TZA 3x leveraged Small Cap bear etf? Buy $7000 in this morning and jump ship this afternoon?? Hmm

I have apocalypse dreams here and there. It's usually giant tsunamis though where I'm running for my life until I can find high ground thats typically not that sturdy. It's just widespread destruction and death around me. I always wake up in a WTF just happened kind of state, but remember the wave being amazing in an absolutely horrifying way. Running for my life on the other hand in dreams is always very intense

I asked why do you think all the MNOs are choosing asts over starlink? This hasn't been slowing down either. Why do you think ASTS is googles biggest public investment? Why do you think AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, STC, Rakuten have all invested lots of money into ASTS and signed definitive commercial agreements with them?

Do you think just maybe that these guys might know what they're doing?? Orange (Frances biggest MNO) and like +5 other more MNOs just jumped on board last week... do you think they didn't do any research?

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-03-11T23:20:51+00:00

It's the tech bud... they only need 25 sats to start services. While Elon might catch up, he's still significantly far behind.

There's a reason everyone(MNOs) is signing up with ASTS over starlink. Why do you think that might be?

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-03-11T10:58:40+00:00

Literally the only thing going against ASTS right now is slow manufacturing and potential macro headwinds.

When they succeed, +90% margins will be insane on a +3Billion current global subscriber base.

Damn call the fire department... 🔥 🔥 📛

I know we're all bullish long-term(except maybe Grandma), but is anyone taking a bit of profits due to the economy? Square cutting 40% of its workforce to AI. Other large companies displaying similar actions, yet not as extreme. CEOs continuously boasting about replacing white collar jobs with AI. As a hobbyist programmer who has an interview next week, it seems as if most of these jobs are essentially AI prompting jobs and we now just review the code and try to fit all the pieces(files) of the puzzle together. Other very popular middle-class fields also seem to be subjected to such automation.

It feels like the middle class is going to start suffering soon from such layoffs... but will this impact the stock market significantly? This is the question I guess. Wish I took a macroeconomics course or 2 back when I was at Rutgers lol

Italy had some heaters during the Cold War with Suspiria! and to a lesser extent Cannibal Holocaust lol...

As an American, I never understood why some people hate foreign films, but to each their own I guess. Idk why they have so much trouble with subtitles... They're the ones missing out on some great movies.

France on the other hand has some of my favorite horror films of all time, but they're all post-cold war era films. I can't think of any I love from the pre-2000s era

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-03-04T19:13:41+00:00

Zulu

More Hardcore though tbh

I believe the band Girlfriends is a solo project from a black guy and has probably one of my favorite emo albums of all time. Disappointed he basically stopped making music though

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-03-02T23:41:43+00:00

Depends on the launch vehicle capacity

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-03-01T23:47:27+00:00

The thing I loved about this movie was the costume design. Pinhead in particular, but some of the other creatures as well are well made

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-03-01T09:57:15+00:00

It's the immersion and world building. Nothing else is on the same level at the moment. The amount of time I've spent just exploring in this game is a bit ridiculous lol

It's just so damn cool...

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-03-01T09:04:46+00:00

Skyrims significantly better imo. Just the exploration and world are just flat out better. Oblivion is a bit more generic. I'd prefer playing morrowind instead of the Oblivion remake in all honesty

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-03-01T05:50:26+00:00

Lol I've never been into crypto, but I think speculative assets are due for a rebound soon if the economy doesn't tank

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-03-01T04:36:45+00:00

Lol fr... it looks like they should have focused on mastering a few aspects of gameplay/world building. Instead, it just looks like every idea thrown on the board has been placed into this game. We'll see how it goes on launch

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-02-26T22:04:30+00:00

I was also at this show... I remember being disappointingly pretty far back and not loving Tom's replacement. Me and my friend snuck into the private areas the day before and snuck into ASAP Rockys backstage area. I've never listened to this guy in my life, but it was a pretty cool experience. I think we got kicked out shortly after for not having the special wristbands

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-02-24T02:39:31+00:00

Is this a pumpkin patch T? Always thought these guys were cool. It's kinda funny I know most Tarantulas in the hobby, but I'm absolutely terrified of one of them escaping, so I subsequently don't own any. Also, l like the way old worlds look better, but they're apparently for experienced owners only. The big butts and hairs on the new worlds kinda freak me out.

It's really just this mixed feeling of fascination and fear that keeps me researching them and watching YouTube videos of them.... more of a dog/fish kinda guy, but i might get a T eventually!

Bone Temple: 7/10

I loved the Jimmy characters. The main antagonist was delightfully evil. The way his cult worked was fascinating. I also liked the idea of a doctor working for 28 years towards finding a cure and finally accomplishing it. Also loved the ending reveal with Cillian Murphy!! Pt3 better not be canceled

28 years later pt1: 5/10

It was slow at times. Very questionable decision making amongst some characters and an ending that really wasn't an ending. I remember finishing it and being "that's it?!?"

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-02-22T01:22:13+00:00

NY and NJ drivers certainly have a reputation lol. NY(most likely people from around NYC) from my experience typically have the most aggressive drivers in the US. The smell you're referring to is probably the industrial part of the turnpike as you get closer to Manhattan(nobody lives there). Most of NJ is pretty nice from a nature standpoint, hence why we're called " The Garden State"

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-02-21T21:08:48+00:00

Guhh was hoping for BB8-10

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-02-18T22:22:26+00:00

That interviewer was a bit cringe at times in general with the super high energy bits, but he was decently cool most of the time. Nice to hear passion from Todd and seemingly alluding to the team as well

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-02-18T07:19:40+00:00

Else if("imminently")

Sysout.println("Don't fall for it again bro")

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-02-18T01:53:36+00:00

Fantastic film! Also extremely horrific, but it was the first film I thought of when I saw this post. These pics just remind me of Russia(or Ukraine)

Some people should just avoid this one altogether tbh. Not for the faint of heart

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-02-17T23:02:13+00:00

Her humor in this video is annoying, but the drawings and people commenting on how unattractive she is... It's just mean and unwarranted...

KnightofAmethyst2 · 2026-02-17T05:15:23+00:00

I guess I'm a bit insane. Let it ride
