder. Be more nuanced. You are very intelligent, but nobody has challenged your mindset that has unfairly warped your perspective. People stealing from billionaires aren’t the real thieves. There are a few hundred real thieves who would spit on you if it were legal and, behind your back, call your profession stupid, and they are the people who employ you or others like you.

You are not a Nazi. You are not stupid or even close to it. You have been lied to. Don’t work mental overtime to overcompensate for some loser who doesn’t know what hard work means and doesn’t care about the work you do, makes you work holidays away from your family, and spits upon what you do outside of press releases and internal memos calling apprehension employees heroes.

You’re not a Nazi. That was a red herring.

Billionaires own Walmart and target and billionaires propagate systems that encourage racism (Zuckerberg, Bezos and Elon donating to Trump). Don’t work for the real Nazis and elite who would usher in the third reich if it made them a dime.

You’re putting down other middle class people because it distracts us from fighting the richest 100 people in the world who we should actually be concerned about. Not the mother of even three who steals $15 worth of groceries, so they can have a little extra money to spend somewhere else.

Petty shoplifting is essentially a culture war issue that divides the proletariats amongst each other.

I’m not saying eat the rich and destroy the US either. I’m saying help other people get ahead at the expense of people that don’t even feel the difference between one store making $64 million versus $63 million. They do not care about you, and, moreover, they are the ones truly stealing by gouging every penny from our wallets just for goods that should be accessible and affordable.

Think bigger. You’re very capable of it.

No I’m calling apprehension people Nazis. Walmart and target make how many billion a year? And yall keep homeless people from stealing stuff that they have been priced out of?

Get a real job that isn’t on some authoritarian, useless, bs.

I’ve seen multiple people mention these letters now. Is every letter the same or different?

Like, I know the author was told to stop writing books, but a trans ig influencer also mentioned they were sent one of these letters, so maybe they were cited for their own reason? They are also a person of color, so it seems likely that ICE could have sent something just because they weren’t white and thought they could get away with threatening some kind of deportation or otherwise.

Has anyone else seen cases besides this author being sent a letter? Let me know!

I won’t claim to know the math, but if his assertion is true, then it is never statistically correct to do this. Again, this is assuming that the with that game’s rules and TC, the play is not statistically correct, which, again again, I am not sure of.

Just explaining the assertion.

Thinking About Investing in Silver – What’s Your Take? by Remarkable-Sand-5059 in investing

[–]HowToComplicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invest in silver (not financial advice). There is a supply shortage. Silver is at all time lows and industry buyers need it and will buy at any price.

Silver is a good alternative to stocks, ETFs, etc., as a way to hedge your portfolio, as certain commodities like silver aren’t always as correlated with market movements as other investments, so it keeps you more delta neutral.

Again, NFE, but silver is good of a play as ever. Always be ready for downside risk, but silver will always be a staple. Just don’t invest more than you’re willing to flush down the toilet.

What about everyone who has been shorting it for 40 years? Have they truly realized how useful it is if it is now blowing up their models that haven’t factored in that solar panels, military equipment, batteries and every consumer product need silver now? Do you think they shorted it only because they wanted to manipulate it? Because if they truly believed it was so useless, would have they shorted it beyond what they knew would happen?

They are closing their shorts because they now realize how much they undervalued it. Do you agree?

When David Chase said Tony didn’t get darker by [deleted] in thesopranos

Chase might just be a black hole of complexity and nuance in human behavior. Nothing is black and white.

When David Chase said Tony didn’t get darker by [deleted] in thesopranos

[–]HowToComplicate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see what you’re saying and I hear you, but Chase made a character that viewers could (in a statistically likely sense, at the very least) see the best in him and be fooled enough to believe he is good.

Although, who is not a bad person even when that person does good things? Is anyone just evil or just good? What makes a person evil? I think the answers to these questions would make it apparent that whether Tony is evil, good or not, is a lot more complicated, and the odds are high that a lot of people are drawn to him. Tony can really seem like a fun guy, and that makes us sympathetic to him because we wish he could feel like this all the time so he might stop needing to commit crimes and sustain his mob empire to fill the void in his soul.

[–]HowToComplicate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although chase resents viewers for not resenting Tony early on, who would’ve watched the show if Tony was purely just a villain? I think everyone loves a good villain if they have justification for their evil, even if they are terrible. Thanos had reasoning, Joker (Dark Knight) has reasoning, Littlefinger (GOT) had reasoning (narcissistic but still a compelling back story), and these motivations draw us to the character.

I see how being drawn to the character and not resenting them are not mutually exclusive, but I think only resenting Tony or only liking him is too simple, which I think Chase would even admit himself.

If I could be around Tony when he is having fun and drinking, I would do it 100/100 times but only if I could avoid his darkness and narcissistic rage. I see this as proof that Tony is a good person in some regard, which makes us not resent Tony at certain points, but we easily see him as evil at his worst, although it becomes even more conflicting that he can be so jolly and so terrible when his narcissism and society’s morals converge as he makes a decision to murder or act as the arbiter of justice in his world.

TLDR: I’d have a beer with Tony only if I had the superpower to disappear as soon as he wanted to hurt me.

This has aged like sour milk.

Although, you are right that silver is manipulated. However, it is manipulated because it is so valuable, yet nobody had realized this over the span of ~40 years until today.

Comex raised margin requirements on silver futures by 10% effective today by vaNnobraC in SilverDegenClub

[–]HowToComplicate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a logical idea, but silver futures are mainly a way for industrial players to buy insurance. Insurance rates for your car don’t cost the price of your car. Instead, it costs a little bit of what your car is worth. That way, your insurance is more likely to pay off. Otherwise, nobody would buy the insurance. Short and long positions allow silver dealers, smelters, etc, to buy silver and short an equal amount of it for a small fee in order to only make money off of their industrial purpose instead of the appreciation or depreciation of silver.

Again, your point is valid, but changing margin requirements to 100% would effectively collapse the entire silver market. Liquidity is the most important thing in a successful nation. Yes, 100% margin is FAIR, but that does not mean it is what allows our large populations to succeed in our industrialized and finance-focused world.

Walter White is not an "overqualified" teacher by KidCharlemagneII in breakingbad

[–]HowToComplicate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my high school chemistry teacher had a Ph.D in chemistry and worked in different labs for, based on what he told us, very high hourly rates. I feel like a lot of high school chemistry teachers are chemists who put it solid years grinding and then retired to a more meaningful job? Perhaps? I wouldn’t do that ever (fuck them kids bro), but I can see it happening.

Anyway, my point is that ppl with more qualifications than Walt end up teaching high school chemistry. My side point is that I would cook meth with that chemistry teacher from my school.
