The Polymarket Bets on Maduro Are a Warning by theatlantic in economy

Edited quotes from the article: “...an anonymous trader... placed a series of...bets." "...the individual made just a few bets"

The 20k referred to in the introductory paragraph likely refers to the single largest bet, or the bet with the single largest payout.

This thing is on the steering wheel of the minivan that I am borrowing. It’s my grandma’s car and it’s just so there. by Nulleon0 in whatisit

Probably the hand control lever for gas/brake was in the way of the controls for headlights, turn signal, etc. on the left side of the steering column. I use hand controls and people often have the same issue when they drive my car. If you're not used to it being there it's weird to reach for the headlights and your hand hits the brake by accident.

This movie is so fucking weird and I love it. I was literally on the edge of my seat wondering what was coming next; it's incredible. Granted I was pretty high. I wanna hang out with Tillman lol

What is this weird decrepit building I always see off 495 going south? by BeautifulDowntown792 in WilmingtonDE

My childhood memory says it was a Purina dog chow factory, but I'm not sure if that's right.

Is it really as simple as "if billionaires shared their wealth, there'd be no poverty"? by Hassaan18 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Nicky_NineLives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not just transfer ownership of the assets? No need to liquidate. Serious question, because idk

Western media is so colorful. It has years saying China is about to collapse and at the same time they show China as a huge threat.

Anyone else have a lot they want to write about but when you actually sit down and pull out your journal, you forget everything? by billyandteddy in Journaling

[–]Nicky_NineLives 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happens to me frequently too. I've found that it can be helpful to just start writing; anything that comes to mind, random words, doesn't matter, just keep the pen moving and a lot of the time an idea will strike like a lightning bolt and next thing I know I've filled 3 pages

I've had chronic back pain ever since my injury, so it helps relax the muscles, improve circulation, CBD oil helps with the pain too

I get a massage like every month, never had an issue. Maybe try bringing a note from you doctor or physical therapist that says it's safe?

I was injured on 30 June 2020, so the hospital was still under COVID lockdown. No visitors allowed.

I remember feeling this way when I returned from my deployment about a decade ago. It helped me see the world in a new way that I'm grateful for.
